 Last year's Gender (Free) For All march. Photo by Heather Smith Gender (Free) For All recently changed its name to TransEnough, and it looks like the group may have many transitions on its plate, even in the midst of a summer full of Pride. This year’s gathering, which already splintered off from June’s Pride celebrations last year, has not been widely publicized and will not include a march at all. This [...]  SOUL REVOLUTION: *New, extended deadline: July 31! Did Riot Grrrl (or any variety of DIY/punk feminism) change your life? Whatever gender you are, whether you’re in your 40s or in your teens, whatever punk rock feminism means to you—we want to hear from you. We (Cat Tyc and Sara Marcus) are making an interactive video installation at girlstothefront.com, in conjunction with Sara Marcus’s book [...]  Recently I’ve gotten bent out of shape because of the homophobia that’s pervaded my life. I’m tired of being expected to cater to people that I know deep down inside think I’m a second class citizen because I like hot man-on-man action. I could gush on and on about it, recounting many a woefully depressing tale, but I know it’s something we all have personal experience with to a greater [...]  "Dyke" train I promised you pictures yesterday and here are some gems from the qPDX Cali trip from the 2010 San Francisco Dyke March as well as the pictures from the big 2010 San Francisco Pride Parade. Enjoy. Like
 Diana downs rose with the big pink fist at the Dyke March Truthfully the ol’ memory bank is a little thin, not because I didn’t have a good time but because I DID. And as I said before, this trip was more about personal Pride enjoyment than queer media coverage, but my friends and I have some pretty good stories to tell so I figured you might want to hear [...] Queer Agenda Episode Four from wolf and owl productions on Vimeo. 4 people like this post.
 Go go boys at the Red Cap Block Party. Photo by Mike Burt Mike was shooting with such fancy equipment that it took awhile for him to really get all the galleries up, but they finally are! That also means that if you spot yourself in a shot we can most likely make a really nice print for you. If you’re interested just email me at alley@qpdx.com. And stay tuned for [...]  Loyal Portland followers. Our apologies if the posts are a little slow this week. I know we missed what was probably an epic Funeral Party at Dirtbag last night to say goodbye to the Blue Parrot. And really, we love you the best. But we had you covered all PDX Pride and we have all the photos and full coverage to back it up.We have more shots up on our [...]  Grand Prize winner Untitled by J.T. Ollett So as not to subject herself and her staff to the anger that comes from not choosing your friends’ photos for prizes in the 2010 Just Out Pride Photo contest editor Marty Davis left the task to celebrity guest judges, including me. I was joined by Paul Fukui from Q Center, Artemis Chase, performer extraordinaire and Jeff Fisher of LogoMotives fame. We didn’t have [...]  Gay Cat Wow – what a weekend. I don’t know about you, but I’m still recovering, and finding glitter in unexpected places. This year’s Pride was an amazing experience for me. Five nights, ten parties, two marches, and zero gay bashings or homophobic incidents (as far as we know). A vibrant, powerful and peaceful pride despite a lot of changes this year – to the Pride route, to step-off [...]  Trans Family picnic I am so not ready to recap and recuperate from Pride, but I did manage to get some photo galleries from the Trans Family picnic as well as Friday night parties Crave, Gaycation and Robo-Bogo/One Night Stand. Pride 2010 was amazing. That’s about all the commentary I can presently muster. 1 person likes this post.
It hasn’t even been a year, and Bearracuda has already snuck into the niche as one of the hottest, gayest parties in Portland. DJ Boyshapedbox spinning at Portland's first Bearracuda in July '09 Roasting the grill an hour early, Bearracuda starts at 8pm tonight at Branx (320 SE 2nd) with DJ Matt Consola, Sam Storicks, DJ Rude Dudes, and DJ Boyshapedbox. The Mercury’s Queer issue is heralding tonight’s [...]  DJ Freddie Fagula at Do the Dark Why are we constantly plagued with camera issues? A curse on both our houses? qPDX needs an equipment sugar daddy y’all…But for reals, I did at least get a few crappy shots from last night’s Gender Bender and Do the Dark. Even if I am more excited to see the portraits from Wednesday’s Gay Pizza, taken by the lovely Deya Card. Put ‘em [...]  Cazwell and Amanda Lepore will be at the Stark Street Block Party So yeah, the 11:30 step off time for the Portland Pride Parade is pretty much a guesstimate, and we’ve all just been partying for 4 days, so Gay Standard Time is general operating procedure. But it’s the 40th anniversary of the first Gay Pride (Lordy lordy look who’s 40…) so you better be there with your fairy-ass bells [...]  Things I learned today include that it’s really tough to be funny that early in the morning even if you do have coffee and a vodka lemon drop in front of you, and you can be a gold star lesbian without knowing the word cunnilingus. I think that’s all I really gleaned from this morning’s antics. Well, at least I don’t come off as a pompous ass…oh wait…

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 [...]  Lez-host Emily Gibson I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I only discovered local online radio project PDX.FM after meeting resident lesbian Emily Gibson who, along with Sabrina Miller and Robert Wagner host Morning Submission (recently redubbed Morning Drunkmission). So, in honor of Pride weekend, and of getting even less sleep by being at a downtown studio at 8 in the morning, yours truly, plus the lovely British/German accented Perry Winkle [...] |
