A new weekly column
by Simon Sheppard

Great news! After going under, CarnalNation.com has been given new life courtesy of Seattle's Foundation for Sex Positive Culture. While plans are still being formulated, it seems quite possible that "Notes of a Cranky Old Fag" will be back online soon.

As was the case with "Perv," a column I wrote a few years back, "Notes" has covered a wide range of political, cultural, and sexual stuff, all with a jaunty step and and a jaundiced eye. I knocked out a bunch of columns on some juicy topics: same-sex marriage and the demonization of promiscuity; the slippery slope to polygamy; the politics of spanking; and my theological discussion with the minions of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church.

For now, you can catch up on some past columns by clicking on the graphics below, and you can see all my "Notes" by going to CarnalNation's archives.

As of now, plans for the website's resurrection remain in flux. But maybe I'll be seeing you again at CarnalNation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
