Excerpt: With the Democratic National Convention meeting his month,
the delegates that identify themselves with the F-word -- as
"Feminists for Obama" -- will come out in droves. The trek to
Colorado will be made by dykes, dykettes, dykelings, bi-sisters,
->-bleeped-<-s, and, oh yeah, our straight sisters, too. But as my LBT
friends have pointed out to me, the sisterhood between straight
feminists and us is strained at best and nonexistent at worst. And
with Hillary Democrats moving slowly over to the Obama camp, we LBT
women also move with hesitancy, given Obama's stance on same-sex
marriage.
