You are a comedian, actress and playwright, tell us a little about your background and how you got started. MG: My parents were both respected performers in the Latino community in New York City. My dad was a comedian and producer. My mom was a dancer and actress. I’m a lousy dancer but I was […]
The Great Gay Holiday
Why do Gays and Lesbians love Halloween? We just do. It’s the one time of year that cross-dressing is enjoyed by all. Lesbian poet and scholar Judy Grahn, calls Halloween “the great gay holiday.” I love dressing up, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and the whole spooky deal. I hope I never grow out of the thrill of […]
Out Female Rapper – Young Kaii
I first learned about Young Kaii (formerly K Star) when I was driving home from the Rock the Bells Rap Festival last year with my son and two of his friends in tow. One of the friends, a 14 year old girl, was telling me about a rapper “boy†who she thought was really good […]
Troubled Teens, Then and Now
FROM THE ARCHIVES: National Coming Out Day is over this year, but homophobia is still ongoing. This week a 13-year-old kid hung himself in the schoolyard at the same middle school that I attended.

Dating 101

Exclusive Interview with Meredith Baxter
Meredith Baxter is best known for her role as Alyse Keaton, where she played a strong female lead in a popular sitcom at a time where there weren’t many.  Of course I originally fell in love with her on Bridget Loves Bernie, and always noticed her in The Partridge family or Love Boat episodes, and ah […]

If you are looking for something amazing to do this summer, don’t miss the series of benefit concerts sponsored by Sweet in Calistoga.

Help Leta Beat the Odds and Reach Her Goal
Is there anything in your life that you thought, “I’d like to do that,” or “That’s a dream of mine,”? It seems that there are two choices: 1) you do it, or 2) you don’t. Pretty simple. Leta Sharpe came to that crossroads, as many of us do. Leta is a 42 year old single […]
2011 RISD Grad a Gay Role Model
Last week I attended my niece’s graduation from Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI. I’ve been a graphic designer for over 30 years and this crop of graduates filled me with excitement about a new generation of talented artists, photographers and designers.
