Every birthday after I admitted to myself that I am queer has been a celebration of that fact. A celebration that I listened to myself, that I am not currently trapped in a marriage I don’t want, a marriage slowly draining me of life and hope.

It’s Shane’s fortieth birthday and Generation Q’s gift to you is a few pictures of Dana, a really REALLY hot sex scene and a cameo by Robin Roemer!

Whether your thing is memoir, fiction, new poetry or YA, there’s definitely something coming out this summer by and/or about queer people that you’re going to want to throw in your bag for the beach, get points for in your library’s summer reading program, or share with that new babe you just started seeing who loves your poetry recs.

Gay rights pioneer Edith Windsor died today in Manhattan. She was 88 years old.

The 2010s was an incredibly gay decade in music. Queer and trans musicians gained more visibility and success than ever before over the last 10 years! Here are the best 50 albums of the decade, according to me.

Happy first Sunday of 2019!!! We made it bitches! I’m so happy to be here, in the future with you. Okay, let’s get some good news in our bellies this morning.

February 7th was our 14th dating anniversary and our 8th marriage anniversary. The truth is, I didn’t see myself married, in a house we own, with a child I carried, in a place in my life where I don’t want to move away or run off to the next tempting thing. I never thought I’d want stability, but here we are.

Emily Dickinson sent her girlfriend, Nellie, her recipe for Black Cake that was so staggering (two pounds of flour, 19 eggs, etc) that it reads like one of her curiously queer poems. It seems impossible, but suggests the potential for a delicious celebration.

Helen James wins her case and is generally a real American hero I can get behind, new documentary about Black lesbian playwright Lorraine Hansberry, Sarah Waters on 20 years of Tipping the Velvet, Joan Greene is yet another LGBT candidate running in 2018, Melissa Etheridge wants an uprising of love, and more good stuff!

Most of my old hiking companions from Los Angeles are queer. Now I have Goldie, who takes breaks while we walk, just to jump up and kiss me. She places her paws just over my heart.

Hope you’re feeling nostalgic! You have 48 hours to vote for your favorites!
