 This weekend saw the opening of BIGGER: Fat Fashion, Fat Politics, Fat Beauty, Fat Art, a celebration of all things of size at the Q Centern (4115 N Mississippi Ave). The brainchild of Stefanie Snider and the Bertha Pearl, Bigger is an Art of Fashion Exhibit to show that fat and beautiful go together, that fat and provocative go together, that clothes made bigger will entice your imagination and […]   Vote Karol Collymore for County Commissioner County Commissioner candidate Karol Collymore may not be gay, but she gets an honorary badge…so says fellow queer journalists and shakers Stephen Marc Beaudoin, Byron Beck, Caryn Brooks, Jim Radosta, Bryan Boyd and others. She’s received the endorsements of The Oregonian, Willamette Week, NARAL, and several elected officials. Her policy and personality make it a no-brainer for qPDX to add itself to this list of supporters. Running in District 2, encompassing North and Northeast Collymore has a solid record of LGBT support and community activism including work with Basic Rights Oregon, Hands on Greater Portland, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon and a year-long experiment hosting progressive dinner parties for small non-profits like Schoolhouse Supplies and P:ear. She was also a longtime staffer for Jeff Cogen, current commish and in the running for Multnomah County Chairman. Continue reading »  PORTLAND QUEERS! I would like to invite you and all of your friends to the first of potentially many installments of a women-centric DJ night called LUNA LUNES.

Photo by Mike Burt Yours truly, along with contributing photographer Mike Burt were in attendance at Red Cap Garage for last night’s Portland Drag Race finale. The night went a little slow, as Portland performance is wont to do, but it left plenty of time for schmoozing and chatting and a great time was had by all. In case you missed […]   DJ Lifepartner Today I find myself waiting for the elusive LIFEPARTNER, also known as Kirk Sutherland; A timid yet charming creature. Lifepartner wears thick rimmed glasses, fitted jeans, crisp new A.D.I.D.A.S’ windbreaker & canvas shoes, and sports a full beard. He loves playing dancehall, bounce and hip hop and anything new to the underground world music market. Today he shares his thoughts, opinions and some overall realness about inspiration, music and Oregon’s Queen City…  Rev your engines. The weekend begins tonight with the Do the Dark, my favorite new Thursday night hot spot with just the right size dance floor and cheap tequila drinks to feed my addition. Ill Camino, Trans Fat and a slightly wounded organizer Freddie Fagula will not disappoint no matter what. Friday, you must emerge from the darkness into a stark No Shade policy. Brought to you by DJ […]  Punk roots rock and insurgent country musician Shawna Virago.

And the Prince-themed party has plenty of photos courtesy OSI […]  2 hot guys in red dresses courtesy Marty Davis / Just Out We here at qPDX were not able to attend the season’s reddest fundraiser of the year, but tons of pictures were taken of 2010’s RedRum themed Red Dress.

And […]   Tahoe Jackson will perform Saturday at the Red Dress fundraiser. Photo by Wayne Bund This beautiful spring day has all the local queers riled up and ready to mingle. And we have many opportunities to do so.

The qPDX sponsored Crave brings the ladybeat back to Crush (1400 SE Morrison) with a Purple Rain theme that will have your doves crying and your feet dancing. DJs Alicious and Boy return to the decks with some 1999 love for your dripping purple heart.
