How are we defining relationship here? Because I was very definitely calling things when I was in my ethical slut phase not Relationships. I think the Jellicle might be my first proper girlfriend cause M-I-L have only been together for ten years (this week). But then if we define relationship as being together rather than … Read More
I have a definite liking for “We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.” from RuPaul. However if I’m going to pick a favourite quotation I’m picking a serious type one. “My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.” – Audre Lorde I like Audre Lorde very much. Her poetry … Read More
Damn I kind of shot myself in the foot yesterday as Freddy could’ve been mentioned today. However, I do like other Queer artists, I could go modern as there are so many queer artists these days. I seriously considered going old school instead for a bisexual woman who’s been around forever. Is Madonna my favourite … Read More
My favourite Queer role model/celebrity… I’ve written pretty earnestly in previous years about Queer Icons and mentors both celebrity and otherwise.

Oooft. Marriage. Huh I think you’re going to get more of a feminist answer to that one than a queer answer. When gay marriage just wasn’t a thing of course I supported it, after all equality of relationship opportunities is something I believe in. However, I am not the biggest fan of marriage. At least … Read More
I love Pride. Sure I’ve got so many criticisms of its playing into the capitalist materialistic culture that overtakes A Lot of mainstream queer culture. I hate the Rainbow Washing that corporate entities with problematic records on queer employment try to do by sending straight people posing as allies to Pride parades. Good gods the … Read More
Being in the closet is one of those things that some people have to be, I hate it. But growing up I was always very aware that my opening my mouth reflected on other people. Well, by other people I mean my parents, my little sister. It may surprise you, dear readers, to learn that … Read More
Oh yes. This. (Content Warning – Frank discussion of problems with my parents, mention of mental health problems) The thing is I’m 41 and I still find people with entirely open and honest relationships with their parents to be something of an oddity. If there is one thing that growing up in the eighties and … Read More
