Help Me Name My Column
I rarely ask for help with a project, but now I’m going to. As many of you know, I have been asked by the editor of the Empty Closet, our local GLBT newspaper, to be a regular columnist. I only have to submit a photo, and the name of the column to get set up. Unfortunately for me, naming things is not my forte, so I am asking you, my Gentle Readers, to help me come up with a suitable name for the column. Send me your ideas for a name, and I’ll pick the best one. If your name is chosen, I will credit you in my first column!
The column will be a look into ordinary life from my perspective as a Lesbian Disability Rights activist, and Woman of Color. While the column is serious, there will also be an element of light-heartedness and humor.
So, send in those names via the Comment section, and may the best name win!

Since the rag is called “the empty closet’ why not call your column the ‘hangar’ (y’know-like that which you hang clothes on) or howzabout calling it the ‘top drawer’ or ‘open drawer’.
Hey-glad ya got the gigt!

geez this is hard!! okapidread’s suggestions cracked me up.
let’s see… all i can come up with is Triple Threat: the musings of empty closet’s queer disabled woc.
it’d be cool to tie the title into some historical struggle that has affected all three communities though hmm…
still thinking…

I thought about naming the column “Tales From The Crip”, or “From Where I Sit”, but I wanted a funnier title to reflect the humor of some of the topics, too. Plus, I know some might be offended by the first title.

i like what you have now— dread1myn. even though you and i just met, it seems representative of you even though it may not reflect disability in the title.
