A+ Roundtable: Misconceptions About Lesbian Sex

There was a time before time, in the yawning abyss of darkness and starfire that is the infinite and ever-expanding universe — a time before any of us had had lesbian sex. Most of us thought about it, though, or tried to imagine how it would work! We were not always correct.

So You’re Gay Now: Interview With My Childhood Best Friend, Iah

I can’t think of sixth grade without thinking of Iah. She was the friend I could never quite believe I had: smart, outspoken, well-liked across all social groups. Naturally, I always wondered what became of her.
Imagine my delight when the answer turned out to be “gay rabbi in Ohio.”
