Lesbian Couple Victorious in Court : Earlier today the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that a lesbian couple should be able to adopt two siblings. From an email from Equality Maine’s executive Director, Betsy Smith: “As many of you know, today’s ruling marks the first time in Maine history that a same-sex […]
As a family of two things are pretty great for us right now. We both work and make enough money to pay our bills, drive a safe vehicle, eat out occasionally (ok, more than that but we’re working on it) and pretty much do as we please. There isn’t often […]
I’ve written about getting more involved in my local queer community here before, and last night I got to experience something new in that arena. Last night I attended my first PFLAG meeting. Upon meeting all the lovely folks at the meeting, my first thought was (even though she is […]
As the Jewish holiday of Purim (Think Halloween crossed with Mardi Gras, with a little St. Patricks Day thrown in for good measure, but unique all on it’s own) passes us by, I’m left thinking a lot about religion, and how the decisions we make about it now will affect […]
