I think we could all use some good news right about now. Fortunately, we just got some. I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, [...]

Greta on Godless Perverts Panel, Thursday 4/26
April 26th, 2012 
Greta Christina Just a quick reminder: I’m going to be participating in what promises to be a super-awesome panel discussion tonight (Thursday, April 26): “Godless Perverts: Atheism and Alternative Sexualities.” Maggie Mayhem, Charlie Glickman, Chris Hall and I will be tearing it up at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, talking/ ranting about being [...]
Porn or Erotica?
February 22nd, 2012 Greta Christina Is there a useful difference between porn and erotica? My usual answer to this question is that the distinction between porn and erotica is pretty artificial. It generally comes down to subjective taste, conveniently dovetailed with character and even moral judgment. “I like erotica; you like porn; they like filthy smut.” But when I have [...]
Homophobic Nurses for Jesus – Fired!
January 20th, 2012 Greta Christina UPDATE/CORRECTION: Commenters have pointed out that the nurse was not fired — she was ordered to retire. Remember the lesbian veteran who was seeking help for depression? Remember the horrible Marine Corps nurse at the VA who harangued her for three hours about her “lifestyle of sin” and whether she’d been “saved by Jesus Christ”? [...]
Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transgendered People, and Alternatively Gendered People: Gender Expectations about Dating and Sex?
October 6th, 2011 Greta Christina And one final (for now) question on this topic of gender role expectations in dating and sex. Gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered people, and people with alternative gender identities who identify as neither male nor female or as both male and female: Can you talk about gender role expectations in dating and sex? Do you [...]
Is Everyone Basically Bisexual?
September 28th, 2011 Greta Christina I’m sure you’ve heard this before: “Everyone is basically bisexual.” It’s something a lot of bi activists used to say a lot, and that some bi activists still say. I used to say it myself, back in my mis-spent youth. (And yes, my mis-spent youth was basically bisexual.) Is it true? My simple answer: No. [...]

September 27th, 2011 Greta Christina My beloved wife, Ingrid, is going to be part of a panel at the GLBT History Museum in San Francisco, this Thursday, Sept. 29. The topic is a barn-burner: “All the Rage: Stories From the AB101 Veto Riot of 1991.” Here’s a little more info: At the height of the AIDS crisis and in the [...]
Bisexuality Visibility Day
September 23rd, 2011 Greta Christina Today is Bisexuality Visibility Day. So I thought I’d take a moment to say: I’m bisexual. Which should come as no surprise to anyone who regularly reads my writing. But it still sometimes does. I’ve had a good number of smart, thoughtful, queer- conscious people assume that, because I’m married to a woman, I’m a [...]
I have my archives!
September 16th, 2011 Greta Christina I have my archives from my old blog! They’re here! With comments and everything! They’re even in the right categories! Images and videos didn’t make it over, and there are a handful of posts that didn’t make it and that I’ll have to put in by hand. (For some reason, it didn’t like my posts [...]

8 Comments »“Straight Porn Will Make You Gay”: The Delusion of Sex-Negativity
July 27th, 2011 Greta Christina This piece was originally published on the Blowfish Blog. I never reprinted it here, since the piece was topical and time-sensitive. But the Blowfish Blog archives are apparently no longer on the Internets, and the original piece is no longer available. So in the interest of completism and making all my published works accessible, I’m [...]
