New Play Celebrates LGBT Asian Americans
I first started working on my play Sun Sisters years ago, and it had readings in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. With each reading, I rewrote based on what I heard and the subsequent audience feedback. In 2008, it won East West Players Pacific Century Playwriting Competition. It’s been a long road, and now, […]
Terry Wolverton’s New Novel: Stealing Angel
Terry Wolverton interviews herself for Epochalips about her new novel, Stealing Angel: TW: Hey, Terry, congratulations on your new book! Why don’t you tell us about it? Terry: Have you ever done something bad, really bad, but for a good reason? That’s where Maggie Seaver, my protagonist, finds herself. She’s recently lost custody of the […]
Prop 8 Love Stories Heads to Off-Broadway
Written by San Francisco Bay Area kids age 10-17 from interviews with eight couples (five gay, three straight) Prop 8 Love Stories is about LOVE, LIFE, and DISCRIMINATION. The play (featuring Sally Miller Gearhart and Phyllis Lyon as interviewees)Â is so moving and hilarious it is now heading to off-Broadway in NYC. These kids are the […]
Nicole Conn – Twenty Years of Filmmaking
When Nicole Conn released her landmark film, Claire of the Moon in 1992, the landscape was practically void of other lesbian-themed movies. Nearly 20 years later, a sprinkling of movies with queer themes has made it to the main stream: Brokeback Mountain, Boys Don’t Cry, The Kids are Alright. But the field is still so […]
It Takes Work to Relax
“You need to relax,†my spouse warned after finding me pole vaulting over the furniture, screaming about politics, the price of gas and other indignities. “Maybe you need a massage.†Maybe, but I confess I’m intimidated by the world of massage therapists and their hot stones and new age music. Between my brain and my […]
Coming Out After Thirty
I’m a middle aged lesbian who lives with my Mom in Florida. How did I get here? I was supposed to stay in her condo for a couple of months after I moved down from New York, following my divorce. Wonder why that marriage didn‘t work out? I was going to get established and then […]
The Hangover: Part II, Transphobic?
So what’s the deal with The Hangover: Part II? I went to see the movie prior to reading any reviews or articles on it. I admit my opinion can be swayed, especially by negative feedback. The movie itself was about as shallow and unimpressive as the first one, but sometimes we just need a stupid […]
Sober Sister Turns 30
I’ve been clean and sober a long time. In fact, on June 4th it was 30 years since my last drink or recreational drug. Truly a lifetime. I was 28 years old when I sought recovery, but like everyone, had no idea what I was getting myself into. I just wanted to learn how to […]
Lez Get REAL Lesbians
Apparently since there’s so much money to be made in the lucrative lesbian bloggers’ market these days, coupled with the fact that it’s soooooooo hard as a straight white man to have your voice heard… in the course of 24 hours last week it was uncovered that two lesbian bloggers ended up being, gasp, straight […]
Oh Yeah…I’m a Lesbian
Hi, my name is Long Island Mary. I’m middle aged, divorced and I live with my 85 year old mother in Florida. Oh yeah, and I’m a Lesbian. Growing up, the signs were there. I cried like a baby the first day of kindergarten when my Mom put a dress on me. In every old […]
