(I last week received this very moving letter.) Dear John, Sometimes I think that being able to see from the perspective of a mother what my daughter (who is now my son) went through before his admission of his true self shows why God is with us, no matter what. (more…) Read more
It’s perfectly okay with God if a person is gay or lesbian. Perfectly. If you think being gay is wrong, because you think the Bible says it’s wrong, learn more about those passages in the Bible. Because if you don’t, and you cling to your misinformed bigotry, then you’re purposefully, consciously, and destructively choosing lazy, hateful prejudice over simple truthful righteousness. And you’re better than that. I know you’re better than that. You know you’re better than that. God knows... Read more
Ha ha! Isn’t it funny to think that what I’d like to talk about more than anything else is me? Oh. Well, I thought it was. But fine. Be that way. But, seriously, that’s enough about you. Let’s talk about me again. So here’s a bit of le’ ketchup ala’ moi: Today I will be crazy busy finishing the editorial work on the e-book of mine for which this will be the cover: (more…) Read more

So this morning we have a story in the The Indianapolis Star about Republican state representative Phil Hinkle (above). Mr Hinkle is married with two children. He is a staunch, anti-gay, anti-Planned Parenthood, pro-“family values” Republican. Which, of course, can mean only one thing: he’s also a profoundly clueless and closeted gay man. (Kidding! No excuse. Sorry.) At least, he was closeted. But then, last Saturday night, Mr. Hinkle got horny. Really horny. So horny that he went up into... Read more
Between the eve o’ tommorow (August 12) and sometime during the weekend of the 20th, I will not be blogging, emailing, Facebooking, Twittering, Huluing, YouTubing, Yahooing, or JohnShore.comming. I’ll be as unplugged as a food processor in an Amish kitchen. (more…) Read more
