Where the Hope Comes From

June 2, 2021 / 'Nathan Burgoine / 2 Comments

Every time Pride Month rolls around, I find myself thinking about—long-time readers, prepare to be unsurprised—the whole non-inheritability of queer culture thing all over again. The sheer volume of "I don't even know what I don't know" that comes to most queerlings when they realize they're different, but by virtue of the people around them, … Continue reading Where the Hope Comes From

The Shoulder Check Problem

January 3, 2021June 18, 2022 / 'Nathan Burgoine / 34 Comments

Like a lot of my blog posts here, this one was sparked at a specific time over a specific conversation, but over the years I’ve seen this particular topic come up again and again like waves on a shore, so I’ll often point back to it, rather than hashing out the same things I’ve already … Continue reading The Shoulder Check Problem

Just Another Baseball Game

August 20, 2020August 20, 2020 / 'Nathan Burgoine / 4 Comments

By now, you've likely heard about Thom Brennaman's "accident." He said something homophobic on a hot mic. It went on the air at a baseball game. And, happily, there were consequences for him. He's been suspended, is my understanding. And the Reds put out an almost-decent apology, even. I say "almost decent" because if they'd … Continue reading Just Another Baseball Game

Both the Lammies and the RITAs have announced their finalist lists for the year. Now, before anything else, I want to make sure I begin with a simple declarative here: there are some really great things that are happening on both lists. And there's some buts. I don't know how coherent I'm going to be … Continue reading Judging for Yourself

Not All Catholics (or Christians, or…)

February 1, 2019February 1, 2019 / 'Nathan Burgoine / Leave a comment

Recently, I shared a post on my Facebook about a Denver Archbishop preaching hate in the form of conversion therapy (which is widely debunked and incredibly harmful, just to make that clear). I dismissed him with a series of invectives, and then edited the post after someone asked why I'd share the post in the … Continue reading Not All Catholics (or Christians, or…)

#PrideMonth — Family Values

June 8, 2018June 8, 2018 / 'Nathan Burgoine / 5 Comments

I live in a bubble. More specifically, I live in a queer, lower-case-L liberal bubble. I often hear people refer to living in a bubble as a bad thing, and I do understand why. The bubble gives you a skewed view of what you think most people think. Talking about queer rights in my bubble doesn't … Continue reading #PrideMonth — Family Values
