I saw two examples this week of satirists using transgender themes to address important issues. One failed miserably — and I, and many other people, were disappointed, since it came from the National Women’s Law Center, traditionally an ally of LGBT causes. The other satire was a funny and — surprisingly — nuanced take from […]
I was in college when I first began watching Saturday Night Live with my friends Ann, BJ, Gail, Sarah, Suzanne and Mary. Imitating our favorite characters was always fun. And one of the best skits were ‘The Sweeney Sisters’ with Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks. It was not unknown for us to spontaneously break into […]
We’ve had Verizon FIOS for three months so I thought it would be a good time to reflect on how it has changed our lives. We weren’t exactly television snobs, just cost conscious. I think our lack of exposure to massive cultural shifts in that time period coupled with the pleasure of silence has created […]
Today’s blogging prompt is an Allen Ginsberg quote. But he didn’t write it in his own work. It is a quote from an interview he gave to another writer. It is not a quote from Howl the poem. “It’s more important to concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow […]

I had this little idea last year – the opening of the OUTrageous Bingo season would coincide with the possible entry of the Pittsburgh Pirates into post-season playoffs. What better way to celebrate the awesome #WeAreFamily tee shirts designed exclusively for the GLCC by Commonwealth Press than to make a video? Great minds think alike […]
Changing colors, dropping temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes: do these mainstays of Fall fill your heart with warmth — or with dread? When did PSL become a mainstay of fall (not Fall)? I guess when pumpkin spice latte gained a prominent hashtag aka #PSL which I use all of the time. I love pumpkin spice latte. […]
Facebook has recently been enforcing their “real/legal names” policy, resulting in a disproportionate number of members of the LGBTQ community being forced to change the name displayed on their Facebook profile. This includes a significant number of drag performers and members of the drag community. Facebook policy around names: Facebook is a community where people […]
