Gay Life Volume 34, Number 4

I was a feminist long before I worked for Gay Life. But despite obvious opportunities for overlap, feminist issues have taken a backseat to LGBT issues in my life. The recent Planned Parenthood–Komen Foundation showdown shook me out of my temporary passivity. As has guest commenter Thinking Dyke (p. 19). As has this month’s feature story: In honor of Women’s History Month we surveyed Baltimoreans and asked them to describe their “Sheroes,” the LBT women in their lives who they admire most. While answers included anyone from Madonna to Mom, there were seven prominent LBT Maryland women who took time to talk us (p. 16).

Now we’re asking the rest of you to talk to us. Is something on your mind? Do you find yourself proud, angry, intrigued, or elated? Tell us in 500 words or less your thoughts on a topic affecting Baltimore’s LGBT communities and you could see your words in an upcoming issue.
