memorable travel experience

Looking to heat up those dull chilly winter months? WinterPRIDE, Whistler B.C.’s week long Pride event celebrated their 20th year in operation this past week and boy has this Pride ever grown up! Running from February 5-12, 2012 there were so many things to see and do that this weary traveller may need another holiday just to recover! Check out the bikini and ski pant-clad lesbians at Whistler's Pride.

This year Cyndi Lauper is set to headline the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center's "An Evening With Women: Celebrating Art, Music and Equality" fundraiser. The event will take place April 16, 2011 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. The star-studded evening presented by Linda Perry and Brent Bolthouse will also feature performances by musician/actress Juliette Lewis, singer/songwriter Cat Power and comedian Sarah Silverman.

And how many of them do you reckon read just a little queer?

SheWired talked film and feminism with 'Concussion' director Stacie Passon, producer Rose Troche, and actresses Robin Weigert and Maggie Siff.

Almost.

She is not a victim. Don’t call her one and don’t even think about it to yourself as you’re sitting in a quiet room. She is a wife, partner, friend, co-worker, gay rights activist, wine-lover, and humble spirit. Charlene Strong, age 47, also happens to be a lesbian. Her very private and devastating story made national headline news in 2006 when a flash flood plummeted into Seattle, Washington’s Madison Valley. The effects of the storm killed her wife of nine years, Kate Fleming. In an instant, Strong was thrust into the media spotlight as an activist and film subject depicted in the monumental award-winning Trick Dog Films documentary For My Wife.
