DJ Rockaway Rocks the House!

I love to dance. I just HAVE to! And DJ Rockaway is the DJ that keeps me dancing. She stepped up to DJ our big Epochalips party for Nicole Conn’s movie premiere of ‘A Perfect Ending’ last year at Frameline. She got me to jump in the pool TWICE (with most of my clothes on) […]

Have We Come a Long Way, Baby?

I recently went to hear a conversation between feminist icons Gloria Steinem and Letty Cotten Pogrebin and felt lucky that they were still around to reflect on from whence we’ve come. Both in their seventies, have survived cancer and were discussing how to care for loved ones who are ill without becoming a pain in […]

It’s Here: My 50th High School Reunion

Fifty years was an unimaginable amount of time when I was 17 and now, like a thunderbolt, that long stretch of life is behind me. My best friend from high school is going to the reunion with her halo of wild dark hair gone white â€“ like mine. What will she see? Trim athletes now […]

Remembering Lynnly

Ever had a friend who was with you through thick and thin, taught you important things, exasperated you, but led you through each stage of life feeling like you were running to keep up? Well I had that with Lynnly Labovitz. Today is her birthday and I woke up thinking I should try to be […]

Gender Fluid on the Rocks

Recently I informed a friend that I was looking girly and she replied: “What does that mean? You have flowers in your jockstrap?” How dare her! I wear boxers. It’s true–I’m masculine and feminine. I poke and I like to get poked. When I was a young lass of five with my short pixie haircut, […]

Lesbian Dating: Building Trust

Recently I talked with two women, â€œSusanâ€ and â€œKaren.â€Â They had just started dating a couple months before, and seemed quite in lust. They were glowing and giggling, until the issue of â€œtrustâ€ came up. Susan:Â I just wish Karen would trust me more.Â She just canâ€™t let herself lean on me.Â Sheâ€™s been hurt […]

On Toni Morrison and Ntozake ShangÃ©

Part 7 of a conversation between Feminist icons Margie Adam and Jewelle Gomez: JG: I really like writing about anything before the 60s – partly because there aren’t that many people alive who will complain. But also because there’s still a level of hope that people of color have. It hasn’t all devolved into cynicism […]

Finger Exercises?

There was nothing I couldnâ€™t talk about with Granny, who died two years ago at 103.Â I asked her when she was in her early nineties.Â If she could have chosen a different life, if she could have been with women, would she have? â€œYes, I think soâ€ she said. Â “So did you ever think of […]

Stop Embarrassing Yourself. Read This!

Dear Battle Axe, I don’t feel old, in fact, most people don’t believe I’m in my mid-60s! Do you have a list of ‘do’s & dont’s’ to help keep my age a secret? Dear Hiding, Rule #1 If you wear glasses, use frames to hide the bags under your eyes. But beware, your glasses might […]

Silence is Not a Virtue

Silence is NOT a virtue. I don’t know much about life but I know a lot about love. I don’t know how to split atoms, I don’t split body from mind, but Iâ€™ve split many infinitives and I split my gut laughing. O hell, Iâ€™ve been splitting fine hairs with tradition for years. I don’t […]
