Christians Protesting (Apologizing?) At Pride
It’s not often that a post on a Christian blog makes me tear up. A group of Christians got together last weekend and went to the pride parade in Chicago. They were there to wave signs and make their presence known and expose the homos to message of Jesus Christ. But unlike most self-identified Christians […]

Doctor Treating Pregnant Women With Experimental Drug To Prevent Lesbianism
That’s not fair, as Hanna Rosin at Slate will shortly point out. Pediatric endocrinologist Maria New—of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Florida International University—isn’t just trying to prevent lesbianism by treating pregnant women with an experimental hormone. She’s also trying to prevent the births of girls who display an “abnormal” disinterest in babies, […]

Village Voice Queers Jersey Shore
This week’s Village Voice features their annual Queer Issue and the shirtless boys of Jersey Shore on their cover. Waitasecond… the Jersey Shore boys are gay? Not according to them, and according to the New York Post, the Village Voice didn’t inform the beefcakes that their picture would be gracing the Queer Issue. Unethical bullshit? […]

Who Asked For Three Glee Movies?
We can snipe all day about whether it’s deserved or not, but Glee is a fucking cultural phenomenon. The boys and girls of New Directions have been traveling around America bringing the magic of fake high school show choir to their hungry fans BUT EVEN THAT will not satisfy our hunger for pizazz. That’s why, […]

160 People Sign Up for Queer Patrol
Facebook Mayor Adams and police Chief Reese: All smiles. Thankfully, Pride Week was free of any reported attacks against LGBT Portlanders, after a scary month in which the mayor, Portland police and state law enforcement agencies met with the queer community to hear stories of gay bashings going unreported on the heels of an attack […]

Anything Is Possible Through God
Jesus can turn water into wine, walk on water, raise the dead—he can even turn the gayest man in America straight… God’s not having my gangrene in heaven. But this screaming queen’s ascot—yeah, that’s getting in. I ask you again, America: Ex-gays…. would you let your daughter marry one? And, I mean, if someone is […]

The Texan Taliban
The Texas GOP’s party platform is almost indistinguishable from Uganda’s proposed anti-gay laws. Republicans in Texas want sodomy laws enforced (because the Supreme Court can go fuck itself—except, of course, when they’re installing a Texan in the White House), they want to make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple, […]

Your feelings on the Pride Parade route
Just about everyone and their gay dog is stupefied by this year’s Portland Pride parade route, which avoids most of the downtown arteries it typically travels, and instead snakes through the Pearl and Old Town, with its typical ending at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Here it is: Portland Pride 2010 parade route – umm…? I’m […]

Portland Police Will Hire LGBT Liaison, Beef Up Old Town Patrols
Another week, another press conference at the Q Center. Two weeks ago, LGBT Portlanders and their allies packed the center to sound off about recent gay bashings. One week ago, Attorney General John Kroger occupied the center to announce his response: whipping up a system for victims to anonymously report hate crimes online. Finally, this […]

Something Gay This Way Comes
PRIDE PRIDE PRIDE PRIDE PRIDE. It’s this weekend, people. The parade, the parties (the continued gay-bashings? Let’s hope not). And before the big weekend hits, a ton of rad LGBT pride events are springing up around town. My fave Pride event that I’m pretty sure you haven’t heard about: BLATINO NIGHT at LaFonda’s Night Club, […]
