Recently, I was at a daytime event with a bunch of gay boys. At first, I was the only woman there. I outed myself very quickly, thinking the gay card would make them more comfortable with and interested in talking to me. Not really so. We all chatted and it was fun, but it became [...]

“A post-mortem of our former selves”
By Guest Writer, WWG I recently read an article on Huffington Post GayVoices by Jincey Lumpkin called “Lying About Being a Lesbian? My Ex-Boyfriend’s Response” . In it, she asks an ex-boyfriend of hers questions about their relationship and his response to it all, including after she came out. I couldn’t help but think about [...]
The Gift
By Guest Writer, WWG About a month ago, a friend tried to call me. I was at work, so I had to send her immediately to voicemail. I texted her to find out what was up, as she wasn’t one to normally call me. Her response? “My boyfriend is married and lied to me [...]
Gay Girls Have Dads Too
By Guest Writer, WWG In the past, there’s been the assumption that lesbians are man-haters. There’s the idea that they had a horrible father or a worse mother, or perhaps some dude did her wrong and she turns to women as an escape. For as many lesbians there are around the world – and in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Changing the closet
By Guest Writer, WWG It’s the cry of most women, no matter whether they have only a suitcase’s worth of stuff, or enough closets to make Mariah Carey and Imelda Marcos jealous – “I have nothing to wear!” I admit, I’m more the latter, but this was what came out of my mouth when I [...]
Left Behind
By guest blogger, WWG This blog post is going to get me into miles of trouble. I know this in my heart before I even send it to Sasha. I wrote something similar previously and then rescinded it. But I need to get it out there. And I’ve thickened my skin to take on whatever [...]
Presumed Straight
By Guest Blogger, WWG It started with a comment on a facebook status. It moved to facebook chat. Then, when facebook chat no longer worked, it moved to gchat. It was a pleasant and lovely conversation with a former classmate, who I knew starting in elementary school. We won’t go into how weird I find [...]
The History Of Marriage
As a great follow up to Down with DOMA, WWG sent me this video. Al Franken Fact Checks Chuck Grassley: Marriage Has Evolved Over Time This morning, in a vote of 10 to 8, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and allow [...]
Real Age vs. Dating Age as a Lesbian
By Guest Writer, WWG I like being single. I’m proud to say I enjoy my own company, and I’m comfortable and confident enough in my skin that I’ve never needed a relationship to make me happy. On the contrary, my relationships often made me feel quite unhappy. A large part of that is of course [...]
She’s One of You & Now She’s Writing FOR You!
I am so happy to give you our newest guest writer’s introduction, in her own words. When I saw that Sasha was looking for new writers, I was thrilled and immediately jumped to respond. When she said yes to me, my first thought was “oh dear, what will I write about?” Truth be told, [...]
