America's (if not
the world's) most popular
sex advice columnist. His home paper is
Seattle's
The Stranger, which he also edits, but his column gets syndicated in hundreds of
alternative weeklies worldwide, including my local one
the Georgia Straight (but it came here originally in
Terminal City, a vastly superior rag). He has a research assistant named
Kevin and until recently encouraged people to preface their letters with the slogan "
Hey, faggot!" He periodically writes unrelated feature articles for the Stranger and has a few books out, the latest of which is entitled
Skipping Towards Gomorrah.
