Nice To Meet You
Dear Online “Activists,” Hi. You don’t know me, but you still talk smack about me on the Internet. That’s cool – I know how that goes. Makes you feel better. Go ahead – vent your spleen. Spew it on me – I am a dyke. I’ve been taking this for years. Feel better? Take a breath. […]

This Is Not A Lesbian Issue
Autostraddle, this is not a Lesbian Issue.
Gayhood is Significant
As I have mentioned in the pages of Baltimore OUTLoud before, I attended a Jesuit university in New York City in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

For years, Lesbians have dropped out of the GLBT Movement or simply […]

The virulent homophobia of other students on the campus politicized me and […]
