Gas Station Buddha

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 […]

Mentioning Unmentionables Part 1

I think it’s far past time that we start mentioning our “unmentionables.” There’s a lot more to masculine cut underwear than “boxers or briefs.” (There’s a lot more to feminine cut underwear as well, but that’s a different column.)

By Shanna Katz

I’m part of the LGBTQ community.
