Last week my partner and a friend both told me, almost simultaneously, that I had a few gray hairs coming in on the side of my head. Instead of realizing I often think that men with some salt-and-pepper are sexy and maybe I, too, could be sexy, my first thought was to panic and think I had to color my hair and maybe go blond ... again. Then I came to my senses and remembered getting older isn't a bad thing. It happens to everyone. But can everyone age gracefully? Is there such a thing as "gayging" gracefully?

Who says gay guys don't know their way around an auto body shop? No, we're not talking about the porn fantasy where you go to pick up your ride and the hot mechanic rolls out from under the car, covered in grease, his jumpsuit open halfway down to his navel—and next thing you know you're both naked and screwing. We're talking about honest-to-goodness, everyday guys who love their cars and know a thing or two about how to fix them.

The editorial, which has also been published in full on Dodd’s senate web site, enumerates his reasoning for having opposed same-sex marriage in the past and why he’s changed his mind.

I keep thinking that President Obama must have turned to his handlers yesterday morning and said “get me that fag Frank and that mannish one from Wisconsin, what’s her name, Timmy, to stand next to me when I sign this.” I know that sounds cruel, but if you take time to actually read the signed memorandum that Obama made such a show of on Wednesday, even the non-cynics would have to consider that it was nothing more than that, show...and maybe an attempt to counter the growing criticism this administration has been hearing from the LGBT community over its inactions.

No one likes to get pushed around, but unless you can kick someone in the nuts and run real fast (or get on a fast-track to a black belt in karate), most kids don't have the strength or support to do something about it. If you go to a teacher or a parent, the bullying may get worse (at least you think it will) and therefore remain silent taking this other kid's crap.
