Have a Gay New Year!

Happy New Year, my lovely lesbionic friends!

Yes, I know, I'm late. And I haven't posted in awhile. 

After this post you will, because I am about to tell you all how to make 2013 the year of the gay! Ok, so some people would say that 2012 was the year of the gay. After all, we got VICTORY IN ALL FOUR BALLOT MEASURE STATES

regarding marriage equality, thus making history! WOOHOO!  

(I like to think I had something to do with that, at least in Maine, since I phone banked there like nobody's business).

Now, aside from these wonderful things that occurred on the equality side of things, did you know that there are ways to make your own life even more gay this year?

Here is a list of things for you to do to have a great, gay new year!

1. BE VISIBLE

That's right, dykes. Know  how you always see your straight friends posting photos of themselves kissing and whatnot all over social media? Well, guess what. OMFG WE CAN DO IT TOO!

Let everyone in on your girl lovin' ways this year, lovelies!

2. Wear the Rainbow.

I am not saying you need to go around looking like this

but I am saying you can show your 

If you don't wanna go around looking like a dolled up gay Barbie doll, you can always get tasteful- and often non- rainbow- attire at one of the plethora of LGBT pride sites. Most of them support equality with some of their money, too. A good one is Proud Threads. Here is a photo of one of their models in one of their seriously rad t-shirts.

Hey, it even glows in the dark! I swear, I'd snap up half their inventory if I could afford it.

3. Respect Your Elders.

This is one that I am serious as a heart attack about, dykes! These people paved the way with events like Stonewall

that made it possible for it to be so OMFG OK TO BE GAY!  today. Hell, some would even argue that it is fashionable to be gay these days. Sure, we still have our share of problems, but we ain't got nothin' on them. Remember them, respect them, help them.

4. Accessorize!

This kind of ties in with numero uno, but you really can do a little something to make yourself visible even without wearing something gay. Gay up your laptop or smartphone

and you're all set to be visible without even trying! Let's face it, sometimes the looks we get for stuff like that are fun. It's also a great conversation starter. So go ahead and get a stick for your computer or a case for your phone that screams I'm Queer.

5. Go to a Gay Wedding.

No. I am serious. For real. Whether you're one of the brides, a member of the wedding party, or a guest, there's no better way to celebrate the victories of 2012 than to take advantage of newfound rights - or help a happy couple celebrate- than to be there in the flesh in 2013. Think of all the straight weddings you've been to. Time for a gay one! It is sure to be totes fab!

Well dykes, there you have it. Five great ways to make 2013 decidedly 

Man Hating Feminist Dyke- Not I!

Whew! Lessies! I'm back. I hate that I abandoned this place for so long, but I have had sooooo much going on. Anyway, you lovely ladies deserve an explanation, so, alas, here it is! Firstly, I have been all caught up blogging for Veracity Stew. As a 

y'all know I simply can't give up the chance to voice the truth about the radical right. I have quite a few articles there, and that's my author link! Check me out! 

Also, I have been building my online IT business

as I prepare the rest of my life. 

I'm also totes single again (what else is new?) and really wish it weren't so. However, you know what they say..better to be single than with Ms. Wrong. 

But don't worry, this dykedellic place will always be my baby. I might lag sometimes, but I promise I'll always come back. It is important to have a platform though, which brings me to what inspired me to post here tonight. In my speaking out against the 

that the lady- hating GOP

is waging, I was accused of being...wait for it....

A MAN HATING DYKE. 

Now, this simply is not true. I absolutely do not hate men. I hate it when they won't respect my being a lesbian, when they make sexual advances, and, most of all, when they try to control women's health because 

but some men- and many ignorant, overly religious women- seem to think otherwise.

Speaking out against men making decisions about things that simply do not concern them and which they certainly don't understand does not mean I am a man- hating dyke. It means I am a smart, independent woman who knows her own mind, and realizes that the government does not belong in my vagina, and I don't need a panel of men to make my health decisions. 

Yes, boys, I am a 

But, for the last time, it doesn't mean I hate you. The end.

Shannon is a Youtubing Atheist!

Yo, Lesbos! I am sorry I have not been around, but, Guess WHAT???


Well, after months and months of scrimping and pinching to make ends meet, Shannon finally has a gasp! Job. 


Yep, Lesbos, I am back in the restaurant world, working in a sub shop.

(You stalkers didn't think I was gonna tell you which one I work at, did you??)

Between that and freelance writing on Surface Earth, I have been one busy little dyke! Anyway, as usual, I am all over the net, promoting our cause, so you guys should like, totally check me out. I even gave you the link! Click!

But, on to why this post is here. Yep, dykes, I have crossed over into being not just an atheist, but a YouTubing Atheist.

Now, y'all know by now how much I OMFG HATE ORGANIZED RELIGION. 

Well, now, I have taken that a step further, dykes, and joined the thousands of youtubers who have decided to expose the harms of religion to the rest of the thinking world. What does this have to do with being a lesbian you ask? Well, I'll tell ya! Or rather, I'll show ya. Firstly, here is a video on the absurdity of the LGBT THEIST.

And, for the very last time, no matter how much you ask, 

I DO NOT DATE THEISTS.

Here is why:

I don't mean to sound harsh with that last line, lovelies, but I guess I am just way past tired of people telling me how wrong I am for that deal breaker. 

Anyway, again, I am sooooo sorry for my absence! Did y'all miss me? I promise to be more *ahem* regular in my postings. Hope you enjoy the vids!  Ta Ta!

Am I in LOVE?!?!?!

Heya Dykes! I know it's been a hot minute since I posted, but I was away 

with only shitty motel internet. Apologies for the delay! I promise I got something that will make up for the wait! You see, homos, Shannon just might be on her way to gasp! 

Falling in LOVE!

Well, seeing as we just met yesterday, this proclamation is certainly more than a little premature. It is promising, though, because y'all know how long Shannon has been waiting to find OMFG THE ONE. You know, the key that fits into her ignition.

There have been many times it seemed this person had been found, but to no avail, so of course I am treading carefully. This time, though, it feels like it just might be that perfect balance.

Y'all know what I am talking about, right? Sometimes you just know, no doubts, no reservations. Looks very promising, as this person embodies all the things I love about queer life and then some. Firstly, and most importantly, Atheism.

And you fags know that is just about the biggest requirement dating wise for me. Even better, my feeling that

is shared, so I never have to worry about being offensive or respecting something that deserves nothing but contempt.

Secondly, Feminism.

with the understanding that 

thanks to the current GOP war on women, and is socially responsible enough to do something about it, so, of course, this person is also an Activist Like ME. 

What more could I ask for, you ask? Well, volunteering at 

with as big a passion for LGBT Equality as I have

Annnnddd...drumroll please! As if that wasn't enough, Vegetarian Eating!

Y'all know I love some health food that keeps you looking good and feeling even better. With my recent commitment to juicing

someone who shares my commitment to healthy, environmentally responsible eating definitely rocks, and is the tastiest icing on an already perfect cake.

Oh, and as if all that weren't enough, my Non Monogamous Ways are embraced!

Again, what more could I ask for?

Hooray for Compatible Lesbian Love!
