A ‘Wild Rainbow’ African Safari
Every one who meets Jody Cole is dazzled. From the Makuleke women who cook and clean for the EcoTraining camp in Kruger National Park (where we spent a glorious week) to the young twenty-something student back-up guides who accompanied us on our day long treks with their rifles. It’s impossible not to fall a little […]
A Wild and Precious Day with the NYAD
Diana Nyad has proven that it’s possible to do anything we set our minds on. Diana lives by Mary Oliver’s famous words “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?†When I arrived at Olivia Travel’s week at Club Med Ixtapa a day late, I was horrified to find out that I […]
Fabulosa, the Fab West Coast Women’s Festival!
The first Fabulosa I attended in 2012 was a chance for me to face my fears. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to go, but none of my friends were up for it. I hemmed and hawed, and even pulled my car over halfway there—almost turning back. But I soldiered on, not […]
A Giant Box of Africa
Africa has a way of cracking open your heart. I’m struck by the stark contrast between the lives of blacks and whites, even 20 years after Apartheid. The animals in the game reserves are locked behind electric fences. The South African people can’t get out easily either, the Visa process makes international travel prohibitive to […]
Love and Goodbyes
I’m headed off on a big trip! Going on an Ecoquest Safari in Africa with Jody Cole. I’m on the bus watching people hugging and kissing at the airport drop off zone. I see an older couple give a perfunctory peck on the lips and I think about the last time they might have shared […]
‘Never Give Up!’ – Diana Nyad
Diana Nyad, 64, is an inspirational example of human endurance. As an older woman, out lesbian and amazing athlete, she blows my mind! Diana Nyad just made the swim from Cuba to Florida WITHOUT STOPPING!!! As she arrived on the beach yesterday afternoon, Diana was greeted by hundreds of cheering supporters, many of whom waved […]
Nicole Conn, Lilith’s Merkin & the Next Big Thing
To meet Nicole Conn is to love her. She has been always been big fan of Epochalips, and in 2011, when she invited me down to her movie set in LA while she was filming A Perfect Ending, I jumped at the opportunity. I was welcomed with a warm hug, (managed to catch some amazing […]
God Shave the Queen!
Same-sex marriage comes to the UK! Diana would have been so proud. The Queen’s approval was the final formality necessary for this bill to become law. The new law enables gay couples to get married in both civil and religious ceremonies in England and Wales, provided that the religious institution consents. The Church of England, […]
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 […]
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 […]
