Hi Guys! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. Mine was fab. I spent it in the South visiting Prof C. She says hi, by the way. We’re all hoping she makes it over to Vp soon. Moon and I are usually chatting with each other from our respective Brooklyn [...]

I came out as a dyke when I was fifteen, before I had so much as kissed another girl. I had tentatively locked lips with my fair share of boys, starting with little Ryan Lukehart on the playground when we were six. But soon enough, melty thoughts of girls began to occupy more and more [...]

I wanted to share our project list with you. As you can see, Tami has already gotten a couple things crossed off the list. If you don’t see your suggestion listed please add it in the comments and I will include it. Currently our site runs off of a CMS program called WordPress.

The biggest story of the week, perhaps, is the ongoing siege in Mumbai. Indian officials are still in the midst of quelling the situation at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel where explosions have set off fires. Five hostages and two gunmen died at a Jewish center including Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, and his wife, Rivka [...]

Here’s what makes sense about homophobia: those most freaked-out about it are those most tempted.

I’m all for positive thinking but me thinks it’s going to be a lean holiday season for those of us in California.
You’ll recall the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and how it fairly leveled what then was a good economy in California.

Do we realize that this guy isn’t even our president yet? George, who? No matter, he makes us feel better in a completely uncertain time. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Thanksgiving is here, and like any good Feminist/hedonist/recovering Catholic, I am fraught with contradictions.
Of course, I am troubled by the concept of an imperialist holiday which essentially commemorates the systematic wiping out of indigenous people. I also believe in practicing radical gratitude, and can totally get into the idea of setting aside a day of [...]

The National Gallery in London and the National Galleries of Scotland have been trying to raise £50 million to keep Venetian Renaissance painting, Diana and Actaeon by Titian, on view in the National Galleries. The painting has been on loan since 1945 and on view in the Galleries for 200 years. The private owner [...]

As you guys well know, I’m a seeker with a solid spiritual path and daily practices. I believe in reincarnation and karma and dharma and all that is encompassed within the Yogic and Taoist traditions, with a smattering of Native American philosophy, as well. Based on that, it is my understanding that we have certain [...]

Maddow getting soft on conservative homophobes? On Monday night Rachel Maddow interviewed former Republican presidential hopeful Mike Hukabee. The following day LGBT news blogger, Pam Spaulding wrote:

I’m missing my Chart Report right about now so that I can keep everyone up to speed on the goings on in the world.
A circuit court judge in Miami-Dade ruled earlier today that the long-standing ban on adoption by homos is, in fact, unconstitutional.

Boy meets Girl. Girl plays hard to get. Boy chases girl. Girl gets caught. Boy and girl finally do it, the music swells, the lighting softens, and the camera politely frames the couple…in missionary position. This queer yawns.

I can still remember, as a newly out baby dyke back in high school, hungrily reading every piece of lesbian fiction I could get my hands on. Sadly, a lot of what I read back then was less than memorable. But to this day, two wonderful books from that time stand out in my mind. [...]
