Hetero-monogo-binar-illa-normativity & Cookie Dough.

by Lyla Cicero on Apr 10, 2013

This is what compulsory heterosexuality is. It’s not big brother knocking on our doors and telling us “You are going to be straight, vanilla, marry, and be monogamous, and that’s just the way is it, young lady!” It’s much more subtle, and much more pervasive than that. It’s everywhere. It’s in everything we see, but most of all, it’s in the many, many things we don’t see. It’s in everything we are told about ourselves, and it’s in the silence of the things that are clearly in us that not one ever sees.

…Eve isn’t just the part of me that likes girls, she’s the part of me that wants a do-over. I feel like I’m having a second adolescence and this one’s way better.

Why I’d Love a Four-Person Marriage.

by Lyla Cicero on Jan 31, 2013

You can dismiss me as a horny, closeted lesbian looking for an excuse to cheat on my husband all you want, but I know deep down you’d love a few more folks in your house making grocery lists, cooking meals, doing dishes, cleaning up after your kids, and banging your honey when you’re too exhausted and just want to sit and scroll through your Facebook news-feed.
