David Reimer’s Life and Death
For some reason, when I read As Nature Made Him a few months ago, I didn’t look up David Reimer on Wikipedia or anywhere else. If I had, I would have found out that he committed suicide in 2004. I got the news from an anti-circumcision website, where he was reported as a “long-delayed death … Continue reading
Rainbow Scarf
Rainbow Scarf, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. Normally I post every day, I’ve been doing so since about April 2004 with only a couple of missed days. I missed yesterday because I was working on this scarf for my wife. I completed the 10-foot scarf a couple of weeks ago, and I had promised her one … Continue reading
Scarf Crochet
I’m crocheting again, making this vertical stripe scarf in a deliberately bright gay rainbow pattern. I wasn’t able to find any decent rainbow scarves that I liked, so I went to the store and bought yarn to make my own. (I have a few half-balls of primary colors, but I wanted to get a good … Continue reading
Fun on Fifth Avenue
The highlight so far has been giving my wife a quick peck on the lips outside a Japanese bakery, and having a passing preteen boy turn around and gape at us. Bet he wasn’t expecting lesbians on Fifth Avenue!
Rings and Things
Somebody asked the other day about “civil union rings” on the GLBT board I moderate. I directed her to gay-owned Jewelry by Ponce and gay-themed Love and Pride, but those are sources for specific types of jewelry. Gay people don’t have to get gay jewelry, of course – you can get any kind of gold … Continue reading
Cruising with the Tribe
This is kind of a long post, so feel free to skip over it. I wanted to share an opinion I just posted, so there are quotes from others to put it into context. The thread is called Are gay men welcomed on Olivia Cruises? The answer from Olivia is no, but there’s been a … Continue reading
Pride Pictures
Well damn. Metro Weekly’s pictures from Pride weekend – the dyke march, festival, and the parade (which I didn’t attend) – are all online. And in the nearly 235 photographs from events I attended, I didn’t show up once! If I hadn’t specifically had my picture taken with preppyperv and boiswillbebois I wouldn’t have expected … Continue reading
A Day at Pride
Well, they did have interpreters at Pride. It was a paying gig and everything…not sure how I can get in on that for next year, but from what I saw today I think there could be a slot for me. I arranged with them in the morning that I would interpret for Amy and Freddy, … Continue reading
Pride Saturday
I hadn’t been to any Pride events since 2000, but yesterday I went! I had been asked to interpret for the DC Dyke March, and I was happy to do so. (They weren’t paying me anything, so I asked for one of the “MARSHAL” t-shirts other volunteers were given.) I had thought the interpreting would … Continue reading
Before I’m Gone
My friend Cricket has a website for a meme/project she started: it’s called Before I’m Gone. I am going to send in this list of ten things I’d like to do before I die. My list is focused on things that are actually achievable now rather than requiring new technology to be developed or for … Continue reading
