Our Stories In Honor Of Pride Month

I was thrilled that a number of women-loving women agreed to be interviewed at Hahn at Home.  The interviews are by the newly coupled, single and dating, single and not dating, two long-term couples, and a questioning woman and will run through Sunday.  I hope you will visit and read what these women have to [...]

Arkansas LGBTQ Resource

I’m very excited to be able to let you know about this little project I was helping on – a great new LGBTQ community and counseling service is officially launched in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. Angie Bowen, a Wisconsin native and proud Cheesehead, moved to Arkansas a while back to be with her partner [...]

I’m Coming Out, I Want the World to Know

I love to hear the “coming out” stories of others.  We all have one if we have leapt from the closet.  It’s kind of like attending a school from which only queers can graduate.  Our stories are a bond we all share—we in the “community.”  I heard one this week, which was beautiful in its [...]

Wordsmithing

Part II  - The Middle-Age Dating Chronicles. 
I’ve done extensive research in the last few days of the “best” online dating sites.  I’m going to have to pick just one though, because somewhere around the time I was last single, and then unsingle, and then single again, they started charging actual money to help millions find [...]

The Sheer Terror of It All

I woke up in a cold-sweat-inducing bad dream.  The same kind of cold-sweat I had after watching The Omen the first time and saw the part where the photographer realized that Damien was “special.”  So, onto the dream:  I should start dating again?  But how?   It may be like riding a bike, but there is [...]
