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 […]
A Special Life
I was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas sixty-three years ago and have spent my whole life trying to unlearn everything I was told mattered. On the outside my parents and I had a fantastic life; sailing, swimming, tennis, traveling and living all over the world. My father was a career man in the Air Force […]
Help Leta Beat the Odds and Reach Her Goal
Is there anything in your life that you thought, “I’d like to do that,” or “That’s a dream of mine,”? It seems that there are two choices: 1) you do it, or 2) you don’t. Pretty simple. Leta Sharpe came to that crossroads, as many of us do. Leta is a 42 year old single […]
Happy Birthday Lynnly
It would have been my friend Lynnly’s 57th birthday yesterday, June 13th, had she survived her long battle with breast cancer. She was the funniest, silliest, corniest, as well as the most intractable, capricious, argumentative and infuriating person I have ever known. Even when she got serious about things, she was rarely introspective, instead spending […]

Gertrude is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose
Which, of course, includes thorns. But what good icon doesn’t have thorns? The exhibition at San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum “Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories†is a stunning evocation of the lesbian writer, art collector (a companion exhibition of her family’s collection is at SFMOMA), and cultural visionary. She’s one of the first literary lesbians […]
The Rapture and the Big “O”
Dear Battleaxe, May 21st 2011 came and went with no Rapture. The 21st was supposed to be Judgement Day. I really didn’t believe anything was going to happen but I did make sure my affairs were in order and I went to confession. What do you think happened? —Always prepared Dear Always Prepared, The only […]
Let Love Out!
My brother-in-law, Chris Priolo, was a shining light in our family. He was a passionate, gifted composer and teacher, who was one of those guys who was larger than life; everyone wanted to be around him and hear what he had to say. That’s why he was such a great teacher – his classes were […]
