Run, don’t walk, to check out my friend KS Stevens’ play, Butch Mamas! It’s being performed in New York’s Bowery district — and P.S. there’s an amazing chocolatier right down the street from the theatre, if you want a little pre-show cocoa. I highly recommend both.

My friend Joanne Herman directed my attention to this new website/ grassroots LGBT movement call to action, The Dallas Principles, which she was involved in creating!
