Musings of an Aging Lesbian

Today was the national Women’s March in cities all over the country. Kelly and I marched in Coachella, a sweet little town rather far east of Palm Springs. There were about 300 people, mostly Latinex folks, many of whom live in Coachella. It was small but exciting to see. Two items struck me. First, I

THIS DAY IN LGBT HISTORY – DECEMBER 8

Musings of an Aging Lesbian Yesterday we went to the Riverside County Democrats’ JFK awards luncheon. My dear friend Joy Silver who’s running for the CA senate were honored.

Today in LGBT History – MARCH 30

Today I hit a milestone: My weight is now the same as when I was in the 7thgrade! I have tried to reach this weight for decades but my fondness for food kept that from happening. Seven years ago I weighed over 155. At 5’5” and rather muscular, that was fine. I was a size

Today in LGBT History – JANUARY 21

“We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop … I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”Martin Luther King, Jr. said
