Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Granny Pearl
Sometime last summer I received a friend request on Facebook from Granny Pearl. I had no idea who she was but, as always, I approved the request and for the next few months I saw more and more of my friends also becoming Facebook friends with her. I wracked my brain trying to... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Matthew Brown
I first met Matthew Brown last year at our mutual friend Allan Acevedo’s house for the season finale of American Idol and series premiere of Glee. I was immediately taken by Matthew’s good looks (there were some other things I noticed about him but those are probably best left in my thoughts and... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Michael Brandon
My “research” on Michael Brandon, for the most part, had been limited to visual images. And let me tell you, there is plenty of good stuff out there to see. It’s taken me quite a while to prepare this interview because I kept getting distracted! Getting information from this man is like pulling teeth... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Chris Shaw
If you live in San Diego, you have most certainly reaped the benefits of this man’s hard work. West Coast Production Company, Hamburger Mary’s, Baja Betty’s, Urban Mo’s, Gossip Grill. Everything Chris Shaw touches turns to gold. Whether its buying a round of drinks for customers or the tens of thousands – if not hundreds... »
Citizen Kurt: Gay bars, patrons and questions of responsibility
Some recent events got me thinking. Do the bars and nightclubs around town show enough concern to their customers or are they just there to make a buck? Now that I have everyone’s attention, I wanted to give you some food for thought in this post. To be clear, I’m in no way... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Jasun Hicks
WOW! I’ve been gone a while, but Im back! In this week’s Dirty Dozen, I’m happy to introduce you to a very special man. Jasun Hicks was born Deaf but not defeated. He has the best outlook on life. On days when I’m feeling down, I just go to Twitter and see what he... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Gloria Johnson
I can’t think of a minute I’ve spent in San Diego that I didn’t know who Gloria Johnson was. You’ll see her everywhere, walking precincts, at fundraisers, at Golden Hall on election night. Her energy is as bountiful as her commitment to activism. She’s a lesbian activist who became active in the feminist... »
Game Day Pub Crawl, Citizen Kurt-style
Alright, I’m sure some of you are surprised that I even care about a football game. Well you’re right. I don’t know the first thing about football. But, what I do like is guys that watch football. Catch my drift? Last weekend, I had to start my Sunday out right and have a nice healthy... »
Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Robin Roth
I first met Robin about eight years ago at a salon that I worked in. One of my girlfriends there did her hair and I was always checking out Robin’s man (now, her husband!) I’ve met her a couple more times since then via my best girlfriend Cheri over at Air Conditioned Lounge. If you... »
Citizen Kurt Goes to Church: Metropolitan Community Church
Sunday, January 16, will be a day that goes down in history, for I proved many people wrong. I went to church and the sky did not open up, lightening did not strike anyone and I was not escorted out of the building. I guess from this you can tell I’m not a religious... »
