Pick a Card… Let Wildcard Wednesdays Begin!

by Michael Nolan

wednesdays Welcome to the first weekly edition of Wildcard Wednesdays here at Pride and Opinions.  Each week on hump day I am likely to talk about almost anything under the sun.  Anything goes on Wildcard Wednesdays!

Since I am a new name on this site, I thought I’d jump at the chance to talk about my favorite topic – myself!

I am an almost 36 year old gay guy living with my partner and our roommate in Birmingham, Alabama.  I used to be a bartender at a gay bar here in the city and now work as a full-time freelance writer and part-time photographer when my schedule permits (which is rare these days).

I have been a vocal advocate for the GLBT community for years, with several years invested as an out gay radio show host and working occasionally with the now defunct GAYBC radio station.  Prior to that I spent some time in the U.S. Air Force where I learned how to tear an airplane apart and rebuild it from scratch, and yet I can’t even change the oil in my own car.

In closing, let me give you a preview of what you can expect on a daily basis here at Pride and Opinions:

Musical Mondays
Every Monday we will take a look at music by and for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender artists from around the world.

Topical Tuesdays
Tuesdays are a day to watch out for.  That’s when I will be giving my weekly opinions, most often by way of video post.  Put on your seatbelts!

Wildcard Wednesdays
As stated before, anything goes on Wednesdays!

Historic Thursdays
Posts on issues relating to GLBT historical events past, present and future.

Fabulous Fridays
No better way to end the week than with some light hearted gossip and fun!

Saturday Dance Party
Its the weekend and it is all about dance music.  I will be joined periodically by my roommate BBGQ – one of the biggest dance music fags on the face of the earth.

The Sunday Times
On Sundays it is time to take a look at GLBT news from all over the world.
