I’m 27. I’m a woman. I’m a homosexual. I’ve been sober in the beautiful Fellowship of A.A. for 17 months and, for the first time in many years, find myself smiling, laughing, and really caring for other people. After ten years of alcoholic drinking, that life of horror, loneliness, and despair brought me to the doors of my first A.A. meeting. In the first few months of my sobriety, I tried to follow suggestions, went to many meetings, joined a group, and found a sponsor whose sobriety I respected. But during this time, I lived in fear — fear of my homosexuality being discovered, fear of being rejected by fellow A.A. members, fear of being left alone to cope with my ...

A search using the terms “couples,” “erectile dysfunction,” and “hypoactive” (related to hypoactive sexual disorder), yielded 243 studies, of which 37, or 15 percent, had explicit exclusionary language. The results indicated that industry-sponsored trials, multi-region trials (according to census definitions), and Phase III trials were the most likely to exclude lesbians and gay men, according to researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. They al...

Moral deliberation aside, however, new research suggests that gay couples “have a great deal to teach everyone else about marriage and relationships”, as author Tara Parker-Hope says in this interesting New York Times piece yesterday. She writes: “Most studies show surprisingly few differences between committed gay couples and committed straight couples, but the differences that do emerge have shed light on the kinds of conflicts that can endanger heterosexual relationships. The findings offer hope that some of the most vexing problems are not necessarily entrenched in deep-rooted biological differences between men and women. And that, in turn, o...
