EDITORIAL CORNER THIS MONTH

The Road TO Oz 

The holiday season provides a host of things that we have all come to expect each year: good will, a helping hand, a little more patience from strangers, and the classics on television - no, not Santa on the Norelco razor. I’m referring to A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story, A Wonderful Life and the Nutcracker ballet.  I was lounging around home last holiday season and watched yet another classic, the Wizard of Oz, which I hadn’t seen in years. I wondered, is Dorothy really so different than us? A girl lost in a far off land, yearning to find her way home. They say that home is where the heart is, so perhaps we are trying to find home as well. She enlists the help of many strangers to assist her along the way, only to discover that she alone had the power to make her dream come true

There is always that day when you look in the mirror and realize that regardless of whether your “girl” desires are fashion, passion, or bedroom fantasy, they don’t seem to be going away. You acknowledge, for the first time, that this is not a phase that will pass, nor can you pretend it will never happen again. What an exciting – and horrifying moment! Has the tornado just plucked you from out of your own dream and dropped you into reality? Well, you’re not in Kansas anymore, that’s for sure! Of course you know you can’t go back the way you came, because you don’t even know how you got here in the first place. So now what? Glenda, good witch of the North, had the right answer, “it’s always best to start at the beginning.”  Read More 

Letters To The Editor: (Regarding Last weeks Editorial: Victims Or Villains)

"No one can hide behind being TG to excuse inappropriate behavior.  The bar is in business
to make a fair profit, not provide a charity for the TG community." Juliann Barett

"Loved your article, needed to be said" Julie Harbour

"Amen to that!   Excellent column, and needed to be said." Ronnie

"Thank you for sending your newsletter. The message boards have, for the most part, been giving one side of the story regarding the bar. It's nice to hear the other side." Jeri

"I  was relieved to hear that you came to the same conclusions we did:
that it was the crap behavior of some in the trans-community that caused
the fracas."
Helen Boyd

"The only way that we, as a community, can change society's views
about us is by proving that we are adults, and that we are respectful
of other's spaces and needs." Morwen, New Orleans
