Reality Check

September 1, 2010
By Cathy Jameson
Reality Check

I love autumn and all that it brings — the fall foliage and brilliant colors, the country fairs and apple pie, and the start of the new reality television season. The vast majority of reality television shows, however, are geared for straight folks, and most recruit hetero hard-bodies to participate. That is why I am proposing...

Underground Railroad

“Do you want to take a ride up towards Wilmington, have some dinner and, uh, deliver some cats?” Until the cats part it sounded appealing. Somehow my spouse had been recruited to save four cats and a dog from death row at our local shelter by transporting them to an animal rescue volunteer, who would...

The Suckage Files – Dossier 1: A Thousand Points of Bite

Water is serious business, here in Dallas. Not that we are always facing shortages, although that does happen from time to time, but because the management and distribution of said commodity is central to a decent existence in our state. Otherwise, things die, and there is bitterness. You see, it gets rather hot here in...

I Do! And You Can’t Stop Me!

I Do!  And You Can’t Stop Me!

Well, Sugartoes, sometimes when I go sleep late at night Momma has nightmares. In these, I’m wearing a long white dress with a train, and I’m not even in a remake of Carrie. Now, if Momma is dressed up and yet frightened of the prospect, there must be something wrong. The only time I’ve been...

Guide to Internet Dating

Since coming out I have spent hundreds of hours looking through the endless stream of Internet ads.  The assumption that the woman of my dreams lives within a certain radius, within the bell curve of an age preference and is looking for me is truly a needle in a gaystack.  Yet, I find myself...

I recently decided to take a “day job” to help out some more around here, you know, pay the bills and feed us during what is a typically slow period in the cruise industry. I took a job as the head of IT for a well, let’s call it a “film production and online content...

Part of being a single lesbian in California often is experiencing the joys of having a roommate. And you rarely know what you’re going to get: “Tennifer”: During the initial interview for the roommate position she appeared within the bell curve of normal.

Date. Ding. Date. No.

Date. Ding. Date. No.

My dating roster is sparsely populated. Over the 30 plus years since my 16th, i.e. dating eligible, birthday there have been few dates with precious few people. Granted, I was in two committed relationships over a good clip of that time. But, I was single and relatively eligible to date more than my history...

By Chris Hemming
To Boldly Go

I suspected I was different when I first saw William Shatner shirtless in a Star Trek episode where he has to fight, gladiator-style. I was probably still in grade school.
