Wedding Plans Postponed!
As a lot of you know, our wedding plans have been postponed. Not cancelled. Just postponed. I swear. Part of me is totally bummed but the other part of me is responsible for the delay, so I figure I don’t have the right to be disappointed. Since it’s kind of my fault. Let me start [...]
Lesbian Soccer Players
Posted By Guest Butch, K I’d like to take a moment away from all of our “in-house” controversy and focus on something that I have a great deal of love and respect for. Soccer. Simply put it has taken up a great deal of my life and sadly does not now. I was a goal [...]
Fagbug
Ever since Remi got me my Mini Clubman, I’ve wanted to put a little gay pride decal on the window. Something subtle, like the yellow and blue equal sign or a little rainbow corgi. You know, just something little that other family members would recognize because we always love it when we see other cars [...]
A Picture’s Worth A 1000 Words
This picture has always resonated with me on so many levels. It’s beautiful, hot, sad, tormented and yet still strong. I guess I tend to gravitate towards dark beauty a lot of the time. I would love to have this hanging on a wall in my house. But I had no idea who the artist [...]
The Pronoun Game
Written By Guest Writer, Jolie All right. You’re all awesome; you threw out some great questions and gave me a ton to think/write/talk about. I love it. I think it’s only fair to begin at the beginning, so to speak. Leslie, you’re up. Leslie asked: What is the best way to approach a transman/woman? As [...]
Get Equal
I just found this great site for gay rights and marriage equality. While reading through their site, I found this letter from their director and I wanted to share it with you. Please go to their website, getequal.org and read more about what we can all do to help in the good fight. Dear friends, [...]
My Glass Coffin
Sometimes so much time goes by between episodes I start to think was never really sick. I start to tell myself that maybe I was never really bipolar. Maybe I was just depressed. Maybe all I ever needed was someone like Remi to come into my life and heal me with her love. The healthy, [...]
Bloomington. Another Lesbian Movie.
I wanted to love this movie. I always want to love lesbian films, but I am usually disappointed. Does that make me a traitor? Tonight, Remi rented Bloomington. One of the latest lesbian films being compared to Loving Annabelle. We were immediately happy with the actress playing the slightly older Professor Stark. Tall, hot blonde [...]
Broken Silence
Posted By Guest Writer, Jolie! Well, hello there, CCL! Oh, how I’ve missed you! Don’t worry, I’m not going to spend a lot of time giving you a bunch of lame excuses about where I’ve been or why I haven’t been writing. I’m insane and I’m a flake. The end. So since I’m not going [...]
Butch on Butch Hostility
Sasha’s recent issues and curiosities about femme on femme hostility have led me to examine my own brand of hostility that tends to surface. Butch on butch. blech. I have a hard time getting along with butches, some I’m ok with. Some tend to overstep their boundaries with J. Some I just can’t stand because [...]
Chivalry is not dead, but is it unwanted?
As a perfect compliment to my last blog about aggressive femmes, I recently received an email from a butch reader. Dear Sasha, What is up with femmes getting mad at me for opening doors for them?! I’m just trying to be nice and show I respect them. Why am I getting yelled at for it? [...]
Aggressive femmes
I’ve had several readers write to me asking advice on the same topic. They all wanted to know if they were the only aggressive femme in the world and was there anything wrong with being a femme that took control in the bedroom or in the relationship? Well, to that I say, you are most [...]
Gay Family Photo Time
Have you ever searched online for lesbian and gay art, but the only images that popped up were sexually explicit images that had nothing to do with art or our community? Well there are some really great lesbian artists and photographers out there. And one of them is Alix Smith. I’ve blogged about her before [...]
Lesbian Wife With a Princess Problem
I have what they call, “a princess problem.” Some of you may remember that when Remi proposed to me eight months ago, she put a gorgeous 4.65 carat, pink sapphire ring on my hand. Which I adore. Every time I look down at it, it makes my heart smile. But I don’t wear it very [...]
