13+1 Completely Random Things About Me

  • If I could get away with it, cashmere would be the only fabric in our house.
  • I talk a lot when I get nervous.
  • I hate anything that tastes even remotely like coffee.
  • I love being a photographer. It's forced me to slow down and see beauty in places where I never would have noticed it before.
  • My dream cars include, but are not limited to, a 1971 Corvette Stingray convertible , a late model Porsche 911 cabriolet, a Jeep Rubicon, a 1967 Camaro RSS convertible, and a Mercedes Benz 280 .
  • One day I want to drive one of those dream cars to a house in the country my partner and I will own where we have planted fields of sunflowers.
  • I think the funniest words in the English language are monkey, Frankenstein, and zombie.
  • I wrote a piece of legislation that was passed into law. I have one of the pens President Clinton used to sign it.
  • I believe that almost all people are inherently good.
  • When I was 25 I decided that I no longer needed to learn things “the hard way.” I am totally open to advice and learning from other people’s life experiences.
  • My Mom is one of the most amazing people in the world. If I become half the person she is, I will be extremely happy.
  • I fell in love with Adrian the first time I met him, and he is the only person in the world who, on daily basis, motivates me to ask and answer the question, “How can I be a better person?” We are registered domestic partners in DC.
  • I am a hopeless romantic, and I wish people would say, "screw it. I am going to carry out more sweet, thoughtful acts of kindness just to make another person smile."
  • I didn’t believe in marriage until Adrian and I separated for about 8 months during 2007 and 2008. Most people, would have given up, but we didn’t. That is one of my proudest accomplishments. Because we beat the odds for “traditional” marriage (51% end in divorce), we’ve changed our minds and will get married one day.

We Are Our Own Oppressors, Part I

How much “oppression” does the LGBT community actually face, and how much of it occurs because we just expect it and don’t bother trying? It has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and a defeatist way of thinking we are teaching our young people by telling them, “You are gay; don’t try! You will fail or get hurt!”

TNG Featured Photo: That Building

I never had the luxury of coming out to my Mom. The sordid, insane story of how she discovered her oldest son was gay involved this building, vodka, a hot Houston summer night and one sinfully sexy guy.

Ignore the title of the video. I am a hopeless romantic. I love life, even when it’s shitty. I have a foul mouth. I am a total momma’s boy, and I have been blessed beyond belief because I get to come home everyday to a man I love so much that just thinking about him puts a huge smile on my face. After nearly seven years, some of which were difficult, I love Adrian more today than I ever thought possible. This video is my attempt to share some of that love with you. Have a fan-fucking-tastic day! Life is wonderful!
