The Truth About My First Breakup. Top Story - October 2025.
--- During my senior year of high school, I took on more than I could chew. I went to school full-time and had a job where I was working nearly 40 hours a week. On top of that, I took college courses on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings. As if that weren't enough, I also had a full-time boyfriend.

The Complications of Queer Dating in a Heteronormative World. Top Story - August 2025.
Aaron and I bonded through proximity. He worked at a sunglass kiosk at the mall; I worked at an engraving store that was, conveniently, directly across from him. During lulls, it felt like we could chat about almost anything. On breaks, we would grab one another food or a soda. Some people who worked at the mall thought we were a couple. I was one of those people-or at least I felt like we were on a romantic path. But there was one prodigious, meddlesome, elephant-in-the-living-room problem.

Queer Vocal Voices 2.0. Top Story - August 2025.
Hello! If you can believe it, Queer Vocal Voices on Facebook is a year and a half old!

Lets take a walk down memory lane to why we started this group, and what we hoped to accomplish. You coming?

Celebrating 10 Years of Marriage Equality . Top Story - June 2025.
Where were you and what were you doing on June 26, 2015? For me, it was just another day at the office. So why did I bring up this date, you ask? Because today is the 10-year anniversary of marriage equality becoming the law of the land in all 50 states. The United States became the 21st country to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. It was a huge victory for the us, the LGBTQ+ community, activists, and same-sex couples themselves. Two other groundbreaking rulings also happened on this day: Propositional 8 and the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Propositional 8, also known as Prop 8, was a California ballot proposition that passed in November 2008, which previously prohibited Californian same-sex couples from marrying. In 2010, it was ruled unconstitutional and didn't go into effect until 2013. The Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, was a law that was passed and signed by then President Bill Clinton in 1996. It previously prevented the government from recognizing gay and lesbian couples. However, it was later struck down, specifically Section 3 (1 U.S.C. § 7).

Revisiting Yuri!!! on Ice — 8 Years Later!. Top Story - June 2025.
That’s right, people—Yuri!!! on Ice came out over 8 years ago. Feel old yet? Yuri!!! on Ice is a lovely little show. It’s a half-figure skating, half-romance anime about a 23-year-old Japanese ice skater named Katsuki Yuri, and he’s having a rough go of it. After binge-eating before a competition due to stress and the depression of losing his childhood dog, Yuri loses terribly at Nationals. He heads back home to Japan, fearing and dreading that his exuberant figure skating career may be coming to a sad and rather lackluster end.
