Fridae

Fridae's resident lesbian columnist, Fire Sia shares her experiences about being heartbroken and searching for love and sex in her fifth column.

In her fourth column, Fire Sia writes about the "comforts" of being straight in response to letter from a "straight" reader who is attracted to her female neighbour.

Fire Sia shares her experiences about coming out to oneself, friends and family, and the world in her third column.

In her second fortnightly column, Fire laments about how her girlfriend's Mr eX is causing her so much grieve.

This is the first of a fortnightly column by Fire Sia in Manila, Philippines. She speaks candidly about labels, finding herself and what it means to be a lesbian.

Like drag queens and ultra campy gay men, butch lesbians attract more than their fair share of once-overs, dagger stares and evil glances. Fire Sia shares her own experience and how we can attempt to force society into involuntary tolerance.
