Coach Sappho celebrates Maine and appears on the front page of Queercents today!
Happy, happy Thursday to you. What’s new with you? I want to say:
Congratulations to Maine for legalizing same sex marriage and putting the issue behind them, hopefully once and for all.
I’m sure Maine ‘gets it’ that there are some very pressing domestic issues facing them, locally and nationally, such as the environment and the economy and those are the types of issues all of us, regardless of our differences, need to gather around and work together to improve.
Allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry can only help both Maine’s and the U.S.’s economy as well as help Maine’s communities in many other small, ‘quality of life’ ways. The ‘doom and gloom’ scenarios the right have been putting out there are just that – scenarios, born of fear-based thinking that just doesn’t exist. Worse yet, what a waste of human energy fighting against love. Perhaps eventually these ‘anti-equality’ folks will get it.
The news today keeps getting better as I’ve got some of my own excitement to share…
I’ve been invited to write for a very interesting, visible, and popular GLBT web site – called Queercents.
Have you checked out Queercents? This is a site that hit the ground running a few years ago and hasn’t stopped since. Queercents has experienced rapid growth in content and readership. It was founded by Nina Smith, who really understands the variety of financial issues facing GLBT’s. I just love their tag line,
“We’re here, we’re queer and we’re not going shopping without coupons”.
I want to thank Nina for featuring me and my Queercents blog on their home page today, which I’ve titled:
Talkin’ About Lesbian Love: Secrets to Surviving the Lesbian Love Jungle
Nina notes in the feature – “It’s even rumored recently ‘out’ actress Kelly McGillis may be calling Coach Sappho for tips on surviving the lesbian love jungle”!
Well – we’d be glad to invite Kelly to join us here at Coach Sappho. Kelly, you’d fit in here perfectly. Kelly, check out Lez Rendezvous!
Queercents has a bevy of authors and topical discussions, all related in some way to GLBT’s and finances. Be sure to check them out, it’s high quality stuff.
Savor each moment today!
