Some of you may not know this about me, but I work in retail and have recently become completely obsessed with style and fashion. Which is why I’m creating a new blog series that will feature local designers discussing their work, how they got started and their plan to take it to the next level.  There is so much talent right here in Columbus, and it’s time we celebrate it.   Currently my... 

I’ve just found a  new site, thanks to Facebook tailoring its ads to only. gay. webites. for me. I didn’t think I was that queer just by logging onto FB but I guess technology is so accurate these days it can just sense the gay coming off of me.

Teacher’s I never even had class with knew my name. If you had a question about... 

Bullying has been a buzzword recently, especially in relation to LGBT youth.  I am fortunate enough never to have been the target of bullying, but it is still an issue that affects the entire community.  As you probably already know, April 20th is the national Day of Silence, a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students... 

Bob Morris Bob Morris is at it again. Morris, a Republican member of the Indiana General Assembly, refused to sign a resolution last month honoring the 100th birthday of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. His rationale: The Girl Scouts leadership is pro-abortion and pro-gay, and forces these liberal values upon impressionable little girls.  On Thursday, he took to The Washington Times...
