The Oracle: Words Have Meaning

By Stampp Corbin

As someone who spends a substantial amount of time fighting for LGBT equality, I am often surprised at how little attention gets paid to word choice. Editors, bloggers, and the like, sometimes choose words that really grate on me. It is a concern because words have meaning. For example, the most insidious word that is... »

Quick Clicks: March

By Aaron Heier, Associate Editor

I’m a Pisces, so March is HUGE…especially since I’m turning 30-ish. On top of birthdays, this month we celebrate Women’s History, college basketball, the equinox, Easter bunnies, St. Paddy’s Day and my favorite, Awards.

By Cody Wilde

FEATURE: The Gospel According to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

By Aaron Heier, Associate Editor

If you have been out anywhere in Hillcrest in the last five years, you’ve seen them. Their striking white-face appearance, bold fashion sense and equally colorful entourage may raise an eyebrow or 10.

Two Cents: Action, Influence & Gloria

By Aaron Heier, Associate Editor

My second ‘Two Cents‘ event at the Center was a big hit. Guest Rick-y Walker - Ophelia Later – gave everyone, me included, an entirely new perspective on how one’s actions absolutely influence more action. Ophelia has been a well-known drag personality in the local community for almost two decades and when Ricky talked about how... »
