Being LGBT in Juneau, 40 years apart

Wednesday, 7 July 2010 – 8:51 PM | Comments Off on Being LGBT in Juneau, 40 years apart
Being LGBT in Juneau, 40 years apart

Sara Boesser, writer of the weekly News Roundup, and Lauren Tibbitts, leader of the JDHS Gay Straight Alliance, were interviewed on “Call Dr. E” on KTOO radio earlier this week. If you missed the live show, you can listen to “Being LGBT in Juneau” in the KTOO archive HERE.

The show should be very interesting: I’m just having my 40th high school reunion this weekend. The other guest, Lauren Tibbitts, just graduated this summer from the same Juneau high school I attended. I realized I was a lesbian while attending my high school; Lauren realized she was bisexual in the same high school 40 years later. The show will be reflections on some of the differences 40 years can make in the same town being a GLBT teenager.

Thanks to Sara and Lauren for sharing their perspectives as LGBT women in southeast Alaska, and to Dr. Elaine Schroeder for moderating the show.

Sara’s News Roundup 5/30/10

Sunday, 30 May 2010 – 1:49 PM | Comments Off on Sara’s News Roundup 5/30/10
Sara’s News Roundup 5/30/10
I was on vacation over the holiday weekend, so I’m a few days late posting Sara’s NEWS and a special message about her vacation for the month of June. Have a great time, Sara, and I look forward to your return in July!
——
Hello Readers,
I’m writing to let you know I’ll be away from my trusty computer for a month starting tomorrow. I’ll still be able to receive emails, but won’t be in News-send mode.

As a result, my NEWS will pause until I return. My next NEWS will be either July 4th or July 11th.

In the meantime, let’s hope DADT passes the Senate, that California allows same-sex marriage (again!), and that ENDA passes for all of us: gay, lesbian, bi, and trans alike.

. . . Well — a gal can dream, can’t she? :-)

Until then, I wish you all a very good month of June,
Sara
