On My Honor: Lesbians Reflect on Their Scouting Experience

This is a wonderful book of personal stories and entertaining anecdotal pieces such as 'All I really need to know about being a Lesbian I learned at girl scout camp.' From a personal perspective this book was a gentle re-assurance that I and my circle of lesbian girl scout friends are not alone. This book underlines a belief that I have always had, that the lesbian connection is a spiritual one foremost and a sexual one as a result. There is such a warmth,bonding, and level of oneness that you can feel with a woman, that for me has never been possible with a man, despite my own 11 year marriage. I discovered this "lesbian connection" while being a counselor at a girl scout camp and fell in love with another wife/mother much like myself. Our love bloomed quite naturally and a year later we were both divorced and living a completeness we never knew existed. It was then that it was revealed to us that there were several others like us - in our own council. They sensed what was happening with us, stood back and let the journey take it's course. This book is a gentle and sincere voice that needs to be heard all across America in GS Councils everwhere.
