thank you for your comments sleezo - much appreciated!

throw in a drink and we're even

thank you for all of your comments - i know that something is still in the works and we will be posting more information about what actions we can take as a group as soon as it becomes available.

I know that my friend Audrey has successfully contacted the police who are charging the man who threatened her with harassment, which is good news..

MAJ- the gestapo was an organization headed by racist, nazi thugs who killed people as part of the regime that destroyed one of my home countries. I personally don't take comparisons with it lihtly, just as a heads up. I appreciate your comments - but I have to say I'm shocked and upset to hear you say you're glad the "Safety bubble" has been burst. Real people have been hurt by these incidents. I understand where you are coming from but as a gay bashing victim, whose "safeft bubble" was burst by getting the shit kicked out of me, it's hard for me stomach hearing that that is something you're glad about.

And for the record, I have to say I think squirt guns are annoying, but they are not assault, unless they are used in an assaulting way, and throwing condoms (which QPDX.com did) is in my mind not something you do with intention of hurting people. Throwing shit is fine - and throwing punches is not, in my opinion. It's the intent behind it that counts.

I'm not sure a straight mayor would comment on drunk dykes fighting in the parking lot of a bunch of queerbo freaks getting pelted with beer and insults...i respectfully disagree with that statement. Historically, straight politicians have pretty much always ignored gay causes until forced to engage with them through widespread protest and activism...

I have since heard that Airick was actually physically assaulted by locals in the area after the event, and is intending to go to the SMRT (sexual minorities round table) next month. I have also invited him to comment on this blog...

and our mums
and caffeine and sugar

i have it from a reliable source that they are bringing in a DJ all the way from the UK (via Southeast Portland). Details TBA!

Yes, totally. While Chaz isn't the first celebrity to transition "on the job", (Alexis Arquette and Larry/Lana Wachovski are probably the first two) but Chaz is the first FTM (if that is how they identify...) to do so publicly, and wow, Cher...intense!
