Oasis Journals | A Writing Community for Queer and Questioning Youth.

Michelle Klucsor, 19, of San Jose, California

By Jeff Walsh

Michelle Klucsor didn't have any stress going to her first gay youth group meeting -- at the time, she thought she was straight.

The now 19-year-old college sophomore says she first went to a San Jose, CA youth group when her friend asked her to go with her for support.

But it was more difficult when Michelle finally decided to go for herself. "The first time I went on my own, it was still pretty scary," she said. "I got there early and I was nervous, but the people there were really friendly.

Harvey New Year

Harvey Fierstein With a new album in stores and a movie on the way, everyone can get a dose of gay America's sweetheart

By Jeff Walsh

Harvey Fierstein has earned three Tony Awards for "Torch Song Trilogy" and his written version of "La Cage Aux Folles." His starring performance in the movie version of "Torch Song Trilogy" has helped hundreds of thousands of people accept their own sexuality and the sexuality of other family members. And younger audiences are sure to remember his hilarious role as Robin Williams' gay brother in "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Pansy Division

Pansy Division By Jeff Walsh

In February, queer punk fans will get another peek into Jon Ginoli's bedroom as Pansy Division releases its third album.

As was the case with their two previous albums, Ginoli is still single, still frustrated with the gay community and still writing great music for everyone else in the same situation.

The Great Lesbian Haircut Conspiracy

24 February, 2003 - 5:47am — DiamondDog

The scene: Paris, 1927. A time of the great writers Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway.

Heingway, unbeknownced to Gertrude and Alice, has been bad mouthing the pair to anyway who will listen. (In legend, this is because Gertrude was seducing one of his wives with Alice's brownies. This is legend of course.)

Gertrude and Alice go to their barbar, but to their horror he has left town. Gertrude complains about this bad luck to her 'friend' Ernest who reccomends his personal barber who tends to his entire family. He is thanked and the couple goes on their way. Ernest calls ahead and askes for a bit of a practical joke...to shave their heads.

Reflective stuff, featuring names that are in-jokes

24 February, 2003 - 4:51am — Jillie

After a couple of intense impromptu debates, I went home to my boarding school, and my friends and I all sat down and talked for about an hour in the caf at dinner. Seated to my right was my debating partner, a particularly smart and interesting boy I shall call Nesterly. To my left was an incredibly hot bi chick with her chair slanted slightly towards me and her leg touching my ass. Across from me was Sidney, and beside her was No Ah.
