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 my woman
lover for other lesbians and gay people to walk - to be visible...

We All Want to Go to Heaven
"Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." That song,
whether you go w/the Albert King or the Loretta Lynn version, is one of
my favorite aphorisms. Twenty years after publication of my vampire
novel, THE GILDA STORIES, it's still in print and readers still ask me
for more stories. Vampires are...View entire story

Handsome Lady in a Hat
Back in Spring of this year, I purchased a man's black hat, something
your grandfather would wear: a cotton/polyester blend with the narrow
brim upturned in the back. Actually come to think of it, my sombrero
resembles the hat Pinocchio wears in the Disney movie-minus the little
feather. Yeah those Oktoberfest hats-you know the ones...

My Murphy Brown Pregnancy I was the most unlikely woman to bear a child that I've ever heard of. 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...View entire story

Restless Leg Syndrome
& Worn Out Bras
Dear Battleaxe,
My partner was recently diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and
the medication her doctor prescribed to her is making her do kooky
things.
I'm somewhat mystified by her behavior.

She's My Wife and Yes We're Married
An interesting thought occurred to me today. Something that has
irked me over and over again, but no light had been shed upon the
reasons behind it until now. It finally all makes sense.
Georgia introduced me to some old friends of her's today as her wife.
And what followed is painfully common, "Oh, you got married?"...View entire story

Safari Dreams
Africa can be a dream vacation, as it was for me. I thought I would
just go, check it off my 'bucket list' and come home. But what happened
to me is what happens for so many of my guests on safari. They walk
through a door they never can, nor want to, close again. Once you have
been touched by the world outside of our bubble of Western Civilization,
the way you live your life...

Lesbian: Going All The Way- Part 1
By the time I reached my 15th birthday, I was old. I smoked unfiltered
Camel cigarettes and I had had sex with most of the boys in the
neighborhood including my younger brother. I had mastered the public
transport system so I could escape the stifling little town I lived in.
Early every Saturday morning I boarded the Greyhound bus for the freedom
of Santa Barbara, the big city to the south with its outdoor beatnik
cafe. There I sat all day long drinking black tea...View entire story |
