Including contributors such as Dexter Flowers, sts, Kathleen Bryson, Tony LeTigre, Sarah Gottesdiener, Marc Acito, Christa Orth, and Sarah Dougher, this book has been on my to-read list for quite awhile. Like  Every now and again qPDX must stand behind a public service announcement. This April 1, and no, it’s not a joke, we refuse to be invisible any longer and should stand up and be counted for the 2010 Census. And though the government survey woefully only counts gay couplings rather than the numerous among us who are queer enough of our own, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has [...] Delease Carter is suing the PPB for harassment, unlawful arrest and battery. Photo from the Oregonian Delease Carter, a 21 year old student who lives in Northeast Portland and studies at Portland Community College Cascade (my old stomping ground!) is suing the city of Portland for battery and unlawful arrest.

My first reaction was “three in a row??” and I find it good/strange/telling that I would pretty much feel the same way [...] Q Center located at 4115 N Mississippi Ave. Photo by Ashley Bedford In last week’s Conversations form the Gayborhood, we chatted with the executive director of the Q Center, Kendall Clawson, about the Winter Gala (which was a huge, glittery success!). This week, we switch gears from the details of the annual party to the details of the daily grind at the Q, as well as Clawson’s experience meeting President [...] Vandalized LGBTQA offices with the swastika carpet removed by police Oh man, this is a sad state of affairs. The LGBTQ Alliance space on a liberal campus with a thriving queer community in a hippie town in a liberal state has been vandalized by spraying enormous black swastikas on the floor and on computer gear, the Oregonian reports. No signs of forced entry to the office space have been found [...] The interdisciplinary academic arena that is Women’s Studies, Gender Studies or Sexuality Studies is one that is rife with opposing opinions. Indeed, that is one of its great strengths and great frustrations. I attended Smith College in the early aughts and what to call this specific department was contonually under debate, even though the decision to keep it Women’s Studies (because we had to keep the “We study women in [...] Just a quick note to let you know that the popular lounge night “GLOSS” @ Invasion is sadly taking an indefinite break due to Carlee’s busy schedule.
