This Cirque du soleil meets Freak show a go-go will feature female operated fire dancing, contortionists, stilt walkers, trapeze artists, clowns and more. The ladies describe their mission as: Continue reading »  San Franciscans respond humourously to WBC hatred The Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for it’s anti-gay stance (“God Hates Fags”and other tripe) and aggressive, homophobia filled picketing, is coming to Portland to picket Grant HS on June 3rd. The WBC regularly pickets anything that is not a supermarket trolley, but why they are suddenly descending on Grant HS isn’t quite clear. (They aren’t that rational.) An anti-picket demonstration […] Forgive me, my fellow Portland queers, for indulging in a bit of personal reverie. My favorite political commentator, Rachel Maddow, spoke this weekend at the graduation of this year’s Smithies. Despite being introduced to my least favorite of the 3 college presidents I experienced at my alma mater, 2010 lucked out on its speaker. What a long, strange 7 years it has been since I was sitting there myself… […]

Saturday Alberta Art Hop – Not necessarily a gay event, the art hop will satisfy your summer desire for local food, entertainment, and shopping. Continue reading »   Winning contestant Kaj-anne Pepper with backup dancer Robert Tyree Monthly drag competition Miss Thing at the Fez has quickly become the show to experience the breadth of Portland drag as well as a who’s who of almost every queer circle. And indeed, that night competition was just as fierce as we have come to expect. Nonetheless, no one was surprised when the incorrigible and amazing Kaj-anne Pepper took first place with his ironic, satirical and beautiful medley of both Gaga and Madonna. With live vocals and backup dancers perfectly exemplifying the Gaga aesthetic it was a no-brainer, despite the quality of all the acts. The ultra-gay theme, Lady Gaga vs. Madonna, produced a host of great performances starting with judges, including winner of last month, Bulimianne Rhapsody, who performed her own rendition of Paparrazzi instead praising the joys of wino-loving Carlo-Rossi.

I caught several of the afternoon matches on Sunday and will be the first to admit how entertaining they are to watch. Obvious sex appeal aside, there is something about gay softball that brings out the sports enthusiast […]   She Bop co-owners and founders Jeneen Doumitt and Evy Cowan The vodcast hasn’t forgotten about you! Queer Agenda is back this month with an episode dedicated entirely to newly opened women-centric sex toy shoppe She Bop (909 N Beech). Co-owner Evy Cowan leads us through some of the store’s most popular items including vibrators that thrum to your dance club beat (Blow Pony watch out), double dildos that engage the kegels, and beautifully blown glass pieces that are great for temperature play. And though perhaps less sexually useful, but just as entertaining, is the selection of vibes of yore. I do so love a history of sex. We open up this month with a brand new Oregon AIDS/STD hotline commercial. Continue reading »  Always dreamed of lacing up those dancing shoes, hitting the stage, and bustin out some kick-ass choreography in front of an audience of adoring fans? Well, here’s your chance! Pants-Off Productions presents the 2nd Annual Homo’s Got Talent Dance-Off Competition. Saturday, July 31st at the Jupiter Hotel Courtyard. Compete to win prizes from local businesses, and the prestigious title of Portland’s Top Homo Dancer! Requirements: Each piece must have […]  This weekend saw the opening of BIGGER: Fat Fashion, Fat Politics, Fat Beauty, Fat Art, a celebration of all things of size at the Q Centern (4115 N Mississippi Ave). The brainchild of Stefanie Snider and the Bertha Pearl, Bigger is an Art of Fashion Exhibit to show that fat and beautiful go together, that fat and provocative go together, that clothes made bigger will entice your imagination and […]  She postes funny updates.
