Wednesday was a really big day in the world. A good chunk of the world, non-Catholics and Catholics alike, stopped to see who the new pope was. This has been a popular topic among both religious and spiritual beings and atheists; I mean who knew a pope could retire, and although the pope’s jurisdiction only […]

During a recent conversation with a dear friend, he mentioned that he never knew that there […]

What kind of company markets itself with the line “Sex is Fun… Infection Isn’t?” That would be us, JustGetTested™. JustGetTested is a company created to offer fast, reliable, confidential and affordable STD testing. And we do it online. (We know: “Online blood testing?” More about that later.)

Sometimes it isn’t that great; I have less rights than many members of our society, I can be fired just for being queer in many states, and while hate crimes laws exist, it doesn’t prohibit bullying of folks like me, the stares, being yelled at and told I’m sinning, and so on.
