Gay porn industry catfight

Written by Alley Hector ||

I may watch the occasional skin flick here and there but I cannot claim to keep up with the drama behind the gay porn scenes. But apparently the industry is in an uproar about the feud between porn queens Michael Lucas and Brent Corrigan.

Lube Job at Red Cap Garage

It’s about time we all got our engines revved and ready for the impending months of pride. The season is already off to an auspicious start with the emergence of a plethora of new weekly and monthly club nights, but tonight may bring a particularly steamy theme when Red Cap Garage (1035 SW Stark) hosts the very first “Lube Job.”

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 […]

Pansy Division's Luis Illades, Jon Ginoli, Joel Reader, Chris Freeman

Those boys who roared out the same 3 chord power punk with just a little more flair than their straight counterparts rocked my teenage 90s world, and they were called Pansy Division. These first and most famous gay boy punk rockers exploded queercore culture into all kinds of indie crowds. They gave me hope for a unified punk underground movement.

Written by Alley Hector ||

Two great Holocene nights have combined forces for one night only. This Saturday will see the emergence of DoubleSnap!, a delicious intermingling of the girl power party Doubledown with the funky fresh “I love the 90s” style of Snap!

Featuring an amalgamation of DJs from around the city and mostly culling from Hot Mess and the Portland Radio Authority talent pools, this thing promises to be a dance party staple for the ages.

Leave it to a Brit rapper with outlandish fashion sense to successfully break down the human condition. And the multiple personalities as displayed on magazine covers can offer a great start to a philosophical discussion as well.

As someone who is admittedly rather tethered to my iPhone I am all kinds of ready for gay dating to make its way to the location based computer god in your pocket. But, as usual, Grindr (iTunes link), released today, is only for the boys.

I suppose in reality you don’t need this service in Portland because on any given night you pretty much know where are the queer people are going to be, but as someone with occasional social awkwardness (which is also not unusual in this town) a technical crutch might be a handy aide.

It’s on a Wednesday and it is way the hell out there. These aspects of a new queer dance night that popped up in North Portland lead me to think it might not rise to the ranks of a truly popular queer destination. But then again, 4 or 5 years ago a little night called Booty opened up all the way up in what was then the middle of nowhere, in a tiny bar called Porky’s and it became a night of queer Portland legend.
