Be Butch.
I am very excited to be able to launch an exclusive here at ButchOnTap. Sophia B, who I have written about before (here and here), is releasing her newest video for the song, “We Are Listening Venezuela” today. Right here. The London based singer and songwriter released her first ever Spanish song “We Are Listening … Read more
Today, I was going through a bunch of new music. One of the cool benefits of being a DJ is that I get access to some of the industry music releases. Because I have been sick, I had a lot of downloads to plow through. This bunch includes quite a few songs with lyrics bleeped … Read more
I got called to secondary inspection on my travels through San Jose security today. Hooray! The agent wanted to look at a credit-card sized multi tool I have in my wallet. It’s about 2×3 inches. It’s metal. A screw driver, bottle opener, wrench, you get the idea. It was a Christmas present from my wife. … Read more
After the election, everything stopped for me. Creatively anyway. Life went on. Kids still needed love, dog needed walked, friends needed encouragement, cars needed washing. You get the idea. But all of my creativity died. Like in an instant. In the few hours that I watched the election go from promising and the start of … Read more

The benches were … Read more
Hi BOTs. A few random thoughts for you as I sit in my seat on the plane. 1. Couldn’t find a parking spot this morning. Being late and having to park closer to the airport isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Also, no one is leaving the airport at 6:30 am. 2. Been called … Read more

As such, no state may restrict a gay or lesbian person’s right to get married. Well, despite the obvious … Read more
What does it mean to be one of the most powerful Butches in America? Does it mean that women won’t freak out when I walk in the correct restroom? Does it mean that people at restaurants, coffee shops, drug stores, service counters, auto shops, and on planes will stop calling me “Sir”?
On the BOT Facebook page, we’ve been having a very sincere discussion about the unintentionally prejudiced and hurtful things whites and Otherthan’s say. One reader posted the following comment and I answered as below. I share this because I know this reader is not alone. As an ally, it is very important to allow whites … Read more
