Why Queeratorium?
By: Randy Gillis
Because it's cheaper than hiring a lawyer and there are too many middle-aged (fine! 50-year-old) voluptuous bottoms in prison already. Everybody needs an outlet. It could be painting, music, dancing, automotive body repair or a million other avenues for pent up frustrations, anger, hate, bla, bla, bla. This is mine. A place to pour out (in a totally lovable and hopefully hilarious way) my heart and soul (I'm an almost atheist so, not too much investment there) about my place in this swirling existence.
But why the name? Well, I started with the Greek root Queer which is, well, I think we all know what the Greek root is for, then I added the Latin 'atorium' which means holding pen (I think, I didn't really research it). And, according to some North Carolina preachers, it's the best solution for containing a certain 'problem' within the greater society.
And there you have it. It also best describes my state of mind during my waking hours. We all see the world through the lenses we get at birth. It just so happens my lenses are extra fabulous. I know there is a tendency for some gay people to say, "being gay is just a small part of who I am," but they're wrong and lean toward the hippy (in body type, not ideology). Being gay is everything I am. It skews how I look at every aspect of the world.
From team sports (I don't see a football game, I see an orgy with helmets) to Harrison Ford (the subject of many blogs to come), it's all seen through gay eyes.
(I know he's kind of craggy now, but I would still totally....well, more about that later.)

Anyway, I invite you, one and all to come along, if just for a little while, and have a laugh at my expense.
See you.......soon.
