I have spent 40 years documenting the intersection of mainstream and LGBTQ culture. I began my career at The Village Voice — where I came out publicly in a 1986 Pet Shop Boys review — before becoming a fixture at Spin and Rolling Stone. In 1992, my work at the San Francisco Examiner made me the first critic to receive an award from The National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association. Throughout the Nineties, I was The Advocate’s music columnist before a decade’s worth of writing at Out. Along the way, I've regularly appeared in Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Pitchfork, and other media mainstays. Love Me Like You Should: The Brave and Bold Sylvester, a 2020 mini-documentary I wrote and co-produced for Amazon Music, won a Clio Award.
