Daggone! Enough of y’all meandered over to the Bloggies website to vote this thing in as best glbt weblog!
I would like also to thank whichever mysterious nominator(s) tossed my well-worn baseball cap into the ring in the first place, and whichever Bloggie finalist-winnowing committee people plucked this blog out of the pile and brought it to wider attention as a finalist. Â For most of us, publishing a blog with any sense of mission and regularity is a labor of love, receiving little or no fiscal compensation. Â The quality of the community the blog helps to collect is our daily bread, and recognitions like these are our butter. Â My plate runneth over.
I’d like to give a respectful bow to the other Bloggies best glbt weblog finalist blogs, Queerly Complex, Lesbifriends, Naked Blog, and Aussielicious (way NSFW! unless you work at Babeland or Good Vibes! Suitable For Major Winkie Viewage is what that puppy is! Plus general madcap Aussie fun!). Â Now if you visit this link to a YouTube plea by Lesbifriends‘ author and feel regret about not voting for her blog because she’s so spunky, I can only offer condolences, since the whole shebang’s done this year. Â But she makes a good point: we pretty much are all different, and are all mutual supporters, at the largest level.
As with The Lesbian Lifestyle’s annual blog awards (this year’s “Lezzys” will be announced Wednesday night , 9-11pm EDT, on The Lesbian Lounge podcast), it’s an enormous honor at all to be considered for special recognition among my peers.  I feel strongly that all us queer folk and our allies online value one another’s presence,  despite or maybe even because of the infinitesimal hair-splitting and incessant in-fighting that we can engage in over the political struggles that mean so much to us.  I’m so very glad we’re out there, being out, here.
Does Lesbian Dad represent queer folks online generally?  Oh hell no.

Well b-low me down
