Sarah Thomas Pride: Why should I go?


Thursday night, my girlfriend and I went to Lilithfair in Kansas City, Mo. For those of you who don’t know lilithfair is “the celebration of women in music”. Lilithfair was hands down the most lesbian thing I’ve ever been to. Regardless of gender or sexual orientation, everyone there was united by a common front even if it was a simple and shallow as loving the same artists. I realized that night, I have never once gone to any queer event and felt this overwhelming since of kinship.

Jeff Penha Where my girls at?

I have a burning question on my mind, where are all the young lesbians??? I know you are out there, come out and show yourselves.....please.

When you think of my statement are you not confused, or do you agree with me? Reason being that I think this is a concern is because I don't see a huge number of them AS MUCH as I see everyone else in the GLBT community. Hell I see more T and this is Nebraska we are talking about. Lincoln does have the highest gay pop-per-cap (though most of the nu… Continue

Sarah Thomas Heartland ( <3land) the webseries Casting Call

Sindu, Art and Sarah are working on producing a web series about a group of young LGBTQ activists in Lincoln, NE. Themes include identity development, underage drinking, sexuality, gender
politics and gaming. We hope to produce something that reflects what it’s like
to find yourself and your identity in the Midwest. We wrote this loosely based
on our own experiences in Lincoln, and coming to terms with queer identity in

Robin Whisman Say Thanks to Our Friends!


Recently, I testified about a dangerous compromise on patients’ health. I was a tad nervous, as I had never been at a public hearing on a policy before. (Check out Another State Board Rejects Sexual Orientation Language in the Journal Star for more info.) Thankfully, I knew that I had friends.

Professional mental health associations in Nebras… Continue

Sindu Adrian How Hard Is It to Be a T-Friendly Bar? Come On, Q.

I was at the Q tonight and lo and behold, there were jokes about tranny-f*ckers. The word was thrown around in the same ways that the words "fag" or "homo" might be in straight male contexts. What's wrong with being a tranny-f*cker?

The MC was talking about sleeping with drag queens and was called a tranny-f*cker by one of the workers. The situation could have been salvaged by saying something to the effect of "what's wrong with that?" But it wasn't. Instead, there was

Heath Harding Gay Pride is my gay Thanksgiving!

I clearly remember my first gay party after I came out. I was so excited that I wasn’t alone. I had felt so isolated for years. It had taken me a whole year to find other homos in Manhattan, KS. In one night only it suddenly went from “gay, party of one – the loneliest number” to “gay, party of 40.”

Heath Harding Who is Driving the Bus?

Over the last ten years I have been invited by the people in my life and various situations to reflect on my behavior (often bad behavior.)


Ten years ago I was pushed to reflect by Stephen, my partner at the time. He refused to help me work out issues I had with my father because I was trying to use Stephen as a surrogate for my father. (I was being a jerk to say the least!) With Stephen’s insistence, I went to counseling for a year. It w

James Baldus Does softball make you a lesbian?

Once again a supreme court nominee is facing public scrutiny. Fair scrutiny of nominees is an important part of our judicial system. But this time, knowing that they cannot derail this nominee, some conservatives are using this chance to bash gays.

This all started with the Wall Street Journal printed a picture of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan playing softball. This was then followed up by the New York Pos… Continue

Sarah Thomas By Choice


There are several things in my life that I have no choice over; I have no choice over where I was born or what people choose to assume about me because of it. I have never been able to control the weather despite the countless times I’ve tried. But I do have the choice to listen to the weather channel and plan accordingly. I can’t help the fact that I’m not even yet 24 years old and I’m already finding grey hairs on my head, but I could cho… Continue

Sindu Adrian Discovery Health, how I hate your Sex Change programs

I watched "Sex Change" on Discovery Health today. The info section on the program on my DVR said, "Him to Her: Body builder and photographer used to be a woman."

Ok, so maybe the person typing up the info was a bigot, or just very ignorant. How is focusing on female-to-male Loren Cameron a "him to her" special?

The program valiantly tried to educate its mainstream viewers about the struggles people face when going through sex reassignment surgery.

David Csontos GAY THEATER IN LINCOLN...AND TAKING IT ON THE ROAD...

Well...doing gay theater in Lincoln (as opposed to Omaha) is certainly...a challenge! And li'l ol' me never set out to be a trail blazer! ;)

We recently finished a production at UNL of 2 one-act plays that I wrote and directed: 'My Night With Rock Hudson' and 'I Am My Imaginary Friend'. All told, it was successful - in the sense that the cast did a swell job and audiences that were able to make it there enjoyed it.

But throughout the process - and since the produ

Sindu Adrian Defining gender variance, and what that means for me

In my last post, I defined basic terms important to the discussions of gender and sex issues in our community. And even though that post was made only a few minutes ago, I also think it's important to offer this post in conjunction. Because even though that was a lengthy blog that raised some hairy issues, it's important that you know where I'm coming from personally and why these issues matter to me.
