The Mariners again insisted that the interaction between the couple was more than the "peck" that the couple and their friends described in initial reports. "[T]wo experienced staff members observed...

Summary: An usher at Safeco Field last week told Sirbrina Guerrero and her date that someone had complained that the two women were kissing. The usher told them to stop. Guerrero complained to Safeco's guest services and later told her story to KOMO4. "I was really just shocked," Guerrero told Associated Press. "Seattle is so...

We're always delighted to see (and to actually hear about) another gay group or business in Seattle making its way onto the web. CC Attle's is the latest to jump into this umm... what must seem to some, new-fangled technology. The bar's new website features a menu, events calendar, gallery, and map. But, of course, if you'd like a map that includes even more bars, we still suggest you head over to gaybars.ttca.org , where we (in our virtual, and always-plural, persona as TTCA's "webwrangler" ) do our best to keep up with the locations from our hermit's roost. ...
