Dear Dr. Mo Love,
I am 28 years old and I have a 4 year old son. I have been with my partner since my son was a year old. Hell she’s been there for him more than his father has. Her and my son’s closeness is noticeable to our family and friends as well. They really admire how she caters to him and provides for him. While my baby’s father is not the greatest provider in the world, he is a fairly good daddy, he spends quality time with our son and frankly- puts forth serious effort in teaching him right from wrong although he has had several brushes with the law himself. He is currently unemployed and can not assist with my son’s monetary needs. He is 6 months behind in his child support payments. My girl and I take care of all of my son’s needs, Read the rest of this entry »

As more and more women become infected with H.I.V. in D.C., the city’s Health Department will begin handing out free female condoms wherever male condoms are handed out. According to reports, Washington D.C. has one of the highest H.I.V. infection rates in the U.S., with 3% of all adults and teenagers in the District infected with the virus.

The sun is shining, the weather’s warming up on the east coast, and gays are getting married in Washington, D.C. - now that’s a beautiful day. In case you haven’t been following, today marks the first day same-sex couples could get married in the nation’s capital since the passage of the marriage equality bill a few months ago.

D.C. Superior Court began accepting applications for marriage licenses last Wednesday (March 3), but due to the processing period, couples were unable to get married until today.

We reported last week an African-American lesbian couple, Sinjoyla Townsend & Angelisa Young, were the first to register for their marriage license.  Today, African-American gay couple Reginald Stanley and Rocky Galloway were among the first couples to get married.

Today is such an exciting day for proponents of same-sex marriage. Why? Today marks the first day same-sex couples could apply for a marriage license in the country’s capital. D.C.

Dear Dr. Mo Love,

I am what one would call a stud, butch, aggressive, pretty boi type or whatever you want to call it lesbian. I mean I am completely masculine. I have been ever since I can remember, even as a child I can remember feeling more comfortable in boys clothing, wanting to hang out with the boys in my neighborhood where I played every sport with them, from tackle football to horse shoe. I am over 30 now so I have been in the life for a while. When I became of age I went to a barber shop, not a beauty salon for my haircuts and texturizers. So I am what some would call “all boy.” My problem is, I do not like to be touched in my Read the rest of this entry »
