The Good, Bad and the Ugly—and the Psychotic
I am a constant reader. When I read fiction I like to be taken out of myself and my everyday existence, to be whisked far from those with whom I am familiar. I like to visit worlds I would otherwise never inhabit, populated by people I would otherwise never encounter. I like a variety of […]
More Sex & the Single Gal
In my 61 years I have learned many things and have some good old-fashioned common sense. Send your questions to Eleanor@lesbiangcemag.com. Dear Battleaxe, Do you think one can and should masturbate even into one’s senior years? I mean ‘with a partner or without’”can the urgency still be there? Dear Inquisitive Senior, Good Goddess! Hell yeah! […]
The Lesbians in the ’70s Conference
I want to share some impressions of the “Lesbians in the ’70s conference” which took place October 8-10 at the CUNY Graduate Center. The conference took place over two almost unbearably intense days. The joint was packed, and not only with lesbians from the ’70s; lots of young, or younger, women were there to learn […]
Courage
What is courage and where do I find it in my life? The movie, “Conviction,†about a woman who battles to free her brother from prison, inspired me to look at my own acts of courage. Like the protagonist, I went to graduate school while going through a divorce and raising children. I also sweated […]
The Missing Identifier
I consider myself gender fluid or gender neutral; a little of both and a lot of neither. Some days I am in the men’s pants, some days I am in the pumps. Most days I should be wearing both (not a good look mind you). If I choose the pants I am denying the pumps […]
Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls? What?
In 1975 when I first saw Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,†there had never been anything like it before on stage. It changed both my personal life as a lesbian and my professional life as a writer. I heard, for the first time, reflected back […]
Let’s Be Honest About Lesbian Birth Control
In my 61 years I have learned many things and have some good old-fashioned common sense. Send your questions to Eleanor@lesbiangcemag.com. Dear Battle Axe, Do you think most people are honest about their weight on their driver’s license or on any other official documents? Weightless in Woodside Dear Weightless, I would say as honest as […]
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 free—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 […]
Lesbian History – DYKE A Quarterly
Penny House and I had been best friends since we were four years old. It was 1975, we were in our mid-twenties, had just recently come out, and were ready to take on the world. All over the United States Lesbians were getting together to make culture – music, theater, art, film, poetry and all […]
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 […]
