Be Butch.
It’s funny how I fit into the straight parenting world. I’m not comfy with “the moms” but it’s not like I feel totally in sync with “the dads.” Again, I cannot help but ponder on the differences, albeit slight, in being butch. Take my son’s t-ball practice. I took him to his first one and … Read more
Attention all butches and straight guys! This is a public service announcement for Valentine’s Day. What’s that, you say? It’s over two weeks away? More than 14 days? No need to worry about that yet.
