Iron Chef America program. But did you know that Cat Cora is also an out lesbian, winner of a HRC Hero Award and the founder of the non-profit Chefs For Humanity, an organization that mobilized to feed 3-5,000 people a day in Gulfport, Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina and helps people all over the world where food shortage is a problem.

Some people assume that once you’re in a good and healthy relationship, that your sex life will remain great through out the relationship. Our sexual connection, like other aspects of our relationships will normally ebb and flow. There will be times when you’re all over each other and time when your passion will decrease. Want to keep your sex life alive and vibrant?
Here are some things to avoid.

In an economy such as this, many people are concerned about losing their jobs. Decreased production, lay-offs and business closings are all real concerns for America's workers. But did you know that in some places you can actually be fired from your job, simply for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans and there is no legal recourse? As a matter of fact, only 13 states offer protection for LGBT workers. Seven states have protection for sexual orientation, but not gender identity.
How does your state rate?
Tonight is the last
L Word ever. After six years of loving her, hating her, or simply being annoyed by her, tonight we find out who killed Jenny Schecter. We also say goodbye to the object of everyone's lust:
Shane, out lesbian actress
Leisha Hailey who endears us as Alice, sexy
Jennifer Beals as Bette and her wife Tina played by bisexual actress
Laurel Holloman, plus other cast members
Tasha,
Kit,
Helena and
Max.
Every week for the past five years, I've been recapping each episode of The L Word. And I had planned to do the same tonight. But I find myself in an airport with a delayed flight to Chicago and I might not land in time to make it to the HRC L Word Party in Chicago. So, I need your help. Since I may not get to see the final L Word until I return home on Wednesday, this is your opportunity to send me your recap and opinions, so I can post them here for everyone to read. So, if you're watching the last L Word tonight and want to share your thoughts about it, email me and I'll post them here on Monday or Tuesday.
