Beginning of last volume of my 40’s I guess. It’s Saturday.
So, since Gay Pride Parade in San Fransisco is June 27, from now until my birthday on June 20th will be a study of my first 50 years and of gaydom at large!
Age and gay: Elephants in the living room.
“Poets, artists, writers, rebels, and thinkers. “Fringe” people. From the book “Gay Money” page 117.
“Their councils are largely closed to us.”
“…if that means pushing us aside, tossing us out, or running us over if we get in their way.” Gay Money page 123.
“Looking back, we now understand why we had to abandon that which seemed to define our life before. In many ways that life has ended…”. Gay Money. p. 106
Jim and I sit in the den and watch “Next Food Network Star!”
A commercial.
A man has a big mansion. A fancy car. A sining group entertains him
15 minutes of fame.
Next scene: The house is in foreclosure. The car is being towed away.
Jim said to me “It’s you! Ha ha. “Oh, I’m sorry.”
(After being fired from the Public Defender’s office in 1997, I lost my house to foreclosure and had to declare bankruptcy.)
Ellen Kushner’s National Public Radio’s show “Sound and Spirit is on now.
It’s theme is marriage.
“Marriage is full integration into human society, the wedding results in a social unit. The union is recognized.
My margin note to above dated 6/19/2006: (Regarding my relationship with Jim:) “ Our wedding is imagined. As if it happened and is vaguely forgotten."

me and my friends love to label our animals (either with genuine vibes-based assumptions, or as jokes) and I wonder how normal this practice is

The RuPaulication of being gay. The TikTokification of being gay. Both are the same, in a way that it also feels like capitalism taking over, where you've to buy certain accessories, like certain music, watch certain shows, dress a certain way to be Gay EnoughTM, and if you do not, then you're absolutely out of the loop and are not considered gay.
There's a lot I could say about it, especially about how it's very fucking American above all and based around English second of all, and third of all, I just can't stand a lot of pop music and I'm goddamn tired of every Cis Gay Over 30 either gasping at me for not listening to Cher/Beyonce/Insert Pop Artist or Cis Gay Under 30 gasping at me for not listening to Taylor fucking Jet Fuel Swift.
I'm so tired of "gay icons" being cis women that make music videos with huge rainbows and says performative shit that has Feminism 101 written all over it. I hate that being gay is an AestheticTM now. I hate that every queer has to have a common fucking vocabulary that's native only to English-speaking, online-dwelling, TikTok-addict people. It's so infuriating to be giggled at by people because you just don't fucking care about wearing certain clothes that THEY consider gay enough.
Seriously, I fucking hate it.

So let me get this straight, in April 2024 this happened,
yuri !!! on ice: ice adolescence, movie got cancelled buy ungrateful Mappa studio, who would be dead if not for the gays and girlies money.
Shinichi aka Conan and the magic thief Kaito are cousins, so they can't kiss or hold hands despite years and years of hints and sniffing each other and looking in the eyes.
Supernatural insider revealed they queer coded Dean and Castiel relationship from the begging to attract the gays and girlies, but it got too real so they even had to cool them down, and we still got queer bating somehow.
People are evil.
