I’m Realizing How Much I’ve Failed Some Friends

By Gays for Jesus Editor

Thinking of you. It’s 11pm’ish and I’m running on 4 hours of sleep. And for some reason, right now is when I’m realizing how much I’ve failed some of you friends… especially my LGBTQ friends and friends of color. From all the deplorableness associated with Trump and the hatefulness he’s encouraged to the recent nastiness […]

I Don’t Care About the Emperor

By Connor

Recently, art installations bearing the name “The Emperor Has No Balls” appeared overnight in various American cities. They depict Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, nude.

A Love Letter to Omar Mateen

Orlando: We Are Still Here

By Jenevieve Ting

Bundles of Sticks: A Modern Gay Man’s Commentary on Larry Kramer’s ‘Faggots’

By Connor

In 1978, Larry Kramer published ‘Faggots,’ which was to become a seminal work in the canon of gay literature. It portrayed gay society (most specifically, its sexual side) in a post-Stonewall, pre-HIV/AIDS New York, sparing no detail: the pages overflow with drugs, condomless copulation and fornication of every style, direction, and orifice, and utter diversions from the standard American … [Read More...]

Out in the Workplace

By Gays for Jesus Editor

Shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that same-­sex is a constitutionally protected right, several actions by the federal government placed LGBT discrimination in the workplace on the fast track. … [Read More...]

Poetically Gay

Poetically Gay

By Leanne

I never actually came out. The first time I told my mother I was gay, I didn’t think of it as some big reveal, I honestly thought I was just informing her of something. I have a cold; we’re out of milk; I’m in love with a girl. Though I was only fourteen, I can’t pin this grave underestimation on stupidity. I was a really smart kid and I had the grades to prove it, but despite knowing the official … [Read More...]
