MySpace update

MySpace update

Well, it has been three days since I posted about MySpace and I've collected 14 friends and two comments.  Being true to my word, I rejected the one person who I have never met.  I'm not sure why she wanted to be my friend, but she handled the rejection very well. I also rejected someone […]

Reversal of Course on MySpace …

Reversal of Course on MySpace …

OK, I have caved and set up a myspace profile.  I know, I know … it was almost a year ago that I blogged about it being strictly for young people and “creepy” for those of us over 30.  I believe I wrote this: And then there is this “friends” thing.  Apparently, you connect your […]

The Birth of the Pgh Women’s Blogging Society

The Birth of the Pgh Women’s Blogging Society

A secret agent, a lesbian and a political junkie walked into a cyber-coffeehouse. A few keystrokes later, the Pittsburgh Women's Blogging Society was born. The Society is open to all women bloggers in the Pittsburgh region. To participate, you must have a virtual footprint be it a blog, email-list or dynamic website. Your gender identity […]

Sunday Round Up’ – Politics, Nudie Lesbians and the Loss of A Community Icon

Sunday Round Up’ – Politics, Nudie Lesbians and the Loss of A Community Icon

The Post-Gazette reports that local gay business owner and community advocate, Jay Bernard, has passed away.  Jay and his business partner Bill Stanhope owned Jay Design in Lawrenceville.  Jay was the founder of the Boys of Lawrenceville “a benevolent organization of gay men” and the author of a monthly column about pet adoption.  I've heard […]

The Trib on Pittsburgh Lesbian Scene – Huh?

The Trib on Pittsburgh Lesbian Scene – Huh?

OK, this just strikes me as weird.  The Tribune-Review sent a reporter to OUTrageous Bingo to do a story on the lack of a lesbian scene in Pittsburgh.  “Lesbian scene” should always be read as “no lesbians bars,” but we'll get to that in a moment. OUTrageous Bingo is a mixed event – gay men, […]

Where Oh Where Have the Lesbians Gone? Where Or Where Could They Be?

Where Oh Where Have the Lesbians Gone?  Where Or Where Could They Be?

Fear not!  I was on vacation last week, but spent my time cleaning out my empty house and preparing for the arrival of Pittsburgh's newest lesbian, B.  I inhaled enough dust, cleaning fluid and spider webs to bring down the mightiest of women, but persevered in the knowledge that I could spend this week going […]

My Wish List for PrideFest Entertainment 2007

My Wish List for PrideFest Entertainment 2007

 Pittsburgh is fortunate to have a talented pool of queer and queer-friendly performance artists, some of whom I have met over the past year.  They include singer-songwriters, spoken word artists, comedians, poets, rappers, puppeteers, and so forth.  PrideFest is the annual community celebration of all things queer (or gay) and includes a chunk of stage […]

Beaver County Man – Society Sissified by Affirmative Action

Beaver County Man – Society Sissified by Affirmative Action

What with all the weather and all, I missed this little gem of a letter in the Beaver County Times that was penned by Paul Kisiday of Freedom (ironic, no?).  Paul decries the sissification of contemporary society as exemplified by complaints over Super Bowl ads.  It seems that all the furor over distraught robots, homoerotic […]

An Open Letter to H’s Mom Regarding Homophobia

An Open Letter to H’s Mom Regarding Homophobia

Dear H's Mom, Congratulations on raising spunky, articulate and polite daughter.  As you know, she took the time to post a comment on this blog several months ago, sharing her thoughts on the Upper St. Clair performance of “The Importance of Being Earnest” and the potential for homophobia.  Unlike most of those who comment here, she […]

Coolest Gayesque Penguin Love Triangle Ever …

Coolest Gayesque Penguin Love Triangle Ever …

In what would be the coolest gayesque Pittsburgh love triangle ever, check out Pitt Girl's latest post … Did somebody start a Sidney and Mario gay rumor without me knowing it? Sonni and Sidney?  Or Sidney and Mario?  All I'm saying is that if Luke Ravenstahl ends up in handcuffs at the new hockey arena, […]
