I will cross post this to a couple other threads.

Lesbian Connection, aka LC, is a magazine I have superscribed to for years.
It arrives quarterly in my mailbox in an indiscreet manila envelope!
It is a quick read with only 50 pages. They are reprinting the series "Dykes to Watch out For"
The subscription fee is sliding scale free to anyone world wide and $42 for those that can afford it. Donations and gift subscriptions are appreciated!
I am not on the staff, I am just worried that without support, this little rag will vanish as has the woman's bookstores that use to be.

Western press largely overlooks heroism of lesbian couple in Norway massacre
By Laura Rozen | The Envoy - 22 hrs ago

As Norway continues to grapple with the attacks by a home-grown extremist that killed 77 people last month, one couple, who moved to help young people fleeing from gunman Anders Breivik, is getting a bit of belated recognition.

Hege Dalen and her wife, Toril Hansen, were eating dinner on July 22nd on the other shore from Utoya island when they heard screaming, the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sannomat reported.<<disallowed word>> After bombing government buildings in Oslo, Breivik had come to the island dressed as a policeman and went on to shoot more than 100 young people attending a Labour party camp there.

"We were eating," Dalen told the newspaper. "Then shooting and then the awful screaming. We saw how the young people ran in panic into the lake."

The couple took off in their boat for the island, picking up shocked victims from the water and transporting them to the mainland. They made four runs in all, helping rescue some 40 of Breivik's victims, the paper reported.

"Between runs they saw that the bullets had hit the right side of the boat," the paper wrote.

Some lesbian-gay news sites and blogs have picked up the account in recent days, noting the same-sex married heroes of the story haven't gotten much attention in the Western press.

Good morning Dykes, Lesbians and Friends!

Thank you OS Butch and Snow for keeping us informed.

I hope everyone's summer day is splendid.

laughin...........I have no idea what font size I use........probably the default.....

however whatever size you used for the above post is great.........I don't have to find my reading glasses or squint and create more forehead wrinkles.......laughin....

princessbelle · 08-03-2011, 01:24 PM

I use font size 3. I think it also depends on what font you use as in comic sans, etc.

I am so glad you changed your size OS, as i told you in a rep, I don't think i've read anything you've typed really. I try, but i'm at the age that glasses are necessary sometimes but have not broken down yet to get them.

Anyway....hi, good to see you.

Ok, I will use this. But the funny thing is your font looks smaller than what I normally use, so I thought The 1 was a good size. I will try to use remember #3 from now on! Thanks for pointing it out.....along with everyone else!

lettertodaddy · 08-24-2011, 11:49 PM

Digging up an old thread just to say that I've always thought of myself as a dyke, regardless of who I'm with. It's an attitude, a way of looking at the world, and it's a badge of honour for me regardless of who I'm having sex with at the moment.

But mostly I like the word because it flips a finger at normalcy.

BullDog · 08-25-2011, 09:08 AM

LettertoDaddy, welcome to the thread! I agree with you- to me Dyke is definitely all about attitude and a badge of honor and flippin the bird to normalcy. Very well said!

Good morning Dykes, Lesbians and Friends!

The_Lady_Snow · 08-25-2011, 09:11 AM

Good Morning!!!!!

foxyshaman · 08-25-2011, 09:19 AM

I love calling myself a Dyke. I like being a Dyke. I love the sound of the word as it rolls off my tongue.

And when I am feeling particularly spunky, a Dangerously Dorky Dyke... <the TRIPLE D THREAT!!>
