Two Tune Tuesday: Boys With Pretty Voices
Recent Interview
While I was in Milwaukee, I did an interview for a local paper and entirely forgot to mention it. It’s a little more recent then a million others I’ve done, so it might answer some questions about what the hell I’m doing in WI & other mysteries of life. (I especially love the bit about how my “writing exudes a Midwestern no-nonsense practicality.”)
WTF NY?!
It’s damned pathetic that same sex marriage isn’t a done deal in NYS yet, but senators are still waffling? Get with the program, folks. You’re on the wrong side of history. (via Queerty)
PSA for the Gay in Singapore
I liked it.
Moms Like Hir
Nice interview with a genderqueer mom on Bilerico today.
Happy Moms Day
A very happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there – male, female, or otherwise.
& To our own two, of course. As May babies, we have always shared the week with our moms, and sometimes even the day itself (when the 13th lands on a Sunday).
Turning 40
In a few days, we’ll turn 40. People have asked if there’s anything in particular we want, which is sweet.
So here’s the list:
- Betty needs a job, or more clients.
- You can always make a donation to help us do what we do, or make a donation to NCTE in our name.
- You can make a donation to The Elephant Sanctuary in Helen’s name, or give to the NSAL in Betty’s name.
- You can buy something for one of us from our Amazon WishList:
Or you can just wish us a happy 40th in the comments below!

Ashley Altadonna
When we were in Milwaukee, we were interviewed for a documentary called Making the Cut. I’m told Julia Serano was, too, when she was there recently as well. The film is being made by a young woman who is trying various ways to raise funds for her own genital surgery, and is in the process raising awareness about the financial issues behind changing genders legally.
Worthy project, no? On top of that, she’s made some other cool films. To help her out, you can make a donation via PayPal via her website, or you can buy another cool short film of hers, or you can pass this message on via Facebook or other social networking sites.
Andrade Given 60 More Years in Prison
Angie Zapata’s murderer Allen Andrade, was given another 60 years of prison on top of the life imprisonment for her death. Why? Proof that he was a habitual criminal, and had committe six prior felonies.
If only he had been serving life for one of those felonies, she would be alive now. But at the very least, he’s off the streets for good.
