Today, I carted some boxes from my Grandma's to Lesbian Central so I can scan the photos and organize the lot of materials. She's fine, but I want to try and get her to identify some of the people in the snapshots before it is too late. Ledcat and I spent the afternoon cleaning our […]
Ledcat has been traveling this week, so tonight I'm frantically doing all the chores I promised would be completed for her return tomorrow. So I've got my brand new copy of “Pride & Prejudice” (BBC version of course) playing the DVD player while I dust and sweep and sort the accumulation of stuff that does […]
The CP sent Jared Trent Stonesifer to cover Pride. In this article, he discussed the evening block party (Pride in the Streets), the Awareness March, the Pride Theatrer Festival and the Warhol exhibit on queer black life in the 30's and 40's. Notice anything missing? Yep, he forgot to cover the actual festival (PrideFest). The […]
This past week, this photo appeared in the Post-Gazette commemorating the vote to keep same-sex marriage legal in Massachusetts. It is not available online, but Mozarti at PghGay.com found it (h/t). From well-known member of the LGBTQ community Barry Ralph comes this letter to the editor: As a gay senior citizen, I never thought […]
Well, it has been three days since I posted about MySpace and I've collected 14 friends and two comments. Being true to my word, I rejected the one person who I have never met. I'm not sure why she wanted to be my friend, but she handled the rejection very well. I also rejected someone […]
I am 36 years old and this morning, I had my first mammogram. I am one and one half years late in doing this. I needed to get a baseline at age 35 because of the history of cancer in my family. I procrastinated because it didn't seem urgent to me and because of how […]
OK, I have caved and set up a myspace profile. I know, I know … it was almost a year ago that I blogged about it being strictly for young people and “creepy” for those of us over 30. I believe I wrote this: And then there is this “friends” thing. Apparently, you connect your […]
Three years ago, the Post-Gazette's Ervin Dyer wrote a half page story on the growth of PrideFest. Two years ago, Caitlin Clearly wrote a short, vapid piece about gay flash. Last year, Anita Srikameswaran wrote a thoughtful story about Governor Rendell's participation in PrideFest and the issue of gay marriage. This year? PrideFest merits a […]
Quick post about 2007 PrideFest. Luke showed up. Point for him. Then during his speech, he said something to the effect that as a 27 year old mayor he, like gay people, understands what it is like not to be accepted. No exact quote because I almost choked and dropped my pen. I asked around and […]
This week, the man who is slowly creeping up the list of men the lesbians love (McIntire, Peduto, Dayvoe, Lamb and Norman) takes us down the rainbow brick road and shows us that things just might be a little better. Chris Potter of The City Paper writes … Pittsburgh will have a lot to celebrate […]
