Queer Pride Week at PCC Sylvania

There’s a lot of us queerions that make our way through the pathways of PCC Cascade on a daily basis, so I sometimes forget that the main campus is really Sylvania, even if it is all the way out in the ‘burbs. And this week is Sylvania’s Queer Pride Week, put on by their Women’s Resource Center.

Events include:

Lindsay Lohan’s “eHarmony” dating profile

Oh I do love love a girl that doesn’t take herself too seriously. And really who hasn’t dated a few redheads who have been in a car chase or 2 and had a restraining order? I think I’ve dealt with enough crazy…maybe I should call her for a date?

Lindsay Lohan’s eHarmony Profile from Lindsay […]

Silverton, Oregon’s trans mayor, Stu Rasmussen, may get his own reality show

Portlanders expect our hometown to be weird, and indeed, I think Portland could launch a thousand successful reality TV shows. What we don’t expect is to be upstaged by a small town neighbor. When the first openly trangendered mayor, Stu Rasmussen, was elected last fall, however, Silverton clearly got the best of us. Now they may beat us to the reality front as well.

More TV queers, tonight a tough cop on NBC’s ‘Southland’

Southland's John Cooper

In 2009 it queers still scour the small screen in order to find representations of ourselves. The recent debut of NBC’s Kings showed us a pampered, spoiled and closeted crown prince. As a villian he plays perfectly into the stereotype of the evil gay. But another NBC premiere tonight at 10pm may serve to provide a more nuanced gay character.

Southland‘s John Cooper (played by Michael Cudlitz) is a rough and tumble LAPD cop.

A little part of Sissyboy is back with a game-show benefit. As part of Just Out’s Diversions:

How do you take something ridiculous and over-the-top and make it more so? The general recipe calls for nasty sassy drag queens, talent shows or 80s game shows. This overwhelming melee of more than you ever expected from American Idol has all three. In a night of Sissyboy-hosted mania, “The Gong Show,” a benefit for Outside In, takes over Rotture (315 SE Third) tomorrow, Friday, April 10th. Doors are at 8 p.m., show at 10 p.m.

The men of Burlesquire are very cute. They are also very talented. The opening number of their first full-length performance, Mannequin, was a 5 piece bit of choreography that was very much Backstreet Boys meets La la Cage aux Folles. That, along with a very typical comedienne drag queen emcee, Miss Genesis Wild, created a first impression that teetered on the edge of trite. Luckily the show did not linger there long.

Celesbian break up drama

Nothing new to us lesbos, nor should it be new to the Hollywood set, but breakups and drama happen. So it is really gossip-worth that Linsday Lohan and Samantha Ronson may be splitsville? Well, I guess that’s what gossip is.

However, though tabloids from People to Queerty are claiming the young gay dynamic duo are done, lesbians also know that these breakups can go ’round and ’round for a long time no matter how crazy the girl is or how many time’s Sam’s family urges her not to return.

This Saturday’s Burlesquire extravaganza still has me reeling on several levels so a cohesive review is still in the works. But what these interwebs are good for is transparency of process so, while I gather my thoughts I am happy to share with you yet another Winks and Hunks poor audio quality podcast.
