The Mismeasure of Relationship Success
So, the girlfriend and I are coming up on five years together. Friends and acquaintance are starting to look at me, and her, all squinty-eyed and saying, in a certain doubtful tone, "So, how's it going with Steph?" Or "Wow, five years, that's a long time. How do you do... Comments: 14

Peeking Back into the Dating World, Part II
Around mid-November, I started chatting online with this Southerner that pulled me in with the idea of whiskey and country karaoke. We made a date to meet for drinks on my birthday, which was also my last day of interning and I planned on staying up all night celebrating the two momentous occasions.

Award Shows Are Six Degrees of Gay
During the lull between award shows (yes, there is one), let’s see how many of the award nominees, presenters and show-goers are gay, have played gay, or are Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon gay.* I’ll start. Michelle Williams , winner of the 2012 Golden...

Why I Love ESPN
I’m a sports junkie, so it makes sense that my favorite network on television is ESPN. But the reason I love ESPN isn’t just because I love sports. Sure, I watch Sportscenter every day to get my fix. But there’s more to ESPN than sports headlines, in-depth analysis and... Comments: 2

On Being Femme V. Female
I love being a woman. Okay, one might say, this is a no-brainer—I am one after all. But there are many women who are envious of male attributes: the ability to pee standing up, fewer rules about staying out late during adolescence, being able to drink more with less impact, and they would be willing to forgo femaleness for a few days in order to enjoy the benefits of being a boy.

What's in a Knife?

Ramblin' Ma'am
Lesbian Publishing
The new issue of Health, or Self, I forget which, has a lesbian on the cover (trainer Jillian Michaels, looking as femmey as can be), a lesbian on the back cover (Ellen DeGeneres in her groundbreaking but now ubiquitous Cover Girl makeup ads) and mention of “partner” instead of boyfriend or husband at least once inside.

Dr. Frankie's Love Seat
Dear Dr. Frankie, I'm sick of hearing about exes!
Dear Dr. Frankie, Lesbians are known to be extremely relationship focused. I have yet to go on a first or second date with a woman where she does not mention her past relationships. It's a big generalization, but with heterosexual dating people don't talk about their exes for...

Getting My Beauty Rest
When it comes to looking your best, no amount of product is as important as good old-fashioned beauty sleep. I’m a lousy sleeper myself. Always too much going on in my head. But I committed to becoming a better sleeper in 2013 and so I tested out...

Dispatches from the Lesbo-Sphere
What to wear, what to wear
I’d describe both my demeanor and style as urban cowgirl. My standard outfit consists of Levi’s, a black T-shirt and Frye boots. I live in New York City and that’s pretty much an acceptable dress code for everywhere. Maybe not Le Cirque or Daniel, but I don’t frequent...

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow
“I’d like a man to cut my hair. A straight man,” I said to the salon receptionist. I was surprised by her shocked look at my un-PC request because the Astor Place Barbershop was an old fashioned institution, which did not display rainbow stickers during Pride—or any...
