The military doesn’t want gay men or lesbians serving in the armed forces but they are actively recruiting convicted felons. Rape, manslaughter, arson, kidnapping on your record? No problem. Just don’t be queer. The number of reports of physical violence and abuse by soldiers returning from duty is alarming. What do we think we are doing sending people who are already disturbed over there?
The way the Democratic race is going, the party could bestow unprecedented power to delegates to determine the party’s official candidate. When party bigwigs meet in Denver, they’ll share the room with two transgender activists. The first, Diego Sanchez was appointed by the DNC chairman himself—Howard Dean. The second, Marisa Richmond, is the party’s first openly transgender African-American delegate.
On the campaign trail in North Carolina last week, Hillary Clinton said last night’s primaries could be a ‘game changer’. They weren’t. After his loss in the Pennsylvania, Barack Obama called Indiana’s primary a ‘tie-breaker.’ It wasn’t. Instead Clinton won Indiana, Barack Obama won North Carolina. So today we yet again have another split decision and I’m starting to feel like Bill Murray’s character in the film Groundhog’s Day.
For a lesbian expecting a baby conceived with a gay man, things were surprisingly normal. Sometimes my partner Kira accompanied me to my prenatal check ups, and other times daddy-to-be Daniel came. I recall only one kink at the OB, when I corrected a technician who referred to Daniel as my husband. Later a doctor looked at my file and whispered, 'So the father of the baby is not your husband?'

Kathy and I run a support group for lesbian and bisexual women who are coming out, and the subject of online dating came up recently. Some of our members have found the love of their lives through online dating, and some have experienced situations that would make great plots for a stalker movie. Since Spring is in the air, and many women are ready to start looking for love, we thought we'd put together some advice we've learned about online dating.

And the lord God said... What in the hell were you thinking?
By Lauren Incognito

From her struggle to overcome selfish desires for Pottery Barn furniture to working on finishing her degree while supporting herself, to choosing a Chinese sperm donor, a writer, student and lesbian shares her journey from the first pang of her biological clock, through to her second trimester.
In a week when he should have been focused on getting his campaign back on track ahead of Tuesday’s primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, Barack Obama'scampaign was once again driven to distraction on the campaign trail. Recent polls show Sen. Hillary Clinton gaining on him in North Carolina, Indiana and on a national level. But does all of this mean that the tide is turning against Barack Obama? Maybe. Maybe not.
