There has been a lot of speculation regarding Katharine Hepburn's orientation and gender experience, and though she was rumored to have affairs with some women, if she was queer, she was not out. There is a biography that says she had a boy alter-ego named Jimmy when she was a kid and that she had several affairs with women, and that she and Spencer Tracy were basically beards for each other. But there is a lot of refutation of the things said in that biography and I can't put my hands on the source material.

Anyway, here she is being adorable and letting some girl put an eyeliner mustache on her.

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

"I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell."

"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."

"There are no new ideas. There are only new ways of making them felt."

"Your silence will not protect you."

Dorothy Allison - Author, Femme, fellow redhead, and amazing mentor.

Dorothy has written numerous books but is probably most famous for "Bastard Out of Carolina". If you havent read it, I demand you get yourself to the nearest library and get it now. It is simply amazing.

I'll post my pic with Dorothy from the last Femme Conference if I can find it.
