I’ve been in love with Ryan Christianson since I was fourteen. Eight years ago, he was my brother’s teammate, billeted in our home, and completely off-limits. Now, as I’m called up to the NHL for the first time, the moment I discover Ryan is my new linemate is also when I realize I’m...

Knox As another member of my friend group finds his happily ever after, I'm starting to think I've missed the chance at my own. I keep myself plenty busy with the fire station and my contracting business, but when a mandatory rest order from my fire chief leaves me with extra time on my hands...

I have rules. Very important rules. No real names, no strings, no seeing each other again. It's always worked out well for me, and it's the only thing that keeps me focused as I try to climb my way into professional hockey after nearly torching my career. I should have been king of the ice in the paraprofessional league, but instead, I let my anger and bitterness get to me. Now I'm forced to claw my way back into relevance, starting with a community team. That would be fine if the one amazing, anonymous night I had with a total stranger didn't end up being the Wolves' new coach.

Buried for decades, the Up Stairs Lounge tragedy has only recently emerged as a catalyzing event of the gay liberation movement. In revelatory detail, Robert W. Fieseler chronicles the tragic event that claimed the lives of 31 men and one woman on June 24, 1973, at a New Orleans bar, the largest mass murder of gays until 2016. Relying on unprecedented access to survivors and archives, Fieseler creates an indelible portrait of a closeted, blue-collar gay world that flourished before an arsonist ignited an inferno that destroyed an entire community.  

As a Top Ten draft pick, I'd been on my way to hockey stardom—until one bad hit on the ice threatened it all.

So my plan for senior year is simple: keep my head down, work hard, and win the Frozen Four. But it all goes right out the window when my twin brother Nate finds himself in a precarious situation, and I'm the only one who can help him.

Felix (21 years old) My father is the Mayor of Belmont, and if he finds out I'm working at a diner in the rough part of town, he'll have me committed. He'd rather I hide in my bedroom than stoop so low as to be a server. Well, I'd rather be a server than a lying, two-faced politician. This is so...

A heart-warming journey with parents of a certain age and a son who thinks he knows best. Of course, we love our parents. Even if they do so many things that drive us bonkers. Like how a mother - for argument's sake, let's say mine - taps her fingernails on the car window whenever she sees a...

The most important issue in a gay man’s life is not “coming out”, but coming to terms with the invalidating past. Despite the progress made in recent years, many gay men still wonder, “Are we better off?” The byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, rejection, and anger - a toxic cocktail that can lead to drug abuse, promiscuity, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

I was afraid to fly. He made me soar. After years of climbing the ladder of success in the music industry, I finally had everything I could want.

I just never expected to crave the spiral down.

Hockey captain? That's me. Closeted? Also me. Totally losing my mind because my old high school teammate just transferred to my college team and looks way too good in those stupid tight pads? …Yeah, that's me too. Logan Brooks is out and proud now, and apparently, he hates me. The team thinks it's because we both want to lead. But the truth? All our late-night "fights" in the rink are about something else entirely—and when I finally shut him up with my mouth, I know I'm in trouble.

I matched with a stranger on a queer hookup app. He's bold. Filthy. Addictive in a way that makes me forget everything else. I don't know his name. He doesn't know mine. But when I'm at lunch with my girlfriend and see Micah Blackman standing there—my ex-best friend, the boy I kissed and then ruined—the game changes. Micah's back after two years of silence. He's inked, pissed off, and he's back on the team, the one I captain. Which would be fine…if I didn't still want him. If I weren't still pretending I'm straight. If the last time we played together, I hadn't ruined his life.

Eric had really screwed his life up. Not only had he broken the law, but he had gotten caught. Not that he had expected not to get caught. It's kind of hard not to when you wreck your car into another person while drunk. Luckily, the person hadn’t died, but he was still in serious trouble. A single stupid accident and his entire life came crumbling down. The day he was sentenced to five years in prison was one of the worst days of his life. Or so he thought.

Always have an exit strategy. Don't get into a situation without knowing exactly when and how to get out. Especially in relationships, otherwise you're just asking to get hurt. I'm a home renovator, he's one of Hollywood's hottest men. There's no way this could be real.
