Together We Stand!

I haven't posted in a long time. Lots have happened. Its also the beginning of a New Year! I felt the need to blog.

Currently I am awake in the middle of the night. I'm an insomniac so this isn't very new. I guess I'm lots of things... but tonight I'm someone who has bronchitis. My chest feels tight, coughs are non productive, fever and all the other stuff that goes with a cold that turns into a lung thing. Basicly I feel like crap.

Kendra (my wife) brought home this nastiness from her job. She's a speech path who works with little ones. She's still sick with the cold part. I worry about her.

Thats about it. Happy New Years everyone!

Hello my darlings...

How are things with all of you? It's October once again and you all know what that means???


That's right!!! It's LGBT History Month and don't forget Coming Out day is Oct. 11th.

Here's a bit about the month and how it came to be:
In the United States:

LGBT History Month originated in the United States and was first celebrated in 1994. It was founded by Missouri high-school history teacher Rodney Wilson.[1] Among early supporters and members of the first coordinating committee were Kevin Jennings of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); Kevin Boyer of Gerber/Hart Gay and Lesbian Library and Archives in Chicago; Paul Varnell, writer for the Windy City Times; Torey Wilson, Chicago area teacher; Johnda Boyce, women's studies major at Columbus State University and Jessea Greenman of UC-Berkeley. Many gay and lesbian organizations supported the concept early on. In 1995, the National Education Association indicated support of LGBT History Month as well as other history months by resolution at its General Assembly.

October was chosen by Wilson as the month for the celebration because National Coming Out Day already was established as a widely known event, on October 11, and October commemorated the first march on Washington by LGBT people in 1979. LGBT History Month is intended to encourage honesty and openness about being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

While it was first known as Lesbian and Gay History Month, the Coordinating Committee soon added "Bisexual" to the title. It has subsequently become known as LGBT History Month. The event has received criticism from, for example, the Concerned Women for America and others who believe it to be a form of indoctrination.[2]

On June 2, 2000, President Bill Clinton declared June 2000 "Gay & Lesbian Pride Month".[3] President Barack Obama declared June 2009 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride Month 2009 on June 1, 2009.[4]

Equality Forum, a national and international LGBT civil rights organization with an educational focus, undertook responsibility for LGBT Month in 2006. Each day in October, an Icon is featured with a video, biography, bibliography, downloadable images and other educational resources.

The LGBT community is the only minority worldwide that is not taught its history at home, in public schools or religious institutions. These educational resources are available without charge at http://www.lgbthistorymonth.com lgbthistorymonth.com]. LGBT History Month teaches heritage, provides role models, builds community and celebrates the extraordinary national and international contributions of the LGBT community.

I am looking for a documentary called Butch Mystique from Debra. A Wilson. Normally, there is a possibility to get it directly from the site “Moyo entertainment”. However, I tried but it didn’t work. I wrote to them but got no answer. Does anyone know where else I could find/ purchase this movie? If you have it, where did you find it?

Thanks in advance

What did you do for your 4th of July weekend? And did you make it to your area's pride this year and how was it?

What is the most unusual thing you have seen in your life of being a sexual being? I saw a nice lesbian with 4 nipples, I had never seen that before, she said the two extra nipples were very sensitive, but they were just like man nipples, no boobs with them.

She was a super nice person, but I never took it to a sexual level, but I did enjoy learning about the extra nipples.

what a great topic, we all have them, we all hate them, where is your crazy hair and what do you do with them?

mine, I have one black hair that grows on my right arm, the underside in the soft fine baby hair land, i pull it as I notice it.

due to heavy scars on my right arm I get crazy hairs there too, I pull them or they grow toward china

I am thinking if I have more

My dog Nikki has about 5 hairs that grow longer than the rest right on the top of her head, lil alfalfa, I trim those as needed too

it is so dead in here, had to post

everyone doing ok?

is love spreading across the world?

Do you think that as a lesbian you've been/ are a role model for younger lesbians? Have you ever had a lesbian role model in your life, like a teacher, someone from your family or around you? If so, how did they convey to you a positive image of being a lesbian?
