The Cultural Roadmap for City Girls Everywhere
The 2008 elections filled our hearts with hope even while the economic downturn emptied our pockets. We spoke out against corporate greed, fought for our right to marry and shamed those that would hold us down into becoming more tolerant.

UU. LESBOLYMPIANS
Out of the 10,000 athletes from all over the world who competed in the Beijing Oympics, only 11 were openly gay. But guess what: out of those 11, 10 were lesbians! Two gay ladies took gold medals in soccer and handball respectively; we got a silver in softball, and a bronze medal in soccer. If the Olympics gave medals for keg stands, we’re sure we would have ruled that category, too.
