Cincinnati Guerilla Queer Bar is no ordinary queer function. There are so many activist groups that work within the system - trying to change laws and policies, holding rallies and the like - but we rarely have massive, radical action. That is where CGQB comes in. I have never seen such a great, consistent turnout for a regularly scheduled queer event. So far there have been five CGQB events, all of which have seen a huge turnout from the queer community. These events have happened just... Read Full Story
Focus On All Families, a counter event to Citizens for Community Values’ annual fundraiser, was held at Xavier University’s campus on Tuesday, April 21. CCV is a conservative group that is opposed to everything from gay marriage to comprehensive sex education. Many organizations participated in the event, including Equality Ohio, The Gathering, PFLAG Cincinnati, MUSE women’s chorus, GLSEN, Xavier Alliance, Cincinnati Men’s Chorus, GenderBloc and UC’s LGBTQ coordinator.
The event featured... Read Full Story
The Cincinnati Enquirer ran a story this week about Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar, a grassroots effort to mix among straights in their house. The story went up on the web Monday night and it currently has 772 comments – that’s the most I have ever seen on an Enquirer story.
A lot of the comments are negative and are a lot like these ones:
“Do you think that gathering for one night at this particular place is really going to make a difference for your cause? Is there any difference... Read Full Story
This month’s Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar event took place at Million’s, sibling bar to Mount Lookout Tavern. Not unlike queerings past, men where not allowed to dance on the stage or poles, resulting in the use of force against a gay man.
Many men were asked to leave the stage and were pulled down by a bouncer. Some tried to resist, but it wasn’t until a pair refused to leave the stage that the situation began to escalate, as evidenced in the video below.
The man was escorted out of... Read Full Story
Avon has been on my shit list for a long time. It started when Mom bought this wicked pink paddle hairbrush from her Avon lady , for the sole purpose of smacking her precocious daughter's bum. Although I heard Mom tell Dad that the purchase (which I highly disapproved of, as I had overheard Mom sharing her diabolical plan with the sales lady ) was just to get this friend off her case, that item saw quite a bit of action—but never for the purpose the manufacturer intended. It was kept in a... Read Full Story
Love Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar? Well, your bimonthly dose has just decreased. The group has announced that while bars will continue to be queered on the first Friday of every month, spread the love events, where queers all go to an underutilized bar in the community, they will become “seasonal blow-out-queer-fest parties that are thrown at queer-owned/friendly establishments.”
The next CGQB event will be Oct. 2. Organizer Ethan Philbrick advised in a Facebook message: “It’s going to... Read Full Story
June’s Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar excursion went down at Cadillac Ranch, downtown across from the Contemporary Arts Center. (The exterior of the building housing Cadillac Ranch even has a large-scale installation complementing a former exhibit of the CAC.) The bar was huge with at least three different bars that I could see and a mechanical bull.
After this last CGQB, I wish every bar had a mechanical bull – I kept sneaking off from the dance floor to watch drunken fools fall off the... Read Full Story
Judging from this item's prominent Google ranking , many of you have probably already seen it. It is the age old story of girl tires of cheating boyfriend , so makes video to tell him what she thinks of him and his precious organ, and then plants a big smooch on her new girlfriend . The only twist is boy turns heartless rejection into a bit of homoerotica to share with his pals: Ok—its staged, but still cute. I don't know if any of my straight girlfriends and readers want to know the answer... Read Full Story
Since most beavers I know are clean shaven, and have a sense of humor, I was surprised FOX got so steamed about Danacia Patrick's Godaddy Super Bowl ad featuring the amphibious rodent: I suppose there must be those who like nothing better than swallowing a furball, but in this lesbian eat lesbian world a well groomed beaver is a must. But there is a true wildlife adventure here. Many believe that only in the wild does the busy beaver , like the bull dyke , reach its full potential. But for... Read Full Story
As if the world needed some more politically correct terminology, I hear some sappy sapphic Aussie Girls want the world to start referring to us carpet munchers as “gayelles.” My Gawd—it sounds like a miniature African antelope or another one of those incredibly bad trans dyke folk trios. If the term catches on it will mean the Gayelle Television Network in Trinidad will either have to do a name change or repackage themselves as the Grrl Logo of the Antilles. Or maybe the network can just... Read Full Story
