GH Airs First “Gay Kiss” – And You Might Be Surprised

GH Lucas Gay Kiss

A week ago Friday, Lucas Jones made his highly anticipated return appearance on General Hospital. Within one episode, he was thrust in the frontburner storyline of his long-presumed dead biological father, Julian Jerome.

The Book I’ll Write About The Peduto Administration

Sue Kerr Bill Peduto

Write the blurb for the book jacket of the book you’d write, if only you had the time and inclination. The Rise of the Working Class Queer Poverty is a queer value as long as we tout the myth of ‘gay affluence’ as a selling point for marketing. Pittsburgh is at a crossroads – somewhere […]

Nice Is A Matter of Necessity

Tell us about the nicest thing you’ve ever done. Impossible. Two things come immediately to mind when I reread this prompt. First is the mantra to be a ‘nice girl’ which just makes me shudder. Second is the thought that we use “nice” as a command for our dogs to do something gently – like […]

Guest Blog Post by Precious and Coco (Kitty Cats): How To Be The Perfect Cat Person

Cat Perfection

Perfection? No, no no. Purrfection should be the goal. If you achieve purrfection, we will reward you by purring in your arms or on your lap. First, we want fed or we want access to food. If you don’t put the food dishes on the floor quickly enough in the morning, you get one warning […]

I’d Rather Remember My 39th Birthday

Do you still feel pressure of conform? If no, what age did it stop? Also, Write a post inspired by your sixteenth birthday. Oh, my dear question generator, you are obviously not part of a subculture or a subculture within a subculture. The “pressure to conform” to being straight is all around you. Open the newspaper […]
