Butch on Tap: Wait for it ...

I would like to talk about a serious problem. Something so rampant and so disturbing that there should be a slew of 501(c)3 non-profit organizations dedicated to eradicating it, or maybe a telethon:

Waiting for my femme to get ready.

Seriously. I feel like I spend half my life waiting for her to be ready. Ok, that’s an exaggeration, it’s probably only a quarter of my life. But. Still.

Let me paint the picture for you.

Two weeks ago, the San Diego Women's Chorus (SDWC) held their annual Spring concert, which also commemorated the 25th anniversary of the local all-women singing organization.

Butch on Tap: Behind enemy lines

So, I just made it out of the ladies' room unscathed. This is a daily stress for me. Allow me to explain.

For a butch, using a public restroom is one of the worst things.

I don't present myself as a typical woman, right? And, I certainly am no lady.

This makes a trip into the ladies' room a lot like a trip across enemy lines.

I try to get in, take care of business, wash my hands, and get out as fast as possible - without getting shot.

Butch on Tap: Tapping in

(Editor's Note: SDGLN is pleased to welcome our newest contributor, "Butch Jaxon." Butch recently started a blog about beer, but her writing quickly took a sharp turn and it became more about what it is like to experience the world as a butch lesbian. Her insight and honesty when describing situations -- that many of us may take for granted -- was refreshing. For now, she will write using a pseudonym. We hope you enjoy her experiences.)

When SDGLN asked me if they could repost my blog, I was delighted.

Allow me to introduce myself.

PALM SPRINGS -- Thank you for following our walk through the weekend in fabulous Palm Springs.

Continuing on … after meeting up at the Hyatt on Palm Canyon Drive for a quick drink with friends who'd just arrived from San Diego that afternoon, we made our way over to the Palm Springs Convention Center for an unexpected Red Carpet with Chaka Khan.

This was a blissful surprise because previously we had no indication she'd be doing any press.

April 17th, 2012

Many of you understand the struggle that we, as members of the LGBT community, face in coming out.

No matter how much things have changed in society, in many parts of the country (let alone the world) and within various religious, societal, and cultural groups, the stigmas associated with being a lesbian, a gay man, a bisexual person, or a transgendered individual, are still very real.
