Re: LGBT affirmative tenants by Bill Hanson Dear Editor: In the Sept. 29 issue of your magazine, Mr. Hanson writes, in the above named article, that “we remember the movie The Bad Seed which was all about a lesbian relationship …” I would like to point out that The Bad Seed had nothing to do…
The New Year is upon us and once again rekindling the hope for world peace, universal justice, the elimination of hunger and for Daisy and Minnie to finally get married or at least laid. Sadly, of all these worthy goals the last one is the most likely. However, the human spirit is eternally optimistic and…
I almost dropped the phone last week when I learned I had won several million dollars in a sweepstake. A very nice man congratulated me and then ran through the few simple details for me. I was ecstatic; I couldn’t even remember entering a contest. He assured me the money was mine as long as…
Christmas decorations everywhere and lo, a turkey peeps out of Santa’s bag. Thanksgiving Day must be nigh. How thankful we are this year, especially the newly married same-sex parents and their kids celebrating as really legal families. The rest of us, too, can share the day with friends at home or join the community at…
Continuing puzzlement from seniors about apps compels me to enlighten you with information gathered from friends and Web sites all promising to use easy words. First, app means application.

This means those born after 1980; you know, the ones we refer to as kids. The members of the next group in…
At times the crowd at the Pride Parade was more interesting than the marchers. Call me crazy, but I found the bare-chested hunks on the sidewalk more appealing than the various church groups, worthy as they may be. When the sun became too hot and we moved closer to the buildings for the shade, the…
This is my 100th brief! Looking back over the lgbtweekly.jeffjungblut.com Web site, I was especially pleased to re-live certain memories, i.e. Mine is Bigger than Yours (issue 26), High School Reunion (51), What’s a Dingleberry (36) and to review my advice in Beating Around the Bush (42), De-gay or Not De-gay (81), The Size of…
I may be treading into dangerous territory here. I know this is a family oriented magazine, but as a topic this is something my loyal fans can sink their teeth into. My years in Japan often left me in the dark as to newly coined slang words. I was aware of the many meanings of…
