It’s been exactly a year today since I got the call from Dad — his voice trembling, broken — telling me that Mum was gone. I could hear the wailing in the background. At least he wasn’t alone.

Homophobia – It Is What It Is
You scroll through your Twitter feed, and you come across a tweet “Homophobia hurts everyone in the long run”.

Man In The Mirror

**Some more inane drivel, (made even worse by being stuck indoors on account of the Coronavirus lockdown), which like most of my posts isn't intended to make sense** In my last post, I said I would bore regale you with how I am managing to remain unplugged from social media & Grindr for lent and under… Continue reading More Random Drivel
