Are Doughnuts the New Cupcake?
I decided to take my knowledge and experience of life on a side route, a new venture called Tastin’ and a Tellin’. That’s right, it’s a Battle Axe culinary review of some of my favorite foods. First up, donuts! Donuts are an American staple and in some ways you shouldn’t mess with them. They have […]
Paging Dr. House
I still call it the ER even though hospital administrators think the phrase “urgent care†conveys a place that will never have to treat GSWs. I’ve visited quite a few ERs in my life. Boston City Hospital mostly when I was growing up…a friend’s father with one of those Gun Shot Wounds and an uncle […]
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 […]
Coming Out – The Invisible Lesbian
It wasn’t until I told Josh, my 26 year old very fabulous gay boyfriend, about my troubles wearing nail polish that I realized just maybe the world had changed. He simply couldn’t believe it when I mentioned that a girl I had a crush on in college told me my red nails meant I wanted […]
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 […]
Coming Out Story – Leaving Chico
The following is a performance piece in progress. Fall 1978, I’m 19 years old, a sophomore at Chico State University in Northern California. I’m an Art Major and I’m also enrolled in a Fiction Writing Course. I write in the first person as a man and talk about chicks I like to have sex with—foreshadowing. […]
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 […]
What is Biomythography?
My grandmother was a Hollywood star. At least in my mind. She was as glamorous as Dorothy Dandridge or Lauren Bacall. She’d danced and sang in chorus lines in the 1930s and 40s, the lone Indian among the somewhat lighter-skinned ‘Negro’ chorines. She’d faced down low-level mobsters in Boston’s South End and left an abusive […]
My Rutgers University Legacy
Last Friday, Rutgers President Richard McCormick stated that the school had a “strong history of social activism on behalf of diversity†Epochalips received this story just a few days prior to the tragic suicide of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi. Kim Reed was one of the first women to join the Rutgers Gay Alliance in 1979. […]
Ode to Jill Johnston
When I arrived in New York City in 1971 after graduating from college in Boston I knew only two things for sure: I wanted to be a writer and I was a lesbian. I was at a complete loss as to what to do about either of my identities. I was shy so dropping in […]
