 San Franciscans respond humourously to WBC hatred The Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for it’s anti-gay stance (“God Hates Fags”and other tripe) and aggressive, homophobia filled picketing, is coming to Portland to picket Grant HS on June 3rd. The WBC regularly pickets anything that is not a supermarket trolley, but why they are suddenly descending on Grant HS isn’t quite clear. (They aren’t that rational.) An anti-picket demonstration […]  She postes funny updates. Rachel Maddow Tweets about George Rekers We’re not hard to please.  Murray Hill hosted the event Yep, that’s right. The first Mr. Transman contest took place in Brooklyn on Sunday, April 25th. If the video is any evidence, people had a great time! Murray Hill was emceed it, and Kastrophe was there! Original Plumbing also seems to have been involved. I’m excited to see none of the silliness that goes along with regular “pageants” go along with it […]  No Gay Bashing allowed, sorry After a lot of text messages and trying to find information about a string of neo-nazi attacks that was rumoured to have happened this weekend, things seem to be calming down – after speaking with folks at Rotture and asking around, I got no confirmation on actual details. It seems like no other PDX news sources have confirmation, either. So at the […] I have just heard from a friend that neo nazis or some other racist group may be targeting gay bars in the Portland area – apparently someone may have gotten jumped by some homophobic thugs at CC Slaughters. It’s not our intention to spread rumours, but tonight is a big going out night with Blow Pony, so for safety’s sake: 1.) Keep an eye out when you arrive/leave the […]  Sam Adams likes basil and stays mayor. Portland Mayor Sam Adams has been “in the wars”, as my Mum would say. A little affair with Beau Breedlove turned into a media snowball resulting in two recall attempts and a quasi-political-deadlock for Adams. A few years later, we’re still debating the ins and outs of, ah, the bloom of youth. The bespectacled politico has been trying hard to […]  Just a short while ago We’ve been a little thin on the ground re: coverage on DADT, mostly because so many political blogs out there do a better job than we ever could. But this is just in and worth sharing: GetEQUAL’s Dan Choi and five others have handcuffed themselves to the White House gates (Dan Choi’s second time!). According to twitter feeds (#dadt) they are currently […]  Beth Ditto Cover image "most shocking" Portland-based Punk singer Beth Ditto has copped the top spot on a website set out to rank the “most shocking magazine covers ever” with her naked photoshoot for the UK’s NME back in 2007. In case you have been living in a cloud of volcanic ash, like most of Europe is currently, here a reminder. Beth beat out Demi Moore, 9/11 […] Kaki's leaving Double Down! Come say goodbye! Kaki Marshall, River City Rider and club promoter extraordinaire (Double Down, Poptart, LubeJob, etc) , is retiring from putting on Double Down! Double Down is the biggest queer dance night at Holocene along with Gaycation and will be sorely missed – hopefully this will open a spot for another fabulous weekend night – but I’ve also heard that someone else […] Ricky Martin…We all knew, but now we know for sure! Ricky Martin has just confirmed a decade or so of rumours that he is, in fact, actually, really really gay, or as he states on his website: “proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man” I wonder where he will work with his public image after this, considering a lot of his work is based […] |
