Safe sex in m/m romance

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Zahra / 4 Comments

I recently read a novella I really liked. It was a classic story of two guys meeting and falling in love after some confusion about whether the other guy was gay or not since one was closeted and the other was out and proud. Of course, at one point in the story, it came down…

My take on the GRL mess

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Zahra / 8 Comments

First of all, I’d like to say I admire the 6 people who are putting together yet another GayRomLit retreat. I have some idea how much work is involved and frankly, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. It’s a pretty thankless job which is the reason I went out of my way to…

Dec 1st: Red Ribbon Day

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Zahra / 0 Comment

I figured World AIDS day was as good a day as any to start my Gay Movie posts. And what better film to start with than Longtime Companion. The first time I saw this film I was 21 and in college. My soul mate was a gay man and friends and acquaintances were either getting…

Believing in Love – by B.G. Thomas

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Zahra / 0 Comment

I met B.G.Thomas at the incredibly chaotic Rainbow Book Fair in New York City and got a chance to talk to him a little bit at the Dreamspinner Press Workshop. He’s funny and so very kind and open-hearted, I’m not surprised he’s a romantic. His story made me cry a little (because we’ve all been…
