Fewer Porta-a-potties please
You people at fab are so good at perpetuating my love/hate feelings toward your magazine. For the past few issues your Together feature has denigrated itself to the point of irrelevance. I thought this regular feature was supposed to fly in the face of all those naysayers who say us homos aren’t capable of loving and committed relationships. Together has now become a parody of itself and perpetuates the negative stereotypes we hold about ourselves. Ten minutes in a portable bathroom stall? [fab #349] How unfunny and unoriginal.

On the other hand, Shawn Hitchin’s “Fried for Pride” [fab #349] is one of the most witty and original pieces I’ve seen in fab in a long time. Turning stereotypes on their head, Hitchins weaves a yarn that challenges his readers while at the same time being laugh out loud funny. So in the future let’s please see less bad self-parody in fab... and more Shawn Hitchins!

Is glamour not enough?
I think the whole village is tired of hearing about Enza’s ambitions to get on City Council [“Can a supermodel and a superpromoter restore glamour to Pride?” fab #349]. What is her platform anyway? “Becoming the first transperson on council” is NOT a platform — it’s an agenda.

Personally, having met Enza, I can’t say I’d like her to be my representative in any political forum. She couldn’t even simply accept the Grand Marshal status without griping that she wasn’t getting what she “deserved,” her public speaking skills leave most people wondering if she’s ever read a book and the only people she seems to associate with are people who can do something for her.

A little less staring into a mirror and a little more looking out for her community and maybe I’d consider it, but until Enza shows she’s interested in something other than getting a free dress, a free car and an overall free ride, I’ll keep my votes where they’ll do the most good. In almost anyone else’s ballot checkbox.

Fear of supermodels
Loved the “Two Gays Bitching” (or whatever it was called) [“Party animals and animosity,” fab #349] in the last fab. Keith Cole and Rolyn Chambers tell it like it is.

P.S. Keith asked me to write this just in case Enza comes after him.

But seriously, it was a fun column.
