The Lesbian Mom Next Door is Starting the Holidays Right

Like many red-blooded, middle-class American lesbian moms, we spend the month of December decorating, overeating, shopping, visiting relatives and watching holiday television on DVD. We started with a bang December first by watching the original stop-motion Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer at our eleven year-old daughter’s request. She thought it would be a memorable beginning to the 2006 holiday season.

Well, you could say that–we’re not likely to forget that this was the year it was mere seconds into the movie before the social commentary started. The older two were aghast that Donner was so critical of his newborn son, that Santa was red-nosed intolerant, and I couldn’t help pointing out that not only was Hermie a dentist wanna-be, he had clearly been a theatre major in elf college, and with that hair was probably playing for our team. Maybe that was why he would “never fit in.”

This was when my wife suggested we were ruining it for our three year-old (so I shut up and started taking notes), but even he said, “Santa is not a nice guy,” when Santa told Donner he “should be ashamed of himself” because his son was different than all the rest.

Reporting on Day 9 of GLBT History Month

Today is day 9 of GLBT History Month. In case you live in a closet and don’t yet know: GLBT is a popular acronym for gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender. We’re also now known as LGBT. I have no preference between these two acronyms. We used to be just GLB. Then came T.

Some folks wish to tack on an I for intersex and/or a Q for queer. That’s fine with me too. There’s more.

Such as another Q for questioning.

U for unsure.

A for ally.

Another A for asexual.

P for pansexual or polyamorous.

O for omnisexual.

If you’re S for straight, I guess you’re SOL, LOL. Unless you’re straight but not narrow AKA an ally.

Although so many letters together seem damn ridiculous, they’re A-OK with me as well. I’m pretty sure I don’t know all the acronyms that exist in attempting to be inclusive. I’m sure the acronyms and other labels will increase for those of us who are LGBTIQUAPOSBCDEFHJKMNRVWXYZ123…

GLBT’s have a rich and diverse history. S’s have a rich and diverse history too. H’s for humans also have a rich and diverse history. But let’s take some time to focus on GLBT history. Our history has been much ignored. When not ignored, it’s too often been maligned. We need to reclaim our history and to educate others about it.

Lesbian Threatened with Arrest for T-shirt

A Lesbian who was wearing a T-shirt promoting lesbianism claims she was forced to leave a federal building Monday by a security guard who didn’t approve of her attire.Lapriss Gilbert said she was picking up a Social Security card for her son when the guard was offended by her “lesbian.com” shirt and threatened her with arrest.

She was eventually allowed inside after her mother called police, according to a Los Angeles Daily News story.

The guard, whose name was not immediately available, works for Paragon Security, which contracts with the Department of Homeland Security.

Lori Haley, a spokeswoman within the Homeland Security Department, said the guard’s actions were inappropriate and unacceptable.

“We have notified his company, Paragon, of our position in the matter,” Haley said.

A message left with Paragon Security was not immediately returned Monday night.

Gilbert said the guard cited a document, the Rules and Regulations Governing Conduct on Federal Property, as proof he had jurisdiction over her clothing. The document does not address what type of clothing is allowed in federal buildings.

Gilbert called the guard’s actions “shocking.”
