Dyke Marching

7/4/2019

New York City dyke march is one of my favorite events of the year. I was really distraught when I thought I had missed it because I was out of town for a conference. The dyke march is a protest started by dykes 27 years ago and still going strong. It happens the day before NYC Pride and there are no permits. It steps off from Bryant Park, goes down Fifth Ave and ends in Washington Square Park. On a hot day you’ll see many dykes & allies in the fountain.

Dyke March is an important part of Pride
month because Pride has become ridiculously corporate and faux inclusive. I march to make sure trans, female and gender nonconforming individuals are seen. The Lesbian Avengers are the founders of the march, which is a political statement.

Hi, I'm Reverend J, a queer+ sober wanderer, activist, writer and ordained minister.

To pay my bills and support my travels, l toil 7-3 as an educator.

Although I collected many tales as a wild drunken solo female over the years, my globetrotting adventures continued throughout my recovery from alcohol and drugs, which began in 2004.

Throughout my travels I've noticed there aren't many other sober queer folx on the road. I hope to connect with others while on the road, and be a connector for others as well. Booze isn't necessary to have a good time.

One of my passions is plants and making herbal medicine. I studied herbal medicine with Wild Gather in Hudson, NY, and in Orlando with The Florida School of Holistic Living.
