| History is Being Made in California Right Now! |
| 2008-06-16 18:55:34 |
Up until about 5 minutes ago the County Clerks office in Los Angeles had marriage licenses available for couples with a Bride and a Groom. Their office has officially changed the licenses to include same-sex couples by changing the wording to say Party A and Party B. At 5:01pm same-sex couples across the state will begin to flood the website to apply for a marriage license to wed here in the State of California. This is a historic event!! Congratulations to all of the couples participating in a marriage ceremony soon - your time to apply for an application is almost here!!! HUGGGGSSSSS!!! Sincerely, ~JuliePhineas~About the Author: Julie Phineas is a work at home mom of 2 who lives in Southern California. You can find out more and view her photos by vi...

| Family Pride |
| 2008-06-16 15:52:27 |
Family Image uploaded by Drab Makyo Family Pride is a relatively new idea towards gay and lesbian pride.The idea of family pride has grown lately as more same sex couples are becoming parents. Gay families are increasing as domestic partner and civil union rights expand, more employers are providing health benefits for partners and their children, and the general acceptance of gays and lesbians is on the rise. ‘Gay Pride’ and ‘Rainbow Pride’ are giving way to the changes to include ‘Family Pride’ as well. Family Pride festivals are fast becoming the replacement for gay families to the traditional and un-family friendly Gay Pride parades. As a lesbian mom with experience in this department, let me tell you...

| My Lesbian Wedding Part Two: Plotting and Planning |
| 2008-06-14 22:12:21 |
There is a mass wedding for same-sex couples being held at 7pm on Tuesday June 17 at the Gay and Lesbian Center in Long Beach, which is close to my neighborhood here in Southern California. With two children, a teenage sister, two cats and a dog named Buddy living with us, the plotting and planning of our lesbian wedding is getting complicated. We've had to discuss and decide on many important things as a couple and as a family in the past few weeks such as, should we get married at a mass wedding? Do we add homophobes we're related to on our guest list? Do we even want to get married under these circumstances, knowing we might have to tell our children our status was taken away in November?? Let me tell you friends, i...

| My Lesbian Wedding Part One – We’ve Got Rights! |
| 2008-05-30 21:16:27 |
Four years ago, I was sitting in a hospital room with my mother, who was about 10 years into her battle with diabetes. The day is vivid and the moment is forever burned into my life – George W. Bush was re-elected. (article) This is a very emotional subject for me because when that happened a deep truth hit me hard… there would be no chance in hell for gay marriage rights for the next four years. I had been holding it together for my mom, keeping a brave face; but the moment the news flashed the story I broke down and cried… it still makes me cry for such a grave injustice to have happened. Now flash forward four years, and my mother has been back in the hospital since January. (Please send prayers!) I happened to be sitting with her overnight on Ma...

| I'm Turning into an Angry Lesbian |
| 2008-05-29 23:07:21 |
Happy Go Lucky 366Originally uploaded by Repoort Hello world… how are things?? I hope that all is going well for you and yours. Unfortunately my friends, despite the fact that California recently granted rights to gay and lesbian couples to wed in our state, things have not been going that well for me. You may have noticed that I haven’t posted here since March, although I did write an article for Lesbiatopia about Buddy G.tv that you can read here. I have to be honest with you all that the reason that I haven’t been writing online lately is because I have had a lot of things happen in my life lately that have slowly but surely turned me into an Angry Lesbian. This is mostly because I have been overwhelmed with situations in my life that call for me to deal with other people in highl...

| Estate Planning for Committed Lesbians |
| 2008-05-29 21:40:42 |
Paper Clips! Originally uploaded by Tyler Howarth As a lesbian mom, I have unique concerns when it comes to my legal issues and financial estate. I am in a committed lesbian relationship with children from a previous marriage. The issues of child custody, visitation and support are a given whenever children are involved in a relationship. However, a heterosexual marriage is afforded many rights automatically upon union whereas a same-sex relationship has limited to zero rights in many parts of the world. Whenever a person enters a committed relationship they are entering a form of partnership. There are certain responsibilities relevant to the relationship that each party is expected to maintain. The government sometimes has laws and/or programs i...

| Lesbians and PCOS |
| 2008-05-29 21:40:35 |
* Originally uploaded by simpsontwin I knew that I had PCOS before I knew I was a lesbian. I read an article in a magazine that talked about PCOS and I had many of the symptoms that were mentioned in that article. Honestly at the time I just thought I was imagining things and didn’t look into it at all; I pretty much forgot about the article until later on. The many symptoms I had would eventually make me prone to miscarriage and infertility, amongst many other things. After losing a few pregnancies in the early weeks, I was blessed to have the two children that I have now. I was diagnosed with PCOS (which stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) after I had my first child, because that was when I started to get really sick. It started slowly at first, just a couple of days off o...

| Lesbophobia - This is NOT A Happy Post |
| 2008-05-29 21:39:17 |
Originally uploaded by Fotografiar Lesbophobia is NOT the next buzz word.A genocide is occurring and is a direct a result of Lesbophobia. I am not talking about the horrors in Darfur, or referring to the tragedy in Rwanda. Genocide does not have to include murder, though many times that is what ultimately occurs. According to Wikipedia, genocide is the “deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, religious, or national group”. I believe this is what is happening for homosexuals everywhere. Our group has been consistently targeted and portrayed as immoral sexual deviants with little regard for family values, and the ‘moral-majority’ continuously tries to break our spirit. Though major advancements in gay and lesbian rights have been made around the world, homophobia...

| My Gaydar is Broken! |
| 2008-05-29 21:39:06 |
* Originally uploaded by simpsontwin If you don’t know what ‘Gaydar’ is, it’s the ability to determine whether someone is gay or not.Apparently, I lack that ability because I am a lesbian and I didn’t even know it! My Gaydar is definitely broken. And it’s not like there weren’t signs either… the first time I ever had that ‘funny feeling’ about somebody was in 5th grade. There was a talent show at the junior high school across the street from my elementary school. For some reason, when this really cute guy was on the stage singing, I got a feeling in my body that I had never had before. Imagine my shock, when after the song he took a bow, dropped his cap, and turned out to be a she. OMG. And you would think that I knew at that point that I had an affinity to boi ...
