My highly confidential informant found the offending strip. It is called “The Meaning of Lila” and it is a silly little attempt to translate “Will and Grace” onto the funny pages. The challenges of extrapolating the gay guy/girlfriend routine are many and Lila makes the classic mistake of assuming she's “in” the group. Yes, Lila drops the […]
I caught this letter to the editor Thursday and have no idea which strip used the term “homo” recently. Anyone? I am writing to express my disgust that you would publish, in the comic section, a cartoon with well-known slur (homo: “Offensive slang for a gay or lesbian person,” American Heritage Dictionary) as part of […]
Update: The Pittsburgh City Paper's Melissa Meinzer and Chris Potter do a really good job with this story on the CP's website. Good example of how web based media serves the CP readership. And you. I contacted Shields' office and encountered a reluctance to work with a blogger which was disappointing as I worked very […]
I have to admit I was disappointed when Ledcat and I rolled out of Slapsticks last night, after catching their “Four Funny Females” show. It should rightfully have been called “Some Kinda Amusing Ladies, a Gal with Potential and Gab.” Harsh? Eh. Slapsticks is located on Library road just moments from the intersection with Saw […]
Mike Seate of the Tribune Review posits some new additions to Pittsburgh's lexicon. One of these is the term “gaybee” referring to children parented by gay people. Huh. Funny? I like this one: Recent Square: Person who moves from suburbs to Regent Square and immediately adopts the heavily pierced, thrift-store fashion sense of local hipsters. […]
Craig Galik of Duquesne is not pleased. Apparently, when he tunes in to the Ellen DeGeneres show, he doesn't expect to see any lesbian claptrap. 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 […]
You probably saw the giant face and know that we have a new dog. I've been blogging like mad about her over at http://pghmona.blogspot.com. But the LGBTQ worlds needs some attention, too. First up, the latest letter to the editor in the Post-Gazette. Jay Jarrell of McMurray drags out the arguments that marriage is about […]
Ana is here. Check out her first lesbian adventures at http://pghmona.blogspot.com/
So, we might be adopting a dog on Monday. Her name is Ana and she is a Chihuaha mix. She was rescued. She lives with big dogs and has lived with cats in the past. She weighs 9 lbs. Ana comes from Starfish to the Sea Animal Rescue. Ledcat has a rescue friend that is […]
The Correspondents love Gab. She's funny and smart and plays a mean game of Trouble. Anyhoo, Gab has gathered up the four funny women in Pittsburgh for what promises to be a very cool show on Saturday, May 31, 2008. This is my favorite kind of show. Women. Non-smoking. Saturday night. And $10 tickets. […]
