Love her, hate her, think we here at qPDX blog too much about her, there is no denying that the queer internets are all kinds of atwitter over Lady Gaga’s newest music video. In a duet with the fabulous Miss Beyonce, Telephone is a completely odd and queer refashioning of pop culture and I want to hear what [...]  Congratulations to first time drag performer Sally Ingus Wilder, who took Miss Thing by storm Wednesday night and walked home with the title.

So before little Rai Rai makes it really big we wanted to make sure we [...] Sunday’s Third Sex reunion show, with a 30-something friendly 7pm start time, was a rousing success. The mix of nostalgia, change, and straight up rock reunion made the show both a loving remembrance and a night of straight up dancing, jumping, singing extravaganza. It was particularly amusing to see the guitar balanced on Peyton’s bulging belly, pregnant with twins. And boy, those babies will be born singing. And the delicate-looking Trish, ended [...] Kaia Wilson returns to your computer screen with part two of her comedy documentary showcasing her drive toward the Gay Games 2010 where the rock star attempts to take ping pong to the next level.

But unlike cynics like Just Out and I, Adams exits the year on a positive video note.
