The Gift of a Name
My name has been on my mind
all of my life. It's not like when
you're called Mary Jones...perfectly lovely name but not uncommon. Gomez isn't that uncommon either actually;
even Gomes (which is the original spelling) isn't unusual, especially in my
father's Cape Verdean culture. Jewelle, however, is out of the ordinary...View entire story

We Know Lesbian Drama When We See It
Have you seen the new lesbian cop show on TNT this summer? You know,
"Rizzoli & Isles"? I like the not-so-subtle story line of Jane
Rizzoli, a Boston police detective, and Maura Isles, the Boston medical
examiner, being hard-ass professionals on the streets, but in the
evening somehow they end up "accidentally" falling asleep in... View entire story

Sex and the Single Gal
Dear Battle Axe, Have you ever had this happen to you? You see someone, they look
very familiar, you know you know them, but can't remember where? All of a
sudden it dawns on you...you actually had sex with them, triple gainers and all... View entire story

Solo in the Sierras
The only sounds I hear are the crunching of my boot soles as they
connect with the granite on the trail, the steady thumping of my heart,
and the exhale of my labored breath. Once I settle into the rhythm of
climbing up over 11,760 foot Kearsarge Pass other sounds filter into my
awareness. A cacophony of distant waterfalls the music of chirping birds, the flapping wings of... View entire story

She's My Sexy Mama
The age difference bothered her in the beginning, for sure. Having a
partner decades (that sounds jacked up) older can make one and everyone
else wonder what's up...or more appropriately, what's wrong. Well, I can
guarantee you nothing was ever wrong, and from the day that I went after
her... View entire story

The Oldest New Graduate
I went back to school at 50 years old. I may be the oldest new graduate
of a nursing program you have ever met. I tell people that I have
retired into nursing. The thing is, I don't feel anywhere near
retirement age. Actually, after completing my Bachelor's of Science in
Nursing - I feel younger... View entire story

The Kids Are All WRONG!
"The importance of family," seems to resonate with critics
about the film The Kids Are All Right, a story about a lesbian couple with 2
children who seek out their sperm donor. The importance of family? Really?
Is
that why Jules, (Julianne Moore) one of the lesbian moms, starts having crazy
sex with the family's jizz benefactor?! WTF! I'm sick of movies
depicting lesbians as these sex starved women in need of dick. We don't need dick-that's why we're
lesbians. Hey, that would make a great bumper sticker... View entire story |
