YEAH RIGHT!!!.......2004-01-31

THIS IS NOT LESBIAN MUSIC, BUT A CORPORATE MEDIA MAN'S VERSION OF WHAT LESBIAN MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT!!! THEY ARE TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT HERE. I SEE NO REASON TO BUY THIS CD UNLESS YOU WANT TO EXTEND THE DOMINANCE OF MALE OPPRESSION OVER TOP OF US!!! STOP THE MADNESS, WHERE IS MEG CHRISTIAN AND JOAN ARMATRADING!!! BRING BACK THE REAL LESBIAN MUSIC!! KEEP OUR MUSIC 100% LESBIAN!!

Holiday music...for the rest of us.......2001-08-19

Strictly speaking, this is not a Christmas CD, nor is it an especially gay/lesbian CD. The music will appeal to a wide range of people...that the artists are mostly gay/lesbian is incidental. I enjoyed all the music on this CD, but my favorites would have to be:

The Truth About Christmas - Lea Delaria offers a humourous look at what Christmas is really all about.

Just In Time For Christmas - Alright, this would have to be my favorite...especially since my husband and I met right before Christmas...14 years ago. "You showed me what Christmas is about!"

Change Of Heart - Holly Near updates this wonderful song that never fails to warm my heart.

I could go on, but let me just say Bill McKinley, Michael Callan and The Flirtations all make this a priceless addition to any collection.

Excellent, captures the Holiday Spirit not always happy.......1998-12-10

but always gay (atleast in this case). For many the Holiday season isn't a time of immense cheer. We find ourselves estranged from our friends and families, we are reminded of the ones we have lost, and we feel a bit side amongst the glittering lights. This album is for you. But, don't think that it is all depressing music, because there is also a very positive message of love and joy that flows through every song. We may not always be happy, but we are always gay.

Happy Holidays under the Winter Moon.
