Boston Youth Pride :: 2008 Pride March & Festival
May 10
The sun came out - and so did Greater Boston’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight youth. Boston Youth Pride 2008 brought thousands to the Boston Common to celebrate unity, peace and sexual identities of all types, trying their luck at Dance Dance Revolution, marching through the streets of the Hub and dancing along with "All The King’s Men," "Freezepop" and other musical groups. And if anti-gay group Mass Resistance wanted to join the party, that was OK too - the crowd just blocked their cameras with pride flags. EDGE has the entire event on film - check out the pics!

By Scott Stiffler | May 12
What age is appropriate to begin introducing the concept of families headed by those whose identity is so closely associated with their sexuality? That question has perplexed educators for two decades now. EDGE’s Scott Stiffler looks at gay lit for kids -- from "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy’s Roommate" to "Tango Makes Three" -- the more things change, the more they remain the same.

Mississippi: Sun and adventure on West Ship Island
May 11
It’s like something out of a movie: A boat filled with tourists -- drinking and happy, delighted with the exploits of the passing dolphins -- washes up to a rugged island whose exotic name conjures the mystique surrounding this place.

Real Estate Tax Implications for GLBT Couples
May 10
The entire system of USA taxation favors real estate ownership in ways that make property owners green with cash, and investors in other kinds of tangible or intangible assets green with envy. For example, ownership of artwork, commodities, or stocks and bonds conveys few deductions - whereas real estate offers everything from mortgage interest deductions to breaks for those who reinvest capital gains from the sale of a residence.

The Gourmet’s "George Foreman"
By Merle Exit | May 8
Picture it! You’ve invited your friends to an outdoor barbecue and just minutes before their arrival, those lingering white clouds in that beautiful blue sky are getting grayer by the second. Chanting "Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day" didn’t seem to help. The space is available indoors, but do you pull out your pots and pans and begin warming up the oven or remember that you recently purchased that Ikon indoor grill?
