by
As The Hawk Cuts The Heavens - E.S. Wynn

Genre: Sci-Fi LGBTQ+ Category: Bisexual Reviewer: H.L. Publisher |  Amazon | B&N About The Book The year is 2124. Earth’s first faster-than-light starship makes its maiden voyage into the unknown and disappears, only to be declared missing for the better part of two centuries. The ship’s historic first mission was supposed to be simple, just a test of the experimental displacement drive.

They find something that draws them into a struggle against a horror … Read more

I originally wrote this column on the day after President Joe Biden exited the presidential race. At that time, we didn’t know yet that Kamala Harris would be the nominee. All we knew was that we’d been given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change things, to shake up a race that until then seemed to be inevitably going in one direction. In the days that followed, Harris consolidated her support and jumped into the race with an agility, grace, and joy that few of us suspected she possessed. As the race progressed, she spread a message of optimism, while her opponents … Read more

A few years ago, when the fight for transgender rights and recognition was just gaining steam, one of my older friends from a generation before mine came to me and Mark and said that she just didn’t understand what “the whole transgender thing” was about. I think she asked us because, as a gay couple, she figured we would know, and that we were a safe space where she wouldn’t risk alienating a trans friend or loved one. We sat down with her and explained it as best as we were able – to be clear here, I am not … Read more
