Pray Away That Gray!

Pray Away That Gray!

There’s all this controversy these days about “pray the gray away.” What’s the big deal? If I could have my luxurious, silky brown head of hair back, I’d pray until my folded fingers bled. Perhaps this movement started because baby boomers are quickly reaching old age. I don’t know, but it makes little sense to […]

Yes Virginia, There is an Equality Clause

Yes Virginia, There is an Equality Clause

(With apologies to Virginia O’Hanlon and Francis P. Church, I have co-opted the “Dear Virginia” story from 1897. Its message reaches far and wide, with regard to beliefs and conviction of life’s truth.) Dear Editor, I am 53 years old. I have lived my whole life thinking there is an Equality Clause.

Never Too Old to Demand Your Rights

Never Too Old to Demand Your Rights

 I remember the day after the 2008 election, thinking that animals had more rights than I, because we had lost the battle to save marriage for everyone, but farm animals had won the right not to be caged. I also remember how, in 2004, when Mayor Newsom had proclaimed that same sex marriage was […]

Here Come The Lesbians!

Here Come The Lesbians!

Back in 1977, Sue Fink wrote a song called, “Here Come the Lesbians.” Thirty-three years later, the march of lesbians has arrived and is growing — loud, proud, and out. This fact struck me while I was watching the opening night ceremony for the Winter Olympics, when k.d. lang appeared center stage, larger than life, […]
