Dear Sasha, erm, I don’t even know how to start all this and I really don’t know why I’m writing to you either but…maybe it’s because I don’t like to talk to people about my personal, inner life, not even to my friends and I feel like I need to get certain things out of [...]

Being single at Dinner Parties
By Guest Writer, Effi Mai It’s the Bridget Jones moment all over again when you walk into a room full of happy couples and have to sit on the end of the table. You can’t call it the head of the table like you’re an important guest because you’re only sitting there because you haven’t [...]
Advice For a Texan Lesbian
Hey Sasha, I need some advice and was hoping you could help. Here’s a little of my background… I’m a 21 year old college student from a small town in Texas (conservative ass town with practically no gay scene). In high school I met this guy and felt a lot of pressure from my mom [...]
Advice For Lesbians Who Love Bipolar Chicks
Sasha, I had to write because I can’t explain how much a part of your blog has helped me. The “Bipolar Sasha” blogs have literally helped save my relationship. See, my girlfriend also has bipolar disorder, and I on the other hand am painfully normal. No mania, no adorable quirks, no blind anger. I’m kind [...]
The reflection of the public eye on society: Gay celebrities coming out
By Guest Writer, WWG This past week, three different celebrities – Jillian Michaels, Anne Burrell and Jim Parsons – came out. Or, more so, they acknowledged what was already highly speculated upon – that they are gay. It used to be HUGE news if even one celebrity hinted at bisexuality, and now three, albeit not [...]
How Does Your Lover Identify?
I found this picture online a while ago and was so struck by it, I just saved it. Of course, the first thing I thought was, “Damn, she’s hot.” But then, my brain actually allowed me to read the sign she was holding and thought, “I see a blog coming on!” I mean [...]
Lesbians and Roller Derby
By Guest Writer, K So for those who don’t know J and I recently celebrated our three year anniversary. There was a huge issue over it because it fell in Mother’s Day. A day in which incidentally as a cook I had to work. Not one job. But both of my jobs. I decided that [...]

Player, Cheater or Just Single?
Hey Sasha, I have a question for your readers. I’m having a moral dilemma of sorts. Do you think it’s alright to date two women at once? I’ve never been in this position before and I’m not sure what to do. I can honestly say I like both equally but I don’t know either well [...]

CCL Welcomes ButchKitty
A few days ago, a Facebook friend asked if she could write on CCL. I asked her to send me a writing sample and I’d get back to her. Today I read her first submission and thought to myself, “Well, this is a completely different perspective then any of us on CCL are coming [...]
Going to weddings single

The Blog of Truth: The Dilemma of a Red-Blooded Lesbian
By Guest Writer, WWG She wasn’t my type in the least. It was a business meeting, informal, but still for the purpose of business. My eyes, therefore, were meant to stay at hers. But her top? Well, it kept slipping down to reveal sumptuous cleavage. And, well, I lost the fight. Night. Mare. So, this [...]
The Vanity Files
By Guest Writer, Elegy So as I mentioned earlier I have been in a bit of a funk, and as a result of that I slipped down the Hill of Shame; I stopped eating – I’m a depression induced starver as opposed to eater- and this time I could barely force myself to eat [...]
Butches with Ink
A close friend of ours asked me if I took requests. Do I take requests?? Honey puh-leez! I’m all about pleasing Her question to me was actually more for the femmes in the audience. She kindly asks, “What do femmes think of butches with tattoos?” This by the way, is coming from a super suave, [...]
