stories over stuff
On July 2nd my wife and I will be celebrating our sixth anniversary. Seeing as I’ve only been blogging on QLF for two years, I guess I’ve never spoken about our meeting, our engagement or our wedding. I don’t talk about our relationship much, it’s not really different from anyone else’s relationship. We drink a…
GLAAD just posted this video to Facebook regarding LGBTQ representation in film. While Hollywood is getting better at making movies featuring bisexual characters it isn’t enough. There are two major films with Bisexual main characters in them. Dead Pool* and Wonder Woman. In both cases, the only way to know these characters are bisexual is…
I don’t actually watch many videos. I’m a writer and reader. Television even is mainly a background thing for me now. There are some channels I watch and subscribe too. I will be doing another post of LGBTQIA blogs I read and sites to visit but I decided on YouTubers this week because, well I…

I found Lady Chatterley’s Lover very boring, but I know the feeling. Last month marked thirty years since Section 28 of the 1988 Local Government…
Not all my readers are queer. I get that. Not all my writing is queer (well, to be fair, it is) but it’s totally passing. And for the next month (year and, well, forever) more and more labels and acronyms are going to be cropping up. Especially as we celebrate pride every damn month around…
I had always kind of known that I was different, but I never really knew how. In high school, I wasn’t ever really exposed to queer topics, and I only ever knew what gay was. We had a gay-straight alliance at school, but I couldn’t risk people finding out that I didn’t know who I…
All opinions are my own and do not represent anyone else. Not even the cats.
