Apparently since there’s so much money to be made in the lucrative lesbian bloggers’ market these days, coupled with the fact that it’s soooooooo hard as a straight white man to have your voice heard… in the course of 24 hours last week it was uncovered that two lesbian bloggers ended up being, gasp, straight […]
Hi, my name is Long Island Mary. I’m middle aged, divorced and I live with my 85 year old mother in Florida. Oh yeah, and I’m a Lesbian. Growing up, the signs were there. I cried like a baby the first day of kindergarten when my Mom put a dress on me. In every old […]
I was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas sixty-three years ago and have spent my whole life trying to unlearn everything I was told mattered. On the outside my parents and I had a fantastic life; sailing, swimming, tennis, traveling and living all over the world. My father was a career man in the Air Force […]
My brother-in-law, Chris Priolo, was a shining light in our family. He was a passionate, gifted composer and teacher, who was one of those guys who was larger than life; everyone wanted to be around him and hear what he had to say. That’s why he was such a great teacher – his classes were […]
The desert is still in me: the shadowed cabin, the sandy ground etched with silhouettes of Joshua trees and blossoming oleanders. I feel as if I am at the end of a road, at a place where no one has been for a long time. The wind blows and the afternoon is beaten down by […]

The sex manuals, videotape series, and Cosmopolitan-type magazine articles for heterosexual women do not contain lesbian-specific tips and may be misleading, and the lesbian-specific sex books and videos are geared to a much younger audience. So what is the older lesbian to […]
When my friend Judy died, at 55, of metastatic breast cancer, I realized my life was three-fourths over. I did algebra in my head to arrive at this conclusion, eventually resorting to penciling the backs of envelopes with equations, x over 100 equals 55 (my age) over my estimated death at 75. This would be […]
What a great honor to be asked to contribute to Epochalips. And even better to get to write about LOVE . With Valentines day so quickly approaching, it seems like the retail world will not disappoint us with this years monsoon of red heart rain. Of all the holiday commercial blanketing we must endure I […]
Ugandan Gay rights activist David Kato was asleep in bed when an unknown assassin entered his home and beat him to death with a hammer. Uganda is a country that was the target of several decades of fundamentalist Christian proselytizing that featured the strongest condemnation of same sex love, combined with affirmation of the threat […]
My first ‘long term’ college relationship lasted almost three years. Annie was a sailor born and raised on the Jersey shore. Her last name was Italian, but her world was in a universe very different from the popular cable TV show. Her Sicilian American father held the highest civilian security clearance in the local military […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
