I believe cutting a boy's foreskin is mutilation.
So why am I standing here at my child's bris?

I'm a progressive, supportive dad.
Why was I so troubled by the sight of my little boy dressed as Snow White?

I'm an unemployed dad without much power.
But there's one place I can exert control: The checkout line

I always thought I'd be a rational father.
But seeing a child in danger drives me over the edge

At first I was just curious
But then, I decided to try it myself.
Are straight men really going bare
down there?

As a gay man, I avoid gatherings with my small-town Texas family.
But sometimes, you just have to go home again.

I was 13 when the BTK murderer claimed his first victims.
But my childhood had already started turning dark.

I spent my childhood thinking athletic feats were impossible.
Then I decided to tackle one of the most famous.

I blamed gay culture for breaking up my parents' marriage.
Now I realize there's an upside to having two mothers

I keep my truck radio tuned to NPR and the country oldies station.
Does that make me an elitist?
