Welcome to the L-Word online!
We're happy to have this space to share some of what we put in the paper plus things that we find out about too late to get them in. We update the site at least monthly, so when the L-word's paper publication comes out you should see some changes reflected here as well. And there are often changes in between when we find out about something exciting, so check back.
Our site holds a local calendar of intriguing events, archives of Kulture Klatch, Ruth's Review, and Montanna's spirituality column, and a summary of last month's Queer news as reported by "the other barb", as well as local resources. If there's something else that you think is important to get up here, please, don't hesitate to contact us! We are always looking for the next best idea.
Stories of Local Queer Women May 10th
The Arcata Playhouse invites women to share regional, family and personal stories for possible inclusion in a new theatrical review of local women's history. The show will premiere in October under the direction of Jackie Dandeneau and be performed across the county by professional and amateur actors. This Thursday, May 10, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., women are invited to share their stories within the LGBT context... anything from gender bending in the 20s to marriage before and after Prop 8, from homesteading tales of Aunt Matilda and her "best friend" Sally to performing in Avenue Q. Please contact Jackie at 822-1575 or northwestwomen12@gmail.com for more information, or to be put on the list for upcoming conversations of women's history.
