Is She the Right One? Lesbian Compatibility 101
Kim and I met at a Paris café, a long time ago. We met there because both of us had picked this particular café as our writing spot. As you probably know, there are zillions of cafés in Paris, one at every street corner. So picking this one, between St. Michel and St. Germain, this […]
Olga Murray and the Nepal Youth Foundation
This week, a remarkable woman was on board with six hundred lesbians on Olivia’s Turkey and Greek Islands Cruise. Her name is Olga Murray and she can teach us all some new insights about how women can make a difference in other women’s lives. When she was in her early sixties, she was trekking in […]
Hey Texas! Laugh with 3 Queer Queens
They say Jeb Bush could get the nominee this time around. They say it could be a dynasty. I say it’s a travesty. The only Bush I want to see in the white house is Hilary’s. Comedy is a great thing. It is a healing thing. When you laugh you disarm yourself and the world. […]
A Bad Lesbian Dating Experience
I’ll sometimes give the benefit of the doubt to a woman when a first date doesn’t always go the way I hoped. After all, people can have bad days, so when Janet’s preferred topic of interest, during our initial meeting, was her puppy I thought she might be nervous or simply excited about the new […]
Hello Kate, Goodbye Dave
Pope John Paul, President Ronald Reagan, David Letterman and I all began our professional careers within six months of each other. Pope John Paul is now a saint whose qualifying miracle was making the pedophilia scandal disappear. Ronald Reagan’s spirit has taken up evil residency in his Badger State mini-me, Scott Walker. David Letterman [retired] […]
Because Lesbians Want To See Good Films
I love women. I find them to be incredibly nuanced, smart, funny, charming and altogether fascinating. I love the way they see the world, the ways they aspire to improve the world and the ways they tirelessly continue the uphill battle for equality in the world. Women can and will make the changes we all […]
Page Hodel’s Glorious ‘Human Heart’
It was an absolutely unforgettable, GLORIOUS day, for so many reasons. One being that it was unexpectedly, deliriously beautiful outside. Not a speck of wind, and with a warm, sweet spring sun. It FELT like a warm summer day. It was Valentine’s Day Sunday and we were heading south to make a ‘Valentine’s Human Heart […]
Pray Away That Gray!
There’s all this controversy these days about “pray the gray away.†What’s the big deal? If I could have my luxurious, silky brown head of hair back, I’d pray until my folded fingers bled. Perhaps this movement started because baby boomers are quickly reaching old age. I don’t know, but it makes little sense to […]
Lesbian Valentine’s Day Do’s and Don’t’s
I was talking to my niece and nephew in Germany about holidays and gifts. The holiday “tyranny,†we like to call it. We have all stopped giving gifts to each other. “But the girls,†my nephew remarked, “they want gifts because it’s romantic.†Christmas is barely over and there’s the next gift-holiday approaching. Valentine’s has […]

This is the story of Col. Pat Thompson and Barbara Brass and the making of Surviving the Silence. In November of 2013, Col. Pat Thompson and I, her wife, Barbara Brass, decided to share our story of living in the invisible world of LGBT members of the US Military. We were the keynote speakers for […]
