Oh me. Oh my! Maybe it’s just me, but lately I just can’t shake the feeling that things need to be tossed up around town. The last couple weeks have left me underwhelmed, that isn’t to say that nothing has taken place, but come on faggots, this is San Francisco! Let’s add some pepper, please. Remind me that my Zyrtec cloud is, in fact, just allergies. Spring is springing! Keep the good, the bad, and the gaudy strutting their shit. More

It’s a widely held belief that coming out is absolutely necessary to self acceptance. But to tell you the truth, that’s a misconception. Life is complicated by so many things (family, work, religion just to name a few) that being “out” no longer means only one thing. There are many levels to being out and likewise, many facets to being gay. For example you can be out to your friends but remain “in” for the sake of work or family. More

Happy VD fags, sponsored once again by Magnet. It’s been hectic since last we spoke. As every year, when the trees start to flower the tides tend to shift. That fugacious burst of spring, sated with fresh flowers and chilled sunrays, was bound to be washed out by the last harsh storms of San Francisco winter. But while we basqued, shit was hitting fans. All over the city, the frenzy of activity combined with overwhelming desires to get out and about made for some straight-up crazy fags. More

Having a one night stand is kinda like pulling off a band-aid. You know, like that initial hesitation you feel before diving headlong into something, and then realizing afterwards that it wasn’t really anything to worry about to begin with. A quick and almost painless relief from some long crippling love affliction. But hey, if they’re so great, why are one night stands given such a bad rap? More

There is a great divide that has always torn apart our community. It’s a difference whose roots reside at the very heart of how we define ourselves. Which side you most connect with has the power to potentially glorify your future or doom you to banality. It involves the tireless exchange between the "haves" and the “have-nots”, where the struggle for power lies at the center of the question: top or bottom? More

The weather may be wet, but don’t you fags fret! It is high time for you to hit Marc by Marc Jacobs and get those fancy rain boots that everyone has been wearing lately, cause girl, you have some places to go! I have been sniffing out some pretty hot shit around town these nasty winter days. If Raisin Bran had this many scoops, Kellogg would be bankrupt by now! More

Gay men and weddings. An overly emotional mixture of white lace, floral arrangements, multi-tiered cakes and boozed up straight men in black tuxedos. Save for the inexplicable pairing of sequins and ice skates, I can’t for the life of me think of a match more made in tear-jerking, handkerchief blowing heaven. Sadly though, the closest we’re going to get to ever walking down the aisle is by the sides of our straight friends...and even that’s if we’re lucky. More

Paper or plastic? Boxers or briefs? Gay or straight? Since when has life ever been a one or the other deal? There are a lot of us who, although gay, don’t live the typically “gay” lifestyle. You know, that imagined life of hard partying, hard drugs and even harder sex. We are rather middle of the road when it comes to being neither fully in nor out, neither extrovert nor introvert. But does being MOTR mean we don’t have the same desires? And does it make those desires, or us, seem any less gay? More

Hey there! I don't know if you recognize me, but I have had my eye on you. Did I serve you drinks at Daddy's, or maybe a coffee at the Bearbucks? Oh, that's right, I saw you on the MUNI. No wait, you were the one tanning on the manshelf at Dolores Park. Like a sentinel, I set my sights on you and all the filthy little secrets you are trying so desperately to hide. The time you went to the bar with Stephen but left with Mark, I was watching. Whether behind my Ray-Bans or from the dark corners of the bars I am always there, and I’ve got my sights set on you.

We live in times of relative enlightenment, when “girl power” is less slogan and more mantra and when we might soon have a “Madame President". To a certain extent popular culture and politics have heightened our senses to the positivity of feminism and self empowerment. But in a community like ours, where gender assignments are shaky at best, there lurks a question in the shadows of this “girls can do it better” awareness: what does equalization between the sexes mean for gays?
