By Jack Last night Mz. Zling was giving me updates from the National Weather Service’s Special Weather Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook. I pretended to be disinterested in the possibility of another 12 inches of snow but secretly I was counting my cigarettes and my remaining stash of Thin Mints. So this morning maybe we …Continue reading Toys or Tools? By Jack I was a Girl Scout. I was a Girl Scout and I knew that I had proof. Somewhere in the boxes filled with the paper debris of my past was a photo, a photo of me dressed in my uniform marching in the Bridgewater Memorial Day Parade. But my archeological digging was futile. …Continue reading Blame it on the Cookies By Jack Last week Governor Christie of New Jersey vetoed a bill which would have legalized same sex marriage. Though the bill had been passed by the New Jersey Senate and Assembly, whose elected members represent the people, Christie said that “…an issue of this magnitude and importance, which requires a constitutional amendment, should be …Continue reading You Don’t Get to Vote on My Rights By Jack “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” That’s what Robert Frost wrote in his poem The Death of The Hired Man. But for many queer youth, that is poetic mythology.

For Mz. …Continue reading Where Were You? By Jack Yesterday the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that California’s Proposition 8 “works a meaningful harm to gays and lesbians” by denying their right to civil marriage in violation of the 14th Amendment. Proposition 8 banned same-sex marriages in 2008. This narrow victory means that queers in California can get married because …Continue reading Litter Box Philosophy By Jack (Mz. Zling’s codependent warning: The following content may not be suitable for the young and the innocent.) That is one those iconic jokes that budding comics beginning from about age three love to tell. They fall to the floor laughing when they deliver the punch line. Of course I prefer this joke: How …Continue reading Why Did the Chickens Cross the Road? by Mz. Zling I don’t know what to say. After the PR disaster resulting from their intent to de-fund Planned Parenthood, we now learn that the Komen Foundation, in their attempt to raise money by any means, is now partnering with Discount Gun Sales, who is selling a pink handgun and contributing a portion of …Continue reading Update on Komen Foundation: You’ve Got to Be Kidding |
