Drenched Fur Hijinks

Drenched Fur is going well. I was watching a table, and things were slow, so I returned a call for some tech support stuff. My friend Raven saw that I was on the phone, and was being coyly and playfully suggestive while I was talking with the other party. I helped her through the . . . → Read More: Drenched Fur Hijinks

Not the right door to knock on

I woke up this morning, and was catching up on some stuff. The doorbell rang and it was some kind of missionary/door to door Jesus salesperson who proffered a tract. “No thanks, I am Pagan.” I quickly said, which is my standard reply. I should have mentioned that I had to hurry up and . . . → Read More: Not the right door to knock on

The dead are not on Facebook, apparently.

Today was kind of crazy/stressful. I had a hair appointment originally scheduled for Friday morning, and was texted if I could move to today at 5:30 PM That would leave Friday free for Drenched Fur stuff, so I figured that I would go for it. What I was not counting on was a call . . . → Read More: The dead are not on Facebook, apparently.

Erie Times News published my letter about marriage equality

‘Marriage equality strengthens families’

On Oct. 18, 2003, my friend, Bernie Bright, formerly of Erie, married Rick Jackson in Toronto. Toronto had marriage equality since June of that year. Rick and Bernie had been seeing each other for some time. Bernie pretty much spent every weekend in Toronto with the man that he loved. . . . → Read More: Erie Times News published my letter about marriage equality

Another odd exchange from last night

I had almost forgotten about this. I was talking with a friend last night, who used to work at a TV station. Somehow we got on the subject of TV meteorologists, and how they fairly frequently tend to be gay. (I do know some straight TV meteorologists. Okay, not sure if the concentration is . . . → Read More: Another odd exchange from last night

A series of odd exchanges

The weekend is off to a kind of bizarre start. I went to a social thing Friday night, and one of the guys there mentioned about Drenched Fur coming up next weekend, and asked if I thought if we was an Otter or Wolf. (I forget what a Wolf is in the Bear community.) . . . → Read More: A series of odd exchanges

You might want to rethink that abbreviation

I just had a call from a friend, who had gotten an email at work with a subject line of GLBT. Although she’s straight, she knows about the Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender community, which is what most of us associate with that abbreviation. (Sometimes it’s LGBT.) She was slightly taken aback until she . . . → Read More: You might want to rethink that abbreviation

LGBT College forum

This past Thursday, I went to a really nifty LGBT College Forum at Behrend. It was primarily for just students, but they were kind enough to invite me. There were students from almost all the regional colleges, except for Mercyhurst. It turned out later that Mercyhurst is on break, and the administrative person seems . . . → Read More: LGBT College forum

An odd phone call

This past week, I had a rather odd phone call. This happened around midnight. What sounded to be a young woman led in with “Are you guys right off the thruway?” I was sort of puzzled and figured that she was asking about Erie Gay News, and explained that although we weren’t far from . . . → Read More: An odd phone call

A new job title

I had a hair appointment this morning and afterward, since I was on that side of town, I decided to go out to visit my friend John at the nursing home he is at. I had forgotten my hat there last week, so John had been kind enough to save it for me. We . . . → Read More: A new job title
