A Most Unlikely Lesbian Mother
When I grew up in the 60's as a rough-and-tumble tomboy, I used to fantasize that I still had a choice as to whether I would grow up to be male or female. I was sure that if I ended up as a boy, I'd be shipped off to Vietnam. But if I was a girl–I would have to bear a child—an equally horrifying prospect.
Who are the Lesbian Game Changers?
So here I am, at the pre-Game Changers book party event at Jolene’s queer bar, dancing like a goofball in the ‘boob room’ with a few friends, trying to shake off the jitters before moderating the Game Changer’s panel at Manny’s scheduled for later that evening.
The 1st LGBTQ History Stakeholder Forum!
California made a historic move by being the first state to require LGBT representation in history and social science in K-12 textbooks. The Fair Education Act is a California law passed in 2012 requiring schools to provide accurate, fair, and respectful information about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people throughout history. Along […]
Lesbian Nerds Convene at ClexaCon
Game Changer Kathy Belge and I were invited to do a panel this year at ClexaCon in Las Vegas. We were joined by Charlotte Robinson of Outtakes Voices, and drew quite a large crowd. We talked not only about my new book Game Changers- Lesbians You Should Know About but taught some history about lesbian […]

From my very first Epochalips post in June 2010: “This is the day I’ve been waiting for. This is the day I’ve been working toward. This day is the culmination of all I’ve ever done, said, thought, dreamed of, hoped for and planned. It is here, it is real, and it is mine now. It’s […]

Fabulosa, the Fab West Coast Women’s Festival!
The first Fabulosa I attended in 2012 was a chance for me to face my fears. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to go, but none of my friends were up for it. I hemmed and hawed, and even pulled my car over halfway there—almost turning back. But I soldiered on, not […]
Love and Goodbyes
I’m headed off on a big trip! Going on an Ecoquest Safari in Africa with Jody Cole. I’m on the bus watching people hugging and kissing at the airport drop off zone. I see an older couple give a perfunctory peck on the lips and I think about the last time they might have shared […]
Coming Out For Kids
When I first agreed to go into the classroom as a volunteer speaker for Spectrum, Marin’s LGBT Center, I was terrified. What in the world did I have to say that would make a difference to these kids? I stood up there for the first time and looked into the faces of 20 teenage kids […]
Our Tribe of ‘Soul’ Sisters
Brought together by an idea for a documentary by Marina Rice Bader, and shot by Andrea Meyerson and her crew, a fabulous group of women gathered in Mid-July at the lovely home Marina shares with partner Nicole Conn. The gang was all there: Elaine Sturgess, Shirin Papillon, Cathy Brooks, Fontessa de Ridder, Barbara Niven, Melanie […]
