Product Trends – Increase Your Home’s Value with the Right Home Products

One of the tasks many homeowners undertake when they’re preparing to put their home on the market is to take on a few small projects. Putting down new tile, replacing the carpet, or installing snap-in wood floors can transform a room and add plenty of value to your home. So can a new coat of paint or adding in some shelving to make a part of a room pop. You may be content to look past a few imperfections within your home, but potential buyers will not overlook these things, even if they’re relatively minor blemishes on an otherwise perfect home.

Picking the right products for the right places within your home is an absolute must. This includes every part of your home you plan to do any type of improvement to. If you want to get your house ready to go up on the market…

Creep of the Week: James Dobson

In the eyes of James Dobson and other leaders in the far-right corners of Christianity, Donald Trump can do no wrong.

In a Sept. 14 column titled, "A Moral Alarm Against the Legislative Death March of 2020," Dobson, who founded the virulently anti-LGBTQ groups Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, writes, "Now and always, all human life is sacred, from the womb to the grave."

He then goes on to say how awful abortion is. And then he writes this: "We reject even the most basic legal protections for the unborn, the disabled and the sick."

Now while Dobson and I don’t see eye to eye on the abortion issue, I couldn’t help but think after reading about "basic legal protections" for "the disabled and sick" that Dobson was going to write about COVID-19. About how nearly 200,000 people in the U.S…

Pride Journey: Oklahoma City

To say I fell in love with Oklahoma City would be an understatement. I thoroughly enjoy visiting lesser known cities around the country as you go in with little expectations or preconceived notions. I had visited OKC very briefly a few years ago, but never spent a substantial amount of time there.

I quickly took note of the city’s evolution and progression over the past decade. Modern structures are popping up throughout the city, juxtaposed next to historic buildings that give a nod to the Oklahoma City’s past.

This trip was actually quite special as it was the first time the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors bureau (Visit OKC) organized an LGBT specific media trip. The 21c Museum Hotel served as our host hotel for the stay and it couldn’t have been any more perfect. The rooms featured king-sized beds with two separate seating areas and a shower all 5 of us journalists could have fit in. No, that didn’t happen on this trip.

During our stay, the hotel was exhibiting an extraordinary pop culture series of artwork designed as if they knew the gays were coming to visit. I’m not sure how many Instagram photos we took throughout the hotel, but it’s safe to say, the number is in the dozens.

Even the hotel restaurant, Mary Eddy’s Kitchen x Lounge was incredible. Aside from breakfast, which was inexpensive and delicious, I ordered the Brussel Sprouts from the bar menu for a snack one afternoon and they were the best I’ve ever had. I’m not sure how they made them, but to quote Guy Fieri, they were out…
