Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 5, 2010 which will be the date of Pittsburgh's 5th Annual Dyke March. The location will still be in Oakland and organizers have fabulous plans for the ultimate grassroots picnic (get it?) and post-march party. What's is a dyke march?

It is the second thing people ask me after making the requisite joke about her hair/makeup. Frankly, I'm amazed (read: disappointed) at how catty us feminists can be when it comes to the appearances of women who are Republican. But I digress. I don't care if Jane Orie is a lesbian.

Anyway, this gem was printed a few days ago in defense of poor Catholic Charities, bemoaning the utter destruction […]
