I first learned about this story at Pridefest a few years ago.

Sure enough, she drove in the Pride March that year. Erin is […]
From Pam's House Blend, a guest post on the increasing presence of GetEqual in the LGBTQ advocacy/activist scene. Distraught by recent delays, LGBT activists turn to civil disobedience to encourage the passage of the Employment Non Discrimination and repeal of “Don't Ask Don't Tell”.

I have to give Ron Razete of Peace, Love and Little Donuts credit.

Imagine his horror when Ellen spoke about her plans to marry partner, Portia De Rossi. On television. In front of viewers. Gay stuff. Either Craig is the only person on […]
In the most recent GLCC newsletter, the organization announced that Celebrate the Night has become an official committee of the organization. Celebrate the Night is a variety show that benefits the GLCC. As you may recall, CTN generated a firestorm last year by refusing to audition a transwoman and pronouncing that she was not woman […]
Hey everybody! Something involving a c-file got all screwed up and our blog has been down for a few days. However, thanks to my trusty bloghost Geoff at Radio Left, things are shipshape again. Today's Post-Gazette included an AP story on the current gay storyline on soap opera, As The World Turns, featuring a young gay […]
In this week's City Paper, WTAE defends their coverage of a story involving the river rescue of a woman who happened to be trans.
