Michael Sam and the Meaning of Masculinity
If an out gay man can be in a football locker room the question isn’t: should the guys hide their junk—the real question is what is masculinity? How much of that destructive, artificial construction will we continue to abide by? Men who work in jobs that depend heavily on the myths of masculinity are always […]
Mean People Still Suck
Once when I had been brought up short by lurid graffiti freshly scratched on a new bathhouse on Cape Hatteras, an old, sand-blasted woman came up behind me, looked for a minute, shook her head and sighed, “How kin people be so mean?†As Congress cut food stamps and debated extending unemployment insurance, I found […]
From The Brakettes to Gay Games to Sochi
We’re glazed in, said a neighbor. Ice, freezing rain, snow, winds. The streets are sheathed in a thin, treacherous layer of ice. In the yard the fat little dog crunches through the ice, then sinks into snow, one paw, two paws, three paws, four. In Sochi, Russia, the Winter Olympics go gayly forward. Heck, they […]

Dear Battle-axe, How can you tell if someone has been on a Booty Call? Dear Curious About a Booty Call, I just saw this Sunday morning, and I am going to say this is true. When you see someone with a coat, no clothes underneath and a hula hoop. Dear Battle-axe, How far should I […]
Do Lesbians Know How to Sing & Dance?
A few years ago I got hooked on the web series Girl Trash. It was geared to a young “Lip Service†kind of audience who had fallen in love with the dynamic and love struck sterile couple called Spashley on South of Nowhere. I was curious to see what Angela Robinson would do with her just released […]
A Guide to Going Top Free
Aside from being perpetually bare-chested at home when it’s sweltering out, my two most recent topfree moments this week were: changing shirts at the booth I was staffing at the SF Marathon Expo (with my back turned), and taking my shirt off on a trail while my friend fixed his flat. People’s reactions? Well, I […]
I Wish I Could Quit You
It’s a great time of year for reflecting on what works well in your life and what doesn’t.  What to continue, or quit doing?   Some things seem obvious—addictive drinking, smoking, and eating are all bad for your health, so it would be good to quit. It’s just hard to do.  At least you can know […]
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 […]

E: Lesbians Who Tech is a fantastic idea! Tell us a little about it including what led you to become the founder of this groundbreaking organization. LP: My road to Lesbians Who Tech started when I was a “professional gayâ€, working at Equality California. I saw first-hand that the majority of donors were men, and […]
