That’s right, kids, we’re getting all emotional on your asses. Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a little look at sex and love in The Emotions Issue. We’ve chose to open it up with a video of Whitney Houston‘s “So Emotional” not only because we love the song, but because we think Houston’s words capture the complexities of love.
As the title suggests, she gets so “emotional”, but never does she say “love”. To us, love’s less an emotion and more of a concept made of myriad emotions: frustration, jealousy, confusion, anger, elation. The list goes on. Over the next few weeks we’ll take a little look at all those and more.
Don’t expect mawkish love tales – although, there may be one or two. We’re getting down to the nitty gritty, looking at all the passions, sentiments and feelings that go into that great abstract notion.
Also, we loved sharing your youthful pictures during The Youth Issue, so we’re going to try something similar with The Emotions Issue. We want you kids to send in pictures of people, places and things you love and, of course, why. Don’t send in a picture of you and your boyfriend or girlfriend and say, “I love Chris”. We want concrete reasons here, kids – not only does it give us a sick thrill, but it forces you to reflect on why you get so emotional. Hopefully it won’t lead to any breakups.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Tune in Monday for the first actual installment of The Emotions Issue: our boffo interview with John Waters!

The American Institute of Stress and The Centers For Disease Control have both reported that up to 90% of all illnesses are due to stress. For many years I experienced several life threatening chronic illnesses. I found the Institute of HeartMath and discovered that all of these illnesses were due to stress and emotions I had been experiencing in my life. Learning and practicing HeartMath’s scientifically substantiated tools and technologies literally saved my life. Additional information on HeartMath and how to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of stress and emotions, in-the-moment, achieve better health, more energy, improved mental and emotional clarity, and improved performance and relationships can be found at http://www.emotionalmastery.com.
