Remembering Lynnly
Ever had a friend who was with you through thick and thin, taught you important things, exasperated you, but led you through each stage of life feeling like you were running to keep up? Well I had that with Lynnly Labovitz. Today is her birthday and I woke up thinking I should try to be […]
The ‘Magnificent’ Zero Mile Diet
I met Lea Kitler and Diane ‘Dee’ Doiron on the recent Olivia trip 40th anniversary cruise to the Caribbean. They told me about their wonderful farm “Magnificent Hill†in Highland Grove, Ontario. On the ‘Hill’, these women not only grow their own organic fruits and vegetables, but also raise goats, pigs, and chickens, make soap, […]
Comedy for Equality IN / Michelle Shocked OUT
After Michele Shocked‘s recent homophobic rant in San Francisco, HopMonk Tavern owner Dean Biersch cancelled her scheduled March 29th show. That’s good news for North Bay queer comedy lovers. Marga Gomez stepped up to co-headline with Johnny Steele and entire door proceeds go to my favorite local organization, Spectrum LGBT Center, serving the North Bay. (Read […]
Mariah and The Real Dinah
I’ve known Mariah since the early Club Skirts days when we were fresh-faced blondies in our early twenties. both of us were ready to take on the world. But our paths took very different routes. Mine included a long-term relationship, two kids and a career in advertising. Mariah’s path was one that would change the […]
Don’t Miss ‘Pearlesque’ – The Party of the Year!
Over the past several years I’ve had the good fortune of volunteering for Spectrum LGBT Center, serving my local community in the North Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Spectrum was founded in 1982 by Rev. Janie Spahr, a lesbian Presbyterian minister who is being prosecuted by her own church for marrying gay couples. […]
Dr. Frankie’s Little Gay Book
I kept running into Frankie at countless events this summer. Whether it was Zuni Cafe during Pride, the SF LGBT Center’s 10 year Soiree, the NCLR bash or a golf tournament for the Horizon’s foundation, Frankie was omnipresent. She told me about her unique niche business providing lesbian matchmaking services. Who knows? She may already […]
Coming Out For Kids
When I first agreed to go into the classroom as a volunteer speaker for Spectrum, Marin’s LGBT Center, I was terrified. What in the world did I have to say that would make a difference to these kids? I stood up there for the first time and looked into the faces of 20 teenage kids […]
Stacy Poulos and Girlpages Network
Epochalips interviews Stacy Poulos about her phenomenal resource site Girlpages Network. E: What is your background and what lead you to start Girlpages Network? SP: Truthfully I’m a latecomer. I came from the straight world and everything in it. As a lesbian, the privileges I had experienced being straight suddenly changed. I wanted to open […]
‘A Perfect Ending’ World Premier!
Every once in a while there is a special love story captured on film that really speaks to my heart. But, as a lesbian, 99% of the time I have to use my imagination to enjoy love scenes (with opposite sex lead actors) and find them sexy. Simply put, there are not enough lesbian love […]
