The word of the month, girls, is networking. That means getting out and talking to as many other lesbians as possible. And I don’t just mean chatting up women in bars or on the Internet. I mean forming friendships with other like-minded lasses besides your girlfriend.
A great place to practice your networking skills is the APLBN conference in San Francisco in July. (See story) And if you see your ex-girlfriend there, please be nice to her.
If you do make it to San Francisco, check out the Castro Street Lesbo March on June 27, and the Gay Pride Parade on June 28. There’s also an Asian gay and lesbian dance party called Jaded on June 26. Check out their groovy webpage at www.members.tripod.com/~nomsgjaded/index.html.
Closer to home, Anjaree members will be meeting for a bit of shopping and maybe a movie at Bangkok’s Latprao Mall on Saturday May 16 at 2pm. Find the girls in front of KFC near Central Plaza. For the over 30s, there’s a lunch date on Sunday May 24 from 12 noon to 2 pm at T-House Vietnamese restaurant on Ratchadapisek Rd. Cost is about 250 baht. Call 477-1776 for details or email anjaree@hotmail.com. All welcome.
STOP PRESS!! Chiang Mai has a new women’s venue on Friday and Saturday nights from 7-11pm. Run by long-time Anjaree member Thom, Gemini Cafe is located at 156/134 Rimdoi Village, Klong Chonpratan Rd, Tambon Sutep. Tel (053) 810-704.
The first Saturday of the month will be a special lesbian night. You can also pick up your copy of Pink Ink there.
Lesbian heart throb Ellen DeGeneres is having hard a time of late. Chastity Bono, lesbian offspring of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, in a recent interview criticised Ellen’s TV show as “too gay.” Chastity is supposed to be the entertainment media director of GLAAD, a US organisation committed to positive portrayals of gays and lesbians in the media. So how can she say that a programme is “too gay”?
Chastity went on to say that the show “is so gay it’s excluding a large part of our society ... It’s one thing to have a gay lead character, but it’s another when every episode deals with pretty specific gay issues.”
Chastity’s comments caused such a fuss that GLAAD was obliged to issue an apology and explanation. “Her comments were taken out of context,” they said. Calls have been made for young Chastity to be moved to an inactive post.
Rumour has it that Anne Heche, girlfriend of our Ellen, was having an affair with co-star Vince Vaughan while filming their new movie Force Majeure in Thailand. Apparently, Anne spent a lot of time in Vince’s trailer. Anne didn’t deny it, just reportedly told Ellen: “I love YOU so what’s the big deal if I have sex with HIM?”
Hmm... Don’t fall in love with a straight girl, honey.
