Gay Life Volume 34, Number 5

Just a few weeks ago I met with a tax preparer for the first time in my life. Once we realized we're about to be hit with a high tax bill, we decided it was time to enlist the help of a professional. Regardless of how bright I fancy myself, this is one area I cannot begin to handle on my own. No one denies taxes are complicated; they can be even more complicated for same-sex couples. Thankfully, we have professional information here to help. While many of us think about taxes this time of year, many others are working year-round to help ease our financial burdens. Check out the tips offered by Glass Jacobson and PNC in our feature story (p. 14).

Once you're well informed about these important matters, browse even more entertaining items (Yup—more entertaining than taxes!). Explore the photographic results of a gender-questioning pilgrimage (p. 7); discover your next favorite Fell's Point tavern (p. 10.); plus, you told us what you wanted to know: see if we asked your question when we interviewed Joan Rivers (p. 8).
