Dear Shanna,
I’ve been out for almost a decade now, but my girlfriend is a newly-out baby dyke and isn’t out to her family yet. I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her, but having her family think we’re “just” roommates is bothering me. What should I do?

In the modern times when HIV meds work well, ‘undetectable’ has become a catchphrase. Unfortunately, the HIV-naïve don’t know what it means, and questions about the big u-bomb frequently arise. Does it mean that HIV is gone? Does it make sex safer?
How to get stronger and build more endurance doesn’t have to be an expensive goal, especially with tips from local experts who pride themselves on staying in shape.
This might sound slightly weird, but I think that when I get horny, I tend to sneeze a lot more. Is this a thing, or am I imagining it? If it helps, I am a transgender guy, and I do take testosterone shots.
Halloween no longer felt much like a treat, but seemed more like a trick that was becoming way too hard to figure out. With each passing year, the pressure to come up with something clever and different is stronger. Instead of going door-to-door to get candy, it’s bars and parties in hope that others will approve.

In fact, is there even a space that can combine the needs of all of the different facets? When queer folks and LGBT folk want to go out on the town, what spaces are right for what groups?
Like gender or sexual orientation, HIV status has adopted its own offensive terminology that can be hurtful to hear. Phrases like “the hi-five” or “the hiv” (phonetic pronouncement of HIV) have made their way into our modern language. While these were probably conjured up as a way to make light-hearted remarks about a dark situation, rarely does anything feel light about them.
This is the first piece of a multi-part conversation with Colorado trans* identified folks on trans sexuality – one that be similar, or very different, from other LGBTQ folks – and on what dating and relationships may look like for trans* people. In this issue we’ll be looking at the idea of trans* sexuality, and what it looks like for each of those interviewed.
Gay and bisexual men tend to be more at risk for HPV than lesbian or bisexual women – and like many other STIs, there is a higher probability of contracting it when the exposure is through anal sex. But since HPV can be transferred through skin contact, lesbian women should still be concerned, too.
