It’s time for the promised post about my experience on RSVP. First of all, let me say that I think all queers should experience a gay cruise. It’s like living at the heart of Pride 24/7 for a week. I had a fantastic time despite some interpersonal concerns. However…lesbians might not [...]

The magazine Killer Betties has an article entitled Girl-on-Girl Gaming: Exploring Communities, Questions and Concerns of Lesbian Video Gamers. Pretty cool, and touches on more than just the Sims. (Which is probably the only game that can really have lesbian characters.)
Via Game Girl Advance, which is a worthwhile blog in its own [...]

This is somewhat shocking – a Canadian girl was expelled from school because her parents are lesbians. It’s a religious school, of course, but the girl herself hadn’t done anything wrong. So much for preaching tolerance, eh?
Also, it looks like Olivia is expanding. They’re looking at the market for retirement communities, and [...]

It’s really a shame it had to come to this, and it’s surprising to hear a story like this in 2005 – but then again, this is Florida. At the end of the last school year, Jacksonville senior Kelli Davis posed for her yearbook portrait like all of her classmates. When presented with [...]

The CyDy Specials section has some of the network’s most unique feature galleries and videos. This time it’s a video of Sapphire testing one of the Hello Kitty vibrators – the most famous one, which is stick-shaped (read about its history here!). I have two of them, and I’ve only used one of [...]

What a unique update at Posteriority! Alystin and Savoza wrote to Cyber Dyke and expressed an interest in becoming models. Reportedly Savoza likes anal play, so they ended up on Posteriority. I think these pictures were taken by a friend, rather than a CyDy photographer, but they look great! Savoza [...]

I want to write about my experiences on RSVP – let’s just say I was accused all week of being straight, good grief – and I want to check out what’s been happening over at CyDy while I’ve been gone, but for now I am just going to give a link to the New Zealand-based [...]

From Duke University comes this page on lesbian-oriented pulp novels from the 1950s. There are several titles and descriptions and a few scanned cover pictures, but more fun is also available from the links at the bottom of the page. I’ve never read Beebo Brinker but I do hope to!

It’s a relief that the owners of “sappho.com” did something good with it! The site is called Isle of Lesbos and it features art and literature about lesbianism. There is both classic artwork and also vintage images, as well as poetry, letters, and journals. One of my favorite pieces is an 1890s-era [...]

Hey everybody! As you read this, I am on Holland America’s ship Oosterdam with 1600 gay men and 150 lesbians. I was contacted by RSVP, the gay travel company, and invited to serve as a sign language interpreter for their September trip to Alaska. But thanks to the miracle of scheduled posting [...]
