The Most Beautiful Lady Parts Ever
I’m a huge supporter of lady parts and I’m pretty vocal about it. Whether it’s from showing (sometimes unexpecting) friends my I’ll Show You Mine book (yup – more on this later) to researching ways to fight female genital mutilation, I consider myself a lover and defender of them all.

Recently, Pope Francis issued a comment about homosexuality in the priesthood – specifically, regarding how he would respond to learning that a cleric in his ranks was gay but not sexually active. Previously, Pope Benedict XVI (Pope Francis’ predecessor) barred homosexual men from entering the…

Frameline 37: the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival being held this weekend features a series of documentaries produced by the Family Acceptance Project.
