Do Ask, Do tell? It's this year's pride theme.....but what kind of message does it send?
So, I don't like pride's theme this year. That doesn't mean I won't go, and I'm certainly not protesting. I have a friend in the military that although she is quiet about her sexuality this policy will let her breathe, and know her career is safe if anyone finds out she's gay. For many of our amazing military people, this may not change how they ( Read more... ) -
Anorexia and Assault
So after many years of....well denial, I have been more open with my most recent battle with anorexia and a form of bulemia. As a fat girl I have had people scoff and laugh at me when I tell them I am borderline anorexic. Of course people who starve themselves couldn't possibly be this fat after they start eating normally.... And fat girls also don ( Read more... ) -
Heteromerica: Why is it a crisis when a vampire slayer sleeps with another girl?
I've spent several days reading Buffy season 8 and read a page of letters in reaction to buffy having a romantic evening with another girl. I almost started crying.

The opposite sex, hmmm: men, women, sexuality and beautiful curves

I am referring to myself, and I really hope no one thinks less of me for this note but I just need to get some things out by writing. I have often felt like I was trying to fit into some ( Read more... ) -
Day of Truth versus Day of Silence/ What is community like?
I initially wrote this response to finding out there were people who felt they needed to combat our day of abuse awareness. The next section I added after feeling this should be a note ( Read more... ) -
Try to remember that kind of September when life was slow and oh so mellow.....
It has been a while since my love passed, the first sepetmbers were really rough. My real mother's birthday is on the 26th, and I do not know what makes the whole month a bad one. In the past I have had great difficulty forging friendships in September, and had one or two septembers where the month was a wash. There was even an epicly awful ( Read more... ) -
does it get better? tattoed lesbians, jews, and having more friends than you can keep track of
It's 4am I am strangely awake, likely due to vikoden and the caffeine taken to even out it's effects.I've thought long and hard about a lot of things lately...September has always been a very rough month, in the past it has meant unwise dalliances with strange and devious women, homelessness scares, odd encounters, deaths of loved ones, and just in ( Read more... ) -
