I have to mention first of all that I have only been a lesbian for a short period of time now. I was married to a man for two years until I fell in love for the first time with my partner. I got a divorce and now we are happy and [...]

I was reading an article on the election in Maine today, and although it was a fairly positive article in regards to the “No on 1″ campaign, there were a couple sentences that when I read them… they stung. Like a slap in the face. Not gonna lie, I started crying. While the comment itself [...]

So you say you want a piece of me?
{but only what you deem suitable, of course}
Certainly not the part that loves a woman
No, best leave that one at home for a while
We wouldn’t want your daughter to see
You miss me, do you?
{but wait a minute, not all of me}
Not the rainbow bits, you’re cool without [...]

I have been living the life a young, metropolitan gay girl about town for the past four years, and I was recently approached by a high profile journalist writing a deeply ignorant article for a vile little paper called the Daily Mail on ‘Lipstick’ lesbians, under which Sapphic term I apparently qualify (why [...]

From time to time the wife and I receive emails from the all powerful *eyeroll* Joe Solmonese and the HRC. Tonight the wife got an email about a nationwide special that the American Family Association produced called Speechless: Silencing Christians.

“You are not afraid of the dark, you are afraid of the unknown.” This may be true in most cases where we are afraid, but what if you DO know what’s in that darkness, what monster lies in wait? And that monster’s name is rejection, contempt, and disgust…
I came out once. I was proud of [...]

Through the victory of President-Elect Obama, a great step has been made toward the dream of equality. I am proud to say that I voted for him and truly believe he will be a great president.
That said, the dream of equality also took some serious hits. Voters in Arizona (my home state), Florida and California [...]

Vote NO on Prop 8! Californians, do everything you can to preserve your rights!
I live in Pennsylvania. Here in PA, gays and lesbians do not have the right to marry. We don’t have the right to be in domestic partnerships, either. Nor do we have civil unions. In fact, here in Pennsylvania gays and lesbians [...]

I live in Canada where same-sex marriages are legal. When I heard what was happening in California, I asked myself what I could do in order to encourage people to vote NO against Proposition 8 and support my Queer American Peers.
I decided to write a letter…because I’m a badass.
