It’s VQ Comes Out: our week-long series honoring National Coming Out Day and LGBT History month. Susan’s story involves … Women’s Studies! And a little epistemology. How do you come out when you are out? ~ The Editors [hr] When did you come out (or how many times, if it’s been a multilayered process)? […]
As VillageQ’s resident Canadian blogger, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that, up here, the government is open for business. I’m not really gloating here — our prime minister, Stephen Harper, is and has been quite capable of his own version of shutting government down (in […]
If you’re reading this, it means my children are back in school. And while I would weep for joy, there’s no point, because I’m just going to pull them out again tomorrow for a few hours to go to Rosh Hashanah services. It’s a bit of a cruel joke, the […]
You know, I’ve never particularly felt the need to defend my parenting skills as a queer mom. Maybe it’s because I have a supportive extended family: my own parents, my mother-in-law, my brother, all my cousins — even our sperm donor’s family — were (and still are) thrilled and excited […]

This piece first appeared in Lillith, was excerpted in Ms., and was included in the Lambda Literary Award-nominated anthology Here Come The Brides. Do you have a story […]
The school playground yesterday afternoon was dotted with more pink than usual, and that was when I realized that — once again — I’d completely forgotten about Pink Shirt Day. April 10, apparently, was the Day of Pink, or, as it’s more succinctly known, “the international day against bullying, discrimination, […]
This post is brought to you by insomnia. I was awake from two-ish until well past four-ish last night, as was my partner, with our two children making guest appearances in our little show of sleeplessness. In some ways, it was good that they both needed resettling around four: I […]
Greetings from sunny Boca Raton, Florida! Okay, fine. I’m not actually in sunny Boca Raton, Florida. Yet. I’m in grey, snowy, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Canada (where we spell it “grey”). But I’m writing this post in advance, because I’m not going to bring my computer on vacation. And boy, I […]
