Back in November 2004, I wrote in this blog about the saga surrounding two-year-old Isabella Miller-Jenkins. To my amazement, the story continues. A Vermont TV station reports that the same issue is still at hand – the Vermont courts are saying “we have jurisdiction” and the Virginia courts are saying “we don’t care.” Meanwhile, Isabella [...]

The Japan Times has an article called Lesbian mothers’ twin tasks. It gives brief profiles of three lesbian moms through the prism of Japanese culture. Only one of the couples is Japanese; there is also an Australian couple living in a Japan and an American couple planning to live in Japan for a year. (My [...]

I know I haven’t updated in forever, and I haven’t had a Cyber Dyke update in even longer than forever (that’s like infinity plus one, I guess), but I did want to mention that New York just said no to same-sex marriage. Georgia did too, but that’s not really a surprise. I was really hoping [...]

Happy Pride Month, everybody! I had a great time this past weekend during Capital Pride. On Saturday I interpreted for the DC Dyke March, and then participated in the march itself; you can check out pictures from that here; in the one with Dillon I’m the one in the yellow shirt and blue jeans.

(Don’t worry, the sex posts will still be happening [...]

As if I didn’t already want to move to Toronto enough! Now there is going to be a condominium for gays and lesbians there. You don’t have to be gay to buy there, but that’s who they’re marketing it to. How awesome is that?!

Uganda isn’t a country we hear a whole lot about. Many Americans know almost nothing about Uganda except that it was controlled by Idi Amin. Originally a British territory, Uganda’s official language is English and tourists are mostly attracted to its several national parks. Life is not easy, though, for lesbians and gay men in [...]

With the whole family situation I haven’t been reading queer news lately. Here are a couple of things I missed; this weekend I will catch up on CyDy itself! Also, watch for potential changes around here in the coming months, especially integration with some other parts of CyDy. Those Panthers cheerleaders (you’ve heard about them, [...]
