Funny lady… sometimes, anyway!
Amores, remember that anthology that includes one of my essays? You know the one… pretty blue cover… pink train… lots of gay stuff…. Well… here’s a review of Windy City Queer that just happens to call my piece “hilarious.” Yay! Coming soon… I’m a vegan, but I hate all-natural makeup! I’ll tell you why when [...]
Extra! Extra! Read All About It! In an actual book…
Amores! Do you know what came for me in the mail the other day? This book: It is a collection of ”LGBTQ Dispatches From the Third Coast” and one of the dispatches was written by ME! I’ll admit… I’m notoriously shy about publication, but it is a really good feeling to scan a table [...]
JCrew: Gender Warriors?
I just did something I almost never do – send a letter of SUPPORT to a company. I know… wow! In their recent catalogue, JCrew included an adorable picture of Jenna Lyons, their company president and creative director, painting her son’s toenails neon pink. And then the internets freaked out, writing about how she was [...]
Sigh….
Amores, I’m STILL writing letters to Target and STILL waiting for a considered response. Here’s the latest. I hope you’re still with me. And if you are, don’t forget to send a letter of your own: gregg.steinhafel at target.com, denise.may at target.com, and guest.relations at target.com. Hola Target, I don’t know about you, but this [...]
The sound of a bubble bursting…
The news from Target this week is that talks with the HRC over donating money “broke down” when Target decided it needed more time to think about what political donations mean. I wish they’d started thinking about that BEFORE they donated money to MN Forward! (And anyway… I’m not a huge fan of the HRC.) [...]
Third Letter to Target
Still no answers from Target. I wish they loved me as much as I love them… Sigh… Anyway, here’s my third letter. Dear Esteemed Target Bigwigs, This is my 3rd letter to you. I don’t mean to seem like a deranged stalker or someone with too much time on my hands, but I really want [...]
Why, Target, Why?
Last week I posted my letter to Target, asking them to counter their support for anti-gay political candidates with actual dollars to LGBT friendly organizations. I got back a totally douche-y form letter that answered none of my concerns, so I wrote back. My letter is below, and I encourage you to send one of [...]
Letter Writing Campaign… Join In!
In response to the news that Target donated a boatload of money to some gay-haters, I’ve decided to boycott my very favourite store. This is hard for me, because I love, love, LOVE Target. But I also have, you know, some self-respect. A boycott is only effective if you communicate that you are boycotting, and [...]
