Every time we think this horrific saga might just end, there’s another wonderful wrinkle. Local station KGW aired an interview with Breedlove wherein the young man expresses anger over more of Sam Adams lying and evasion.

It's finally summer! Time to go to Sauvies.

A queer guide to Sauvies Island!

A queer guide to Sauvie's Island!

Sun, sand, swimming, summer….Sauvies! You’ve heard about it, but you’ve never been? Well here’s your ultimate Summer Guide To Sauvie’s Island! In fact, 2/3rds of QPDX.com will be at the naked gay beach on Sauvies just today, so i’ll take some pictures of the signs so you can find it easier. If the “Naked” aspect makes you hesitant, not to worry. Lots of dykes wear shorts and go topless, lots of dudes wear shorts, and yes, some go naked. The area we are describing is queer/trans friendly so chest surgery scars etc are a relatively common sight.

PNCA Queer Art Show

I often lament Portland’s lack of a dedicated contemporary art museum, but like most projects, PDX espouses a more DIY attitude. We may not have an institution but we have plenty of local contemporary art, much of which is helmed by queers.

Three upcoming shows around town have have queer themes, though all are very different.

This week tastes Delicious…

I have only been in attendance once or twice but I’ve been excited about new queer upstart Delicious for some time now. Not quite a brand newbie but still so fresh and so clean resident DJs Jimme Jamma and Stormy have been tearing up a nicely mixed, but refreshingly male energized, Crown Room (205 NW 4th) for a couple months now.

And that would be enough for a good […]

Double Down makes for a nice pillow too, ha!

Oregon statewide prides

bend-pridePortland may have the largest population of queers and the biggest Pride celebration in the state, you don’t have to be a city dweller to have Pride. Some places in Oregon may be more LGBT-friendly than others but many areas, be they college towns, rural areas or growing communities are excited to get the chance to show off their local Gay Pride.

Here are some of the celebrations happening all across Oregon. If I have missed any let me know!

Tonight: Gender (Free) For All Benefit @ IOW, Fruitcake!

Fruitcake, or Michael Jackson? Same diff

The times are a little quieter right now, it’s true, what with Seattle pride and San Francisco Pride dueling for our attentions this weekend. QPDX.com will mostly be staying in town, due to overworked livers and overworked bank accounts, but nevertheless there are a few opportunities to party this weekend. We already wrote a little preview for the GFFA benefit happening at […]
