I watched it as well... what was your take?

Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze

Someone sent me a review from SFGate that suggested disappointment.


I was not disappointed. What must they show for it to be ok? Must they actually show someone murdered and raped, etc?


The scene in the courtroom, where the therapist was testifying... that was a powerful moment.


The story and the various issues were presented accurately... to deceive a partner in that way is not a smart way to go about life... but that is not license to kill, harm, etc someone, that whole dumb gay panic defence, which they finally blew by in the second trial... but yes, hate crime, absolutely.

Your right, I think when the therapist announced she was TG it was a powerful statement in how we view people.

What does it feel like?.. Well I know for different people it feels different and each of us goes about our lives in different ways or possibly some the same.. yet some different.... I mean some of us step right out there and say hey

Cat, sounds like you and S are very comfortable living your life as lesbians, and that is wonderful to read. I hope that as time passes, it will be easier for Caly and
