and publisher of gay blog PageOneQ.com: "Pam is certainly the most important lesbian blogger
in America. She's a lesbian in a gay blogging world that is overwhelmingly gay men. She's a
blogger as a woman in an overwhelmingly male-dominated world and she's of color and the
internet is so skewed to the privileged." Mike Airhart of Ex Gay Watch says, "Thanks to efforts by
bloggers such as Spaulding, XGW can spend less time analyzing the religious right and more
time focusing on exgays."
Spaulding has provided commentary on CNN during the 2008 presidential election cycle, spoken
at national forums, and performed the first-ever live-blogging events for the Servicemembers
Legal Defense Network's annual dinner in May 2006 and the National Black Justice Coalition's
Second Annual Black Church Summit in March 2007.
Pam has landed exclusive interviews with the first openly gay man to run for the U.S. Senate, Jim
Neal, as well as the only out lesbian serving in Congress, Tammy Baldwin.
In 2006, Pam was the recipient of the Distinguished Achievement Award from The Monette-
Horwitz Trust for making significant contributions toward the eradication of homophobia.
Spaulding has a B.A. in Media Studies from Fordham University and in the non-virtual world,
serves as Information Technology Manager at Duke University Press. She is a board member of
The Institute of Southern Studies, which publishes the award-winning investigative journalism
publication Southern Exposure, and the blog Facing South. Pam is on the organization's Media
Advisory Group.
She lives Durham, NC with her wife Kate -- they legally married in Vancouver in 2004 -- and their
two dogs.
