What do you think About Our Chart?
L-Word creator Ilene Chaiken recently invited a bunch of people to sit down and talk about Our Chart, the social networking website based on "the chart" from the TV show The L Word.
Now that the site has been live for a while they're looking at what it is, where it is going and perhaps the most difficult question of all, who is its audience.
Interestingly, one of the questions raised was whether the site should be geared to lesbians or more broadly to all women. That question has sparked some lively responses, a few snarky ones and many that thoughtfully address the issue.
In searching the web for links to add to Best Lesbian Links, one thing is very clear... you cannot define "lesbian" with just one sentence. Our community includes a wide range of people, just like -- image this -- the hetero community!
I visit Our Chart frequently, not for the social part of it, but to read the blogs and mine news about the L Word. I particularly enjoy the posts from some of the people they call the Guestbians. Kate Clinton and Jane Lynch are at the top of that list.
I do find that often the site does not seem to be -- as Jane Lynch put it -- "geared toward women like her." I think that part of the problem is that it's tough to appeal to everyone and when you try to you risk appealing to no one.
What do you think? The Chart handlers are looking for feedback. Now is your chance to let them know what you think and maybe even influence the future of the site

Florida gay marriage amendment has enough signatures
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that sponsors of a proposed Florida state consititutional amendment to ban gay marriage have more than 611,000 signatures from registered voters... the magic number needed to put it on the November 2008 ballot.
If the proposal gets a 60 percent majority, it will become part of the Florida Constitution.
We need to do all we can to defeat this at the polls. It's bad enought that they collected enough support to be on the ballot but we cannot let it become part of the consititution.
What do you think... what can we do to help defeat this?
