It’s time for my look at the AfterEllen Hot 100. The National Ledger is already surprised that Angelina Jolie was not on top, but what surprises me more is that the #1 pick was Leisha Hailey. I will be totally honest: she’s cute, but her voice drives me insane, kind of like Jennifer Tilly. Maybe [...]

I know I never write about anything of substance…but David Hyde Pierce really is gay! I know he always seemed gay, but I always assumed that was just his style as an actor. I felt the same way when I heard about John Inman, too…

Whew, okay, now I’m back and posting. According to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the LGBT Archives at Western Reserve Historical Society have stepped up their efforts to improve their collections. The LGBT Archives, which were established in 1991, are looking for personal stories, oral histories, documents, photographs, and publications. If you have anything to contribute I [...]

Okay, okay! I get it already! Can the press please stop reporting on Lindsay Lohan and Mel B’s supposed lesbian flings? I feel about this the exact same way I felt about Anne Heche. Bisexuals are everywhere. It does not have to be a great big shocker when a girl kisses another girl. Hell, even [...]

I was tempted to leave a comment on AfterEllen’s Top 10 Lesbian-ish Men post, but I couldn’t bring myself to register for the site. So I’ll just say it over here – at last my love of Johnny Depp has some vindication! See, I’ve always known he was a hottie, I just didn’t know it [...]

Can I just say that the OMG SHE’S A LESBIAN scandals are getting really old? Now Carmen Electra is being accused of dating Joan Jett. And the singer Fergie has apparently had same-sex interactions, though not necessarily relationships. One UK site treats it pretty well, but the DailyIndia.com site uses the headline Fergie was once [...]

I just received notification about this eBay auction – a walk-on role on The L Word! It’s a charity auction being sponsored by Showtime to benefit Queer Lounge, an organization targeted to queer filmmakers. The auction is currently at $5200 and the reserve hasn’t been met – I’m going to guess it’s $10,000? Who knows. [...]

Originally published in Dykewrite, 6 January 2004 My local hometown paper just happens to be the internationally-known Washington Post, which is recognized as a quality newspaper of a rather liberal persuasion. While browsing through this past Sunday’s issue, I turned to the Style section and was confronted with a large headline: Partway Gay? For Some [...]

For the record, I am not a lipstick lesbian. I’m not even a Chapstick lesbian. I don’t wear makeup hardly ever. I have long hair and I wear dresses, but I don’t consider myself a lipstick lesbian. That said, AfterEllen has an article about the death of the tomboy and the rise of the lipstick [...]

There’s a lesbian sorority! I had no idea. They are trying to get recognition at the University of Memphis, which is a struggle because that area is firmly in the Bible Belt. The sorority is called Beta Phi Omega (est. 2000); they currently have eight active chapters across the United States, including the one in [...]
