Pride Blog – Day 13 – Your favorite LGBT role model/celebrity

I mean my favourite is probably Miss Vanjie… but not for any other reason than her instincts to grab for whatever worked and then ride that train home. Which I suspect I could probably think of someone more ‘worthy’ on the other hand – aren’t we all worthy and isn’t a role model just another … Read More


Pride Blog – Day 12 – Your favorite LGBT movie (or one you’d like to see)

I always fall back on But I’m A Cheerleader because it’s an excellent romcom. I have a weakness for Bound too because I like my lesbian gangster movies to come with lockouck earrings. I don’t do long slog queer movies or grinding lgbt history. I’ll read my history and talk to queer elders but give … Read More

Pride Blog – Day 7 – How your parents took it or how you think they might take it

Ah this one I’ve definitely blogged about before and there’s a fair bit on this blog about not being able to tell my parents about my life. I’m not really sure why it upset me so much that I couldn’t tell them about things going on in my life. But I got used to it, … Read More


Pride Blog – Day 4 – The First Person I Came Out To and That Story

Coming Out Stories. Gods. Sometime’s it feels that’s all you’re doing as a queer person. I certainly have written about the first time I came out before. I’ve written about how, being femme and cis it feels like I have a duty to keep coming out – there’s no real good stories, it’s just continual … Read More




Day 25 – The LGBT slur you hate most or if you’ve taken back a slur and used it as a definition, ie queer or fag.

The one I’ve taken back has to be Queer. I am lucky in that as a cis-woman i don’t really get the really bad slurs hurled at me, I never have. I’ve had, what, the odd ‘lesbo’ over the years. Dyke too. But I guess whereas Queer I’ve taken back almost by default I’ve deliberately … Read More


Day 24 – The stupidest argument/comment you’ve heard about gay people or an LGBT issue

Stupid? Sort of, more, usually deployed in a dishonest/disingenuous way. The claim that ‘cis’ is a slur. People who are talking about trans people being themselves are promoting an ideological agenda are usually themselves wrapped up in their own ideology. The point is, the more we have words for something the better we can discuss … Read More
