The late night cruise was anything but looking for love. The musty bar smell, the poppers and the music they all set the mood on a late Sunday Night in New York City in 1979. Queen – ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, Courtesy of queenofficial. Thank you ...

The LGBT Community and Our Accomplishments
It’s June and that means it’s LGBT Pride Month and even our president has acknowledged it! So lets look at some of the set backs and movements forward in the community.

I was emotionally drained, in a fog (psychologically and literally) and it was Christmas. The hot tub you see in the picture was definitely a lot of help. As I stepped into [...]
