Last week, Hal geeked about words. Today, because I now feel free to express my geekiness, I will geek about acronyms. There’s even a chart.
The reason I’m thinking about acronyms right now is because of Law & Order SVU’s recent episode called “PC” featuring Kathy Griffin as a lesbian activist. You can read lots about [...]

“Seventy-nine percent of [US] Democrats said they support permitting gay men and lesbians to serve openly. Fewer Democrats however, just 43 percent, said they were in favor of allowing homosexuals to serve openly”. What does this mean for the rest of us?

BoLT Magazine is a new Irish magazine for Irish queer women, due for publication at the end of March, this year. Run by a team of eight, and helped along by a recent Christmas fundraiser at Dublin’s Outhouse, the magazine is an inclusive, interactive publication designed to give a voice to all women within Ireland’s LGBT community.

We got some good news here at Gaelick over the weekend: We have received mention four times in the Irish Blog Awards longlist of nominations!

It’s Valentine’s Day, named after the Christian saint. You know, Christians, who say that homosexuality is an unnatural abomination. So, here’s a list of God’s creatures in respect of which homosexual behaviour has been observed, both in the wild and in captivity. Hooray!

On Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the judge who will decide whether or not to uphold California’s Proposition 8 , which banned same-sex marriage, is gay.

Why did the Chronicle out Judge Walker? Why do we out anyone? And is it ok?

It’s that time of the year again, when most colleges go gay during their Rainbow Weeks or days. They serve to raise the visibility of LGBT students on college campuses, and thereby help LGBT students know that they’re not the “only gay in the village”. This is especially true for the smaller colleges throughout the country, where some students can genuinely feel that they are alone.

Good morning folks! Its around that time to have a gander around the news sites and see what gay and lesbian angles we can find. I was almost assaulted by the inkwell and quill during the weekend when I dared suggest that Jane Lynch getting married wasn’t exactly news-worthy.

This may not be as exciting as Sundays at Pantibar but there comes a time in a gay girl’s life when Sundays at Pantibar give way to Sundays in wellies, at least if you happen to live in the middle of nowhere, which I do. You don’t, however, have to live in the middle of [...]
