August 16, 2020August 15, 2020 Christopher Kelly

The hardest part of being different is having to explain yourself every single time. I dream of a day when that won’t be the case. But it’s foolish to hope that everyone will understand you because we’re always going to … Continue reading 3 Things Every Gay Man Wants You To Know

Don’t Hate Gender-Neutral Pronouns

August 13, 2020August 13, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Bisexuality Is The Silent Majority

August 3, 2020August 18, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Chances are you’ve done something sexual with someone of the same sex, even if it was a bit of show and tell or some touchy-feely. Which goes to show that the labels of gay and straight are not as concrete … Continue reading Bisexuality Is The Silent Majority

When Will The Act Of “Coming Out” Be Ordinary?

August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 Christopher Kelly

I still remember when Ricky Martin came out of the closet 10 years ago. The media went wild about it, naturally, but most of us already knew. It was more a collective sigh of relief than a celebration. But then … Continue reading When Will The Act Of “Coming Out” Be Ordinary?

It’s Okay To Burden Your Workplace and Self-Isolate

July 31, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Sexuality Is Not A Concrete Label

July 30, 2020July 30, 2020 Christopher Kelly

By a certain age, you know what really turns you on. You’ve garnered a small collection of carnal desires and you refer to them in every sexual encounter. Guys in jockstraps, girls with big melons, DILFs and MILFs, and perhaps … Continue reading Sexuality Is Not A Concrete Label

Why Trans Women Are Women (And Trans Men Too)

July 10, 2020July 24, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Looking at the figures on a bathroom door may not seem so important to you. It’s either male or female. But it’s interesting we use the generalised depictions of a male and a female instead of a penis and a … Continue reading Why Trans Women Are Women (And Trans Men Too)

An Open Letter To J.K. Rowling

June 30, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Before I start, I’d first like to say that I don’t consider you transphobic. That’s a HUGE misnomer considering you openly support transgender people and their safety. In fact, I wouldn’t even call you ignorant. From your latest blog post … Continue reading An Open Letter To J.K. Rowling

Why We Still Need Pride Month

June 29, 2020 Christopher Kelly

One question that never fails to irritate me is “why don’t straight people have a pride month?” Apart from the fact that they’ve had Valentine’s Day since the 14th century, my usual response is “be thankful you don’t need one.” … Continue reading Why We Still Need Pride Month

The Truth About Sex They Never Taught You In School

June 23, 2020 Christopher Kelly

Remember sex education? When they’d wheel in the overhead projector and show you slides of penises and vaginas — no giggling, please! Well, there’s one slide they didn’t show you… Sometimes nature gets a little creative. As you well know, sex isn’t … Continue reading The Truth About Sex They Never Taught You In School
