deep in the ocean, there lies a wave for you

My new gig starts on Thursday. I will be in charge of keeping the Washington Blade website fresh with deliciously gay news. I will also own and write in what will soon become my baby, The Blade Blog. I am excited, nervous and … yes, nervous is the big one. I feel so strongly about gay rights and I know I can do a fabulous job, but, reality check: I am a 23-year-old straight woman. I can’t tell a coming-out story, I can’t say what it feels like to be denied basic rights, and I can go overboard in my compassion — to the point of crying. I also feel like I’ll inject women’s rights issues whenever I can, which may or may not be appropriate. But I’m assuming that if you’re a D.C. lesbian, you care and want the coverage. We’ll see. For now, I’ll listen to “Pink Triangle” on repeat and hope for the best.
