Be Butch.
My wife and I are at a hotel getting ready this morning. We went to see my favorite comedian Trevor Noah last night. Like many people, I aways feel a bit playful at a hotel. I don’t know why. Maybe because you don’t have to make your bed? Maybe because you don’t know anyone around … Read more
Tonight, while my wife was packing, she asked me to fix her nice Swarovski crystal earrings for her. There was a moment after she asked me – before I said yes – where she doubted my abilities. At least that’s what I thought when she said, “I guess I can do it.” “What do you … Read more

As confirmation of her lifetime of success, Mariah will be honored by The Center … Read more
In honor of Sinclair Sexsmith’s new book, Sweet & Rough, I got the opportunity to talk with Sinclair. We also asked BOT fans to submit questions that they wanted me to ask Sinclair. The three that we choose to ask Sinclair will win their creators a copy of the book. I’ll go first (cause it’s … Read more
Hi BOTs! Guess what I did last week? I got to fly to Chicago to cover a big lesbian party called Back Lot Bash. As part of my press access, the organizers Christina Wiesmore and Amie Klujian were able to get me an interview with the one and only Lea DeLaria. I had so much … Read more
Fess up. No butch is 100% butch. We all lose butch points here or there. I have a Hello Kitty Visa card. Yes, that’s right. Hello Kitty. It’s pink and black and absolutely adorable. And totally un-butch. Or, is it? More often than not, the woman taking my card freaks out about how cute it … Read more
