Allen After Dark

Allen takes a look at old southern traditions that some folks might think are unusual or weird, particularly ones involving funerals and cemeteries. The discussion then turns to southern dialect and how difficult it might be for others to understand.

Allen reflects on the times he was "hoodwinked" by hustlers and what kind of legacy a conman leaves behind.

Allen takes a look at why men seem to have complex issues with communication especially when it comes to their health.

An insulting comment about Gay Pride leads to a discussion about the importance of diversity. A moment of "pocket pool" leads to a fond remembrance of the joys of men's room cruising. A road rage incident sparks Allen's thoughts about the mental health of Americans. 

Allen re-examines the rights of Trans-Americans and the lies conservatives present as truths to justify the introduction of outrageous laws. In a lighter segment he considers the reasons someone might alter the tone of their voice, new UFO information from the government and why conspiracy theorists are more likely to believe lies rather than the truth.

Allen has a few choice words for conservatives regarding their anti-pride attitudes, recalling the old days with gay bashing conservatives after an encounter with a confederate flag wearing a-hole.

Allen takes his annual mid-life crisis look at being unattractive and how the world views people based on their physical appearance. 

Allen takes an honest and tough look at his past experiences involving men living with HIV/AIDS and how gay men have been treated through out the history of the virus.  He takes into consideration this experience to discuss STDs and the importance of testing and treatment.

In anticipation of the coming blue moon, Allen reflects on the effect that a full moon has on people. A goth kid seeks acceptance at happy hour and another gay republican has to face facts when shown proof that he wants to deny. Allen decides to wade into the good, the bad and the ugly of "May-December" relationships. 

A very uncomfortable ogling incident on an elevator reminds Allen of the experiences that women have to endure on a daily basis. Taking a trip back in time, Allen reflects on the joy he experienced when going to his favorite gay dance club. As always, the "male ego" has to interfere with the discussion once again.
