Following the renaming of branded products like Coon Cheese and Red Skins, some radical gay activist launched a petition that wasn’t really making waves at all. In fact, it still isn’t. But now thanks to a media blitz, the fate of the Golden Gaytime is shaky. And I think it’s all utterly stupid.

I could easily understand renaming Red Skins and Coon Cheese since those names are derogatory. But Gaytimes? In my lexical knowledge of gay, it’s always been a positive word. And for the gay community, it’s added excitement. “I’m having a Golden Gaytime!” we say. A slight wink…

When it comes to the media representation of gay people, we seem to prefer the non-limp wristed type. Whether it’s the normal everyday gay who’s not a screaming queen or the “straight-acting” gay. But we seem to forget that some gay people are actually gay. Like really girly and feminine. Are we just going to ignore this every time a James Corden jumps on-screen to portray a flamboyant gay?

Don’t get me wrong, that wasn’t James’ best performance, but do we really need to brand him as a homophobe for his supposedly stereotypical portrayal?

Indeed, the biggest issue here is…

With all the talk about gendered pronouns nowadays, you’d be forgiven for thinking that vaginas and penises are going out of fashion. But, when a global pandemic fails to dampen our sexual appetites, I really don’t think that is the case. As we all know, having a penis or vagina really helps with climaxing.

And yet, we still get the likes of J. K. Rowling spreading their tripe. They fear that trans and non-binary folk are screwing it up for the rest of us. But this is moronically untrue.

For one, we’ll always have penises and vaginas gracing the world.

A good quote is short, snappy, and straight to the point. It never waffles, it just delivers the punch with gusto. And, like every good sentence, they make you understand.

In essence, quotes are like friends. They are there when you need them, ready to offer their wisdom. They know how you feel, because the person who wrote that quote has been through it. They traversed those rocky relationships, plowed through challenging careers or dealt with internal battles. Depression, anxiety, self-doubt.

Quotes are epiphanies, bringing the truth to life. And the best ones are short. …

Picture a Friday night; I mean, it’s gotta be the same across the globe. You meet random friends, pick up temporary lovers and dance the night away. But this picture is not reality in Sydney, Australia.

Here’s our usual Friday night: you get dolled up, have a few pre-bevvies and head for the bus, only to realise that you have forgotten your mask. You could trek back home, but you decide to buy a disposable one at the local tobacconist instead. As you hop on the bus, slipping your mask on, you get a phone call, but you don’t answer…

It’s time to showcase those money makers, honey. Ripple them buns and get the boys gagging on your fine behind!

But first, you need a smashing hit, one that’s fly like apple pie and spicier than a drag queen’s tongue. And girl, have I got the goods for you…

Whenever you need a pick-me-up, throw on one of these tunes and waltz down your local thoroughfare. Revel in the confidence of a bona fide strut — cause girl, you deserve it!

Boys by Lizzo

The ultimate goal of a strut-worthy anthem is the BPM. It’s gotta be on point…

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret here: your mind is not an all-seeing god. It can produce misinformation quicker than a QAnon quack — and, if you’re not observant enough, you’ll believe it. So, sometimes you need to look at the matter before you make up your mind.

As a writer, one of the greatest pieces of misinformation I deal with is not being good enough. At times I stupidly believed it, only taking in the immediate issues. A blog post fails to get one view or a reader voices their disgust. Or, worst of all, I…

Apart from the rigmarole of coming out to every person you meet and answering ignorant questions, sometimes it is easier being gay. For one, we don’t have to deal with the patriarchy that still permeates modern society. Men know what men want, and women know what women want.

There’s no separation of the sexes.

Which, on some level, makes finding sex so much easier. I don’t have to worry about wasting money on a date when I can browse Grindr for a potential fuck. Just share some niceties and then get down to business. Are you top or bottom? What…
