Yesterday I bundled up and attended a rally for two women who self-described themselves as studs, and who were allegedly assaulted inside a South Side bar. The crowd that turned out was diverse, which is a good thing. I’m not naive to think that there still isn’t some separation between the black LGBT community and the white […]
Yesterday, we attended a rally to support survivors of an alleged assault that took place at a bar on Pittsburgh’s South Side. A small group of queer women reported that they were at Margaritaville, accosted by a group of six men and two of them were physically assaulted. Their crime? Being self-identified “studs” which they […]
Wow … such a busy day that I haven’t had time to post. Today, Ledcat and I went to the South Side to participate in the rally in response to recent incidents of violence against LGBTQ women at a local bar. More on that tomorrow. It is a great example of where you get energy […]
It’s hard for LGBTQ people to talk about religion, or even to interact with religion, because most of us have been victimized by religious zealots of one sort or another. Bigots have conveniently cherry-picked verses from holy books to tell us we’re abominations and deny us basic human dignity. As far as I’m concerned, if […]

So we planned ahead – tonight’s activities feature eating potato chips and watching Season Two of Downton Abbey on DVDs from Netflix. In bed … seriously, I’m not just saying that. 🙂 So a fun hashtag that […]
This is pretty amazing. It is so real and sincere and simple. He credits their love for each other for making him the man he is today. Faried is a forward with the Denver Nuggets. Colorado is in the middle of passing it’s civil unions legislation right now after tough loses the past few years. This is […]
Today Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense, announced that women were now going to be eligible (albeit gradually) for combat positions in the United States military. This opens a wider variety of positions that can offer women better wages, benefits and skills. This decision is monumental because women, in most instances, can now be treated as […]
I am grateful for heat. Have you ever lived without heat? Or been forced to keep it so low that you have to turn to other forms of warmth? My furnace died in the winter of 2004 while I had pneumonia. My cousin came to fix it – about 8 hours passed with no heat. […]
