The Normal Heart: AIDS/COVID/Resilience

June 5, 2020 By Catherine Roland

On May 27, the world lost a giant in the history of the LGBTQ community, Larry Kramer, noted author, playwright, producer, public health advocate, LGBTQ rights activist, and so much more. Those who do not know his story will hopefully learn about him through the multitude of articles and documentaries that will certainly show up in the near future. In order to gain a sense of … [Read more...] about The Normal Heart: AIDS/COVID/Resilience

Filthy Whore SEEKS Hopeless Romantic

June 4, 2020 By Ryan Rockford

As with any relationship, there are so many questions that two men have to answer and negotiate in a romance’s fledgling stage; it can make for a rocky start for anyone who isn’t prepared for the doors of communication to be blown open. Considering the times we live in, one of the questions that many find uncomfortable (including myself) is: Will your new relationship be “open” … [Read more...] about Filthy Whore SEEKS Hopeless Romantic

Adopting Pets for the Wrong Reasons

May 25, 2020 By Catherine Roland

We love our pets. Some of us are obsessed with our “children,” the cats, dogs, and other non-human creatures at home. During this COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine, the desire for a kitten or puppy has blossomed into a kind of obsession on a national level. A number of news reports have told us that people who have never had a pet, now seem desperate to adopt one. But why … [Read more...] about Adopting Pets for the Wrong Reasons

OK, So We’re Open: Phase I Louisiana

May 22, 2020 By Catherine Roland

I asked someone the other day if he was looking forward to our area “opening up” during Phase One, and if he’d considered what it may mean for him on a personal level. “Well, nothing is happening now,” he responded, “might as well see some life and go down to the Quarter. But I’m kind of really afraid, so I’m not sure.”  I think many people feel similarly. They’re ready … [Read more...] about OK, So We’re Open: Phase I Louisiana

Letter to the Editor: What Valentine’s Day Means

February 11, 2020 By Community Contributor

A Letter to the Editor from John East Like many gay men, I find the traditional holiday season somewhat cold. Thanksgiving is a landmine of politics, in-laws, and the proverbial drunk uncle. Christmas is really for families with kids. My partner and I, even in liberal circles, are not totally accepted during these family-focused receptions. Even demonstrations of acceptance … [Read more...] about Letter to the Editor: What Valentine’s Day Means

A Fistful of Wishes, Part 1

January 14, 2020 By Dorian-gray Alexander

Whether the new decade begins Jan 1, 2020 and ends Dec 31, 2029 or starts Jan 1, 2021 and finishes Dec 31, 2030, one thing is certain: it’s been nearly forty years of the HIV/AIDS era, which began in 1981. While we cannot predict what it brings, or decide how the decade is determined, we can wish for a bright future. Here’s part one of twenty things you might want to get … [Read more...] about A Fistful of Wishes, Part 1

Navigating a World, Social, and Spiritual Landscape

January 14, 2020 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

It’s 2020 and the Saints are NOT going to the Super Bowl. It is now just past the Feast of the Epiphany and Mardi Gras is upon us. The world, as our news reports show us, seems to be getting more polarized and divided. The social discourse is virulent and getting more so. Apart from the various wars and conflicts we are involved in, whether geopolitical or economic, we also … [Read more...] about Navigating a World, Social, and Spiritual Landscape
