I Am Angry At My World, Today.
"How can you be bisexual if you are married to a man, and you have children?" "Are you sleeping around?" These are questions I get asked, usually by people who work with children.

Baseball is For Everyone: Part 4
Greetings, Vocal readers and Happy Pride Month! I've addressed the many reasons why America's pastime is for everyone in previous stories, which I'll have down below. I know I said that the previous story of me discussing this topic was the last time addressing opponents of LGBTQ+ people and anything that's related to it. Now, I have even more things to discuss and helpful advice for them. Once you have read this story, please give it a like and subscribe to my page on here. Also, follow me on my socials. Finally, please send me a one-off tip at the end of this story to support my work as I continue to write and publish more stories.

Live and Let Live: One Straight Man's Take on Pride
As a cisgender, heterosexual, and white man (I'm Scottish-Italian, so not palest ever, but still white), I often feel that it's not really my place to say anything. But, still, I can't just sit on my hands and not say anything at all.

I Didn’t Disappear. I Refused.
They outlawed my name first. Not the one on my ID — that one they kept, with its masculine “Matthew” and that stiff, false “M” stamped next to sex, like a scar carved into paperwork.

Unapologetically Me...Now
Happy Pride, Vocal readers! I love this time of year, because it's a reminder to conservatives and anyone who heavily dislike us that we aren't going back in the closet. At least, not in the foreseeable future. Our voices will grow even louder, and we refuse to shut up.

Introduction This is a microfiction for the challenge below: This is not so much a microfiction as a series of observations based on some people that I know and have known.

The Half-Elf. Top Story - June 2025.
1. It starts in a club, as so many crucifixions do. - Seven years ago, today. Neon spills on my chest like fake blood. My wife—full lesbian, full moon—orders something tart, something red.

Forge and Sanctuary. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
I set the stake into the ground with a little more force than was probably necessary. It was happening with increasing frequency, so I knew with certainty it would happen again today. Might as well make it a part of my daily routine, I suppose.

You know it's True Love when your partner listens to you ramble about your writing woes without ever once begging you to shut up.

The Pakistani Chai Culture: More Than Just a Cup of Tea
In Pakistan, chai is not just a beverage—it’s a tradition, a comfort, a social glue, and in many ways, a cultural identity. While tea is consumed globally, in Pakistan, it holds a sacred place in daily life. Whether you’re a laborer taking a break or a guest in someone's home, chai is almost always part of the picture.

Passionate about my problems
So I flopped onto the couch on Memorial Day wondering why I feel so desperate. Then I realized I don’t have decent company, I’m drowning in debt as I maxed out all four of my credit cards, I don’t have cash, and my love life is not real.
