Sappho Speaks: Pornography – A Rebuttal

Hot:

What Would Sappho Say?
Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)
On one of the other sites this blog is posted on a woman trying to discover her sexuality asked innocently, “How does one know if she’s a lesbian before actually engaging with a girl if even straight girls like lesbian porn? I started out with [...]

Sappho Speaks: Alice, You’ve Really Stepped In It Now!!!

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.

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.

Yes I am!

yes-i-am

Hot:

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 [...]

Quitting Is Not Always For Quitters

quitting-is-not-always-for-quitters

Hot:

I got my free Quit Kit in the post the other day, on the exact same day that I had chosen on which to quit smoking. For once, the NHS got something right! By the way, I’d suggest you make yourself comfortable. I have little doubt that there will be many more ‘I Have Decided [...]

Hot:

It was a bright Friday morning, my partner and I were driving to work. When she stopped at a yellow light. The guy behind her was upset that he couldn’t run a red light and get to work a millisecond earlier than he would now get to work. He was yelling and [...]

Guest Post: Lipstick Lesbians Lament

guest-post-lipstick-lesbians-lament

Hot:

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 [...]

Hot:

A few weeks ago, Bren Ryder, the woman behind GoodDykePorn.com, contacted me about doing a review of her site. I said I would be happy to and asked her to send me a DVD to take a look at. Who am I to turn down porn? Bren and her lady friends are based in gorgeous Vancouver, [...]
