Four dreaded words
They can ride in on e-mail electrons, arrive embedded in a neatly typed cover letter, or be casually spoken in the middle of an otherwise mundane conversation. Their power lies in the ability to force you to react with a smile, as if you’ve waited all day to hear them, and in their potential to put you in an impossibly delicate position. They are the four words of the apocalypse.
By now you’ve...
Interview: Melissa Etheridge
Melissa Etheridge is easily one of the all-time greatest female rock icons. With her next cd coming out April 27 on Island Records, Melissa returns to her rock roots. And she is truly at the top of her game.
Margo: Your new cd, Fearless Love, is such big sprawling rock n roll, I get this image of you just defying gravity and bungee jumping onto stage with some of these songs.
Melissa: (laughs)...

He’s so pretty in pink
For the first few months I knew Our Big Gayborhood writer Chris Hemming, he didn’t really impress me as a gay guy. Not that he’s closeted in any way. I’m just slow.
See, the Goddess blessed my girlfriend, Doll, with gaydar sophisticated enough to detect traces of homosexuality down to the nanoscale. And due to the sensitivity of her apparatus (heh), she’s never really met anyone who doesn’t...
Health/Insurance Reform is Now a Pre-existing Condition
It’s time to get a nice veggie tray ready for the Death Panel’s visit next week, according to OBG writer John Dozer.
At this momentous time in the history of our country, okay not momentous enough to completely remove the face of The Very Sad Golfer from the headlines, but a big day nonetheless, we asked the fantabulous Our Big Gayborhood writers to weigh in on the passage of the health care...
We Weren’t Trying To Be Nice – Part 2 of 2
Fake Cowgirl (Republican)
So where was I? Oh, yeah, Starr Ann and I were in the middle of a delightful day at the County Fair doing everything we could think of to aggravate the conservatives.

Straight girls in their natural habitat
You never had so much fun with your girlfriends
I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow I’ve unconsciously formed this gay elitist attitude that straight women don’t really know how to make the most of sex. I’m not real proud to admit I’ve gradually kinda internally defined straight women as females who are able to endure the heterosexual act without wanting to kill themselves afterward....
We weren’t trying to be nice – Part 1
Yesterday, Starr Ann got so stirred up about all the obstructionist conservatives in Congress, she had to let off steam somehow. So right around noon she said, “Margo, we need to go taunt some Republicans.”
That sounded good to me, but these days, with so many conservatives wanting to distance themselves from the wingnut Tea Partiers, you can barely find two out-and-out Republicans to rub together....
The Next Big…
Rocky Horror Picture Show has its moments, and the erotic, “swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh” song titled “Don’t Dream It” is one of the best. It’s a visceral invitation to make real your most compelling dreams, to live the life that whispers and pleads for notice deep within your heart.
Yet, as vital as the being is to the dreaming, it is the dream itself that makes all realization...
