Reading 3

The fairy tale, that doing good shall mean you get the same needs to be totally wiped off.
You might not even sleep better.
But you must be who you are.

Lesbian Bed Death

Image
ok...not so dead over here. One of the most popular bloggers in the Kenyan lesbian scene just wrote a blog on the Lesbian Bed Death Syndrome which has all self respecting lesbian minds sharing their opinion. Most of them agitated by the idea that was put across by Pepper Schwartz in her 1983 book American couples, which makes me wonder why we are getting to this discussion now but I shall put a pin on that. The idea is that lesbian couples in committed relationships have less sex than any other form of couples, may it be homo or hereto. This as I have read, is insulting to our young vibrant Nairobi lesbians who have been hit with this revelation. My male counterparts from the office just tweet the link too scared to comment honestly for fear of the fury of a group of women scorned.   So this is my way of looking at it that I think some of you may share. First I shall ignore the discussion on who is a lesbian and who is not and jump to the commitment part of ...

WHO RUN THE WORLD???

GAYS!! So I did it again...running my mouth, in this case my fingers got me blogging right now when my time would be so awesomely divided in my work.

POLLS!

hehehehehe It is disrespectful and silly of me to have such lovely people reading and take so long to write. So this shall be me paying up my dues….(30mins later) Now I have started writing this blog thrice and I give myself an excuse of why I should not make ‘that’ a public reading when I start. Making it obvious that I have been having so much trouble writing simply because that voice in my head (I got a few too many) can’t stop giving me excuses on why not. So we shall work with me writing about whatsoever I wanna write about and you reading only what holds your interests (like when was it not, some may ask?). Let’s give the lesbians a break and focus on a little bit more than me trying to impose my ideas, beliefs or lack there off in most cases on them. So today I shall speak of something that I think is imperative for all LGBTI persons in our country to think through.      Here we have Kenya going to the polls in the next few months and the public joins...
