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.

Last night saw a plethora of queer nights going on, as I’m sure you already knew. I’m sad I didn’t make it to Dirty Queer – I heard it was a great (and hot) evening of X Rated Open Mic debauchery.I also missed the Trans* Family Picnic. Oh well. You can’t be everywhere! But I seriously needed to take a breather and snuggle with my teddy bear (and blog and work and finish the QPDX.com banner and …) so I decided to skip DQ and attend my friend’s graduation-from-PCC-aftershindig at The Maiden, which serves some killer food, strong drinks and slightly annoying flamenco music. And there were plenty of queers there! Congratulations Marissa and Amber, job well done! Continue reading »  It's Portland Gay Pride - Parade Time! We’re nearing the end now folks! But there are still a few opportunities to get down and dirty and maybe even shake your tailfeather… Sunday is of course the day of the Pride Parade, which starts *around* 11:15 – Sunday corner of Broadway and Davis and goes down to the waterfront/Tom McCall Park. Watch for float no #94, that’s us, yours truly! And we have some amazing, stunning news for you- the elusive SuperGay has contacted us via a sekrit communication channel and announced that they will be supporting us by being part of our Pride Float!! We’re super excited for SuperGay – I, Perry, have to go see a man about a dog on Sunday, so I’m very glad SuperGay will sup-port us, geddit? OK, enough puns, y’all know the parade and afterparty at the park are the highlights of Sunday…stay hydrated!

Among the craziness of Pride begins yet another festival that queers might have interest in…Pedalpalooza. Luckily it goes on for a couple weeks because our brains and bodies can’t really take cycling beyond the transport that we’re already putting in going from party to party. Indeed, my brilliant titling just goes to show how much energy I have left barely embarking on day 3. But the first of the gay bike schtuff starts tomorrow so I’m doing what I can to get the info up…
