May your Holidays be Mary and Gay!

I went into my sonâ€™s freshman high school class last week as a member of the Spectrumâ€™s LGBT Speakerâ€™s Bureau to help dispel myths about LGBT people and to educate them about the consequences of teen bullying by sharing my story. It was 8:00 am and the kids just stared blankly, with their mouths agape.Â […]

Baby, Its Cold Outside – and Queer in Here!

In 1944 Tony and Pulitzer award-winning songwriter Frank Loesser (â€œGuys & Dollsâ€) wrote â€˜Baby itâ€™s Cold Outsideâ€™ for his wife Lynn and sang it at private parties before selling it to a studio which put it in a movie. It won the 1949 Academy Award for Best Original Song. And it is original. A duet […]

What’s up with MEN?

â€œLet every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.â€ Albert Einstein Iâ€™m a Lesbian Feminist, which means—to me—that Iâ€™m mindful of male privilege in our culture and believe it my social responsibility to educate and be an activist around the harm that patriarchal privilege creates and sustains.Â War, rape, bullying, stock market […]

Halloween – The Great Gay Holiday

Why do Gays and Lesbians love Halloween so? Celebrating Halloween was a longstanding tradition in my family growing up in Northern California. As a child I was allowed to run freeâ€”dressed as a monster or in some sort of boy-themed costume. Candy was like money for us, a commodity that involved trading and counting. The […]

Banding Together Against Bullies

There seems to a generational thing about how well lesbians and gay men are to get along. Certainly not as a general thing because there are exceptions of all sorts. But among people older than me there seems a strange tendency to distrust the other species. This always struck me as strange given that the […]

Troubled Teens – Then and Now

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 love with my […]

Being “Rural Gay”

I lived the majority of my “out” life in major urban areas, from Hollywood to San Francisco, and although I was raised in a rural community in South Texas, I had misgivings about what my life as a lesbian would be in a small rural community in Mendocino County. Eight years ago, my wife and […]

Lesbian Going All the Way – Part 3

I am 63 today and I am involved in a passionate relationship with a 41-year old woman. Being a lesbian is still about holding a space for woman-loving in my personal and public life. It is still about the heady first kiss-this time between two women on a moonlit Hebridean beach. It is about the […]

Lesbian: Going All the Way – Part 2

When I came out in the sixties, “coming out” meant reinventing the world. It meant blowing a hole in the constricting walls of homophobia in my personal life, in my culture and in American politics by living out my woman-loving ways each day. It meant clearing a new and shining path in the world with […]
