So a favorite litte birdy has informed me that a story called Bishop, another one in the works is a sequel LONG LONG overdue to No Obligation, and for you Whedon types a new Firefly chapter to boot....

Same little birdie also may need so encouragement and cheering from the peanut gallery to get her in the right frames of mind to get at them.

So p;ease everyone clap you hands and say "I do believe in fairies. I do believe in fairies..." May not help, but at least I'll feel better :)

I've got a question for everyone

If in your country (USA here) there ceased to be a rigid split about what is acceptable as boy cloths or girl clothes? How would this new found freedom affect your life? If manufacturers made female clothes but they were cut properly to fit on a male body? The result being anyone can go anywhere dressed as they wished.

would you switch to an all female style wardrobe?
Would it be enough for you with or without hormones?
Would surgery still be an imperative to finish making mind and body match?

I've just finished my fourth go round with Randalynn's "No Obligation" I get sucked into it almost immediately and have to keep reading it until I'm finished. There are some others like that, but this is one I keep going back to and just love it.

Got me wondering what stories others have to read until they finish, no matter how many times they've read it before?

Just finished the season finale. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but would love to dish about the finale and what it portends for next season. Are there any other fans? I figure a day or two before it would be okay to post what happened, and give fans a chance to watch it. :)

I see that they are pairing up Wonder Woman and Superman. I don't read comic books for a couple of decades now, but didn't they make her a lesbian a couple of years ago??? I do think they are a natural pairing though....I'm also sure the idea has been around since they both existed :)

Maybe someone could be friendly enough to bring and old foagie up to date? Last I heard Wonder Woman was going to be coming out as a lesbian. Also that the original Flash was also going to be coming out as gay.

I just read in my Entertainment Weekly that Superman and Wonder Woman are going to be the new power couple. So I take it the lesbian stuff just got tossed?? What happens with Lois?

Any enlightenment would be appreciated..

Thanks

Obama backs gay marriage
By: Jennifer Epstein
May 9, 2012 11:03 AM EDT

For President Barack Obama and his top political advisers, the decision to back gay marriage came down to a choice between two unpalatable alternatives: support it and brave the backlash in battleground states where the issue could be a liability – or keep silent and be accused by allies of gutlessness and putting politics over his principle.

Hey Gang,

Just wanted to remind you or inform you that you can leave reviews on Amazon even if you didn't buy an item from them. We have several authors now who have put their wares up on Amazon and need reviews and stars to help others know how good they are. I've left a couple so far for stories I read, one on here and one on Kindle. As I catch up with my reading I plan on adding more reviews.

Unless anonymity is an issue, lets all leave reviews for books/stories we've read that are on Amazon for sale. Spread the word with good reviews and 5 stars!!

DES MOINES, Iowa — Melissa Gartner will have to wait a bit longer to find out if she'll be listed on the birth certificate of the child her wife bore.

Melissa Gartner, 41, and Heather Gartner, 39, sued the state when the Iowa Department of Public Health refused in 2009 to list both names on the birth certificate of their daughter, Mackenzie.
Iowa District Judge Eliza Ovrom heard arguments in the case Monday and will issue a written ruling at a later date.

AUSTIN, Texas – Two years after Texas became one of the last states to allow transgendered people to use proof of their sex change to get a marriage license, Republican lawmakers are trying to roll back the clock.

Advocates for the transgendered say a proposal to bar transgendered people from getting married smacks of discrimination and would put their legally granted marriages in danger of being nullified if challenged in court.

The White House made history in two ways Friday, when it announced Jeremy Bernard as its new social secretary -- the first man and the first openly gay person to fill that role.

Bernard, who is currently the Senior Advisor to the Ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, will replace Julianna Smoot, the White House announced.
