I met my late life partner of over 20 years, Margaret Ardussi, in Fairfield, Iowa, in June 1984 when I came to stay in the house full of lesbians where she was renting a room. I was there to attend a World Peace Assembly of yogic flyers at Maharishi International University, now known as Maharishi …

As a completely disinterested, objective observer of hot girl-on-girl Jello wrestling
Dear, dear, dear. I was scrolling around The Other McCain today to copy some photos of me since his camera was working on Wednesday at the Andrew Breitbart party on Capitol Hill and mine was not, and what should I spy! A Jello-wrestling match is on between Monique Stuart, aka Moe, aka HotMES (pick a …
You no playa da game, you no maka da rules
Charles Winecoff at Big Hollywood has lots of thoughts on the lesbian and gay community and gay marriage tonight. He asks, “When did the gay community get so mean?” Charles, I came out in 1972 and I have a question for you: “When was the gay and lesbian community EVER nice?” Because I can’t think …

Why can't I own Canadians?
I originally planned this post on the unchanging Bible and homosexuality to be about Dr. Laura and her flip from Orthodox Judaism to evangelical Christianity, but the pertinent quote from Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer is too heavy and needs its own post. Also, today I came across a post by dear Stacy McCain railing …
How Stacy McCain became irresistible to women
It was a balmy, sunny day at Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, and Stacy McCain was walking on the sparkling beach when he spied a dark metal handle of something that looked like a gravy boat sticking up out of the sand. He pulled it out for closer examination. As Stacy brushed off the sand and rubbed …

How to turn around blighted neighborhoods for free, the conservative way
As a minority, lesbians and gays have few, if any, friends and allies willing to expend political capital on our behalf — although other minorities accept all the golden eggs we produce for them with endless handfuls of gimme and mouths full of “much obliged.” We also have less family support than any other minority …

Michael Steele's Rush Limbaugh gaffe and how to go forward to victory
Little Miss Attila kindly asked me what I thought of this post at her blog, and here is my answer: My concern with Steele’s put-down of Limbaugh is that it makes me question his personality, his judgment and his qualifications for the job of chairman of the Republican National Committee, which Rush correctly pointed out …

Gay marriage as Penelope's web vs. Nixon to China
Here’s the thing about getting gay marriage legalized — it makes a LOT more sense for me to engage conservatives on the issue than liberal Democrats because I only have to educate conservatives about the “gay” part of the issue and joyfully, that work not only stays done, but actually begins to multiply itself virally …

Is this how werewolves feel?
I got pulled into the gravitational field of the blogosphere right after Sarah Palin’s luminous speech at the Republican National Convention in 2008. I am a lesbian and life-long Democrat, but Barack Obama’s last chance to get my support lay in his choice of vice president. When he didn’t choose Hillary Clinton, I considered myself …
