Want to learn more about the ways people talk about gender identity and sexual orientation across a variety of contexts, including the news, pop culture, and academia? Visit The Rhetoric of Gender and Sexuality, a blog I keep for a writing & rhetoric class I teach that focuses on that topic.
To learn more about the rhetoric of specific issues within gender and sexuality studies, see these study guide blogs created by my students, as well as their Class Blog:
Lesbian movie project
Jul 19th
Hello!
My name is Christie Conochalla. Along with my partner-in-crime/co-producer, Bianka
Rubio, we have begun the ambitious task of producing a lesbian movie and am looking
for lesbian forums to get the word out.
The story is of a lesbian artist\’s struggle to find a balance between her work and
the outside world.
The amazing thing about this project is my ambition to tell a lesbian story where
the character being a lesbian plays a major role, but it is not the defining aspect
of the story. First and foremost Adrienne is a human, an artist, one who has to
choose between life as she knows it, which is largely self absorbed and in her own
mind, or life outside of herself in love; and the consequences of her decisions.
She fights it to the point of losing everything and must find a way to rectify
herself, to regain that trust and support in evolving her own perception of success;
in work, in love, in life.

Lesbian romance novel: Standing Naked in Public
Jun 6th
Posted by a site visitor:
I visited your website and would like to share information about my new book with
you. “Standing Naked in Public”, a lesbian romance novel, was released a week ago
and is available in paperback and e-book at www.authorhouse.com (cheapest),
www.amazon.com, or www.bn.com.
Book Description: Kate Ashford is a beautiful photojournalist thrown into the world
of photographing celebrities. She has a bad track record of crazy ex-girlfriends,
hates being associated with the paparazzi, and has a serious crush on Hollywood
movie star, Angela Moore. Angela Moore is a mega-celebrity living a huge lie. She is
terrifi ed her fans and family will discover she is a lesbian, but yearns for love
and companionship. Kate and Angela’s worlds collide, creating scandal and exposing
enemies. STANDING NAKED IN PUBLIC is steamy, hot lesbian fiction at its best. You
won’t be able to put this book down!
I hope you can share this new book with your online readers!
Thanks,
Karli Keefe
Discussion Forums
Jan 13th
I had some discussion forums on the site for a while but decided to abandon the idea when I realized the amount of work that would be involved. I’m sure there are lots of great places on the web for lesbians to socialize these days, not like in the old days when we had only a handful of discussion lists!
If you know of a particularly good web forum for lesbians, feel free to share a link to it here.
Survey on female sexual behavior
Nov 23rd
Received the message below from a visitor to the site. Maybe you’d like to help with her study?
— forwarded text
Hello, my name is Martha Lucia Borras, I am a post graduate student at Durham University, United Kingdom. At the moment I am doing my master’s thesis in Female sexual Behavior, for which I developed a questionnaire dedicated to human female behavior regarding their sexual experiences. I was wondering if you could have your members fill in my survey, it would be great if I could analyze the differences between the behavioral patterns of heterosexuals, lesbian and bisexuals. It would give great insight to my study. All the responses to the survey of course will remain anonymous.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate all your help. This is the link to my survey:

What would you recommend to women who are just discovering their sexuality? Post your observations as a comment on this message (and maybe soon we’ll move the conversation to the new Discussion Forums).

I frequently get emails from women asking for resources to help with coming out. Here are a few books on the subject. The blurbs are from Barnes and Noble’s web site.

A raucous, good-natured look at lesbianism and just what it takes to join in the fun, So You Want to Be a Lesbian takes on all the important issues facing lesbians today, opening with an LAT (Lesbian Aptitude Test), then exploring such hot-button topics as what records to play at a “coming out” party and the three most annoying responses parents can have when their daughter comes out to them.
