Here, have some rainbow […]  Sexist, Sizist advertising by Bacardi I just found out via Facebook that Bacardi has decided it’s a great idea to come up with a sizist, sexist ad campaign for their Bacardi rum.

Below are my weekend highlights but we really want to hear yours, so comment below! Continue reading » Obama – Don't support the DOMA. Equality for queer people NOW Well… Backto reality. The comedown is here, personal and political, small scale and large scale. While we are still dealing with the shambles left behind of a fantastic Pride, we are also hearing about gay bashings of queer/trans people here in our fair city and community. And now this- it seems that the Obama administration may be […] Sara Ray and friends hold op a rainbow flag to shield themselves from the rain at the Pride waterfront village It was a wild ride my friends but pictures from this weekend’s Dyke March, headlining Uh Huh Her performance at the waterfront and Sunday’s big Pride Parade itself are ready for perusal.
