End War Fast and Arrest

End War Fast and Arrest

As expected, the CP covers the ongoing End War Fast targeting the military recruitment center in Oakland.  As you can imagine, the police are being less than cooperative and, apparently the protestors are depriving Oaklanders of greasy fast food, photocopies and overpriced bandaids.  Darn them!  Imagine the exercise of civil rights getting in the way of commerce […]

Dessert, Bingo, and the Zoo — A Gay Bonanza in Pittsburgh (plus other stuff)

First, some upcoming queer things to do in Pittsburgh … OUTrageous Bingo is this Saturday, September 15 at Goodwill's building on the Southside.  This is a good time and benefits two local causes — the GLCC and Shepherd Wellness Center.  “Dining for Diversity” also takes place Saturday evening from 9 – 11:30 @ SPACE downtown.  […]

Gay sex havens, ginormous strollers and Larry Craig

Gay sex havens, ginormous strollers and Larry Craig

Bradley S. Gelder of Point Breeze is not a fan of police officers staking out public restrooms noted as gay sex havens.  Even more disturbing and surprising than the continuing homophobic right-wing hypocrisy exemplified by the Sen. Larry Craig story (“Idaho Senator Stepping Aside,” Sept. 2) is that police departments continue to waste their time […]

Mike Rogers – Outing Hypocrites One Blog Post at a Time

Mike Rogers – Outing Hypocrites One Blog Post at a Time

I like Mike Rogers, the author of BlogActive.com.  Rogers uses his powers for good, outing hypocritical legislators who hide in their pathetic closets while publicly voting against gay rights.  From a profile in the Washington Post: For three years now, he's been a feared one-man machine, “outing,” he says, nearly three dozen senior political and […]

“Take your tolerance and shove it.” — wingnuts shower the love on Jerry Lewis

“Take your tolerance and shove it.” — wingnuts shower the love on Jerry Lewis

Good grief!  I've been blogging for about 20 months during which I've tackled everything from Rick Santorum's former spokesfag to annoying Republican ice cream twins.  I've mocked the homophobic Ravenstahl administration.  I've targeted Joey Porter, the Archbishop of Nigeria, the City Paper, Edgar Snyder, a lesbian variety show, Pride in the Streets and most major […]

Stuff I wonder about …

Stuff I wonder about …

Just some random questions I have … 1. Why can't you recycle caps from plastic bottles?  No one from the recycling world has been able to answer this question. 2.  Do thongs/shoes with a little thing between the big and second toe hurt all women's feet? While at the Waterfront this afternoon, I noticed that […]

Breaking News — Jerry Lewis uses “fag” on the air during live telethon …

h/t Ms. Monongahela I did not see this myself, primarily because I would rather gouge my eyes out with a stick than sit through 78 hours of Jerry Lewis.  Instead, I went shopping. It seems I missed quite a moment today.  Jerry Lewis refers to someone in the audience as “Jesse, an illiterate fag” while […]

Goodreads …

Goodreads …

I can't rave enough about this social networking site for booklovers.  I added a little widget thingy to this blog so you can keep up with what I”m reading.  I'm not ashamed to say it is not all literary — I read a lot of mystery novels.  Check it out!

Outdoor movies, swimming pools & where the hell is Flagstaff Hilll?

Outdoor movies, swimming pools & where the hell is Flagstaff Hilll?

Yesterday was a productive day here at Lesbian Central.  We both had the day off and got started early with a quick blog, a bagel and a several errands.  Stopped by Construction Junction to donate a microwave (poked around, but came up empty handed)and then had lunch at The Quiet Storm.  I have to admit […]

Idaho Senator to Resign; GOP Pats Itself On Back for Saving Family Values … Again

Idaho Senator to Resign; GOP Pats Itself On Back for Saving Family Values … Again

Well, surprise!  Larry Craig is supposed to announce his resignation this morning, according to the AP.  The GOP is scrambling like mad b/c this puts a safe seat up for grabs.  Well, technically they'll get a GOP appointee in to finish Craig's term and then the seat is up in the air in 2008.  So […]
