The Shoulder Check Problem

January 3, 2021January 4, 2021 / 'Nathan Burgoine / 3 Comments

A couple of days ago, there was a discussion that sort of flashed past my timeline. An author of gay romance who is also a gay man was expressing the frustration over a sentiment in an m/m group that was posted—“women write the best m/m”—and how unwelcoming it can feel to gay men writing gay … Continue reading The Shoulder Check Problem

Just Another Baseball Game

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.

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…)
