Sappho Speaks: Liberals, Labeling and How Much We Lose

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.

© 2009 Sandra Jean-Pierre
It came like turbulence from a butterfly’s wing. She barely realized it had been a kiss; if it were not for the mango and slight metallic woman taste left on her lips and in the air exhaled into her space, she would have just assumed it, this was all a dream.
Her brow [...]

My first…

A Place To Go

Hot:

It used to be that I thought
making love was a physical act
But now you are gone;
so far away, a visit is an event
It occurs to me how many

We made love with a silent stare
held over many minutes
Your chestnut eyes imploring
my soul, drinking me in
A kiss about to [...]

Hot:

If I could live in an ideal world, there wouldn’t be a need to identify oneself with either gender (male or female). This is a topic that is oftentimes confusing to me. I am happy with my biological female anatomy for the most part. When I was little, I thought that I wanted to be [...]

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
