Today in LGBT History – February 6

Listen. The winds of change are mighty and in the midst of them,
we need,
more than ever, to stand fast in our integrity and values. This is a time calling forth
the heroes and heroines of spirit. Yes, that is you! Today,
the price of staying silent in the face of abuse, dishonesty,
and the divisive mentality of the

It is not your responsibility to finish the work of perfecting the world, but you are not free to desist from it either.          –Rabbi Tarfon Learning our history is resistance!

Today in LGBT History – January 5

Dare to be different! Too often we gravitate to familiar, like-minded people, but not all gay men or lesbians share the same political, philosophical, or spiritual ideologies. Engage with someone whose ideas are different from yours, or join an organization new to you. There are many right answers! Today I believe that each new person

Today in LGBT History – January 4

Discrimination due to sexual orientation is painful. When we experience homophobia, it’s sometimes easy to buy into the shame of what others may say. Instead of seeing yourself as a reflection of what you think others see, look in the mirror and see your beautiful queer self. You are a worthwhile loving person who deserves

Today in LGBT History – June 21

I’m so disappointed in the Georgia 6 elections yesterday. So close and yet still so far to go. As Kathy Hogan wrote on Facebook this morning: “Yes, we’re bummed at the losses, and at all the crappy stuff that’s coming out of this administration. We get a victory here and there (like with the travel

Today in LGBT History – June 14

At dinner with friends last evening, I was asked about my feelings when I initially lost custody of my children in 1979. In talking about the intense anger that I felt for decades, I also shared that I placed blame for all my pain and rage on another person. I didn’t even know the other

Yesterday Kelly and I participated in the LGBT Pride parade in Port Townsend, WA. While it was quite small – maybe 200 people (PT population 5000) – it was every bit as heartfelt and exciting and powerful as the national marches I’ve attended. Many people, straight and LGBT together, celebrated the rights and freedoms that

Today in LGBT History – June 8

June is Pride month, a time during which I always reflect on my life’s journey. Two weeks ago, Kelly and I went to hear Holly Near in concert in Port Townsend. Holly Near was the first “women’s music” singer I had heard. I came out in early 1979 and attended a NOW national conference with
