Rants of a Passionate Bear

Over the last three weeks I have embarked on a new volunteer project, assisting The Whitman-Walker Clinic in D.C. with the development of LGBTQ-focused resources on Intimate Partner Violence.

After several weeks of reflection, I recently decided to refrain from Leather circuit events, except for one, and to focus my kink associations and play with more thought during the coming year. WHAT???!!! Miss IML???!!! Um, yeah!

Not bad for a guy who had two dozen brain surgeries, spent six months getting control of his body back, a couple years that followed trying to self-destruct, and nearly a decade coping with HIV after being infected over a decade already. While I treasure this little victory for fellow ... read more

"Lifestyle" is Number One on my list of oppressive terms that I wish to disappear from the Queer lexicon, "Committed relationship" is pulling up a close second. We let the media talk about heterosexual married couples repeatedly without using this phrase, but we allow them -- and then parrot them -- in having to add it to the mention of any same-sex partnership.
