Transphobic? Dear Editor, Hey folks, I would appreciate no one use the term “transphobic” to describe the editorial folk at San Diego LGBT Weekly. They may disagree with you personally on what should or shouldn’t be acceptable commentary in the comment threads for my columns, but the publisher is giving a platform to folk who…

Nicolasaurous Dear Editor, Stampp’s standing up to Nicole is brave and badly needed. Nicole has stayed at the party way too long and it’s time to go. Have you ever zipped up too fast and gotten your nuts caught in the zipper? Well, that is what 40 plus years of Nicole feels like. Someday the…
Dear Editor, Again, just what we need, a Republican drag queen – who has crowned himself “the Mayor of Hillcrest [sic]” – giving us a GLOWING report of how he spent his Pride weekend cavorting with all the Republican candidates.

As always, we believe our readers will be able to discern the truth as San Diego LGBT…
I just don’t know what to say … more trouble at the Hillcrest Business Association (HBA). The new Executive Director Sonya Stauffer was terminated June 5. She is now pursuing action with the board of directors to determine whether Johnathan Hale had the authority to fire her. LGBT Weekly got a copy of Ms. Stauffer’s…
Letters In Response to Jess Durfee’s letter and Stampp Corbin’s editorial (LGBT Weekly March 27, issue 143) Dear Editor, Even gay and lesbian history repeats itself.
