Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

Postscript: Miss Gay Matagalpa 2008!
Here's a postscipt to my piece on Nicaragua's gay life in 1986. This is a clip of the "Miss Gay Matagalpa 2008" pageant in Matagalpa, a regional center up in the mountains near Honduras. In 1986 this was a war zone and I was not able to visit there. Apparently, times have changed!
