If you're hoping to attend one of the Men's Knitting/Fiber/Crochet, etc. Retreats next year, you may want to keep track of the schedule. There are a bunch and they're already selling out quickly once they open.

Any other gay men of a certain age who had their lives changed by The Front Runner and then re-read it as an adult? Spoiler alert, it's not really very good. #gayreading #lgbtqreading #gaybooks #queerjoe #queerliterature
