Lucy Nicholson / Reuters If gaydar is the ability to intuit someone’s sexual orientation merely by looking at them, what’s the flip side? It’s the ability to tell, with one word, whether someone might be homophobic. And that word, I’ve found, is “friend.” “Where does your son’s friend live?” “What’s his friend’s name?” “Where does his friend go to school?” These questions have repeatedly been asked by people—neighbors, actual friends, relatives I essentially like—who already know that my 23-year-old son Sean is gay and that Henry is not his “friend.” Henry is Sean’s boyfriend—I’ve made this point clear.

    Denver Post, Wednesday - 06/26/2024 - 04:59 PM

  • Avoid parking, rideshare surge pricing with RTD transportation to Morgan Wallen concerts
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 06/26/2024 - 03:38 PM

    Planning to take a trip Thursday or Friday to Empower Field at Mile High for Morgan Wallen’s performances? Here’s how to navigate downtown and avoid rideshare surge pricing using public transportation. The Regional Transportation District is prepared to support an increase in riders during the Morgan Wallen concerts on June 27 and 28 at Empower Field, which lies close to several bus stops and light rail stations, RTD officials said in a Wednesday news release. Before and after the concerts, RTD will offer regularly scheduled service on the D, E, H and W lines, which all directly serve Empower Field, as well as the A, G and N lines, which provide service to Union Station — about a two-mile walk from the stadium. The last H line light rail train — which runs every 60 minutes from Union Station to Florida Station in Aurora — will depart from Union Station at 11:25 p.m.
