Lambda Literary Award winner collection "The Remedy"
"To remedy means to heal, to cure, to set right, to make reparations.
The Remedy invites writers and readers to imagine what we need to create healthy, resilient, and thriving LGBTQ communities. This anthology is a diverse collection of real-life stories from queer and trans people on their own health-care experiences and challenges, from gay men living with HIV who remember the systemic resistance to their health-care needs, to a lesbian couple dealing with the experience of cancer, to young trans people who struggle to find health-care providers who treat them with dignity and respect. The book also includes essays by health-care providers, activists, and leaders, with something to say about the challenges, politics, and opportunities surrounding LGBTQ health issues."

Lambda Literary Award winner collection " WHY ARE FAGGOTS SO AFRAID OF FAGGOTS?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification, and the Desire to Conform "
"Gay culture has become the ultimate nightmare of consumerism, whether it's an endless quest for Absolut vodka, Diesel jeans, rainbow Hummers, pec implants, or Pottery Barn. As backrooms are shut down to make way for wedding vows, and gay sexual culture morphs into “straight-acting dudes hangin’ out,” what are the possibilities for a defiant faggotry that challenges the assimilationist norms of a corporate-cozy lifestyle?."
"My back is a bridge between a turbulent past and emerging vibrant queer generations. Typically, I have filtered all my experience, knowledge and skill through sex, sexuality, illness, and social class. These are the moving forces in my life. They are my political foundations with which to understand pandemics, politics, global warming, stigma, violence, racism, and the minutia of the everyday. In this article, I intend to tie into knots several nerve endings related to ageing, queer men, and being long-time HIV positive (POZ) to see how they come together to compose the body and mind of a “daddy”. A Frankenstein daddy. "
