California (Equality) Dreamin’

california-equality-dreamin

Hot:

Cross post for TLL & Frank in support of 8AGAINST8
I live in Oregon. It’s right above California. Generally Oregonians hate Californians. Why? Well, the feeling here is that these rich-ass wacka doo California natives come here & buy up all the affordable properties and pollute our air with their fruity extra fluffy foam latte attitudes. [...]

Time to Heal

Hot:

“Rape is an interpersonal trauma that requires interpersonal healing. The more opportunities to safely confront the impact of rape with understanding and support, the greater the recovery.”
-via eCounseling.com
I’m not going to get too deep into what I’m going through right now, because after 12 years of trying to not accept this part of me, I [...]

Which is Worse? Being Brown or Queer?

which-is-worse-being-brown-or-queer

Hot:

A co-worker asked me this today. Which is harder, more challenging, more, ya know, difficult? This person is one of those well meaning types that I love & loathe at the same time. On one hand they get it. That being a minority has challenges and that non-minorities have certain privileges that make life easier [...]

Sexy Sexy!

sexy-sexy

Hot:

What looks, sounds & feels sexy to me has changed since I was a budding young woman many moons ago. Some mannerisms, looks & sounds that I felt attracted to have decraesed while others have increased.
When I was a mere 14 years old a person’s eyes really drew me to them. This is [...]

Forbidden Fruit

forbidden-fruit

Hot:

The straight woman. Has she ever appealed to my senses? Has she ever stirred my desires? Has she ever made me dream of her on lonely nights? No. Not once in my 16 years of being out.
Many of my pals & ex-lovers have been interested in straight women & some have even dated or “converted” [...]

East Coast Lesbians of Color Sentenced for Self Defense

east-coast-lesbians-of-color-sentenced-for-self-defense

Hot:

This a call to action!
This much I know on a day like today. In some places in our supposed “free country” being a queer woman of color can be a crime.
Last year on August 16th a group of seven young lesbian African-American friends from New Jersey we’re hanging out in the West Village of New [...]

Why Marriage Equality is Important to Me

why-marriage-equality-is-important-to-me

Hot:

Originally posted at QWOC

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I never wanted to get legally married. Not until now. Not until I found the love I had waited so very long for. And now I see the importance of marriage & why civil unions/domestic partnerships are not enough. For many years I ran around [...]

My Life is about Equality, Truth & Love

my-life-is-about-equality-truth-love

Hot:

My friends & family know me to be a person who “says it like it is.” This pic is me at a recent anti-war rally. I could have said “USA out of Iraq” or “Impeach” but the truth is this country has a painful history of going around killing brown people whenever it suits us. [...]

Rosie: Not My Ideal by a Long Shot

rosie-not-my-ideal-by-a-long-shot

Hot:

Do you remember the Ching chong incident? If not let this refresh your memory. After she made her ching chong mockery she remained wholly indignant on the matter until she watched a video by Beau Sia. Only then did she get it but still needed to plead victim & compare with her own issues around [...]

You, Me & an STD

you-me-an-std

Hot:

Great topic. Safe sex that is. I remember when I came out 16 years ago HIV/AIDS was still a cause celeb and safe sex as a topic was as common among us queers as anything else we’d chat about. I remember many years ago watching a supposed lesbian sex sex porno. Though it was not [...]

Lesbian Quotes

    “The most important political step that any gay man or lesbian can take is to come out of the closet. It’s been proven that it is easier to hate us and to fear us if you can’t see us.” — Amanda Bearse
