Dancing Out of the Closet
If there's one thing that would spring first to mind if you ask my loved ones what they think of when they think of me, it's THEATRE. It's not just my job, gentles and lady-men. It's a lifestyle. So, of course, in fitting "me" fashion, when I came out, I did it in public, and I did it to music. I was simultaneously appearing in two musical, and completely queer, productions. So the music that helped me find myself, from those two shows, takes the top spots on my playlist for Pride 2021

Balance is the Key
Geminis are perceptive beyond surface appearances, so it's visible to us how the figures behind a lot of the world's issues - the politicians and lawmakers - are deliberately using polarising talk to divide their opposition. Talk in America right now, for example, such as "If you're an atheist or a leftist you're un-American", ignores, alienates and aggravates those atheists and leftists who care for and contribute to their country's good, while enabling and empowering any conservative Christians who might do it harm. How about judging the benefit of someone's political and religious beliefs to their country by putting aside those prejudices and actually looking honestly at the good or bad consequences of both sides' words and actions instead? No, that wouldn't stir up the cheering mob of voters, would it? So the divisive rhetoric continues.

Vampire Bats
IF THIS, THEN THAT: VAMPIRE BATS I love a good superhero movie. I also love the classic tale of Dracula. And I never suspected how much I would find when I looked into how those two things could be connected. One hero in particular stood out as a close literary relative of the sinister Count, and it's exactly the one you'd expect.
