Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes. However, not one boy sent me naked pictures of himself, unlike years previous. What’s with that? My influence must be slipping. Guess I should make an effort to post more frequently.
Patrick and I had a nice Thanksgiving and enjoyed a few days off work. For the holiday itself, [...]
The following is part of a series I’m writing for the Utah AIDS Foundation’s 20th anniversary in 2005.
Becky Moss has been at the forefront of the war against AIDS since the very beginning. A prominent lesbian activist since she began hosting KRCL-FM’s Concerning Gays and Lesbians in 1979, by December 1985 Becky had lost more [...]
