During his years in Congress, Barney Frank (D-MA) has built a reputation as a respected leader on many fronts: as an expert debater, a master parliamentarian, and a point man for his party on legislation. The first openly gay congressman, Frank is unafraid to take on difficult issues such as gay rights or the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. He pulls no punches in his cutting remarks about the many personalities and colleagues he cites and is a favorite guest on the talk show circuit. Edited and compiled by Peter Bollen, Frank Talk is an informal collection of quotations from this witty and brilliant congressman who is constantly quoted by news reporters, columnists, and pundits. After a quarter century as an elected official, Frank's humor and acerbic remarks have been collected in this volume, which includes congressional testimony, selections from his humorous fund-raising letters, and off the cuff comments as reported in the media.

A big book of manners for the more than 15 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the United States and Canada and the people who love them, work with them, and live with them. Written by Steven Petrow, the go-to authority on the subject—he’s the same-sex wedding expert at The New York Times and a columnist for The Huffington Post, Yahoo’s Shine, GayWeddings.com, and the “Q” Syndicate (with distribution to more than 100 LGBT newspapers and websites)—this is the definitive book of LGBT etiquette. Encyclopedic in its approach, filled with practical wisdom, lively wit, and much insight, Steven Petrow’s Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners covers everything: from coming out to being out in the workplace; from dealing with the joy and complexity of same-sex weddings and commitment ceremonies (including how to propose and write meaningful vows) to handling the legal paperwork every couple needs. There’s a chapter on sex etiquette, and another on the challenges and opportunities of raising a family, plus sections on travel, bullying, entertaining, meeting new friends, introducing your partner to your family, a primer on gay pride, and so much more. Throughout there are hundreds of questions—some posed by LGBT folk, and others by straight people: What do the mothers of two brides wear to a lesbian wedding? What do you say to an anti-gay joke? How do you answer “Who’s the father?” when there are two mothers? Manners, yes, but with a twist. **In recognition of Quality, Excellence, and Design, this ebook has been granted a QED seal of approval from Digital Book World.**

A Gay male witch takes a good look at the occult aspects of what makes Gay dating so difficult. All dating is hard, but Gay dating seems to be especially problematic. Like women, Gay men suffer from the fairy tale curse. Unlike women, who only have to play the part of Cinderella, Gay men have to navigate between the roles of both Cinderella and Prince Charming. Cinderella, must focus on pleasing others (even at the expense of her sense of self). The Prince, on the other hand, is raised from birth to believe he is god's gift and that his suitor(s) should be thrilled that he showed up with the glass slipper in hand. This creates a truly cursed situation.Casey Giovinco, the author of Garbed In Green, tackles that very issue in this second book within his Gay Witchcraft & The Male Mystery Series. With the training of an academic philosopher, Casey analyzes the social and political situation that Gay men find themselves in when they embark on the perilous journey of dating each other. Once he identifies the problem as "the desire for Prince Charming," he applies occult wisdom to help his reader identify the part of their own desires that are fueling "the Gay dating curse" within their own love lives, and then, like a fairy godmother sent to rescue us from our lives of drudgery, he helps us cast our spells and work our own witchcraft to overcome the obstacles, which have held us back from finding happiness with each other.If you're a Gay male witch who wants to read a book on witchcraft that is written specifically for you or you want to cast spells that you don't have to translate from the heteronormative language we are all so mired in these days, this book is for you. If you are tired of the drama of Gay dating, this is the book for you. If you just want a good read, this book is for you.
