There’s more on Swoopes’ coming out in this week’s People, including pictures of her and partner Alisa Scott. Check it out, if only to remind yourself that Swoopes is hot stuff. The more we hear about her story, the more we’re struck by the parallels with Hothouse fave Cynthia Nixon. You know, […]

So lesbian a cappella is a thing, huh? A local Bay Area paper profiles Voices Lesbian Choral Ensemble, an all-women a cappella group founded in 1988.

The Manhattan Mustangs, an LGBT country & western dance club, will be hosting their annual Harvest Moon Ball tonight at the Center (208 W. 13th St.).

AfterEllen.com offers a lengthy Q&A with Sarah, the blonde, ostensibly straight ANTM contestant who hooked up with gender-bending Kim just prior to getting booted from the show after one too many stumbles on the catwalk.

Check out yesterday’s Arts section for the profile of playwright Sarah Schulman, a lesbian who writes about lesbians and who’s long felt that her work’s been marginalized because of it.
