The Washington State Senate voted on Wednesday to legalize same-sex marriage. This paves the way for Washington becoming the seventh state in the US to legalize gay marriage. Washington Governor Chris Gregoire earlier this year said legalizing same-sex marriage would be a priority for her and she pushed state politicians to do all they could to get enough votes to pass the bill. The measure is now heading to the House, where it is expected to pass easily. The law would go into effect in June. Opponents, however, are already planning a referendum to overturn the law, once it passes. If they collect enough signatures to put it on the November ballot, gay and lesbian couples would have to wait until the outcome of the election before they can wed.

I was in Seattle for the weekend and comedian Dana Goldberg just happened to be performing. I'd met Dana before on a couple of Olivia trips. Her shows are always funny and this night she happened to be in an especially good mood. We met up the next day at a Seattle coffee shop and I interviewed her for this story. Even though I was the one drinking coffee, she talked so fast I could hardly keep up. Dana Goldberg is funny, inspiring, humble and appreciates everything that has come her way. This is what we talked about that day.

A recent study found that 30% of women in their 40s and 50% of women in their 50s hadn't had sex in over a year. Many of these women were dissatisfied with their sex lives. In fact, one of the issues I hear the most about from you is the lack of sex in your lesbian relationships. What's to be done about it? Have more sex. That's right, maintaining sexual activity, whether with yourself or with a partner is one of the best ways to ensure that your libido will remain strong as you age.

Relationships aren't on everyone's radar. And even if they are, many guys stay open to hooking up on the path to whatever they are looking for. Meeting guys for random fun can be a wonderful thing or a complete disaster depending on what you do before, during and after hooking up. Read more...
There's a new risk of cancer in men from a virus mostly associated with women. HPV is a growing concern for gay men and can lead to anal cancer.
