The Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Pride Festival is coming up soon, and so I went to their website to find out which weekend it will fall on since my wife and I try to attend each year. Well this year we are in for a special treat because when I visited LongBeachPride.com I saw this...
...and my mouth dropped! Queen Latifah, long time rumored celebrity lesbian, is officially set to headline the main stage at this year's Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Pride Festival on Saturday May 19th, 2012.

 A message about infertility from AttainFertility.com:
What is infertility? Infertility affects about 7.2 million U.S. men and women each year and is a condition of the reproductive system that makes it harder, and often impossible, to get pregnant without medical assistance. About 40% of fertility problems are female-factor, about 40% are male-factor and about 20% are either both or unknown.
Infertility causes
There are numerous causes of infertility, ranging from medical problems that people are born with to age-related health problems for women. Some women and men have unexplained infertility, and no cause may ever be found.
Here are 5 of the most common causes of infertility.
- Age (Fertility declines starting in a woman's 20s)
- Weight (Being severely under- or overweight)
- Issues with the reproductive organs
- Sexually transmitted disease (STDs)
- Issues with sperm
Know when it’s time to seek treatment
Over 30% of patients wait more than 2 years before seeing a fertility specialist, which is too long. If a woman is under 35 and has been trying for more than 12 months without success, or 35+ and has been trying for more than 6 months, she meets the clinical definition of being infertile and should see a specialist. Men and women who have a medical condition or family history of infertility should see a specialist right away.
Infertility treatments
While many people most commonly associate fertility treatment with IVF, in fact only about 5% of fertility patients ever need IVF. Some treatments may be as simple as taking fertility drugs or undergoing a simple medical procedure.
Infertility prevention
While some cases of infertility are not preventable, steps can be taken to protect fertility health. Here are 5 things that boost fertility:
- Stop smoking.
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Get tested for STDs.
- Avoid drugs and alcohol.

 As a lesbian mom, I sometimes wonder what goes through the minds of my children as we live our life together.
Reading the book "Gringa: A Contradictory Girlhood", I got a glimpse into what it might be like as the child of a lesbian mom like myself through the story of author Melissa Hart...
Torn between the high socioeconomic status of her father and the bohemian lifestyle of her mother, Melissa Hart tells a compelling story of contradiction in this coming-of-age memoir. Set in 1970s Southern California, Gringa is the story of a young girl conflicted by two extremes. On the one hand theres life with her mother, who leaves her father to begin a lesbian relationship, taking Hart and her two siblings along. Hart tells of her moms new life in a Hispanic neighborhood of Oxnard, California, and how these new surroundings begin to positively shape Hart herself. At the opposite extreme is her fathers white-bread well-to-do security, which is predictable and stable and boring. Hart is made all the more fraught with frustration when a judge rules that being raised by two women is unnatural and grants her father primary custody.
Hart weaves a powerful story of fleeting moments with her mother, of her unfolding adoration of Oxnards Latino culture, and of the ways in which shes molded by the polarity of her parents worldviews. Hart is faced with opposing ideals, caught between what she is supposed to want and what she actually desires. Gringa offers a touching, reflective look at one girls struggle with the dichotomies of class, culture, and sexuality.
This book made me laugh, and it made me cry - but mostly it opened my eyes to how precious each moment is with your children when you're an out lesbian. I encourage you to buy this book and read it, then tell your other lesbian mom friends about it too. Find it on Amazon or in a bookstore near you.
