RuPaul said something else offensive about trans women? What?! Un-possible! Give me a minute! Let me lie down! RuPaul is, and always has been, about causing a scene and creating controversy.

The group is called “Death in June” (that’s ominous for queer […]
I have never been to Pride in the Street because I don’t really like standing in crowds, especially if people are drinking.

More details coming after tonight’s Decision Day Rally. Congratulations to Oregon! From Freedom to Marry: Eighteen states – CA, CT, […]
Earlier this month, I reported on a situation where a volunteer with “Art All Night” was open carrying a handgun at the event. While Ledcat made her final rounds looking at the art, I went to sit down and listen to a mandolin player. I was puzzling over the probability that the two girls making […]
