  • Bisexual Invisibility and Coming Out Bi

    by Jason Stotts In a recent column, Dan Savage argues that more bisexuals should come out of the closet so that they can be out in the open as part of society and can live their lives with integrity as who they really are.  I fully agree with Dan about this point.  All too many…

  • Polyamory is Wrong!

    by Jason Stotts I saw this come across the twitter earlier today (via @kellyelmore79) and several people were kind enough to forward it to me as well. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve seen in awhile. I share this etymological worry myself.  As I said in “On Polysexuality“: What I am interested in analyzing…

  • Too Much of a Good Thing?

    by Jason Stotts I think the idea of “too much of a good thing” being bad is nonsense and it is based on an incorrect understanding of “good”. For Objectivism, for something to be “good,” it must promote the life of the agent. Good, for Objectivism, is not intrinsic, or by divine decree, or some…

If…

  • Announcement: Live Speaking

    by Jason Stotts After having such a good time speaking at ATLOSCon, I’ve decided that I’m going to start doing more live speaking engagements!  Honestly, I need some more work to be a really great public speaker in terms of my presentation and speaking skills, but the content is already there and I have no…

  • Australia and the Hatred of Sex

    by Jason Stotts Australia is in the news again as they continue to become more anti-sex and move to censorship in an attempt to suppress information in their country. After their China-esque firewall (see “Australia Following China’s Lead?“) failed, they’ve now pressured ISP’s to do the blocking themselves: Starting next month, the vast majority of…

  • New York Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

    by Jason Stotts In a move that makes them the sixth state in the union to do so, the State of New York has legalized gay marriage!  This is a victory for all advocates of individual rights and opponents of christianity and its hatred of humanity and human happiness.  New York joins: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, as well…
