Morning ladies and a Happy Pride! Hope ye are all set for the dyke night tonight. It always amazes me how many lesbians show up for this one night and then disappear off the scene for the rest of the year. It’s like someone lifted a big rainbow-coloured rock and out come the girls. Not that I am complaining, ye are all fabulous! Time to zip around cyber space and see what’s quare out there this week that you might have missed due to partying/poetry writing. We’re breaking records! Literally.. AfterEllen reports

Her new project, Elena Undone, follows a well-known lesbian writer who falls for the wife of a pastor. It was conceived by Conn and her partner, Marina Rice Bader, on a weekend getaway when Bader asked, “Why aren’t there more lesbian movies out there?” The two decided to “give it a go,” and Elena Undone was born.

Granted its Nicole Conn and I sometimes wake up screaming in the middle of the night with flashbacks of Claire of the Moon. The ‘intensity’ and ‘chemistry’ between the leads. The horrible blouses. What an awful awful movie. Still I am open to checking out latest offering. I mean look at it this way, it can’t be any worse. Can it?

From the The Guardian yesterday Strasbourg court rules that states are not obliged to allow gay marriage

Time for Foxwatch, as I like the call stories about Megan ‘What’s the mad yoke up to now’ Fox Megan Fox, a lesbian superhero? It’s just, well, em, lesbian superhero, do I even need to comment?

I was delighted to read about Australia’s first woman prime minister yesterday until the always vigilant click here pointed me to this article on sxnews

Australia’s first female Prime Minister opposed to same-sex marriage

“The Government’s position is very clear that marriage is marriage between a man and a woman,” Gillard told Speers at the time.

Further questioning from Speers prompted Gillard to reveal her personal view on same-sex marriage was the same as the government’s standpoint.

Alex Greenwich, National Convener for Australian Marriage Equality, issued a press release prior to the leadership ballot which served as an open letter to Gillard should she be elected Prime Minister.

“We are writing to Prime Minister Gillard to discuss meeting to discuss ways forward on marriage equality,” it reads.

Do Outrageous Pride Costumes Hurt the LGBT Cause? asks Dana Rudolph of gayrights.change.org

Every Pride I have the same discussion with a straight ally of my acquaintance. After noting the motorcycle dykes leading the Pride parade, and the drag-queen and disco-boy floats, she says something like, “Don’t they realize they’re not helping their cause by dressing like that?”

“Like what?” I prompt her, knowing what she will say.

“So different. So outrageous,” she says. “And that’s all the media ever shows,” she adds, knowing that I will counter that there are also LGBT accountants, bankers, carpenters, and stroller-pushing parents in most parades, as well as LGBT and allied school groups, church organizations, and politicians.

Judging by how the voting is going in our poll so far, you don’t feel the same way. I’m going to finish with the Herald‘s latest headline I just want to move on, says lesbian in sumo wrestler suit assault on ex

Hal wrote a piece on this ‘interesting’ case

Talbot was dressed as a sumo wrestler when the row in The George pub on George’s Street on Halloween night 2008 developed after the victim waved at another party member dressed as a Snickers bar.

Have a great Pride folks!
