Obliteration of the Month
News stories in local presses and tv listings touted the return of new episodes of the HBO series Six Feet Under. Somehow none mentioned that one of the main plots involves the gay son who has taken over his family’s mortuary, and his struggle with coming out, along with his relationship with his partner.
Gosh, where’d we go? How could they have missed us?
We Do Date
The Boston Globe is running a series following singles on their quests for dates. One of the three whose stories were included is a gay man (the other two were a woman and a man, both looking for opposite-gender dates).
“Chris, 37, Dorchester, systems manager. For weeks, Chris hadn't heard back from the man he went to a play with. Just as he'd given up hope, he got a call. ‘Hope springs eternal,’ he says. He returned relaxed from a gay cruise. ‘One doesn't go on a gay cruise expecting to meet a future ex, but one can't help but hope. I met one guy that had me wanting to stay in touch and another that left me wanting more on the deck. However, most of the men I met were more interested in a quick encounter than in a romantic evening.’ He met one man locally through online personals (planetout.com). Report: nice guy, no sparks.
