My favorite blog (other than the ones that I’m in) is Joe.My.God. (www.joemygod.com), an online digest of LGBTQ and other news told with a decidedly progressive slant. Joe Jervis, who created Joe.My.God. in 2004, is still at the helm of what is perhaps the most popular personal blog about LGBTQ issues in the world.
