I just stumbled across this interesting article on why, it seems, apparently, that women are leaving men to pursue relationships with women. Personally, I think this isn’t anything new (insert reference to historical celebrity here) but what definitely seems to be changing is the way the media is dealing with celebrities getting imto homolicious relationships. After the first shock, for example, it seemed that the paps were focusing more […]

In honor of recent gay marriage happenings in Iowa and New York the indomitable satire man Stephen Colbert has created a pretty fantastic anti-gay marriage commercial that aired last night on his show. I even learned 2 new amazing words: arma-gay-don and Gays-real. (Is Massachusetts P-town really our Mecca?) Believe me this is 6 minutes of internet procrastination you won’t regret. The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / […]  Photo by Danielle Peterson / Statesman Journal 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. Continue reading »  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. Continue reading »
For those of you unfamiliar with RuPaul’s Drag Race, it’s a Reality TV show hosted by the legendary RuPaul herself—who is searching for the next drag superstar (Think Priscilla meets American Idol or even Top Chef and you’re almost there) Candidates are evaluated on their style, attitude, skills and overall fierceness. Continue reading » Everyone’s favorite lesbian anchor, Rachel Maddow, continues to light up the screen on her show…and everyone else’s. Last night she appeared on Jimmy Fallon and they had adorable banter about drinking and masculinity. Although they may have already been a little tipsy, as both kept spilling the vermouth. […] We all know the L Word ended, or rather didn’t, badly…and we are all dying to talk about it. Well aren’t we? Is Mama Chaiken going to take over the world with L Word spin-offs? Is Helena saving herself for Winkle? Will we get a better microphone? And is incest really relevant to who killed Jenny? Continue reading »
Oddly enough I don’t see any viewing parties that have popped up around town on first glance so please use this post as a forum to let us all know about your special part-tay. (If you happen to be living in NYC you have a lot more options.)

He keeps his comments quick, simple to the point and, for the most part, fairly positive. He identifies 3 major steps forward he believes Obama can accomplish in his first term: 1 – A trans inclusive ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act) 2 – A trans inclusive hate crimes bill 3 – Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell And while he was less sure about the timeline of a repeal of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) he thinks the fight is coming and it is worth it. Best yet, he blatantly and loudly calls Justice Antonin Scalia a homophobe. Go Barney! (I love you…You love me…) For the full video (which is actually only 3 minutes) click below Continue reading » |

Nevertheless, I DID end up at the Red Cap Garage last Thursday until quite late to witness something I think I’ve never seen before-a Drag Pageant.
TV commercials and your ladyparts
When I first saw this bush sculpting lady-Schick commercial the other day I found it amusing, but Sarah Haskins takes the social commentary surrounding female genetalia to a much more thought-out and thorough level…
