So, as I suspected, there was a diversity of thought about my observations about The Kids Are All Right.  My post is currently on the front page of The Huffington Post and the comments are flying.  I have also been getting comments galore on my facebook wall and via email.  So here is a sampling [...]

So I posted this essay on The Huffington Post late this morning.  I saw the movie a few weeks back but waited to post until the movie had broader distribution.  This past Friday the film’s reach expanded to over 200 screens, from urban centers where it was selling out to the suburbs where it has [...]

So, yes.  Eileen and I marched in the NYC LGBT Pride Parade yesterday.  We hadn’t marched in a couple of years.  Some of you may be thinking “Gee, Joan! I didn’t think you two were those kinds of lesbians. Which kind would those be? We are the “white picket fence, suburban lesbians who have been [...]

Let’s talk about Seattle for a minute.  Love Seattle.  Especially with the rainbow flag flying from the Space Needle this weekend.  First time ever. Thanks to Patrick from Seattle for sending me the link to the video above.   I liked it alot because it captured all that the Seattle Pride Parade is about.  See what [...]

Maybe you are just too tired.  Maybe you have a schedule conflict.  Maybe you want to spend time with your family.  No wrong answers. Last year (you’ll know it’s last year because I reference the death of the OxyClean guy),  we did not march.  And we were still very proud.   Have a read. cA Gay [...]

I just love a good play on words.  MORE-ON gay pride media coverage.  And this picture. Actually I would like to be clear.  I don’t think Bill O’Reilly is a moron.  I’ve been on his show a few times and he’s smart and oddly respectful in his own way.  He actually wants you to get [...]

So yesterday, I wrote about media coverage of gay pride marches.  I asked readers to send my their pix of pride.  I woke up this morning to an inbox with some good ones. This picture comes from Boston.  Taken just down the street from where my daughter goes to college (I know.  I don’t look [...]

I am going to the NYC Gay Pride March this Sunday and I plan to take pictures that tell more of the story of gay pride than the media seems capable of. Wanna join me?

Father’s Day in a house with lesbian moms is admittedly odd.   When my own dad was still living,  it had more of a focus.  And when the kids were little, school focused on the creation of special little Father’s Day gifts made by each of the children (our school, by the way, was always very [...]

So John Edwards made it official today.  Although not directly.  He had someone tell the press that Quinn is his daughter.  You remember.  The woman he had an affair with had a baby.  He denied it was his child.  We all knew it was his child but he said it wasn’t.  Now he’s said she [...]
