New goal: post at least one lesbian-related news story per day. Ever since I started this blog, I have been getting multiple Google news alerts for “lesbian” and it’s about time I start sharing the interesting stuff! Here’s what I’ve found from the past few days. (Don’t worry, the sex posts will still be happening too! I have a review of a cool new rabbit vibrator coming up…as soon as I test it some more…)
- Rice Supports Gay Inclusion At UN, Move Fails – I’m impressed that this administration even tried to back something like this. There were no surprises on the list of countries who tabled the motion, but at least the U.S. wasn’t one of them.
- Gays’ place in textbooks: Debate is on – California is deciding how much importance should be placed on gay and lesbian contributions to history.
- Coalition forms to advocate for gay and lesbian rights – The city of Greensboro, North Carolina, is getting its own advocacy coalition. The state’s gay-related laws are not so great – they have a DOMA in place – but this is a good step.
- Island’s ‘in dire need of a gay and lesbian centre’ – The island is Bermuda, and I freely admit that I’m mainly interested in this because I’m going to Bermuda in October. I hadn’t expected to find much in the way of gay nightlife there, but it’s sad to hear how little there is in the way of gay community.
- Senate Threatens to Form Gay Coalition out of Mass. Gov. Romney’s Reach – Poor Mitt Romney. He’s an anti-gay crusader leading a state that allows gay marriage and supports coalitions for gay youth. You’re fighting a losing battle, Mitt!
- Gay and lesbian storks become parents – Just a final cute story. This was at a Dutch zoo.
