It Gets Better for Quarterlifers Too!
I’ve been reading the It Gets Better book this week and it really struck a chord with me. If you aren’t familiar with the project, columnist Dan Savage started it after last years rash of publicized gay teen suicides. He wanted a way to reach out to those teenagers who were unable to see what their lives could be after they escaped the bullying and the homophobia of their middle and high schools. It began with him and his boyfriend in America, husband in Canada making a video about how much better their lives had gotten. After only a few ...
Irreplaceable: A Review of Color Me Obsessed
The other day I went to see Color Me Obsessed: A Film About The Replacements. What else can you say about The Replacements - a band that has been broken up for nearly two decades - that hasn't already been said? Apparently, not much. The entire length of this film is one big succession of fans (both famous and not) geeking out over the relative genius of each of members of the band and, of course, the madness that equaled and collective. Strangely, though, this proves to be more than enough. The tidbits of information that die-hard fans aren't already ...
South Park Raised Me!
South Park Raised Me By: Jayce Scott Okay I get it. I did not need and will not need the next two cinematic installments of James Cameron’s “Avatar” money machine to remind once more, that I am a horrible human being, a white male to boot, who baby rapes mother earth every day and is responsible for every evil which has every occurred. I get it. It just took a little longer for Orwell and “1984” to come about. But, I get it. The constant bombardment on the QL generations by all forms of corporate, social & government media marketing about how ...
I had a WikiLeak once…
I had a WikiLeak once… Seriously I did. But antibiotics cleared it right up. And thanks to my fifth senior year at twenty-three, with whom I thought was an innocent freshman gave me mono to boot. Ergo, the cliché slogans of “No glove – no love,” “She smokes – she pokes” or “Wrap the rascal” have more importance than ever for healthy quarter life sexuality. Whether straight, gay, lesbian, bi, curious, trans, furries, pre-op, monogamous, player and whatever they come up next during Queer Eskimo Awareness Week…we have all got to take ...
Tron Gone Wrong? Not Really.
Tron Gone Wrong? Not Really. Tron: Legacy Well it is not 1982. And Jeff Bridges is a lot older. Sort of. With the help of some serious CGI he is also back to form at a young 28 years old. Don’t ask. No one ever saw the original Tron in our generation. A good portion of you were not even born or if you were, no parent was taking your crying, diaper stench ass to the movies. Back then, they had unlicensed babysitters called the teenage girl next door who charged $1 an hour, use of ...

Happy Pride!
0Pride month always provides a bevy of news about progress (or lack there of) in the gay community. This pride month is no different. Tracy Morgan decided to go on a homophobic rant in one of his routines, leading the whistleblower of his show to come out to his family. New surveys show that a majority of the American population now support gay marriage.... [Read more]
The Razzies Just Make More Sense for this Jaded Q-Lifer
0The Razzies Just Make More Sense for this Jaded QL It’s award season. It’s Chinese New Year. And I am still also having trouble writing 2011 instead of 2010 on all documents.
