 your chance for a quiet night in.. A grab bag of important/not so important stuff…first, a brief afternoon update on the happenings tonight. Just so you know it is NOT doubledown tonight @ holocene (we had it on the calendar and it were wrong, so, apologies, holocene is closed for a private party tonight. I want to have a private party at holocene, damnit!) I also have family in town all the way from Planet Urop, so i’m not getting as much blogging in as I usually do. Continue reading »  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. Another example of stupid people getting paid too much? I really feel that addressing sizism and sexism in the queer community and in society in general is part of my “mission” as a queer person to create a more equal, more loving, more respectful and diverse society. There are so many hot big girls and boys (and everyone in between) in this town. Plus, we all know queers drink a lot. (let’s be honest, here) Fuck You Bacardi, I don’t support any alcohol that uses discriminatory practices in their advertising ! Continue reading »  Pornapalooza It’s a bit last minute but you were just gonna be at home with your porno mags anyway right? Well instead, head on down to the Dirty Duck (439 NW 3rd Ave) tonight at 9pm to exchange your tired and worn pages for brand spankin’ new stuff. Continue reading » June Crush Theme is androgyny Just a quick note to you all that if you feel like going out, tonight is CRAVE @ CRUSH. It seems to be a quieter weekend out on the queer partty circuit, which is probably a good thing because Pride was a little excessive! But if you’ve recovered enough to want to shake your booty with the young, hip dykes of Portland, head […]  QBoy will be at Crown Room Thursday June 18th I know we’re all barely recovered from Pride, but tomorrow already sees two great competing nights out. The queer party at the Crown Room (205 NW 4th), Delicious, has been a laid back dance party sensation for a few months now, but this Thursday the party steps it up with rhymes coming all the way from the UK with a live performance by queer rapper QBoy. Continue reading »  Stop hate and violence in and towards our community Pride is over, our hangovers have subsided, the messes have mostly been cleaned up – but what remains is the foul aftertaste of violence, harassment and threats towards individuals in our community. This is new – what is going on, queer Portland? Continue reading » Another take on the disturbing brief that was issued by the US Department of Justice in support of DOMA. It compares same-sex marriage to ” marriages between cousins or an uncle and a niece” and that as a result, they do not have to be recognized. Rachel Maddow commented on this in her show, and you can watch it here. Continue reading »  SuperGay stampedes for Rainbow Truth Wow, thats all I can say. Wow 1: I can still come up with a meaningful alliteration after this weekend, and wow 2: Portland Queer Pride 2009 was AMAZING. A year of firsts: The first time QPDX.com has had their own parade “float”, the first year there has been 110+ groups in the parade, the first time SuperGay had a proper outfit, the first time I decided to go for FIVE straight days of Pride partying. Five days. Five outfits. A kajillion drinks, a million miles on my bicycle, a shit ton of parties, SuperGay jumps, fake beards, hair dying extravaganzas, automation-style condom gluing, flyering, banner making, gender bendering, raindbow deco-ing stampede of gayness. But sadly, on the edge of all the celebrations: tinges of violences, aggression, and disrespect by the police. I’m still waiting for the dust to settle. Continue reading »  Sam Adams' bike contingent at Pride 2009 Now that we are all finally recovered from our hangovers it’s time to reflect on the weekend. It was a wild success that saw the gorgeous Miss Sabel Scities win Portland’s Drag Race, 115 floats, thousands of attendees, very few protesters and about a million parties. 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 […] |
