Like many of you, i’m a facebook addict. I never really got into myspace as much as many did, but I really love facebook. It’s less cluttered than myspace. It’s easy to use. It’s easy to find people. All my friends are on it. Squabbles over changes in the user agreement aside, and no, I don’t like the new format either, Facebook is still a great marketing/networking tool (and a bit of a timesuck). But this here issue is something that made me pay attention. Apparently, it seems, Facebook has a rejected an ad deemed “too racy” despite the fact that the creators claim many other ads on FB are a lot racier. Is the ad being targetted for being “too gay”? Is FB turning homophobic? Will this be the next AmazonFail?
From the switched.com:
 Facebook Rejects Lesbian Film Ad We’re not gonna deny that the advertisement to the right would certainly be described as “sexy,” but it’s hardly lewd or inappropriate. So why exactly did Facebook reject this ad for ‘And Then Came Lola,’ a film targeted at a lesbian audience?

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 […]

Can’t we? And I quote “Can’t we get over my penis? It’s not even that impressive; more like an extra-large clit. What are you, sizeist now?” This delivered straight from the missed connection section of craigslist. It’s hilariously titled “Missed Connection with Every Lesbian Girl I’ve Ever Swooned Over.”
I’m not going to ask the question of why. I know why. Gay women are hot.
Women are hot. Women kissing each other with no men present is hot. Honestly, I think that the bi women are the ones who really get to men. There’s potential there.
Straight dude to me on New Year’s Eve at the E-Room: Do you want to dance?
Me: Like with you and your gay friends?
Dude: No. Just me.
Me: So you came here to meet women?

Oh I do love love a girl that doesn’t take herself too seriously. And really who hasn’t dated a few redheads who have been in a car chase or 2 and had a restraining order? I think I’ve dealt with enough crazy…maybe I should call her for a date?

Come on, admit it. You’ve all done it-cruised the ads, that is, hopelessly mining the black 10pt Times New Roman on white, or even in your RSS feed viewer if you’re a technophile, searching for that elusive flash of recognition. Or maybe you just like the drama, the requests for initials, the coded messages between Frogbelly and Ratboy, the tortured twisted poetry sent out into the cold world of the intarweb, transmitted but only possibly received…or the slanderous name slinging and “your dead to me” threats, or even, maybe, the “me: brown hair, blue eyes, you: black tee, blue jeans, short hair, you looked at me for a second from the other side of Holocene, meet me for coffee?” infused jabs of wistfulness.
Whatever it is, you’ve done it. Read, that is. Skimmed. Maybe you’ve even posted your own ad? What is it about the missed connections ads in this town-everyone’s reading them, everyone’s writing them, are we too shy to talk to people up front any more? What happened to taking risks, asking someone out? Why are we resolving (or, actually, not resolving) our issues with people in public forums?

 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.

 Nothing new to us lesbos, nor should it be new to the Hollywood set, but breakups and drama happen. So it is really gossip-worth that Linsday Lohan and Samantha Ronson may be splitsville? Well, I guess that’s what gossip is.
However, though tabloids from People to Queerty are claiming the young gay dynamic duo are done, lesbians also know that these breakups can go ’round and ’round for a long time no matter how crazy the girl is or how many time’s Sam’s family urges her not to return.

Beau Breedlove in a particularly porntastic pose
Actually this little bit of gossip isn’t really as juicy as the title would seem to suggest but anything involving our intrepid mayor-fucker is bound to be newsworthy no?
According to gay-blogger-in-the-know Byron Beck, Breedlove has been dating a server from downtown’s Rock Bottom Brewery. Beck goes on to say that the other double B also left his number with […]
