From the Editor: The woman you see at the right goes by the name Janet Webb, but I call her "Gram," a somewhat lazy pronunciation of "Grandma."

This Janet's a pretty radical lady and has been roaming this planet, wreaking havoc, for almost eighty-five years. Considering all she's seen in her time, I decided to ring her up for a spur of the moment interview.

After the jump, read Janet's thoughts on the gays, meeting my late grandfather, getting older, my younger self and what she thinks of anti-gay marriage activists. Her response may not be safe for work. That's my granny!

Meanwhile, hats off to my mother, Marsha, who took this lovely picture with her camera phone. Mom, you're so 21st century! Xoxo.

Don't be fooled by the cover, Bob Morris' Assisted Loving is not about a stooped old man eating roast beef in Florida. Well, it is - at times - but this memoir's more than that.

Picking up soon after his mother's death, Assisted Loving chronicles former New York Times columnist Bob Morris' struggle to find his eager beaver father a date. Surely trolling personal ads for one's father can take a toll, but, after all the arguments and aborted missions and, yes, his own dating misadventures, Morris finally learned to love his father. And, really, that's what this book's about: learning to love a parent - and yourself - as you look toward at times bleak future.

Morris recently sat down with our editor to discuss how this experience helped him come of age, the ethics of memoir writing and how his father led him toward his own relationship.

Straight folk could learn a whole lot from the marrying gays.

The spin doctors are in!

Newsweek's Lisa Miller recently wrote on a gay couple's lawsuit against dating site eHarmony, which prohibits same-sex couples.

The site claims that they haven't calibrated themselves for the queers and, thus, cannot accommodate our allegedly unique dating styles. They also justify their discrimination by saying they're marriage oriented and, since gays can't marry, they're just following the law of the land.

We've always doubted their arguments, but Miller falls for it hook, line and stinker!

Neil Patrick Harris was a chatty Cathy with Howard Stern yesterday and divulged all sorts of juicy details.

Like what? Well, did you know that NPH had his big ears pinned back? Apparently the former Doogie Howser star developed quite a complex, which may have been around the same time that he start having his lavender revelations: age thirteen.

Meanwhile, Harris also informed Stern that he had quite a list of lovely ladies before coming out and estimates that he bagged about 12-15.

That's all behind him now, of course, and the handsome actor simply can't shut up about how much he loves being in a monogamous relationship:

The best part about being in a relationship is like, going through phases and having things being great and things being not-great… I don't know that once your gay you get this card that says that if things aren't going great you can go fuck other guys.

Oh, yes. There's definitely a homo sluttery card. Yours got lost in the mail, unfortunately.

Andrew Calimach's sexual awakening came at a queer time: while at amuseum with his parents.

The family had fled communist Romania and found themselves in Rome, where the 13-ish Calimach felt his first gay pang:

I remember standing in a museum in Rome, maybe the Villa Borghese, staring at this ancient bronze statue of a boy about my own age, naked, pulling a thorn from his foot. I remember my parents trying to drag me away, and me staring and staring, desiring that naked boy.

Hungry for more, the lustful Calimach soon heard murmurs of homo-flavored Greek myths, which only fueled his pubescent curiosity. But, alas, those myths were buried, censored or simply destroyed. It was around that time, Calimach tells our editor, that he decided to dig up the long-lost tales of love and spread the love. And, after about forty years and inmeasurable determination, Calimach published Lovers' Legends: The Gay Greek Myths.

More than just ancient masturbatory material, Calimach found romantic tutorials. The 55-year old historian tells our editor, "The more I study these myths, the more I see in them the Greek's loving guidance: how to love, how to be loved, how not to hurt your lover…" Calimach also gives us the scoop on communism's positive attributes, why he never came out to his parents and how pederasty still exists. After the jump, of course…

We're not sure if you've heard, but it's Valentine's Day: the darkest day of the year for many of you single folk. Rather than offering tales of love (barf) or romance tips (like we'd share), we've decided to feature an interview with a man who dedicates life - and his passion - to enabling intergenerational relationships. Love does, after all, come in many shapes, sizes and ages.

It all started when former holistic therapist Chris Turner noticed a gaping hole in the world of internet dating. Most sites skewed toward the twink coupling, while older men - daddies, if you will - and their admirers were left out in the technological cold. In an effort to fill this void, Turner founded Daddy Hunt, a personals site for older men and younger men looking for love, lust or just plain sex. Turner even found his own man - author Armistead Maupin - on the site.

With 130,000 members ranging from 18 to the late-90s, Daddy Hunt's more than just an online cruising ground, says Turner, but a "political statement" against "mainstream" aesthetic. Read what else Turner had to say, after the jump.
