Tonight Q Center (4115 NE Mississippi) hosts a night of experimental lesbo theater when they put on She Had Wept. A series of vignettes inspired by the poems of Michelle Le Blau (the writer/director) is an experimental piece that tells a remarkable coming of age story of one young lesbian, and imparts the many struggles that all women face in society today.
A collection of poems and monologues that […]
 From Left: Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Ryan Seacrest at the 'American Idol' finale
Buzz across TV land predicted that the outlandish, and quite probably gay, Adam Lambert would take home the top prize at this year’s American Idol. Alas, the favorite was upset by the cute, but not nearly as deserving, Kris Allen.
Even Mr. Allen was slightly stunned by the news: after the host Ryan Seacrest had told him he had won, he said, “Adam deserves this.” (By contrast, Simon Cowell appeared to lodge a silent protest from his seat, declining to stand and applaud Mr. Allen’s victory with his fellow judges.)

Although we loved the artsy-ness of the previous site we feel this new design will be more flexible, easier to load, and look better on a range of browsers (I’m a bit of a Mac snob sometimes, I know…)
But, of course we are still working out the kinks, and want to hear your feedback on the layout, functionality, and especially any errors or weirdness you encounter.
Thanks […]
A couple of really great events almost snuck by our radar! But we queers can roll with the punches so whether part of the younger crew or the “grown-ups” we’ve got lots for you to do tonight.
SMYRC hosts its annual Queer and Trans Youth prom tonight, Circus Smyrcus, at the (for now) SMYRC headquarters (2100 SE Belmont). The alcohol and tobacco free event for the Q set between the ages of 14 and 23, takes place tonight from 8 to midnight and will feature the music stylings of DJ Tara, free food and raffle prizes. And unlike your typical suburban high school you don’t need to buy overpriced, couple-centric tickets cuz this party is free.

Plagued by technical difficulties, Katastrophe inexplicably MIA, and no EZ Heeb video screening, the Athens Boys Choir show was a bit of a letdown. But, although Red Bull may not have been in the best interest of trans homo-hop star Katz, a good time was had by all nevertheless.
The tiny venue of Dunes is dark an intimate and the gaggle of baby dykes and sweaty boys made for a great mix.

Although they could have culled the 3 minute promo to a more svelte minute or minute-thirty the promo for this weekend’s Strut fashion show, a benefit for Basic Rights Oregon takign place at Luxe Autohaus (410 NE 17th) this Saturday May 16th at 7pm, is still worth watching.
And, according to Byron Beck, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Portland Edition contestants will be “competing” following the the catwalk fest:

 Athens Boys Choir's Katz
Although it is unlikely that we will ever get that oh-so-catchy pop sensation “Fagette“ out of our heads Athens Boys Choir is back with a brand new single and video for “EZ Heeb.” He’ll bring it live to the stage, along with fellow trans rapper Katastrophe this Thursday at Dunes (1905 NE MLK, 9pm $5).

Unfortunately, once again qPDX was unable to attend one of the it parties of the year, The Red Dress soiree which hosted its “Red Eye” themed soiree last Saturday. Luckily, over 2000 clad in in red gowns were in attendance at the benefit for those living with HIV and AIDS.
From fellow local blogger Byron Beck:
Last year’s RDP was more of a political meet and greet (perhaps that had to do with the fact Chelsea Clinton crashed the soiree), but this year’s party seemed to go back to its roots as a literally balls-to-the-wall blow-out of drunken debauchery (thank god).

 Oregonian file photo of Sam Adams
This week has produced some updates in the ongoing Mayor Sam Adams/Beau Breedlove inquiry when The Oregonian published a story chronicaling Adams’ 33 phone calls to the underage Breedlove.
Adams’ phone records show he made most of the calls to Breedlove in the weeks after they met in March 2005. Three months later Breedlove turned 18, the age of consent in Oregon. The records don’t show when Breedlove made calls to Adams…
