A glimmer of hope...

Hi Loved inhabitants of LesPlanet, today carry them a news that has given me back a bit the faith in the politics of change of some ..... Look, that say "a bit" and look that say of "some" countries of this planet that called Earl.

Iceland ..... This country that does nineteen years backwards chose to the first woman president, now goes back to do news and for well, (than rare sounds this until writing .. A good news).
So, Iceland is to point to appoint like first minister of the Country to Johanna Sigurdardottir, a woman declared openly lesbian (an inhabitant of this our planet ). And has been appointed the Icelandic politics more popular.

Johanna Sigurdardottir, the one who is at present minister of social subjects, is married from the year 2002 with her couple Jonina Leosdottir, writer and journalist.

Because of the effects of the economic break in this country, the First Minister Geir Haarde Left his political charge and the president of Iceland has requested to the leader of the social party democrat to Iceland, Ingibjorg Gisladottir, the training of a government of transition, in where Johanna will represent this charge until the elections of May.

The Icelandic village trusts she and know that it is the best zoned for this charge. It is as a dream, worries them more a lider that this qualified to govern, that her sexuality preference. This is something entirely hopeful for this world .... It fills me of pride and does me believe each time in a better morning for our community.

Thanks my Ale :)

Good Bye 2008...

Hi dear friends, today is the last day of the year 2008, which has been at least one year with many ups and downs for me, I have a recount of some things that have happened.

This year, apart from one of the worst news was that was won the YES of Prop 8 in California, producing and one of the largest discrimination against the LGBT community in recent times and a right already obtained wrest us as was to be married to the person we love, for the simple and absurd whim of leaders homophobic hate ignorant among their followers.

Apart from that, this year has been good for lesbian visibility, we have seen in the media as at present more lesbian presence in other years and this fills me with pride because I know that although we each step cost. ... we are moving towards equality, and this presence that we now have an impact on society generally positive (though of course there are always exceptions) now you are saying to the world "heyyy we are exist, we are here and we have the same rights that you are lesbian, and we are wonderful".

The best moments left with the news and we saw this year and do not forget

The best series of lesbians remains excellent, and I think it will always be our beloved The L Word, and in 2008 made us live is one of the largest lesbian, in Season 5, filled us with joy by many returned one of the most famous couples in the world and endearing lesbian TIBETTE, I know that many can not forget that magical moment that we live in chapter 5x04 "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED" in 46 minutes 49 seconds with the background music of Alice Smith and her "Dream" ..... Bette when Tina takes the arm and kiss ... by end of stress after 4 seasons, finally had a hope to see them back together and happy.

And so it was to the delight of all followers of the series, we were able to see again this year some of the best sex scenes TIBETTE.

The series was disappointed that we have been without doubt Grey's Anatomy, at the beginning, we thought we could see a love story in one of the most-watched television series, but when we were captivated Drs. Callie Torres and Erica Hanh and her newly discovered new attraction between them, when they finally had their feelings cleared and Dr. Erica Hahn had accepted her homosexuality shouting from the rooftops: I'm Gay .. I'm so gay, homophobic producers of ABC to cancel the character of the series and dismissed the actress Brooke Smith behind it.

Leaving us submerge in a deep indignation and remove a couple who had already won the lesbian community, because one way or another we had seen in a completely heterosexual. But despite everything has left us an unforgettable moment for all time:

In regard to series in Spanish, the most impressive and gave us more visibility this year, was the partner of Pepa and Silvia in the TV series Paco's Men (Los Hombres de Paco) (until that time hearing entirely heterosexual) peak in Spain.

In a series of police between bullets and rude men, there is a love story between a divorced coroner, Silvia and a lesbian police officer, Pepa.

This story has stolen the hearts of many inhabitants of our communitie, not only in Spain but in the rest of the world who do not speak Spanish, for its freshness, its naturalness, for being so entertaining and fun for their players and so sexy beautiful, and will positively reflect a lesbian relationship in a society full of prejudice and highly maleness as the police force.

Our big moment of PEPSI:

To finish the series, we can also highlight the efforts of a lesbian relationship in House No. 13 with a model in the "Lucky Thirteen"

Also in Bones we had kissing between girls, Angela y Roxie .

On national television in USA and in the popular soap opera All My Children saw Bianca (Eden Riegel) return to Pine Valley after a long absence, and brought her girlfriend played by Reese (Tamara Braun), we also have a newborn lesbian is the complete package, and one of the few success stories of lesbians on TV yet issued. For now none has been killed or dismissed.

Also this year saw the end of the love story of our beloved Ashley and Spencer from South of Nowhere.

Turning to Movies one of the best lesbian-themed films that total has come to cinemas this year has undoubtedly been I Can´t Thing Straight, the love story of a Jordanian woman Tala (Lisa Ray) to be married and Leyla knows interpreted by my adored Sheetal Sheth, who is the girlfriend of her best friend, and then begin to fall in love, a sense of duty and cultural boundaries is the Tala away, but the time will united again.

We can not miss this movie .... soon we will see loved people.

Among other films that have gone through the festivals in Cannes to receive high praise, it is remarkable for a French film director Céline Sciamma called 'Naissance des Pieuvres or as it is called "Water Lilies", a film about sexual awakening of three teenagers about 15 years, swimmers synchronized swimming in this environment are the 3 teens physically, emotionally and socially and we can see the confusion and distress of their players to cope with a love affair between two of the girls.

This year we were also highly visible thanks to the sport, many inhabitants of our planet have participated in the Beijing Olympics over a dozen female athletes competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, and took away several medals. Here the post.

Among the musical surprises of the year we launch the first album the group of Uh Huh Her made up for our beloved Leisha Hailey and Camila Gray, the band has very good music and has been well received by our community.

Among the outputs of the closet more catch out was the comedian Wanda Sykes, not for the fact that we know who is gay (and married) is something that is not what suspect surprising if their departure, in a demonstration for the rights of the gay community in Las Vegas last November before thousands of spectators and the press said: "I am proud to be a woman. I'm proud of being a black woman and I am proud to be gay."

Other outputs from the closet is also the most subtle come from Lindsay Lohan, who finally after all this history is having admitted that a romantic relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson, and what pleased me most is the positive impact that relationship is said that she is giving her life and that after a long time is really happy.

Among the most famous lesbian couples this year has left its mark and has held thousands of covers and our beloved media Ellen Degeneres, with its super-publicized Wedding of the Year.

Among the best news of the year in Spain we have the approval of the law that allows our babies have birth from two mothers, we finally included in a law of rights for the design, we can give at your partner your egg to be fertilized and implanted in her womb the baby to have both.

I leave you a song that I leave this year that has passed ... I hope you like He is Ivan Guevara "Por Amor al arte" (For the love of art)

Well this is a quick summary that leaves us in 2008 and that despite all the negative that could happen to it, both personally and LGTB community level, this year we can be more visible to the world, and I hope that Next year will be much better.

On the aims for next year every one of you will have theirs out of the closet, find the woman of her life, stop smoking, etc., all we ask is that with all my heart whatever the purpose for this new year, which is the main thing to be happy and assured them that this is not a cliche phrase, and I mean this utopian happiness and generic with that dream.

If not that happiness is within our reach, we can get it for ourselves if we suggest that, despite everything that can happen, whether we are alone, if we do not find love if we finished a significant relationship, if we go into the closet, but if we are outside our families do not want to see us more if we feel the weight of discrimination, if we are locked in a life that we do not want, if we are battered, homophobia if we ever hit, if not we like the world around us or their ignorance.

I ask you to always look for ways to be happy, to feel well, smile, have hope, the purpose of this new year is to try and be happy to fight with all our might to achieve this. Do not ever stop smiling, do not let us remove all the smiles, or that anyone has the power to hurt.

That is my intend for this year. :)

I hope .... feel it and I believe that the world equal to that dream, is not far away.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THIS 2009 AND WE NEED TO BRING HAPPINESS IN OUR LIVES.

The Christmas festivities that beautiful ...

Hi dear friends of LesPlanet all know that Christmas festivities are for the vast majority of people in the world happier times, family and memorable year. But for some people is a time of tension and to test family ties.

What about those who besides Lesbian coming out has to come to her house between colored lights and cousins, aunts and nephews prepared to ask questions and look to face strange?

If I decide that it is better to keep quiet and let I Dec ads or without major disturbances, we have to pass separate from your partner, and the person you love these days? Or the best decision is to present to the bride as a friend to the orphan who is given a seat at the table, poor as we are going to leave it alone at Christmas?

For us the only decision that is taken at parties is not only if we take cider or champagne, we must also choose how to share the evening filled with the words "Congratulations", "finally all together" or "I am proud that my children ". And you thought .... Happy? because with this weight that I have within me without being able to share it I do not feel well. Together? .... the woman who loved is not me .... Proud? .... still feeling well if you knew that I am a lesbian?

The other side of the coin is that it put the whole truth, in addition to the wine on the table. Those who have, as I am an open relationship. We can share table at Christmas, but not everything is as nice as it sounds.

It is produced what I know would say subtle discrimination ... as can be, to see my son-in-law that this is bigger at this dad, for my daughter-in-law that this is very tasty, and your friend put it to the left over .... or I have to finish the dishes gala dinner services, you do not mind not? I bring this all day .... and you view and say you will, no problem. (And for your girlfriend with a frozen smile on your lips and your eyes ... telling Ayyy honey, everything that I love you but be run in the dining chinese food in house)

Lesbian couples always suffer a lot to be excluded, and that's why we try to appreciate the attempt integrating adapt and endure're ignoring things for the sake of your partner. We are more family friendly as they say, or at least we know swallow and survive without dinner from 24 per indigestible gesture of evil stepfather or the mother-in-law. (For the sake of our own health jajaja)

But the problem appears when sexuality remains hidden. And you and your "friend", dine together, at the home of some of the families and are tense all the time, and thinking, I have looked bad, you know something?, Or start with the questions indiscreet to know this because your "friend "Dinner with you and not with her family ... and have a boyfriend?, her parents get along? If you do not know is that neither you nor to go where your "friend" and they do not know that answer either.

And finally is the worst situation is when and in spite of knowing and meet your partner for several reasons, resentments, fights of the family with your partner there is no way to reconcile the parties and therefore can not sit at the same table and you stay with your poker face and saying that now? because your family did not give his arm a twist and your partner with absolutely right either, so it is finally decided that it is best to stay at home from families, the two having dinner alone with your dog (if you have one) and try to spend the holidays without much concern when you see all the happiness in the world to house your family and knowing that your not going to be ... and that they care much either.

And last but not least important, are those with the syndrome the Grinch have a couple but , hate Christmas and do not want to pass it or the couple or with family and make as if these parties were like any other day, leaving that your partner will go with your family and your quedandote alone at home watching TV or reading a book as if it were a normal day, that this case is a clear choice and does not have any feeling of unhappiness.

Despite all that we included in either case, what we should do is pass the best parties that affect us without any prejudice to our families and our loved ones and think that next Christmas will be another story.

Since LesPlanet we wish you all that your have the best Christmas in the company of your girlfriend and family (if possible).

Maternity by artificial insemination...

Hi LesPlanet's friends, along with the articles of lesbian motherhood that started in a previous post, after having seen the alternatives we have to be able to have a family with our partner, usually the majority opted for artificial insemination with either known or father unknown.

Then let us explain that this is the Artificial Insemination and that types of insemination exist.

Types of Insemination

Artificial insemination is a technique used to produce fertilization between an oocyte or egg and a sperm for the purpose of achieving conception. According to the characterizations usual types of insemination would be defined by the origin of semen or the cavity where the semen is deposited.

There are two types of inseminations linked to the origin of semen:

1) insemination with sperm from known donor.

2) insemination with sperm from anonymous donor.

In the first case with fresh sperm, washed (selects the sperm with greater mobility and centrifuged to separate the seminal plasma of other infectious particles) and the insemination was performed a few minutes later.

In the second case, the insemination is done with anonymous sperm cryopreserved, that is, material (pre-washing) and frozen for use at the time of ovulation. Also there are three other types related to the place where the practice:

1) Intrauterine

2) Intracervical

3) Intravaginal.

IUI. During the IUI, or intrauterine insemination sperm are introduced (in a gel) into the uterus through a thin cannula sterilized. The technique on the sperm to the fallopian tubes. This shortens the distance increasing the likelihood of success. The success rate estimated to stimulation between 10 and 20 per cent per cycle, increasing in each cycle.

The cost of intrauterine insemination varies widely depending on the state in which the procedure is performed. In general, the cost of intrauterine insemination can reach or even exceed $ 5000. This figure includes the cost of consultations and visits pre-and post-insemination, the medication for fertility, the processing of sperm and the insemination itself.

ICI. The IntraCervical insemination (ICI) is the placement of sperm into the neck of the uterus through a catheter sterile fine with the intention of traveling to the uterus to fertilize an egg. It is more economical than IUI but is less effective for the longest distance that the sperm must travel. A typical procedure could cost between $ 2000 to $ 3000.

IVI. Intravaginal insemination in the semen is deposited in the vagina, is the most economical, although it is estimated that the chances of effectiveness down even more. All procedures require the advice, control and supervision of a / a female fertility specialist.

All you need to be cover the costs of medical equipment required for this procedure dischargeable. The costs could reach $ 500 if you prefer to use a sperm donor or if you'd like taking medication to improve fertility.

All practices require a washing of semen except intravaginal insemination, which can be done with full semen. There are several techniques for washing seminal, the most widely used is the Swim Up, but also used the gradient density and filtering by fiberglass. By Swim Up isolate themselves and sort the sperm with increased mobility. It uses a computer that the centrifuge seminal fluid separating the plasma and other infectious particles. The sperm that amount are considered the best, that material is mixed with other liquids depending on the type of insemination.

L WORD'S CONVENTION...

Hi dear friends of LesPlanet, today I want to talk about the conventions of L Word, since it is little more than 15 days to the start of the 5th convention L Word L5, to be held on 14, 15 and Nov. 16 in Blackpool , England.

Convention is to have confirmed their attendance, Laurel Holloman (our Tina), Rachel Shelley (The beautiful Helena), Anne Ramsay (Robin in the first season), Janina Gavankar (Papi) and Jennifer Beals is the most eagerly awaited as it will assist for the first time at a convention of this kind.

Their presence has meant that tickets were sold quickly on all the VIP tickets (Golden Tickets) are the ones that give you the privilege of being seated at the same table with the actresses and talk with them more closely.

This convention will be held at Norbreck Castle Hotel, which as I have to assume it is not a single room available for those days, but for those who want to go there are many hotels in the surroundings of this that are still available.

The agenda of the convention will be like the other years, there will be a sort of welcome from the actresses on Friday, and partying in the disco ... The Saturday meeting, with photos of actresses (after payment of the amount ....), talks with the opportunity to ask questions and answers and not as a party at the disco at night and during the entire convention.

On Sunday, is the same program of pictures, talks, questions and answers on Saturday, the only difference is that there will be an event of closure of the convention and of course the night dancing at the disco (normally at this dance always attend the actresses ... an assiduous of these dances at night is Rachel Shelley ...).

I would recommend to whom you have the opportunity to go to the convention you are there on Friday afternoon when it starts and if you have more days off because you stay at day 17 there is a concert in London's UH HUH HER ... and you do not have so many days, at least assure you of having Monday off to enjoy everything on Sunday at the convention ...

There are still some tickets, obviously no gold ticket ... but if tickets to 90 pounds normal throughout the weekend or individual (one day) by 45 pounds, which you can buy on the page of Starfury.

The sixth convention, also have the date despite not knowing who or actresses will be invited ... and already put the tickets on sale ... This sixth convention will be held on 18, 19 and 20 of September 2009, in Norbreck Castle Hotel (same as this year ...) in Blackpool (England).

We are going to put below the official videos of each convention to be held so that you do an idea of what happens at these conventions and how well people what happens in them ...

L1 Convention: Actresses attending this first convention were: Rachel Shelley (Helena), Laurel Holloman (Tina), Meredith McGeachie (Tonya), and Eric Mabius (Tim).

Being the first convention, not attended all the public had been expected and was rather closer to the actresses who in later editions.

L2 Convention: The actresses who were invited to the 2 convention of L Word were: Katherine Moennig, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Leisha Hailey, and Guinevere Turner.

L3 Convention: Actresses attending the third convention of L Word were: Erin Daniels, Kate Moennig, Laurel Holloman, Leisha Haley and Eric Mabius.

This convention was somewhat different because it had no pictures with the entire group of L Word and tapeworms that your permission to give you an individual, or that or choose or you stopped there all the salary in photos. It seems that the Staff of the convention told the actresses that were not very jovial in the photos but Laurel Holloman except that in almost every photo comes out with their hands in their pockets the other actresses ignored the instruction.

The convention opened with a concert of the UH HUH HER ... after that were dancing in the disco with all the attendees to the convention late into the night.

L4 Convention: Actresses attending the convention were: Rachel Shelley, Lauren Lee Smith, Guinevere Turner and Anne Ramsay ...

There have been some conventions in the United States, as Seasons presentations, meetings at community events etc, where actresses come often.

To the teacher with love ...

Hi girls, today I want to tell a story that has made me think, and makes me think that in future it is possible to create a tolerant society and respects with the homosexuals. Not have people who insult you or you look bad because of the hand with your partner who is of the same sex as you.

That may no longer be necessary to hide in closet to protect you from the others that you judge and discriminate against you because now I think it is possible that this world ..... one day there.

Them a story beautiful, Erin Carden, a first grade teacher who teaches children 6 years at a private school in San Francisco is a lesbian and married her partner Kerri McCoy at City Hall.

Due to the profound affection felt by children, their students by their teacher, the father of one of them had the idea to surprise the teacher on the day of their wedding and organized an excursion.

To justify departures from school because they have a reason, they argued that this was the best way for children to live at first hand the historic moment in which unions between persons of the same sex are beginning to be legal.

The director of the college approved the trip and children went to City Hall in a minibus, accompanied by some mothers, and waited for her teacher left the town hall, and married to her wife, to throw rose petals.

Unfortunately, as always not lack the people trying to tarnish the moment and those who are against gay marriage have used this trip to attack and ask you to vote Yes on Proposition 8, saying that one should not teach anything about gay marriage in schools and also criticized some of the children who attend with T-shirts with announcement in favor of gay marriage and others also carry a plate on which read 'No on 8' calling the gay marriage vote.

This gesture of selfless love of children will not be tarnished by any organization that seeks to promote absurd hatred and discrimination, and take away the right of individuals to choose whom to love and marry legally with the person elected. As much as they bother these people can not change the fact that children accept her teacher with no distinction between heterosexual and gay.

If we encourage this, and not repress the unselfish love that people feel for others regardless of their sexual preference, we will have in the future a better world, do not believe?

Vote NO on Prop 8

Hi girls, today we are going to discuss the proposition 8 that despite the fact that many of us who do not live in USA affects us in an indirect way, as it is a struggle for the rights of our community, this proposition is quite insulting and certainly goes against the rights of many gays and lesbians .

The purpose of Proposition 8 is to redefine the constitution of California to eliminate the basic human rights of same-sex couples. They deny responsibility, dignity and respect as a married couple enjoys being part of a marriage.

The campaign "Vote No on Prop 8" inciting to address this initiative and to vote NO on Proposition 8 this November 4.

The constitution of the United States also protects the rights of all human beings living in USA. Proposition 8 is against this fundamental rule, and distinguishes only a group of gay and lesbian people-to unequal treatment under the law of the United States.

As religious freedom or freedom of expression, the right to marry is a fundamental right in our society. Marriage allows couples to legalize their commitment and allows them to take responsibility on each other.

It is important that this proposal does not succeed to protect the right of marriage. It is important to protect the equality, freedom and justice for all.

Many celebrities have donated money to the campaign of NO at this proposition, among them that this Brad Pitt donate to 100.00 dollars to the cause.

the actor said in a statement: "Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8, I will marry, the day that all those who want to marry legally in the country are capable of that."

Another of them is Steven Spielberg, who along with his wife, Kate Capshaw, others have donated 100.00 dollars in support of the cause.

Spielberg and Capshaw denounced the initiative: "By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other."

T.R. Knight has donated 50,000 U.S. dollars, the same amount as that Pete Wentz said: "There are a lot of causes out there -- a lot of 'good' fights to be fought. I think Proposition 8 is pretty lame -- as many others do too. It's (expletive) lame."

Betty DeGeneres, mother of the famous Ellen DeGeneres, who recently married her partner Portia de Rossi, just join the fight against the Proposition 8.

Betty said: "Every mother or father should know that their children have the possibility of marriage. And every mother should have the opportunity to be part of the wedding of his daughter. With your help, we can make it happen."

More and more voices being raised against Proposition 8 that aims to eliminate gay marriage in the referendum to be held in California on November 4, the money raised is being used in sensitizing people about the equality of homosexuals and the marriage between them.

For companies like Google, or Levi's, and directors and actors such as Brad Pitt, Ellen Degeneres and Steven Spielberg have been a powerful united voice. The New York Times, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, said to be against Proposition 8 through an editorial.

It seems that those who are in favor of the proposal 8 have raised about 25 billion dollars and broadcast ads are lies which have about homosexuality as attacking the church and saying that children are going to give a subject of homosexuality in schools (if this is unbelievable ... and lying to donate money to support hatred and discrimination towards the gay community).

Here you can see the video where a voice-over belies all the lies that are spreading about the consequences of legalizing gay marriage. Among the scenarios that are mentioned include the future inclusion of gay studies in schools, or changing the tax laws relating to the churches.

Numerous announcements have been issued against this proposal 8, with the collaboration of many famous and anonymous people, according to the surveys these ads have beaten strong against the previous but need more time on television since it seems that the SI will take advantage.

In one of them (so you can see below) Two women are seeing photographs of a wedding, one of the photographs displayed a lesbian couple at the wedding. and other supports that do not know how to feel about the subject, to which the first replied: "Nothing happens if you do not know how you feel, but do you want to remove rights and have laws that treat people differently?" . To which the answer is obviously "No".

In an interview with Ellen Degeneres on the "Tonight Show" talking about this Prop 8, you put the video of it.

Since LesPlanet you give our full support NO to this proposal and all people who are against Proposition 8 and entitled to vote in the U.S. go to the polls on 04 November and that its voice is heard loud. The result will be that all of California gays and lesbians can marry the person they love and have the same rights as anyone else of a different religion, color or sexuality.

I want to have a baby ...

Hello dear inhabitants of our beautiful planet, today we'll talk about a topic that sooner or eventually to all our interest and we are involved.

Some already have the other with a dream, others just want to have it and expect to collect what is necessary to realize his dream, we are talking about starting a family ....

But we do not have a traditional family of course, our family model is called Families Homoparentales.

Homoparentales families are those in which one or both partners is gay, this kind of family are a growing reality in our society, in which the concept of family has changed considerably.

The men and women who form after divorce get custody of their children and then began a homosexual relationship. Also lesbian women who decide to have children outside of traditional marriage, and raising alone or with the participation of others.

The sense of family and consideration as a basic institution of society is still in place, although they have modified their structures and diversified forms of cohabitation, which has given rise to new models.

Clear that this kind of families still do not enjoy the social recognition and sometimes arouse suspicion when they are not with phobias and marginalization.

So when we decided to have a family with our partner we have to take into account these things, and have clear our options..

Until not long ago most of the lesbian mothers had taken their childrens through heterosexual sex beforehand. Lately more and more to gain as their childrens in lesbian couples.

The alternatives are to be mothers, adoption, insemination with donor insemination with known and anonymous donor. None of these alternatives is good or bad in itself. All have particular advantages and disadvantages that it's okay to analyze.

Clearly, this is a point of view and there may be others. Anyway, we all love to hear their views.

Neither option provides legal figures for the non-biological mother or adopter. For that we still need much more than a symbolic Civil Union.

Adoption

It is one of the least used. At least I do not know of any story about adoption of lesbian mothers.

Advantages:

1. There are no differences in terms of biological motherhood.

2. For some people the process of adoption is positive in itself.

Disadvantages:

1. Adopt legally in most countries it is almost a miracle, and I say to the obstacles that often put the bodies in charge of grant, the practice remains automatically deny adoption if it is discovered or sensed the applicant's homosexuality. So we must take a lot of lucky to be able to do so.

Insemination with donor known

It is agreed to the donation of sperm with a friend or relative. Insemination can be homemade (using a syringe with no needle) or with the help of a professional in a medical office.

Advantages:

1. There are various agreements. The child could have two mothers and one biological father. You can also agree on other roles nearby, not necessarily the father.

2. You know who is the introduced genetic material.

3. In the future your childrens has the chance to know their biological origins.

4. If you know the right person might be extended family.

Disadvantages:

1. Some of us do not want a father to our / your daughter / you. We want to be just two moms (or perhaps one) and we believe that there are three crowd. It would be something like reconceptualize and think new family models.

2. Perhaps the donor is a great person, but there is a possibility that is moved by seeing the baby and realizes that wants to be a father. Or evaluate who wants to take desiciones in the life of children, or who wants to spend more time with him / her. If the donor repents of the agreement can claim their rights in court. And justice for nothing more poignant than a biological father.

Insemination with anonymous donor:

It seems to be the star of the moment. The epicenter of BabyLesBoom...

Advantages:

1. There is potential biological father who can claim for their rights.

2. Drastically reduces the chances of contracting any virus, infection, disease, and so on. .

3. It is an opportunity to explain the birth of an alternative family. Clearly, this requires the endorsement of a collective discourse that is just emerging.

Disadvantages:

1. We must have a sum of money that may prove difficult to collect.

2. We must overcome the hostility of half does not always prepared to receive them

3. A few girls seems complicated that future childrens want to know their biological roots and can not tell you that most of the sperm bank or the anonymous donor.

Well girls once assessed the possibilities, this decision in each pair ...

Go deep into this later, because we have received emails and questions on this subject which will try to solve and help as we can.

What happens when we accept our sexuality...?

Hey LesPlanet's girls, after taking our sexuality is the same thing, but I assure you that many things better. Regardless of the decision (to be in or out of the closet), always be things to enjoy and much more besides others that will begin to do with freedom, want some examples?

You look at the pretty girls, without being blatant but not feel guilty for that.

Know sites environment in which we know other people like us, so we feel that we are the only ones.

We'll look more and more space to subtly caressing the girl we like.

We will have sex for the first time with a girl, is what most, no matter how good or bad it is, technically speaking.

Enjoy this cold in the stomach every time that girl special touches us or kiss us, we also enjoy your breathing close to ours.

Sharpen our "Gaydar," all we've got some better than others but we have it, only if we assume that our sexuality, we become more skillful in their use.

Getting out of the closet, is a unique experience and different for each, but it is certainly liberating, regardless of the reactions that are generated around us.

For the first time feel really comfortable with ourselves ... nothing, absolutely nothing in life is compared to this.

Begin to say "NO" to men without any remorse of conscience, in full knowledge that we do it because the only thing we want is a beautiful lady at our side.

Finally, to end this Decalogue, I think an important thing to do when we take our sexuality, is to go slowly educating and informing people that we have close, about the myths about gays and lesbians, and go to achieve collapsed opening a better way in the world.

We will have new lesbian romance in House...?

This week has started the new season of House and, as is becoming common, there has been no progress on the sexuality of 13 also known as Remy Hadley, and performed by Olivia Wilde.

Olivia Wilde has already had a pile of papers in her young career, but she is known on Earth as the super sexy lesbian who stole the heart of Marissa on The OC, and her latest character in the internal Thirteen HOUSE.

The series began on the 5th so successful season in the U.S. on Sept. 16 at 8: 00 pm, The Princeton Plainborough Hospital, is again open its doors.

As we know the character of our forgotten Wilde, the internal "Thirteen" is bisexual, a fact for which she faces many jokes House, we wonder whether this season, we'll see some lesbian scene, or if it will have some romance with a woman in the series.

To answer these and other questions of the new season, we have an interview with Olivia Wilde, where we will talk a little bit of everything, from her work for the campaign of Obama on her character and as it faces the disease was diagnosed at the end of the last season (Huntington Korea) and CARE to this, jokingly says something about a lesbian relationship in the new season.

Hi, we read that you and Kal Penn campaigned for Obama and were involved in primaries. How did people react to you guys?

Well, what was really fascinating was that when we went to Iowa to caucus, we were welcomed with open arms, as House actors — House is apparently really big in Iowa, which was kind of a shock to me. We were in the middle of nowhere, and these House fans were, you know, chasing us around Wal-mart.

But they also welcomed us as Obama supporters because there was a lot of enthusiasm there, particularly among the young people.

So, House. What’s in store for Thirteen this season?

This season has been so incredible for Thirteen so far, and we’re only on episode ten! Mostly it’s her dealing with the tragic Huntington's chorea diagnosis that she received at the end of season four. She knows it's bad, and that causes her to lose control in a way that we didn’t expect from a character like her. She loves working for House because he’s the most brilliant person to work for, but she doesn’t want to fall into his traps. And so this tragic diagnosis causes her to lose control of all that, and now as she struggles to maintain the separation between her work life and her personal life; things sort of start to fall apart.

Thirteen just came out as bisexual, and your character on The O.C. was bisexual as well. Do you think it’s a vibe you’re giving off?

[Laughs.] This is only my second time playing a character who’s bisexual, and I’ve played a lot of straight people, but of course people don’t care about that. But in both of these cases the sexuality of the character was created before I met the writers. And I think in both cases, in The O.C. and in House, it’s not a situation where it’s two girls making out as a rating booster. It’s not some kind of Girls Gone Wild ploy.

On House I definitely think it’s a great twist. Because whenever anyone sees a young woman in the same room with House, they think they’re going to get it on. And now, they’ve created this person who you don’t know, you know? If she’s in the same room with Cuddy, are you going to assume the same thing about them? I sort of love that it’s going to keep people guessing. You’re never going to be able to say, “Okay, yawn, now I know who’s going to get together. This is so predictable.”

Thirteen and Cuddy!

Yeah! You never know. I love Lisa. It’d be great.

Are you more of a hypochondriac now that you’ve filmed a whole season of House?

Well, it’s funny, because I was in Thailand in December and I got Dengue fever. It was awful, because for a while I had no idea what it was. And I kept thinking, If only I had House here with me!

Definitely. So, the question of the day: Is Wilson really leaving Princeton Plainsboro!?

I think it’s a great risk that they’ve taken, taking this solid pillar of the show and shaken it up, weakened it to the point of collapsing. It’s not a permanent thing, this tragic separation between House and Wilson, but it’s not something that can be easily repaired. It takes a long time, and there are a lot of failed attempts at a quick patch-up.

He’s not gone forever, obviously I’ve given that away.

They definitely have taken that risk and broken them apart. Broken up the romance. The bromance, as I’ve heard it called...

As we see Olivia Wilde jokes with the possibility that she and Cuddy have a lesbian relationship, obviously, can be a simple joke, or it may be that the production of the series takes this direction with these characters.

Well, here we tell them, do so! Cuddy is perfect for Thirteen. Definitely we want these two women live together, a love story ...

If this happens, House would be one of the happiest ..... envious, but happy. (Clearly not fail to daydream or spend jokes about it).

I leave you with a trailer for the new season of House (and put a lot of attention from 0:58 until 1:19) .... that you enjoy it.

The Cyber Relationship ...

Hey LesPlanet's girls, today you put an item related to the cyber relations. This article is designed to teach you to be safe when you're connected to the Internet and includes our recommendations to help protect you from people who might want to deceive you. We hope that will help you discover the world and lesbian online yourself, too.

CARE IN CYBER RELATIONS

The network can be a wonderful thing that you open new worlds, especially if you're a teen lesbian. There is a tremendous amount of resources and sources of information at your fingertips. But, as well as put a girl of 10 year old who has never left a small town in the middle of a city, nor would it be a good idea to begin your journey cyberspace until they're properly prepared.

PEOPLE ARE NOT ALWAYS SAY YOU BE

Electronic services allow personal freedoms that the real world does not offer. People aged 50 can become teenagers again. Rings of marriage are not visible in the virtual world.

If you're a teen lesbian, you're probably still "in the Closet" (a term that implies that no one even knows you're a lesbian) maybe you're beginning to understand and accept your sexual orientation. It can be very gratifying and liberating to find other girls that are connected to the Internet like you.

By this means you can get the support that you wanted and needed to find someone with whom you can talk to who understands what you're going and can relate to your own experiences.

All these factors combine to provide the confidence to give someone on the other side of the screen. Maybe, in some cases, you come to rely too much on the people.

You can at any time decide to join your virtual friend in the real world. In the real world it is cheaper to talk and is also more gratifying to have someone to talk face to face.

But I remind you, as in the real world, appearances can be deceptive. There are people who connect with the simple aim of finding people with whom to have sex. There is nothing wrong with that. The sex between consenting adults and consented to sex among younger people is not a bad thing.

We know many teens lesbians who are looking for, primarily, friendship, acceptance and someone that understands. Many of them are going difficult times and sometimes they do not have the good image of themselves that they should take. That happens a lot because of the homophobia that surrounds us. So it can be very nice if someone who knows that you are lesbian or bisexual loves you by your total person.

The problem is that some people believe that everyone is a potential sexual partner simply because they have the same sexual orientation. They know they can manipulate a teenager, using their sense of wanting to be loved. Or maybe, you can achieve manipulate saying that certain sexual activity is what it is all about being a lesbian.

Some people try to convince you to do things for which you will feel bad later. So it's important to remember that your body is yours and only yours, and you have the right to stop things always make you feel uncomfortable.

TAKE CARE IF YOU DECIDE TO MEET HER

If you decide to join a virtual friend one day to make sure everything carefully. You never know someone in your hotel room or at her home. Meet only in a very safe environment, like a mall or restaurant popular. Meet either in a safe place several times before the first meet with the person somewhere private.

To some extent, you need to invest time to build confidence again, because things in the real world are not equal to things in the virtual world. The consequences of a mistake can not be turned off simply by turning off the computer.

If you decide to meet someone, make sure to inform your family wherever you are (you can do this without saying with whom you together, to talk about, and so, if you want to keep something private). Use your own transportation, or make sure you have money set aside to return to your home in case things do not go as expected and have to return home earlier than planned.

If you end up in a private then remember that your body is yours. Your body is under your control. If you do not want to be touched (any way) be sure to express it openly. If something starts to move out of line, beyond which you feel comfortable, then stop. And do not feel guilty to get respect.

Do not worry that these are uncomfortable with you or be afraid of that they like least. Do not do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable after all, you have to wake yourself every morning.

IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP SEX, DO SEX WITH INSURANCE...

While not think there are many lesbian teens your age. Can be found online or at a local social group or activity to our community. If you become friends with a person of your age group and start to see more than just a friend, they naturally want to go out with her. According to the best you know you may choose to have sex as part of your relationship.

But be clear on something very important, a relationship does not necessarily imply having sex. Love is not synonymous with sex.

If that's the case then you should ALWAIS PRACTICE SAFE SEX.

IN CONCLUSION

We do not want to be afraid to everyone you know on the internet. In fact, electronic services are a kind of global resource for lesbians because for many teenagers is the first time we have the ability to find talk to someone.

We know many people of different ages lesbians have found that couples who really love on Internet, but also the people as unfair as there are everywhere So ALWAYS be careful.

LesPlanet's girl of the week: Sarah Shani

Hi dear friends and readers of LesPlanet, as discussed yesterday, we will put a special post for our beautiful Sarah Shani in that wonderful memory of what has proved its participation in L Word and moments of fun and so sexy that's leaving us very dilated pupils ... and unfortunately that as everything points, not again : (

This post will consist of a very interesting interview that she made to Sarah for some time in relation to her character and her speech at L Word as well as their privacy, this girl is really very funny (and very sexy ... This has already had said earlier ...: P)

We're going to see some photos you take away their sense of who sees this beautiful woman and a final video released by LesPlanet on its history with Shane and her intervention in L Word.

This post as we said yesterday is dedicated to all fans of this incredible woman ... and especially to Sandra Cánepa from Uruguay. We hope you enjoy it.

Interview with Sarah Shani

You are new to the series and your character is quite complex. Your character is a lesbian who is embroiled in an interesting dynamic between two women who are good friends, Jenny and Shane. How did you prepare for Carmen?

I think there are many similarities between Carmen and I, in the sense that it is not a stupid girl, she faces her feelings, not going out there and flirting knows what she wants. Carmen and I'm not playing well.

As for the lesbian aspect, is quite similar in the fact that I ... I became interested in it for a while. we also live in LA, and I have friends who go to gay bars, and sign out by these sites. So that part of me came naturally, by my own experience.

In the first episode you have to make a fairly explicit love scene with Kate Moennig. Never having made a lesbian scene like that before, so do you feel comfortable?

Well, if you get nervous doing a love scene, because you're not a stranger to someone you know. And there's always a lot of people watching and although it is a "closed system," there are some 15 people [laughter].

But Kate is a wonderful actress and gave me a feeling very comfortable. And as our characters on the screen, we are very comfortable feeling also off the screen. I come from that kind of person that when cameras are rolling, I want to go for it, I did not save anything. And Kate is in the same way, so it was really easy, given that it was my first day ...

Do you had to shoot that scene on the first day?

Yes! I arrived in Canada the day before and when I appeared on the set was like: "Hello Sarah, this is Kate, and I will ride with you today. Kate, this is Sarah." [laughter] [laughter] Oh God!

Well, survive. Tell us about the early days, being the new girl is never fun. All the world knows very well, some living together during the shooting. I personally I would have terrified sense in a situation like that. How was it for you?

Well, as you say, they are very united and are a fantastic group of girls, so yes, I felt like new.

So I had to let things pass, because you can not stand there and say: "Hi, I'm new and we are going to be good friends now."

So I devoted myself to work, would do the best we knew and then return home.

Then, little by little, I began to talk to the girls in the shooting and soon they asked me to do things outside shooting, as dining out and things like that. But I think that letting go of everything it did naturally easier.

Lesbians may be so ... individuals, and some lesbian fans of "The L Word" can be more. It simply never have enough and they want details. I suppose you've seen all these messages on the Internet, everyone seems to be very curious about your inheritance. Want to tell us now? Because if not, hell will fall.

[Laughter] OK, my father is the Middle East and my mother is Spanish and I am a mixture.

I grew up in Texas with a bunch of white American children, that is how I wanted to be. It was like: "Mom, I want to go to school Catholic." "Well, your father is a Muslim, so you can not." [laughter]

My dad was a little tyrant. It was very special with the language used, which naturally had to be Persian. They divorced when I was very small.

Do you live with your mother after the divorce?

Yes, and then my mother became a kind of free spirit. In fact, it's fun when it enters into the series she was like, "Whoa! A moment, what are you going to do what before the camera?" And now that is already in the air thinks it's sexy and loves (imitates his mother with mime) "Oh, I would like to try lesbianism!" [laughter]

Have you learned something from the lives of lesbians as a result of being in the series?

Only that there is no difference between them and heterosexual couples. I mean, What's the big problem? They are like everyone else, so we must leave them in peace.

Sex is personal for everybody, so I would still want to do it!

They have problems, infidelities, they want to become pregnant, they marry, have their things, like everyone else, so what matter? Another answer to your question would be if I know, (if that querias know) definitely montármelo as with a woman if ever I find myself in that situation. [laughter]

Well, so it has been ... practical! And along with the theme, last year, before the start series, the producers went lesbian films as "High Art" and "Desert Hearts" to cast as a way to make them see the scenes that work and those not. Did that see them as well?

[Surprised] Hmmm. No, nobody taught me anything. I did not know that.

Well, for me, the scenes work when put to sex secondly, do you know what I mean? Unless something as crude, and you're doing, then goes.

But there is always much more into it and sex is the last thing we must act. Everything goes on to connect with another person, be with their eyes, or how to touch or how to feel. It's just the time when you let go and sex is secondary to that. Unless, of course, it is only animalist, that is all-what-the-director-wants.

Your lucky you were with your character is a role to exploit. What do you like most of Carmen?

You know, what I like most about Carmen is that she has great spirit. I think all the characters in the series are, but she wants to be good and have good energy in cree around it. Yes, it has gone hard times, being a latin lesbian, why is not easy with their religion and all that.

But she did not lie down leads and is not a victim of its society, so to speak. And I think this is where she and Shane really connect. Not only is the love life of Shane, but I think Shane is going to learn some things that affect their personal thoughts on Carmen. What they have is special. I mean, those two girls [pause] are definitely the one for the other.

I think that many viewers will be able to realize this, even if they have not experienced themselves.

OK, ending with some personal questions. We have done a survey, so I wonder: If you, Sarah, could maintain a long relationship with any of the characters in the series, who do you choose and why?

[Pause.] It is a big question. Um ... let me think about it. Alice!

Alice, OK, Why?. Why have large breasts. It has large, and white chests. That is why choose. I love it.

OK, and a member of casting escogerias to spend a night and why?

[Without pause] Shane.

Why? [laughs] It is obvious why! It is totally and completely obvious why!

Pictures of Sarah Shani of heart attack .... they are careful not the fall drooling ...

What I can tell us, there are no words to express themselves after seeing these photos ... : P

And last but not least, we edited the video of her incredible love story with Shane ... and her participation in L Word, Enjoy it.
