    There's a light - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I let out a shocked gasp the other day as I read the news of Curry’s passing. It isn’t so much out of surprise — we all know that Curry has had a number of health complications over the last few years, including a stroke more than a decade ago. No, it was the shock of knowing a person who had, somehow, ended up being such a part of my history was now gone. Curry has a long and storied career. A star of stage and screen, as well as a talented voice actor. He was King Arthur in “Spamalot” and Wolf

    Excerpt · English

    Now, I have to admit, I’m not the biggest sports follower, but this summer has been an interesting one for WNBA fans, particularly for those who follow the Indiana Fever. Apparently feeling slighted with all the attention on her teammate, Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said, during an interview with ESPN recorded in March and released in July, that she wants “to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” S

    There are some people I try to avoid writing about. It’s not that I may not wish to. It’s just that I often feel that doing so gives them more attention than I should, and attention is what they crave.

    Creep - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Anti-trans bigots like to imagine themselves as a literal white knight, fighting for the purity and innocence of women and girls. Every argument against transgender rights seems to stem from this one thing. The recent Supreme Court decisions in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ that stripped both Title IX rights and the Equal Protection Clause from transgender athletes? This comes out the idea that trans women are somehow pretending to be men to steal wins from women. The facts don’t bear

    SCOTUS Repeating - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I recently watched a brilliant, five-hour documentary by Matt Baume on YouTube, detailing the fight for marriage equality from the era of King James until today. Of course, most of the focus covers parts of the battle that Baume had a hand in, from California’s Proposition 22 — and later Proposition 8 — to Obergefell v. Hodges.
