For the past 24 hours, I've mulled over the best approach to this post updating you about the discrimination experienced by Jessi Seams, a local transwoman, when she attempted to audition for a women's variety show. This week, the City Paper's feature article is thoughtful exploration of this specific incident in the context of larger debates over […]
Yesterday, I received 8 kajillion email messages informing me that public documents reveal that Secretary of State Rice has been co-owner of a house with documentary maker, Randy Bean (Rice and Bean — imagine the hay McIntire will make with that one?). Does this mean she's a lesbian? Maybe, maybe not — but it does […]
I didn't see it. We don't have cable here at Lesbian Central, so we miss out on all sorts of things like The L Word, Queer as Folk and, well, the entire lineupon LOGO. I've never seen The Sopranos or pretty much any of its peers. (Don't cry for us — we trade a cable […]
UPDATE: Upon the advice of my counsel, I have deleted references to minors that may or may not be affiliated with Mr. Edgar Snyder as well as comments about the parenting skills of adults that may or may not be the parents of said minors. My apologies for assuming that the behavior of children (older […]
I'm getting ready for my journey to NYC, so I'm going to throw out a few first impressions of the City Paper's cover story ananlyzing the election outcomes, the potential for the three new City Councilpeople-elect, and, of course, where blogs fit into it all. * Interesting that Patrick Dowd and Bruce Kraus were interviewed […]
I love letters to the editor, almost as much as I enjoy the comics. I truly admire folks who take the time to pen a letter, even when I do not admire their perspective or beliefs. From the perspective of a lesbian blogger, it is valuable for intolerant people to put their prejudice, bigotry and […]
Tonight, Lesley Stahl “sat down” with the three former Duke University lacrosse players who were not charged with the rape of a woman who had been hired as an exotic dancer by their team. Surely, you've heard of it. Two of the three men came across as having learned some painful lessons from the year […]
A few days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Peduto thanking me for attending a house meeting in my neighborhood. This is how he signed off: “Together we can move Pittsburgh forward. Together we can win. I look forward to working closely alongside you to help build a New Pittsburgh.” Today I received the […]
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 […]
Now that Main Stream Media (MSM) has sunk its teeth into this little tale of a man and his handcuffs, the gay drama just escalates. This is like Queer Eye meets Cops. WPXI airs previous interview where Ravenstahl plays word games to essentially deny being handcuffed. If he didn't actually lie about it, he omitted […]
