In my family, we have had someone gay or lesbian in at least the last four generations, waiting to see what happens as the fifth generation grows up.

Professionally, I was a special education teacher and disability counselor/advocate.  I like camping, flying kites (single-line and stunt kites), and reading sci-fi/fantasy and lesbian fiction. I’m into recreational drumming and drum circles. I have a rather eclectic taste in music: rock from the Beatles forward, classical, jazz, musicals. Favorite TV show is Criminal Minds; usually watch dramas over sitcoms. I like doing things with one or two friends; not into big group social activities.  Always a tom-boy, but not hard-core butch. Soft butch, I guess. I’m serious, sensual, supportive, loyal and loving.
