Queerlefty is a 23 year old gay man living in Bergen, Norway. His blog, Welcome To All Of That, was established in December 2006 under the name I Need To Be Nicer, but found its current (plat-)form in May 2008. Welcome To All Of That offers his personal and distinctively gay perspective on a wide variety of topics, covering film, music, media, sports and with the occasional dip into politics.
Apart from movie reviews and musings on the blips on the pop culture radar, WTAOT also features two semi-regular segments. The Sexiest Male Alive List is updated every other month on average, and lists Queerlefty’s very personal round-up of the hotness what inhabit the world and his mind. Early Gay Crushes is a more infrequent segment, featuring essays on celebrities who played a part in his formative years.
When he’s not passing time as a free-flowing online gayer, Queerlefty is writing his Master’s Thesis on the historiography of organizational and political change in the British Labor Party between 1979 and 1997 at the University of Bergen’s History Department, (set to be submitted in May 2010). As you’ve probably understood already, his real-life persona is not all that interesting.

Thanks for visiting!

I don’t stumble upon thoughtful but very fun gay-themed blogs often. I smile when it comes to your taste in men because we share similarities! =P Just don’t post too much about Zac Efron. That boy has yet to prove to me that he deserves stardom. I don’t even think he’s all that good-looking! x_x

Thanks. While prominently featured, Zefron will certainly have to share the spotlight, don’t worry. As for his hotness, I guess we just have to agree to disagree.
My taste is subject to constant change. You can track it on my monthly Sexiest Males Alive list.

Interesting…if only you could convince the kids that I work with that university is important. :-)

Yeah, though I might not seem like it from this introduction, I really love being a student. I’m granted time and academic resources to pursue a personal interest of mine. What’s not to love?
What do you teach?

I work as a computer programmer/network analyst/mokey for the public school system. Before my current school I worked in a junior high school (grades 7-9). I spent a lot of time working with kids and discussing the need to finish school and do something afterward.

Oh, okay. Sounds like you’re doing admirable work, then. I sort of suspect I’ll end up teaching too, I just don’t think I’d be any good at it. It’s either that or some generic office job. If I could choose though, I’d rather be a political adviser or a pop culture writer, or maybe something in academia.

I enjoyed that job and found I really liked working with the kids. The school I’m at now focuses on home-based learning and my job is more technical then counselling. Sometimes I miss it.
Some how I see you as a writer. :-)

Thanks, Smilie, your encouragement means a lot to me.
I’m sure it’s great working with kids. They always prove to be smarter than you think, they’re honest and curious by default. I’m just unsure about whether I’d have anything to teach them that somebody else couldn’t have done better. I guess I’m not the best at leveling with people.

It can be fun and rewarding to work with them. Of course it can also be frustrating as all hell too. :-)
I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss your teaching ability. From what I’ve read on this blog I can tell that you’re intelligent and able to articulate your point of view. Those are essential qualities that seem to be lacking in a number of teachers I know. I suspect that you’d make a fine teacher.
