Pride Saturday...keep it comin' queers

Rose City Sirens

It's Kaj-Anne Peppar vs Blow Pony…who's gonna win?

I know yer tired…so am I…but we persevere…cuz it’s Saturday night y’all

The Dyke(ish?) March – Despite all the confusion and disorganization the Dyke March will trudge on in 2010. But be careful because it’s an hour earlier this year! Gathering at 5pm with a 6pm step off this parade of “dykes” is really more about celebrating Portland’s appreciation for and power [...]

Local queer filmmaker takes 'Field Guide to November Days' on tour...by bike

Film still for 'Field Guide to November Days'

Film still for 'Field Guide to November Days'

In Portland the queer community and the bike community are inextricably linked. Arts, culture, and film overlap with both. So the latest project from Sampo films, run by Nick Peterson and openly queer partner Mary DeFreese is quintessentially west coast LGBT.

Championed by prominent gay filmmaker Gus Van Sant, the duo’s first several films were shorts that, at 20 to 40 minutes, were [...]

Rai Villanueva will help kick off Pride with Thursday's gay ass Diesel party

Recently added events starred like so*

Truthfully, I think I’ve been putting off the Pride 2010 calendar because there’s do damn much to do that I’m overwhelmed. So let’s take this piece by piece. First, there’s plenty to do before we even get to the weekend. Workin’ stiffs, of which I now be one, gird your loins and [...]

So get your sweatbands on and pull on those short shorts, because it’s gonna get hot and sweaty! Not only is it Beartown 15 all this weekend, it’s also a grab bag of fun stuff to [...]

2010 RCSA Games: Come get some!

Swallows vs. Extreme

The Swallows swap high-5's with Extreme after dominating them with a final score of 10-0.

The competition is fierce this year as RCSA teams vie for the best standing. 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 in me. I think [...]

Husky boys clothing swap and Bear Bowl

You wouldn't believe how tough it is to find pictures of famous fashionable fat men…

This month’s video podcast features plus size fashion shop Fat Fancy and the trend is quickly taking hold of the Rose City. But men, dykes, and masculine identified individuals of all sorts are also getting into the fashion game. And though there is some men’s duds at the FF plus sized gentlemen still have few [...]

Beefcake photos of Lance Bass as a boxer

Hint of black eye and bicep make Lance Bass as boxer a perfect tease. Photos by VGL's Braden Summers.

Today brings you just another sexy celebrity photoshoot for no other reason than prurient interest and a tangentially gay theme. Today’s hero is former boy band member Lance Bass as a badass boxer looking way hotter than he ever did as a spritely twink. I mean look at those abs. [...]

Wrestling in a kiddie pool full of slippery stuff might be fun, but it has a purpose as well.Hundreds of dollars have already been raised for [...]

Pride 2009 in review

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!

Training with Pride

It’s June. The pressure is on! No more rain, and lots of sunshine, lets face it this is why we all love Portland. Amazing summers, pool parties, Sauvies Island, sipping Margaritas at Dingos, sitting outside on the Red Cap Patio, and Burger nights at Starky’s. Portland is once again a thriving Oasis of food, booze, and yes swim suits, shorts, and tank tops. We can’t hide behind our Columbia Sportswear [...]

The gay stuff at Pedalpalooza

Among the craziness of Pride begins yet another festival that queers might have interest in…Pedalpalooza. Luckily it goes on for a couple weeks because our brains and bodies can’t really take cycling beyond the transport that we’re already putting in going from party to party. Indeed, my brilliant titling just goes to show how much energy I have left barely embarking on day 3. But the first of the gay [...]
