So, my Facebook page doesn’t see a lot of action from others, only posts from yours truly, usually proudly proclaiming my love of my new found singlehood, or perhaps showcasing the talents of any writer on Autostraddle.com.

Many same sex couples just like you have recently adopted or are in the process of adopting babies, maybe you already have children of your own. Either way, like all parents, you love your children and would do anything to protect them. There is no doubt that may share my anger, outrage and disgust when […]

The window of my bedroom faces south and across the street from me is Allan Gardens, a large park filled with huge trees.
