  Military men do Gaga Never have I been prouder of our Armed forces. In between trying survive dangerous missions in Afghanistan they still manage to have some fun by filming Lady Gaga videos with some fabulous camo and costumes and fantastic footwork. YouTube user malimelcher, who posted the video, writes: Continue reading »  Murray Hill hosted the event Yep, that’s right. The first Mr. Transman contest took place in Brooklyn on Sunday, April 25th. If the video is any evidence, people had a great time! Murray Hill was emceed it, and Kastrophe was there! Original Plumbing also seems to have been involved. I’m excited to see none of the silliness that goes along with regular “pageants” go along with it […]   Does Senator Lindsey Graham need to come out of the closet? We just watched Outrage the other day, a documentary about outing gay politicians with anti-gay voting records. And on Jon Stewart he addresses a couple gay issues from the right and the left in his usual hilarious way. I think my favorite part is riding the immigration rainbow from Gaysylvania to the promised land of South Carolina. Continue reading »   Little Alley Hector circa 1996. This is from the original Chainsaw Chat page! This week I made an appearance on Michael Scott‘s OURview on OUTview online radio program. We talk about Constance McMillen, Huckabee‘s Rant, a possible lesbian on the Supreme court and the new singledom of Melissa Etheridge. But what I think is especially funny? While you listen to the audio the picture of me that you see scrolling past is actually from 1996. I was 15. Truthfully, I don’t look terribly different, but it was a shocker to see that picture again. Continue reading »  Just a short while ago We’ve been a little thin on the ground re: coverage on DADT, mostly because so many political blogs out there do a better job than we ever could. But this is just in and worth sharing: GetEQUAL’s Dan Choi and five others have handcuffed themselves to the White House gates (Dan Choi’s second time!). According to twitter feeds (#dadt) they are currently […]   The cast of 'The Real L Word' In this week that ends both the resurrection as well the the famed Dinah Shore weekend gays and lesbians are tired and news is thin. Even I stayed in on Saturday night, much to my housemate’s amazement. So instead of a weekend recap let’s greet Monday with two videos that have been making their way around the web. Firstly, let’s take a look at the trailer for Ilene Chaiken‘s new series The Real L Word. By all accounts it looks as vapid as the fictional series. Continue reading »  Norrie is officially acknowledged as "zie", photo from the SMH Coo-eee mate! I love Australians and I love Australia. A huge, far away country, with a small population (18 million) yet some of the most diverse, welcoming and radical queer communities I have ever been involved in. Continue reading » 
On March 18, a kickoff event at Q Center will officially unveil two PSAs targeting Portland’s gay, lesbian, bi and trans community to spread the word about the changes to the Census. You can check out one of the two below featuring locals Basic Rights Oregon’s Jeana Frazzini, Q Center’s Kendall Clawson, and Cascade AID’s Project Michael Kaplan and City Hall worker and former Portland Mercury Journalist Amy Ruiz. Continue reading »  Roy Ashburn comes out, but now what?
Roy Ashburn, a republican politician and classic victim of internalized homophobia that ends up fucking things up for everyone else, spent the last several years voting against Harvey Milk day, anti-gay bullying initiatives, gay marriage, and apparently even organized an anti gay-marriage rally. Oh and he’s from California, that lovely prop-8 state. A few days ago he was booked by the cops after driving around drunk in his state-issued SUV, coming from a gay bar called Faces and with a gay guy in the passenger seat. Smart move. Now what? I don’t think gays and lesbians will ever accept Ashburn into the fold. Maybe the Log Cabin’s want him? Continue reading »

…with tales from the dark side of dating. It’s Not Me, It’s You takes place tonight at the Bagdad Theater (3702 SE Hawthorne) and celebrates all that is awkward, bad and downright shameful about dating. An antidote for the upcoming V-Day or a reason to be grateful for your perfect little love muffin, these storytellers have some real tales to spin. And they are all devastastingly true. Even better, I make a brief appearance in one. Let’s see if you can guess which…
