These are the stories of Ethan Green, a run-of-the-mill, average gay guy doing his best to cope with life in the gay ghetto.
MANY OF THE
ANCIENT CULTURES (38)
OF ANTIQUITY CONSIDERED an UNRINGING PHOKË TO BE MEDICATIVE OF A VISIT FROM THE REJECTION GORDESS...
He has all the wrong furniture, last season's leather boots, and a best friend named Bucky who half the city wants to take to bed...
by Eric Orner
He has a completely lovely and sweet natured, on-again off again boyfriend named Doug who is as commitment shy as he is devoted, and a sexy but devious trick named Etienne who's celebrated as a chef in Montreal and wanted in the states for drug possession...
Ethan Green
He has a smart-aleck cat named Lucy and a sharp-tongued, lesbian neighbor named Charlotte who loves him, and makes the nastiest lentil soup in town.
He has doting drag queen aunties called the Hat Sisters, a Mom who wishes he would date someone with a financial future...
and a job working for the city's lowest rated, perpetually inaccurate. Yiddish speaking TV weatherman.
SUNSHINEY
He's happy to welcome you to this space in the newspaper, and hopes to see you here next week in the Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
