Join me in congratulating two couples who have announced their intention to tie the knot: Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, and Star Trek’s George Takei and his long-time partner Brad.

No matter who wins the presidential election, it is quite clear that the big loser in campaign 08 is religion.
By far, the most strident political voices have come from renegade reverends that seem a bit hot under the collar. These cantankerous characters (or caricatures) have transformed their houses of worship into a harbor […]

I’ve just received my copy of Beebo Brinker in the mail bought from Amazon. It’s the last of a series of 6 novels published between 1957-1962, but it’s actually a prequel to all of them, so I guess it makes sense to read this first. I’m quite psyched, being deprived of lesbian-themed books in general. […]

This 60’s movie starred Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine, who gave awesome performances. It’s about two school administrators whose lives were turned upside down after a student spread a false rumor that they have a lesbian affair. Trivia: It’s also the movie being watched in the starting sequence of If These Walls Could Talk 2. […]

TIME’s Andrea Sachs recently sat down with Rita Mae Brown to chat about her latest book, The Purrfect Murder, the feminist movement, Martina Navratilova, and being “the only lesbian in America”. Her photograph on the left shows her with her cat, Sneaky Pie. Read the full Q&A.

Dear Sally,
I saw the statement you released yesterday in which you said your “hate speech” is merely “free speech.” That’s kind of gross, but it’s also beside the point.
The point is this: your words have consequences. Ask Judy Shepherd — her son, Matthew, was viciously murdered ten years ago by people who think like you. […]

Sally Kern has become very famous (or infamous) among the gay community recently. The 61-year old representative from Oklahoma has been caught on tape giving a speech that strongly criticizes the gay lifestyle. It has found its way to Youtube, where the speech has generated very passionate viewer reactions. The speech was secretly recorded during […]
