News Sex guru and CL cover star Michael Alvear

This week's CL cover story profiles Michael Alvear. The Atlanta sex and relationship guru's career has taken off, while his love life life hit a brick wall built by the government-sanctioned discrimination.
I was introduced to Alvear's work six or seven years ago when I found one of his op-ed pieces in Southern Voice. I was a big fan and picked up the paper every week looking for his work.
Sadly, I can't find any of his Southern Voice columns online. However, while rummaging online I did find a couple of Alvear-related nuggets worth sharing.
Here's a commentary he wrote and read for NPR's All Things Considered in 2003 about how the South's culture of politeness and indirectness contributes to the spread of HIV/AIDS.
And here's my favorite online Alvear knick-knack — a clip of him on The Greg Behrendt Show last year criticizing the studio audience for applauding a 23-year-old woman's virginity.
"Does that mean women who have had sex don't deserve applause?" he asks.
