I have two girlfriends. My main employer knows I’m poly. Everyone I work with knows I like girls. I do not have to marry a man and bear his children to be able to live within society. My nephews know they have two Aunts. My parents know my girlfriend transitioned. I have not been shunned. … Read More
I’ve got a book, somewhere, the cover of which has glitter on it. I think it’s called Gay Wicca. A lot of it talks about the changes from the unthinking heteronormativity of the myths and stories of Wicca. I mean when your basic understanding of the changing seasons comes down to God fucks Goddess it’s … Read More
Today’s prompt is the best part of being Queer. I mean I don’t want to repeat yesterday exactly but it’s the people. I felt hugely an outsider growing up, I’d guess that basically everyone has that experience in their teens, I don’t know if all nerds have it when they’re younger. I certainly did, it … Read More

I guess I kinda went into this when I did the ‘Who is your Queer Mentor’ post. Yet, I’m not automatically going with Aunty Kate for this one. Or someone I’ve met, nope I’m even going for futher distance. Who is a Queer Person who inspires me? Anna Madrigal. Yeah not only can I not … Read More
I mean, I’ve said to a lot of Younger Millenials, Zoomers and whatever we’re calling the generation between them…there is one right? No? Just Millenials and then Zoomers and because I’m only just a Millenial I think that there seems like there’s another one? Right, gotcha. Anyway I’ve said that I hope they get to … Read More
Oooooh boy. So, Lancaster reached a milestone last year in that not only did we have a Pride Parade we also had an alternative Pride. Pride is more than just the Parade, the Parade is important, I can’t explain exactly what it is that makes me so happy that we get to walk down the … Read More
