When I was a young 16-year-old, my whole family went on a vacation to Las Vegas. It is weird to think back on the fact that there is nothing to do when you're that young. I spent most of my time seeing how slowly I could walk through the gaming floor before the security would tell me to leave. We were all there to celebrate my grandparent's 40th wedding anniversary. I walked with my grandad around the Forum Shops at Cesar's Palace. They had just opened, and it was busy, so we went into the front

Things I’ve heard.
I often get asked why I write so personally. I hope to address these questions and rumors in this blog. I don't have a lot of new things to share, but maybe I can add some context to things I have shared over the past two years. So many have been encouraging, and I appreciate that kindness in a world that seems hellbent on being cruel. I hope that seeing things through my eyes will show those who throw stones that they can put them down and see people for who they indeed are. This is my resp
Was it Christmas?
Was it Christmas?
After my mom died in March, I knew that this year and this year's holidays would be very different. I had anticipated the change and suggested to my sister that we go out of town for Christmas this year. I had two motivations for this request. One, I didn't want us moping around and sad because mom was not there. Two, I wanted to start new traditions that would allow us to heal more fully from the loss of our mom. My sister is an extraordinaire vacation planner, so she started researching t

I always get reflective around my birthday. My 42 orbit around the sun was marked with excruciatingly sad lows and exuberantly incredible highs. If I had known that last year was the last birthday my mom would be with me, I know I would have savored that time even more. If I had known last year that I would be sitting here in love with an incredible man, I wouldn't have believed it. But that's just the way life goes, high highs and low lows. I will say this, the lowest lows sure make the hi

Shortly after coming out, I realized I needed to meet gay people. Unfortunately, that was during 2020, so we were locked up in our houses for the 9+ months. Luckily, like everything else during this covid debacle, technology saved allowed me to meet folks while maintaining social distance virtually. I entered the virtual dating/chatting world. Also, there are not a lot of safe spaces for queer people, so technology is helpful there too. It's a double-edged sword, for sure. First, many of th

Coming Out Twice
Coming Out Twice
Whenever you're around queer folks, the topic of your coming out seems to come up constantly, and then everyone in the group goes around and shares their coming out story. It builds comradery and trust. When you know how people were during their most vulnerable state, gives you a good indication of what they are like and why they have the perspective they do. For me, I always start by saying, "Since I am a little extra, I actually have two coming out stories." If I am around people that don'
