Why can't the leading ladies be badass and lesbian? And if they are, why can't we see them as authentic, whole beings -- sex and all? When we throw stones at each other for including sex, we're telling ourselves that depicting our sexuality automatically shames us. I disagree.
My best friend/illustrator/editor Leah grew up down the block from my moms and me. Recently Leah came out. I wanted to share that process on my blog, so we had a Gchat conversation.
