"What do you attribute your Lesbianism to?" "Luck"
When life gets you down, just remember: Us queers are better off than everyone, no matter what they say.
Nothing can beat knowing what you and having the courage to go after it. Lesbian lady luck will always be on our side.
Cheers!

I have not been able to post anything for almost a month, and with that I apologize to the loyal readers of this blog.
Lately, I’ve literally run out of things lesbian to talk about. There have been many things going on.
Like the recent tragedy that befell our family a week ago when typhoon Ondoy (international name Ketsana). The whole Philippines was victimized by a raging typhoon that dumped a week’s worth of rain. If you haven’t heard about it, or for those who are not tired of it yet, the gist of the calamity can be found here:
The floodwater reached the roof of our house and we’ve done nothing but clean and wash everything for the past week. I personally have blow dried photos – only about 10% of my childhood album was recoverable.
With the tragedy that has fallen our country, and many will be mad at me for this thought, but I actually got ashamed that all these years I have been doing nothing but gripe about gay and lesbian rights, devoting thousands of man hours for it, when so many people in our country don’t even have food and shelter.
I’m greatly reconsidering moving my advocacy priority into a greener and more sustainable area – that of saving the earth.
Should lesbiand and gays be refocusing on the green movement?
Climate change has such a big impact on everyone, straight and gay people alike, that if we don’t all fight for it, then there would be no lesbians on earth to even have the basic of rights.

Some people think we have it easy pride-marching around in colorful boas (see baguio pride march post)and spending friday nights having first-times in public places, but there are 9 reasons why being a feminist lesbian is not as easy as you think:
1. You look at somebody in the bathroom and they think you’re trying to hit on them. Excuse me, we have taste.
2. You can’t wear a rainbow shirt without being teased about going to an out rally.
3. Gay brands seldom go on sale. And when they do, it’s usually because they’ll close down soon.
4. You can’t look tomboy (baggy jeans, huge shirt, bling, rubber shoes) just for the hang of it. It will ‘reinforce the stereotype’.
5. When somebody makes an incorrect statement in front of you, everybody expects you to be angry.
6. People around you have the hardest time choosing words. “Uhm, you know, your, uh… homosexual power dynamics”.

Lesbian Bonnie Perry is now a bishop!
Whoops, did I just speak too soon?
The lesbian (and out) bishop Rev. Bonnie Perry is actually just a candidate out of three. Whoops.
August 1, 2009, three candidates for the position of the ninth diocesan bishop: the Rev. Mariann Budde, the Rev. Bonnie Perry and Rev. Brian Prior.

I know, I know, being a lesbian requires me to actually be politically correct and socialist and indie, but I have to have these guilty pleasures, or else I’ll go crazy!
But hiding behind the closet about these lesbian guilty pleasures are driving me crazy anyway. I’m coming clean and listing down the guilty pleasures I have, just please don’t throw a piece of stinky tofu at me!

This hilarious video of Commitment Ceremony between two lesbians was used for the She Likes Girls 3 (also co-directed by Julie Goldman). With lyrics like:
“Alright give me the salad, cuz I’m a lesbian and lesbian’s have to order salad’s….”
“Literally there are 50 million people fucking me in my vagina right now”
“You’ll buy the car and I’ll fix the tyre – cause am butch!”
“We’ll have a dog and a couple a kids, even tough it’ll be difficult to adopt your biological baby because techinicaly were not really a family in the eyes of the church and we should be seperatedddddddd”
You’re sure to laugh your guts out. Here’s the music video:
Hey gays, Why would you want to have a “marriage” anyway. It’s just a word, its just 1500 rights. Why you can’t you just settle with a commitment ceremony, it’s like the same thing, only completely discriminatory.

And so, the world is fair after all.
Iceland leads the world in what would be a historic feat: the landing of an openly gay woman as head of state. Johanna Sigurdardottir (how the heck do you pronounce that?), social affairs minister of Iceland, is the Social Democratic Alliance Party’s apple of the eye to lead an interim government. And she is G-A-Y GAY!
Johanna Sigurdardottir, Finland (and the world's) first
