John recalls one of the best Christmases he ever had.

My favorite anime had a gay moment!

Love in the pre-computer age

It’s Tuesday afternoon on a beautiful September day and I’m sitting alone in St. Thomas Church on 5^th Avenue in New York City, crying that I can't have an orgasm. I’m still crying when I hear it. Random staccato notes on the pipe organ. I laugh, imagining a cat has broken into the organ room and is walking haphazardly across the keys. This isn’t how I expected my day to go, but here we are.

The hit show from years ago has some rare moments of authentic gay representation!

Korra may live in a fictional world, but her presence in ours makes kids know that their skin color, culture, and sexuality only add to their badassery. And being that Fortnite skews younger, it's a great introduction to one of the coolest characters on TV who happens to be bi.

Just know Love Lies Bleeding is an apt title, with emphasis on the bleeding part! We are capable of giving so much heart and hurt, which Stewart's character (Lou) represents so well. Estranged from her mobster dad and plagued by a toxic past, Lou is just looking for the light. And shiny motivated bodybuilder Jackie is the perfect stepping stone for Lou to grow past her own self-hatred.

 Like the parent of any two-year-old, the word "no" is pretty common vernacular in our home.  "No, don't touch that."  "No, don't climb to the top of the bookshelf."  "No, don't stick your finger in the electrical outlet."  "No, don't pull the dog's tail."  "No! Stop hitting your sister."  "No! Don't bite."  You get the idea.  Of course, we need to correct these behaviors to save our two-year-olds from the behaviors that would likely result in an emergency room visit if not for interceding.  The question is, how do we counter-balance the impact of this negative reinforcement?  In our family, we are making intentional shifts in our language to balance the negative reinforcements with positive, affirming messages.

Nobody f*cking MOVE! Something new and gay has hit the Avatar universe. 

Like other parents, my parenthood is filled with an equal share of "heart swell" moments and times that test your emotional resolve.  But, are there different expectations of gay parents?  Are gay parents held to higher standards?
