Kick Ball Change…one more time Just a final reminder that the LAST EVER Kick / Ball / Change (Dance showcase, and pretty much the gayest thing ever) is happening this Sunday at the Someday Lounge. Get your tickets here online (cheaper) or at the door (it may sell out and then you’d be sad!) Read what we had to say about the last two Kick […]  Blow Pony Moves, Portland Gay bar Closes After the events of Pride this year and the resulting events and conversations that happened here on QPDX.com and otherwheres, we were all interested in hearing what would happen next. Continue reading » I know we are a little late on this – but our friends over at the Gender (Free) For All March are probably already setting up at Unthank Park for today’s march and celebration for the freedom of gender expression for all! This is the *new* and sparkly incarnation of the transmarch that marched with the dyke march up until last year. So come on out for some pre […] An undated photo of the SMRT Pride group So I just got back from the SMRT (Sexual Minorities Round Table) and I want to gather my thoughts a bit before I post a full on response, but my first thought is that overall my experience was mixed. I feel like there were some great contributors there who really cared, I think that there *is* a lot of […]  Blow Pony has become one of the most popular queer nights in town Last night saw the first Blow Pony since the Pride weekend violence (of which Blow Pony was, sadly, the epicentre) and the muddle of police-ness that followed, so of course QPDX.com went down to Casey’s/The Eagle to check out what was going down. This Blow Pony went down without a hitch – but questions are being raised as to what can and will happen next, and despite the fact that on the surface, all is well, a lot of questions are being raised and right now, everything feels iffy. Continue reading »  Queer Town Hall in Portland, OR It’s been a few days, but I’d like to take the time to share the results of the Queer Town Hall that happened last thursday at the Q Center on Mississippi. The Queer Town Hall was a project organized by a bunch of folks in our community as a “response” of sorts to the recent acts of violence and inadequate police response that became especially evident over Pride Weekend this year. Town Hall organizers aim to create a space for discussion and the sharing of information and resources to empower us to engage with each other and the authorities in a different, and hopefully safer, way. Continue reading »  Learn basic principles of self defence with your queer and trans peers. In the wake of the incidents of violence that happened over Pride weekend that we’ve referred to a couple of times, one of the victims, Audrey, decided to take steps towards organizing a series of self defence workshops geared towards queer and trans people. The classes are taught partly by Jaddua Ross, who has been studying martial arts for a long time and are geared towards any experience level. Continue reading » BOYJOY and DJ GIRLFRIENDS are special guests! It’s time to get out your best, most gaytriotic partywear and saunter down to Holocene for some of that yum, yum Gaycation Fruit Flavour! This is truly a special GayCay, featuring DJ’s Snowtiger and Mr. Charming, along with up-and-coming pop hunks BOYJOY. We love BOYJOY since we first saw them at the Athens Boys Choir gig @ Dunes! One third […]  A queer guide to Sauvie's Island! Sun, sand, swimming, summer….Sauvies! You’ve heard about it, but you’ve never been? Well here’s your ultimate Summer Guide To Sauvie’s Island! In fact, 2/3rds of QPDX.com will be at the naked gay beach on Sauvies just today, so i’ll take some pictures of the signs so you can find it easier. If the “Naked” aspect makes you hesitant, not to worry. Lots of dykes wear shorts and go topless, lots of dudes wear shorts, and yes, some go naked. The area we are describing is queer/trans friendly so chest surgery scars etc are a relatively common sight. Continue reading » Stop violence in and against our community! For all of you who were waiting to find out the news about the Queer Town Hall that is being organized to discuss the recent acts in/against our community and the police response to said events, there is now a date, time and location set. Here the deets: Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 7pm-9pm The Q Center (4115 N Mississippi Ave) Here […] |
