Marina Bader on ‘Anatomy of a Love Seen’
ON WHAT MAKES ANATOMY OF A LOVE SEEN UNIQUE: LOVE. It’s the thing everyone wants, and once you find it you will feel your highest highs and your lowest lows. If you had it and lost it there is a hole in your heart, and you can only hope and pray that through time that […]
Let’s Talk about Sex and Orgasms
One morning in my office a woman told me her biggest fear about beginning to date again was about sex; specifically, how to deal with the fact that orgasm had been so difficult with her last partner, and she just didn’t want to go through that again. That afternoon, another woman told me that she’d […]
NCLR 2014 – Oh What a Night
It’s an honor to be a part of changing the world. I’ve been a donor, volunteer and champion for this organization for many years and have rarely missed one of their glorious annual celebrations. This years dinner and party for the National Center for Lesbian Rights was different than ever before. There was more joy, […]
Don’t Miss ‘Breaking Through’ Documentary
In 2001, Karla Drenner became a member of the Georgia state House of Representatives. I looked her up on Wikipedia and one descriptor states, “A lesbian, Drenner was the first openly gay member of the Georgia State Assembly.” Today she is one of four LGBT members, alongside Reps. Simone Bell and Keisha Waites, all Atlanta […]
Marriage is a Trickster
Excerpt from Lesbian Marriage: A Sex Survival Kit By Kim Chernin and Renate Stendhal Marriage is not the remedy for couple trouble! But there is a lot of magical and wishful thinking about it: marriage will give you a new start, fix your problems, fulfill your dreams… It’s the myth of the “Make-Over Marriage.†(Should […]
Will You Be My Date?
It’s that time of the year again. Making dolls out of old pantyhose? No-it’s Prom. Woo-hoo! I had no intention in going to my Junior Prom 1976. Although all my gal friends were excited about this high school tradition, I thought it was dumb and too girly. But my serious party friends Lolita, Laurie and […]
The Juicy Lesbian Novel from Days Gone By
Gone Are the Days of Flashlight, Sheet Over Head and that Juicy Lesbian Novel. Yes, ladies, we have come a long way from pulp lesbian novels like I Prefer Girls by Jessie Dumont to The Girls in 3-B by Valerie Taylor. Crest Books brought us some of the campiest stories of forbidden love and, if […]
Being Loving Creates More Love
Recently I attended a couples’ therapy training program, which was terrific–research-based, positive, practical.   And unexpectedly depressing, as they showed videos of elderly heterosexual couples holding hands and talking tenderly about their 50-70 years of wedded bliss.  How many us can identify? Never mind the sexual orientation–how many of us have that many years in that […]
Need a Lift?
I eagerly watched a late night PBS show about television comediennes (no we don’t really need a feminization of the word comedian), happy to catch a glimpse the classic bits of humour that filled the airwaves as I was coming of age. Carol Burnett’s parody of Gone With The Wind in which she wears curtains […]
What Watching Lesbian Films Taught Me
Acknowledging ones lesbianism is not like smacking yourself on the head and saying, “gee, I could’ve had a V-8â€. For some of us its that gnawing feeling that you know you just aren’t like the rest of the girls who giggled and pined over the high school quarterback. You pined over the homecoming queen. You […]
