Break Free

break-free

Hot:

I am surrounded by men in my office. They do as they please and most days I just laugh at their corny jokes and do what I’m doing. But today was different. Today I broke free. Really.
I have been uncomfortable from the moment I came in this morning. Maybe I didn’t take as much time [...]

The Fight for Love

Hot:

Do you ever get tired of fighting for who you love? It seems as if the gay community has had to do so since the beginning of time. Many of us have had to fight with our parents, when it’s election time we have to fight to hope the vote goes our way, and internally [...]

A Delivery

a-delivery

Hot:

I deleted a hundred sentences before I decided on the right ones. They should make the cards bigger. The ones that come with flowers. Don’t they know how hard it is to sum up love in 2-3 sentences. Then it came to me.
I’ve never loved a heart as beautiful as yours STOP
Every thing about you [...]

Here’s the thing …

heres-the-thing

Hot:

Okay. So 99.9% of the women in my life are straight. It’s been like that for a long time. Hell, if I could find a lesbian, I’d date her. But it seems that I live in a dyke-free zone.
I’m out at work. Super out. ‘I like girls’ sticker on the back of my chair out.
So [...]

Fear, Denial, Loneliness, Freedom

fear-denial-loneliness-freedom

Hot:

The four words of this title describe what life
was like for this lesbian at different stages of
coming out.
I am urged to write about this after an odd
influx of lesbian staff in my work place.
At each turn I am told about or sense myself
the truth of various women around me.
I can not name them even if [...]

Not so "closeted" at work anymore

not-so-closeted-at-work-anymore

Hot:

i hadn’t had to come out to anyone until this past year. It felt odd to feel odd about it, just ’cause i thought everybody always knew. But this past December, things got kind of carried away at work. I had a male colleague of mine harassing me, knowing all along that i like women. [...]

The Out at Work Thing

the-out-at-work-thing

Hot:

I’ve been out at work for about 10 years, now, I think. I’m a journalist, working at a daily newspaper. At the time I came out I was actually the token woman in the paper’s sports department, so you can imagine, I was surrounded by real sensitive guys.
*cough*
It all came about because I was just [...]

Being "out" at work

being-out-at-work

Hot:

there are two things I hate about being gay :
1- the fact that I’m not the only one to be the target of stereotypes and all… I hate that my family can be targeted as well when they shouldn’t… we’ve been lucky so far only a couple of friends of my parents had somewhat mild [...]

Being "out" at work

being-out-at-work

Hot:

The question here is not whether a lesbian should be “out” at work but how many people have properly working gaydar and how you would feel being under fire from persons who “just don’t understand.”
Some people are obvious that they are lesbian.They just have that natural look about them and they are easy as pie [...]

Bisexuality and being not-so-out at work

bisexuality-and-being-not-so-out-at-work

Hot:

Often times I’ll be talking with one of my few lesbian friends and so and so is usually mentioned. “Do you know (insert name here)?” “Yea, I don’t like her” “Why’s that? I think she’s nice.” “She’s bisexual.”
What an awesome reason to not like someone. I’ve heard a whole bunch of reasons why lesbians don’t [...]

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
