You wanted to know what the challenges are for the gay and lesbian community. I wouldn't know as I'm not gay. I don't even care. I just want to know what's going on around town, especially with CIAA around the corner. Please stick to the subject matter, and mention gay people only in the context of publicizing parties that may interest them...after all, this is a party column, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-16134874187264874872007-02-17T05:12:00.000-05:002007-02-17T05:12:00.000-05:00It's good to see someone finally explained what a ...It's good to see someone finally explained what a 'baby butch' was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-82665471860411943252007-02-17T05:11:00.000-05:002007-02-17T05:11:00.000-05:00It's good to see that we finally figured out what ...It's good to see that we finally figured out what a 'baby butch' was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-50136022895147495732007-02-16T11:57:00.000-05:002007-02-16T11:57:00.000-05:00I thought Dwayne Wayne was serious...then I read t...I thought Dwayne Wayne was serious...then I read the second sentence and almost fell out of my chair...wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-56743439544511784162007-02-16T10:33:00.000-05:002007-02-16T10:33:00.000-05:00Tonya uses descriptions that are degrating to her ...Tonya uses descriptions that are degrating to her own kind. SHAME! <BR/><BR/>Overall, I like most of her Paid to Party items, but this seems to not really be a Paid to Party item. <BR/><BR/>Overall, the gay community in Charlotte is booming, just like everything else. Things will come in time just as things should. <BR/><BR/>Please stop embarrasing us gays with your militant style slanted articles Tonya!

(At least, I hope that’s the overall goal of the meeting.)<BR/><BR/>Where??? Is this meeting open to the public or is it by invite only??? To the person that believes that we are only a miniscule portion of the population, there are more of us than you realize! The Charlotte region's overall gay and lesbian population (not just African-American) is huge, yet politically inept. Maybe this too will change!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-65929823026619080132007-02-15T15:49:00.000-05:002007-02-15T15:49:00.000-05:00Could you please give your loyal readers some idea...Could you please give your loyal readers some idea of what a "baby butch" is?

I think the "Paid to Party" column should be strictly about informing people about what's going on (or not) in the social scene and reviewing new bars, clubs, etc. You're great, but I do think social issues should be in one column and things about partying should be in the other. Just a suggestion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556548.post-65764478183861671762007-02-15T13:40:00.000-05:002007-02-15T13:40:00.000-05:00Talk about having an "agenda."

Other columnists in this (and every other mainstream paper in the universe) write articles and other pieces that at least pretend to be slightly universally applicable. This particular space is incredibly one-sided, and devotes page after page and word after word to issues and events that are of interest to only the most miniscule portion of the city's population. It takes ridiculous, unsubstantiated jabs at things different (even going so far as to lambast the Gay and Lesbian center thing for not reaching out to people that aren't "middle class and white.")The things written and posted here are completely ludicrous. (I wonder if Tonya would have a problem with people typing furiously on their handheld/laptop devices during the "no talking" poetry sessions that she proposed!-If you'll recall the series of posts last year where she viruently attacked the ushers at the Blumenthal who asked her (how DARE they!) to stop annoying the other patrons that had come to hear the lecture!)<BR/>But I digress, and how about the use again of the term "baby butches" for the second time in nearly as many weeks. What does that even mean?!? <BR/>This column/blog/whatever has no place in a respectable newspaper. I doubt that even Creative Loafing would find its one sided/narrow minded approach to reporting appropriate fare. <BR/>Please stick to being "Paid to Party" and keep your ludicrous opinions and views to yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
