A Mulligan for NCLR
A mulligan—not to be confused with a mullet—most simply put, is a “do-over,” if you hit a bad shot in the sport of golf. Mulligans were popping up everywhere at the “Lina Shore Golf Classic†charity event that ran concurrently with the famous lesbian-filled Dinah Shore weekend extravaganza and the Kraft Nabisco professional woman’s golf […]
Nicole Conn and Why You Can’t Fake It
It was a sunny warm March day when I walked on to the set of Nicole Conn’s new movie A Perfect Ending. You know Nicole—she is responsible for Claire of the Moon and more recently Elena Undone—the story about falling in love with her partner Marina Bader, who is the executive producer on both new […]
Meredith’s Comes “Untied†in the Castro
Meredith Baxter arrived at Books Inc last night, accompanied by son Peter and partner Nancy’s older sister, slipping quietly though the side door. After a long day of Bay Area Radio and TV appearances, she was greeted by a gaggle of adoring fans, peppering her with questions and later waiting patiently to get their books […]
Reasons to Love Jane Lynch
I first noticed the queerness in Jane as Harrison Ford’s best friend in The Fugitive. She has always had a self-possessed manner that says “dyke†to me but really just means she’s a strong woman with a wicked sense of humor and a deadpan delivery. Ten years ago she burst into mainstream popularity in her […]
Beach Party Blow-Out
Last summer I drove down to Southern California from the Bay Area to take part in a beach party event and promote Epochalips. I grabbed my surfboard, picked up Monica Palacios in Venice beach and headed down the coast. Apparently, there was a last minute change in location and a mix up in communication. We […]
Meredith Comes ‘Untied’
Meredith Baxter is an amazing woman. I met her about a year ago on the Sweet Cruise where she and girlfriend Nancy Locke came out publicly as a couple and then returned home to come out to the world at large. I knew she was planning on coming out soon, but when she came home […]
May your Holidays be Mary and Gay!
I went into my son’s freshman high school class last week as a member of the Spectrum’s LGBT Speaker’s Bureau to help dispel myths about LGBT people and to educate them about the consequences of teen bullying by sharing my story. It was 8:00 am and the kids just stared blankly, with their mouths agape. […]
Halloween – The Great Gay Holiday
Why do Gays and Lesbians love Halloween so? Celebrating Halloween was a longstanding tradition in my family growing up in Northern California. As a child I was allowed to run free—dressed as a monster or in some sort of boy-themed costume. Candy was like money for us, a commodity that involved trading and counting. The […]
Troubled Teens – Then and Now
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. I remember my days in 8th grade there and how I desperately tried to pretend that I was NOT achingly in love with my […]
