What I Have in Common with David Wojnarowicz
Last November, the edited ACT UP version of David Wojnarowicz’s artwork video, A Fire in My Belly, was removed from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Show, Hide/Seek Difference and Desire in American Portraiture, because it offended conservative Rep. John Boehner and The Catholic League. Its removal offended almost everyone else who cares about art and […]
A Lesbian Child is a Gift
When I was very young, I was given a Batman utility belt for Christmas. It was a wonderful gift for a lesbian child. The wide plastic belt clipped on important tools and accessories. A tiny metal flashlight with the black bat sign over a grey metal shaft shone a light beam across the tip top […]
Helen of Sparta
Of course, there is Helen. Helen of Troy. Helen of Sparta. Helen of the golden-hair and honey-voice. Helen of the swan-neck, the white arms, the silver-sandals. Helen of the terrible beauty. Helen of the thousand ships. Helen of the rosy dawn of history, six hundred years, more or less, before Sappho. That Helen. Helen, before […]
Yes Virginia, There is an Equality Clause
(With apologies to Virginia O’Hanlon and Francis P. Church, I have co-opted the “Dear Virginia†story from 1897. Its message reaches far and wide, with regard to beliefs and conviction of life’s truth.) Dear Editor, I am 53 years old. I have lived my whole life thinking there is an Equality Clause. Many of my […]
The Good, Bad and the Ugly—and the Psychotic
I am a constant reader. When I read fiction I like to be taken out of myself and my everyday existence, to be whisked far from those with whom I am familiar. I like to visit worlds I would otherwise never inhabit, populated by people I would otherwise never encounter. I like a variety of […]
The Lesbians in the ’70s Conference
I want to share some impressions of the “Lesbians in the ’70s conference” which took place October 8-10 at the CUNY Graduate Center. The conference took place over two almost unbearably intense days. The joint was packed, and not only with lesbians from the ’70s; lots of young, or younger, women were there to learn […]
Courage
What is courage and where do I find it in my life? The movie, “Conviction,†about a woman who battles to free her brother from prison, inspired me to look at my own acts of courage. Like the protagonist, I went to graduate school while going through a divorce and raising children. I also sweated […]
You had me at…
It was a most perfect day, a Saturday to be exact, in on the patio of El Rio for Chantal’s Mango T-Dance. I hadn’t been out partying for quite a while. The day was special because I was with friends, the sun was radiant, in the company of a sea of women and listening to […]
Politics and Rural Gays
Well, elections are all over and California didn’t do too badly. We hear about Jerry Brown, Rick Perry, the big elections, but there were a lot of local elections which were nasty and for all of us in rural world, thankfully over. When you’re in a small town, you actually know your candidates. They walk […]
Menopausal Madness!
The bed is on fire. I am on fire. I am hot. My hair is dripping wet as if I’ve just stepped out of the shower. The bedclothes are a tangled mess around me. I kick them out of the way and fall into a fitful sleep only to awaken several hours later cold and […]
