As an LGBT film watcher, I've mostly seen "L" films and a few "B", but not much in the way of "G" or "T". Primarily because gay male films I simply don't really relate to so I just don't get into them, and I just haven't seen a lot of films about trans characters, if any, to have an opinion either way. That and they're hard to find ( Read more... )

Earlier this week, a 28 year old lesbian woman in San Francisco, arguably the queer capital of the US, was nabbed from her car by a man and his 3 friends, insulted for being gay, ordered to strip naked, and then was raped before being forced back into the car, driven miles away to an abandoned apartment complex where (in and around her car) she was ( Read more... )

Had an okay day at work. Nothing huge, nothing boring, really. Listend to a lot of Rasputina - they're really growing on me ( Read more... )

Been mistaken for a boy outright twice now since I got my hair cut. It's oddly very satisfying. Well, I guess not odd... In Portland I just accepted it as fact. But it doesn't happen as often now I'm back home so I guess I find it satisfying because I miss it ( Read more... )

Clothing can be so difficult at times. With me, a lot of thought goes into who is going to see me and how will they percieve me. In Portland I didn't worry so much about what I wore, simply because genders are a little more balanced there than they are here. Here, it's a little bit more "old fashioned", the differences between male and female, ( Read more... )

This is funny because I was just pondering on the very same thing just the other day. What is it that 'gaydar' picks up? Why is it I can pick out other lesbians and gays out of a crowd with very little difficulty, regardless of how they are dressed? And why is it most straight people seem to have NO gaydar at all?

I love Neko Case. I love how ambiguous she is about sex, too. *evil grins*
I don't know if she wrote this song or not, but take the lyrics for "Karoline":

The path you walk is on fire, so wild and unashamed

Read this in the last issue of "Just Out", Portland's LGBTIetc. newspaper. It's funny and actually has some good points for those of us who want good points to argue for when it comes to homosexuality and the bible, whether you believe the bible or not -- so nobody better take offense, it's just trying to make a point with some sharp humor as is ( Read more... )
