As Alice blindly and without much forethought ran down the rabbit hole into Wonderland (or was it?) so do children born of their parents follow them into the family’s religious fold. It is a predestined plan, one the child has no control over and once indoctrinated will fight to the death for those beliefs as strongly as their parents before them.

I know we were all taught as children not to call each other names and we know how much racism hurts us as a culture (or at least I hope those reading this blog do) but there as so many more ways we use labels in our lives that shut us off from groups, from information, and from individuals and if you are anything like me, it takes someone pointing it out every now and then for a real wake up call to happen in your life so change can begin to rebuild your way of interacting in the world.

I have been thinking a lot about labels, lately. Specifically, the “L” word. No, not the show and not Laboutin (although if anyone wants to donate a pair of killer open-toe combat boots with a rockin’ stiletto heel, I take a size 6 ½). Lesbian. That’s the one. It may sound utterly ridiculous, especially as [...]

I know, I know, not you, right? Ok, so I am not talking about you particularly, but I do know that Sappho has indulged in watching Zeus and Apollo go at it like the Greek gods they are and so do plenty of my lesbian brethren.

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 [...]

My girlfriend is overweight. When we first met, I was not sure if I was attracted to her because of it, but found that it didn’t matter. I feel like I am really in love with her and there is a difference between my private feelings and my public worries. In private [...]

Is there a female is here?
I froze. I shouldn’t have answered. I should have ignored it. I should have ripped the guy a new one.
Hindsight is 20-20.
Last Friday, my best friend and I went shopping. We’ve sworn to return to out old gym-junkie habits, and seeing as how that means 5 days a week sweating [...]

Being late isn’t easy. There is a lot of fretting and thinking and procrastinating and forgetting involved. There’s list-making, and list-losing. There’s emailing myself with points to ponder. People in the creative biz can tell you that sometimes it’s only a looming deadline that can push a project through the banner. I now see that [...]
