“Orange Is The New Black” was my introduction to Laverne Cox. Sure, I love a good sleepover plot line, but not when it’s in a women’s prison, after a few seasons I lost interest. However, my interest in Laverne grew as I saw her doing press and speaking out about trans rights. The trans community…
I’m not a murder mystery sort of gay and don’t like working hard when it comes to my entertainment, please don’t make me figure out who did it. If I’m thinking that hard, I better be getting paid. Hell, even at my job, I only pretend to think that hard. However, “The Disaster Gay Detective…
Light Bird first hit my radar thanks to a Kickstarter campaign to get her new album, See Her, made. That’s my favorite site to discover indie artists and help get their music out into the world…unfortunately, right now it’s a transphobic world. In my gay opinion, the best way to fight this hatred is by…
Wednesday Eve Plumb came to the First Congregational Church in Madison, Connecticut thanks to my favorite indie bookstore, RJ Julia Booksellers, to sign and discuss her autobiography “Happiness Included.” How could I not want to go see “The Brady Bunch’s” Jan Brady speak in person. You know Eve must be a big deal to get…
Last month my partner and I went to the Reggatabar Jazz Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts to see Lenka in concert. I’ve seen her a bunch and her shows are always perfection. Her set-list spanned her career with a few new songs in the mix. After the show, she met fans at the merch table. When…

A few months back I bid in the Lit For Queer Liberation online auction, benefitting the important work of the Queer Liberation Network who “provide essential financial support, resources, and advocacy to queer and trans individuals facing economic hardship and lacking support systems.” I discovered the auction because one of my favorite authors, Chip Pons, donated…
My sister and I try to vacation together at least once a year and last week was another Barb & Dave’s Excellent Adventure. Dude, load up the senior bus for a four days / three nights trip to Ocean City, Maryland with Friendship Tours. After a nine-hours, four pick-up locations, a few “comfort stops” and…
I’ve been a Wild Fire fan for a while. I love this duo because of how indie they are. Doing crowdfunding to get their music out there, allowing fans to pre-purchase albums and get some cool perks like signed CD’s, stage worn clothing or a producer title. For fans like me, who like to support…
The thing with being a Tori Amos fan is you know with each album comes a new concept. Instead of pretending like I can gaysplain the story behind Tori’s newest album, In Times Of Dragons, best to let Tori explain it, in only the way Tori can. Tori’s concepts and explanations are uniquely her own,…
