Hottest in the Office
Dear Rafi, You’re very distracting to work around. For the first second I saw you the other day, I thought you were some type of executive. It took a moment to realize no, you were just the new guy, dressed up for the job he wants. Be still, my heart.

The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.

Love and Marriage with Pride
Several years ago, my good friend asked me to write an affidavit or a formal letter about our long-term friendship and my knowledge and observation of his relationship with his partner. Why, you would ask? It had nothing to do with the fact that it was a same-sex marriage, which was already legal at the time. It had everything to do with my friend's partner being an immigrant. He had arrived in the US on a fiance visa which was later converted to a conditional green card. A couple of years later, they were petitioning to change the conditional green card to a non-conditional one, which would give my friend's partner a path to citizenship.

The Letter My Father Never Sent
THE SECRET HE KEPT FOR FIFTY YEARS 🤐 My father Robert lived seventy-two years as a straight married man, a retired electrician with four children and eleven grandchildren and a reputation in our small Pennsylvania town as a dependable, traditional, no-nonsense guy who went to church on Sundays and coached Little League and voted Republican and embodied every characteristic associated with conventional American masculinity, and none of us, not his children, not his friends, not even my mother who was married to him for forty-seven years before she died, knew that our father had been hiding a fundamental truth about himself for his entire adult life, a truth that he revealed to us six months after my mother's funeral in a letter he had written decades earlier but had never intended to send, a letter that began "I have been lying to everyone I love for fifty years and I cannot die with this lie still inside me" 💔

So, when Did You First Realise You Were Gay?
“So, when did you first realise you were gay?” It’s the inevitable question that really shouldn’t be inevitable anymore. The woman asking this time is sincere. It’s just her way of getting to know me — the man she’s been sat next to at a dinner party.

The Life I Thought I'd Have
Would my life be better if I hadn't dropped out of high school? If I hadn't been put on SSRIs and Zyprexa as a teenager? If I had worked steadily to develop a craft--any craft--instead of drifting through infatuations, anger, distractions, and half-formed ambitions?

Alive
The shocking true story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and the moral horror that saved sixteen lives The crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 into the Andes Mountains on October 13, 1972, and the subsequent seventy-two-day survival ordeal of the passengers would become one of the most controversial and morally complex survival stories ever recorded, forcing sixteen young men to make the unthinkable decision to consume the flesh of their dead friends and teammates in order to stay alive in one of the most hostile environments on Earth, and the psychological and ethical dimensions of their choice continue to provoke debate and reflection more than fifty years after their rescue shocked the world. The flight was carrying forty-five people including nineteen members of the Old Christians Club rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, along with their friends and family members, traveling to Chile for a tournament, and the passengers were young, healthy, optimistic people with their whole lives ahead of them, many of them students from wealthy families who had never experienced real hardship and who could not have imagined that their routine flight would turn into a nightmare of freezing temperatures, starvation, and impossible moral choices that would haunt them forever.
