My cousin sent me a link to this. I started reading. I was about to click away with a yawn before I noticed the writer was Armistead Maupin.

How things alter. I first saw Maupin’s “Tales of the City” series in the belated 1980s. Each publication, I couldn’t place it down! I was living on a boat, scraping by. I lived aboard friend’s miniature craft, parked in the marina. Rent was free, in exchange for keeping an eye on things. The tiny cabin wasn’t even big enough to stand up, so night after overnight, I sat prolonged hours on the mooring slips, reading those books under the dock lights.

The couldn’t-put-it-down wasn’t from adventure, but from the steady subtext, “Gay life can be normal!” Here were these serviceable gay characters, in richly integrated lives. The message to me, trying to figure out this new weird queer thing, was, “You, too, can own a fun, normal life!”

The past several months, I own been leisurely going through the equal series again, as audiobooks. They are delightful in how they bring help that time and place. But after all these decades, I now own my own richly integrated gay existence. Literature is

Relationship Options in Bully

In the game Bully, the player-character Jimmy Hopkins can romance non-player characters. Some of these optional romances are part of specific in-game plot lines, all of which are with female characters in specific cliques. In these cases, Jimmy has to do specific things to earn the girls’ affection (a list can be found here).

In addition to these pairings, after passing his first art class, Jimmy can smooch any female students if he gives them the right gift (though this page says he can only kiss non-clique girls, and this page says he can kiss any girls in his age group). There are eight girls he can kiss. Kissing results in a health bonus for Jimmy, and the more art classes he passes, the more of a kissing bonus he gets. Billy cannot kiss any of the younger girls in the game, and the only adult he can potentially kiss is Mrs. Lisburn after he runs an errand for her.

In addition, Billy can also embrace one boy from each clique in the game, 6 in total. Players can do this by talking to the boys until the “thumbs up” button turns into a bouquet (allowing Jimmy to grant the boy flowers), and then lips. The character pages for a

Come, take an imaginary, but very real, walk with me. Envision you are a 13 or 14-year-old boy. You are a little overweight, you get into science more than you love sports, you even sing in the school choir. Your reward for doing your thing is that the sports boys and the popular folks call you faggot, trip you in the hallway, accidentally on purpose slam you against a locker. You know the little things of bullies, which add up to a life of torment and torture.
You can imagine how such treatment can lead you to suicidal ideas. You can understand how this life of torment can result in total self-destruction. You don't know if you are gay, and frankly you are 13 or 14-years-old. Do you really have to have such a label? Why should you have to even put up with this torture?
Now for a reality test. Those same bullies that tortured our imaginary, but very genuine hero, showed their fangs this weekend at the Conservative Political Action Committee gathering when they applauded Ann Coulter's side swiping attack of Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards by alluding to him as a "faggot."
And while I applaud his condemnation of the attack, Edwards has failed as far as I am concern
