Collective Nouns

May 24, 2006 | Author

A friend asked what would be the collective noun for a group of gay men. I responded:

I think it depends on various factors:

a fist of otherwise unspecified gay men a star of twinks a pelt of bears a cruise or a hankie of gay bars a tosca of opera queens a roundup or a lasso of gay cowboys

Same with lesbians:

a rouge of femmes a bench (shortened from workbench) of butches a daddy or a diesel of dykes a scoop of earth mothers a lick or a fist of lesbians

Also:

a quirk or quark of queers a cadre of LGBTQ activists a buffet of bisexuals (waffle is also used, but may be considered disparaging) a kate of genderqueers

For any of us, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer:

a family of lovers

Goddamn it. A *family*. Is that so complicated?

Sexual Sovereignty

April 15, 2005 | Author

Inspiring words from the strong, beautiful, and smart Hanne Blank:

Sexual sovereignty: The only crown fit to be worn by the rebel, the outcast, the heretic, the renegade, the in-betweener, the I-don’t-know-and-you-don’t-either, the one who takes their half out of the middle. I also offer you the concept of sovereign identity as a shield, as a form of armor and empowerment.

Read the essay. Damn, that woman can write. And think.
