So there is this website I ran across and fell in love with. It’s called the The Feminist eZine. It’s chocked full of articles pertaining to feminism, both historically and currently. It brought me back to my old college days of hanging out with all my women’s study friends and wondering why none of them [...]

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 [...]
The Long Arm of DOMA
On the heels of the 3rd anniversary of Prop 8 passing, Remi came home today with some disheartening news from her work. We already knew that since she works for a federal agency, there was a good chance that they wouldn’t offer any domestic partner benefits. But over the last few years, we had heard [...]
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 [...]

A Piece of the Pie For Gay Marriage
Just came across this on this site and had to share. Feel free to show it to any confused homophobes. Share on Facebook
Bad Back, Good Wife
About 9 years ago or so, I injured my back during a krav maga class. It was basically what happens when a 250 pound Russian ass hole doesn’t think girls should be fight training and takes it upon himself to “teach me a lesson.” But at the time, adrenaline and pure fury allowed me to [...]
Wedding Dilemma
You all brought up so many good points about the type of wedding we’re going to have. Is it sacrificing our individuality for tradition? Is giving into pressure to prove something really just selling out? Is it even worth it to spend all that money just to prove to our straights, that our marriage is [...]
This Ain’t No Invisible Tea Party
After multiple mental run-throughs of our various destination wedding ideas, I started to freak out. Was I cheating myself by simply having a pool-side cocktail party wedding? Was the original “no-stress” virtue of this plan actually a compromise in disguise, slyly cheating me out of my dream wedding? Was I giving up before I had [...]
Idea #2: Back To My Roots
The second idea we had was based on the first one. A weekend, desert getaway but maybe at a different hotel. One that didn’t give off such a Rat Pack vibe (although I do love that) and was more of a blank canvas. This is the Movie Colony Hotel in Palm Springs. There seems to [...]
“The Wedding Matters Month” should be every month
In light of our upcoming marriage, Prop 8 is on the top of my list of news issues to keep on top of. I found a great resource for that, http://prop8trialtracker.com. I found the following post on there, and wanted to share it with you. I would also suggest you take a minute and go [...]
When is the big day?
Oh my goodness, I know I’ve been on a writing hiatus for a while! I don’t really know why either. I was just so excited with everything that’s been happening in my life right now, I went a little ADD. I couldn’t think about anything but weddings and rings and honeymoons and Remi. I seriously [...]
No WiFi in the Woods
I am so sorry that I haven’t written anything this week! But our little engagement honeymoon was high in the mountains, in a little cabin nestled in the woods and there wasn’t any wifi there! Imagine that! We thought we couldn’t live without the internet but we did just fine. Well anyways, a dear friend [...]
I hear bells ……
We had spent the evening at my best buddies house, Lana for a few hours joking around. Around ten o’clock we figured we better get going because we still had to pick up some milk on the way home. Lana lives on a cliff overlooking the ocean and we were parked on that cliff. As [...]
When Bigots Wear Name Tags
Remi was running a little late for work today, so I decided to drive her to save some time. While we were stuck in traffic I saw an SUV that had a “Yes on 8” bumper sticker and said, “Oh goodie, a person that hates gay people right there” and pointed at them. To which [...]
