Dreams Walking
When I moved to Maine from New York, I didn’t introduce myself in terms of sexual identity. I wasn’t hiding. The question just didn’t feel pressing. A relationship of fifteen years had ended, and I didn’t want another. I had come to Maine to finish several manuscripts begun over my years of activism, scholarship, and […]
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon!
Applause and a standing ovation to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon! In a speech given March 7, 2012 at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, he stood his ground on the violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation. While he stood before the council and spoke to what the council’s purpose was, […]
Your Name on the Big Screen!
“A Perfect Ending” is so close we can taste it. All the final touches are being added and we hope to be up on the big screen this summer ready to knock your socks off – literally. There is so much to be grateful for, especially the ‘Soul Kiss’ Film Family, who have come together […]
Sober, Strong and Queer!
I just got back from the 2012 International AA Women’s Conference. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s an annual gathering of sober women and it’s held in a different city each year. I’ve been to 19 of these meetings in places from Anchorage to Orlando, Portland to New York and Midwest cities in between. […]
Unalienable Rights
I wondered what could I possibly write about in 500 words that could be anything of interest to the readers of Epochalips. Then I thought…I am one of the readers. Why not write what is important to me in the life of the LGBT community? The first thing to come to me was the issue […]
A Moment with the Honorable Vaughn Walker
I am a freelance court reporter. Yesterday, only moments after confirming an assignment with my regular firm for the following day, an 11:00 a.m. hearing at a prominent SF law firm, I got a text message from someone who needed a reporter in Truckee. Damn! It always happens that way. I could have taken that […]
Gender Confessions
Recently I took part in a project regarding gender variances. Contributors were asked to send in photographs of a phrase that described how they identified and then a “confession†revealing something that could be perceived as “off†for someone that identifies as such. I made five submissions: I am genderqueer. I have a vagina….but I […]
We Will Always Love Whitney
I feel deeply saddened by the news of the death of Ms. Whitney Houston. I am going to go out on a limb here because I must. I’ve read some opinions and the sparse details of her death announcement. We’re left waiting for a coroner’s report for the “real†story. What is the “real storyâ€? […]
Transitioning from Straight Male to Lesbian
I have always loved women. Their beauty and grace, their connection and compassion, their communication and loquaciousness are all qualities that I have greatly admired. My mother is a strong feminist who worked hard years ago for the Equal Rights Amendment. Her women friends in the League of Women Voters that I met were singular […]
Zipping through the Bucket List
Okay, people, winter is nigh and you might be thinking of a trip to a place like Costa Rica or some other lush forested locale where you might be tempted to relax, sit by the pool, go to a spa, or try the current vacation craze, a zip line adventure. May the force be with […]
