Though it’s no surprise and I think everyone expected this, I’m still annoyed and angry about the LDS church’s statement regarding Utah’s Amendment 3.
Since this is Utah, the church’s announcement pretty much guarantees that the state’s “marriage protection” amendment will pass, despite criticism from Utah’s top lawyers, lawmakers, and newspapers - even the conservative ones [...]

And welcome to Utah…

I received a forward today that hit me hard, in a bittersweet but good way. It’s Anne Hull’s Washington Post article from last month about 17-year-old Michael Shackelford’s coming out in rural Oklahoma. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to all of us living in our gay urban bubbles that middle America is still out [...]

I think I’ve found a hottie who comes close to rivaling my lust for Nate Berkus, plus Nate may be close to overexposure anyway, at least if my stats are any indication.
I recently discovered New Zealand TV host and former radio DJ Alex Behan, and the man is seriously [...]

On Sunday morning, the passed-out boys were up and at ‘em too early for the bath house boys, so Chris and I stayed in our respective beds while David and Patrick went to Dupont Circle and had some of their own bonding time.
Sunday was a recovery day for Patrick as his sensitive stomach was still [...]

On Thursday, our first full day in Washington, Patrick and I wandered around our temporary neighborhood (Capitol Hill) with the best friend’s girlfriend (whom I love) and went to meet Chris and David (aka”the Other Couple” or “the NC boys”) at their hotel, the Rouge.
Though we tried to act normal, I think we were both [...]

Now that was one hell of a great vacation.
I have an awful headache (and no, I’m not still hungover… I don’t think), so more tomorrow.

Patrick and I are leaving today for Washington, D.C. We’ll be back in a week.
Though Washington is far from my favorite city (admittedly, I’ve only visited once before) and I’m not in much of a travel mood anymore, I’m still excited because this trip is going to be twice the fun.
We’re going to visit my [...]

I had no idea so much of my daily routine involved a dog.
After nearly 15 years of doing things a certain way, it was quite an adjustment today to not feed someone besides me, to not give someone her morning pills, to not bother closing the gate after I pulled my car out, to not [...]
