Lori is a 47-year-old queer activist, adoptive single parent, blogger, writer, lover, daughter, and friend who revels in her Iowa roots and her California life.

Three kids – all teenagers. If you’ve never tried it, don’t. But all praise for Lori because those particular teenagers are some mighty fine ones.

Lori has traveled far and wide to land in California, where she happily wears hats and slowly grows accustomed to being in “a real-live grownup relationship.”

With humor and grace, Lori provides a keen view into one lesbian’s life — a view that rings with the clarity of truth not only for all lesbians, but also for mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, lovers and those we meet on the street.
