Today I visited with my daughter. Our conversation was so delightful, so real, and filled with mutual love and respect. I’m so proud of the woman that she is, and I’m thrilled that she’s become a student affairs professional on a major college campus. Way to go, my precious daughter! Today in LGBT History –

Today in LGBT History – July 28

Last night I learned a great deal about writing a play. We rehearsed Sing, Meadowlark with the full cast for the performance on Monday. We writers love our words and hate to discard any of them.

Diversion. That’s what this pathetic attack on transgender service members is all about. Trump always need a distraction so that we stop looking at his ineptness, his crimes, the embarrassment of his very presidency. Impeach, invalidate, whatever it takes to remove this dangerous man.  Today in LGBT History – July 27 1899 – Author Henry

Florida…hot, humid, and full of loving women in The Villages! I love my Helen Schwartz. I’ve known Helen since 1980. She’s part of my history, my story. Helen was out before people came out publicly.

I’m flying to Florida today to visit my dear friend Helen in The Villages. I wrote a readers’ play based on Helen’s book Sing, Meadowlark, Sing.

Today in LGBT History – July 23

The history I share each day is also my own history as a lesbian. This history of my life is visible, alive. I see it in the eyes and feel it in the hearts of my own family. My mother and sister are visiting for a few days along with my grandsons and their moms.

Today in LGBT History – July 22

I’m still on the theme of family. My two grandsons and their moms are with us this weekend. I love spending time with this family, watching the ways in which they all interact, and especially watching how the moms affirm the children. The boys are 7 and 3. The 7 year old has his own
