Shout out to Pittsburgh’s Newest Gay Blog

15 months after the launch of www.pghlesbian.com along comes www.pghgay.com, Pittsburgh's Gay Men's Blog.  Mozarti, a lifelong friend of mine (since second grade), takes his homo-thoughts in a whole different direction than us lesbo correspondents.  He covers everything from homophobia in the Catholic Church to homoerotic fixation with men's underwear.  We need to gayify the 'burghosphere a […]

Catchin’ Up with the Tribune Review on Homo Coverage

It has been a super-duper busy week for me at work and home so not much not time for blogging.  Here's a few interesting snippets The Tribune-Review's columnist Matt Sober dances with the homo issue once again as he tackles Ann Coulter — really, isn't she such an easy target after all?  Anyway, Sober has […]

Reg Henry Locked in Sordid Affair with Ann Coulter’s Male Alter-Ego?

Reg Henry Locked in Sordid Affair with Ann Coulter’s Male Alter-Ego?

OK, maybe it has just been a long day in the trenches.  Because I can't understand Reg Henry's latest column.  In what I think is meant to be irony, he positions her “babe” status against her man qualities — being a hateful jerk. I have a question. How is it that Ann Coulter is so […]

Reverend Janet Edwards Faces Second Round of Charges Over Lesbian Wedding

Reverend Edwards once again faces church court charges for performing a lesbian wedding. Previous charges were dropped due to technicalities, which some suspect was a convenient way for the Presbyterian Church to sidestep the larger issues around gay and lesbian members of the faith community.

The Trib – Joey Porter’s slurs offensive to some

Imagine if Joey Porter mated with Ann Coulter … they could spit out homobigot puppies left and right, well mostly just right.  I just had to chime in on this.  The Tribune Review printed a list of Joey's highs and lows during his Steeler tenure. I won't recant all the amazing athletic feats he accomplished […]

Buh Buh Joey Porter: Gay Bashing Steeler Cut Loose to Free Agency

Buh Buh Joey Porter:  Gay Bashing Steeler Cut Loose to Free Agency

Sometimes greed can be a dyke's best friend.  In this case, it means Joey Porter will take his trash-talking bigotry and hit the road for greener pastures.  I don't care if he made 879 tackles last year and was Most Valuable Stud three years running or even if he did single-handedly hold back the entire […]

More on Brent Dugan:  Clergy, KDKA meet to agree neither is homophobic

The City Paper covers the recent meeting of the minds of the Christian Associates of Southwestern Pennsylvania and KDKA head honchos in which they determined well, really not much of anything other than to mutually continue beating their own drums of “we did nothing wrong.” That's a complete load of hooey and Brent Dugan is […]
