The Great Gay Holiday
Why do Gays and Lesbians love Halloween? We just do. It’s the one time of year that cross-dressing is enjoyed by all. Lesbian poet and scholar Judy Grahn, calls Halloween “the great gay holiday.” I love dressing up, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and the whole spooky deal. I hope I never grow out of the thrill of […]

Out Female Rapper – Young Kaii
I first learned about Young Kaii (formerly K Star) when I was driving home from the Rock the Bells Rap Festival last year with my son and two of his friends in tow. One of the friends, a 14 year old girl, was telling me about a rapper “boy†who she thought was really good […]
Troubled Teens, Then and Now
FROM THE ARCHIVES: National Coming Out Day is over this year, but homophobia is still ongoing. This week a 13-year-old kid hung himself in the schoolyard at the same middle school that I attended. I remember my days in 8th grade there and how I desperately tried to pretend that I was NOT achingly in […]
Scared Little Dyke Writer

Risk Takers and History Makers
The moment a creative idea is birthed is always memorable one. Four years ago when I originally thought of making a feature documentary film on the life and art of writer, activist and poet Alice Walker, my excitement was palpable. Why hadn’t this occurred to me before? The idea was conceived over a Christmas break […]
The Butch Sewing Kit
I don’t know about butch guys, but butch women are a mass of incongruities. I used to know a butch who drove cement trucks for a living and was a minister in her free time. You don’t just drive a cement truck, you’re out there with the boys using your rake and shovel. You don’t […]
