When you realize that even regular old "marriage" is really a secret gateway to lesbianism, you begin to see the source of the Right's paranoia.
Desperate house wiles by Clinton, Kate / The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
As Elizabeth Struggles with her Christian devotion in the midst of her relationship, Hesed progressively carries readers through the realities of the pains and struggles inflicted upon lesbians and lesbianism in a world unwilling to accept such a relationship and life-commitment, and among other things, the two women who must be willing to accept one another whole-heartedly.
Hesed by Small Press Bookwatch
I persevered only because it seemed like a good idea, as the same-sex "marriage" debate rages on, to talk to someone who had the straight goods on the subject or, in other words, someone who had been delivered from a life of lesbianism.
Held in Your keeping my weakness is strength by Laurence, Liannne / Catholic Insight
