May I introduce you...

[serene]

Remember when I told you that my friends and co-workers are fascinating people? Well, they are. I'd like to introduce you to one of the newest of my co-worker/friends, Danny Kodmur. He's got a standing invitation to any of my parties (typo: partners) that involves any cultural content at all (or, really, any of my parties), but check out his writing:

On solitude, isolation, and not settling for a life that's not right for him

On cities, the family closet, and how it's sometimes easier to handle being "the Disabled One" without reminding folks that one is also the Queer One

On his "Secret [Hetero] History"

At the bottom of the page are links to lots more of his articles.

[Edit: Yeesh, how could I miss this one, on food and fat, that ends with the following:

That's what I can try to do for myself, but what of my community? What if every gay establishment currently offering booze-saturated activities like beer busts or drinking contests started sponsoring food-related events as well? Bear Dim Sum Buffets, Leather Daddy Ice Cream Socials, and S & M Picnics sure sound like more fun for the teetotallers among us; such eating events would also serve as clear evidence that we as a community are not afraid of food—six-packs, plastic images and gym bodies be damned.

Let's eat! I wonder how we should start, with what, and with whom ...

I'd like to add my thumbs up!

I'd rather have my friends be fat than alcoholic, if it really were a choice between the two.
