Celebrate Me Homo

If I Could Have Chosen …

Tommy Gabel of Against Me! is taking a courageous step in this Friday's issue of Rolling Stone by revealing plans to make the transition into life as a woman. In college, my first photo documentary was on a woman who had made the transition. Read More | Comment »

Family

Queerbomb. It was a glorious, uproarious, chorus of beautiful, creative, outspoken people. I felt as much at home in the crowd of LGBTQPIA as probably anywhere in town. Precious letters, every one. Family. Read More | Comment »

The Pee and the Fix

I stood in line for an hour to get in to see Pee Wee Herman, onscreen and in person. It was worth it! B'duh. But imagine my surprise when sitting next to me was noneother than Kerthy Fix… Read More | 1 Comment »

Gay Place Trips on the Road

We're on our last day of vacay, and already we've done so much! After hitchin' a vibra-ride on Dandy the Unicorn, Xmess and I arrived in Galveston where we saw the B-52's play at the Grand Opera House (much like our Paramount). We had fun, standing and dancing, though I don't know if the season ticket-holders behind us had any fun. But they should have stood up. Read More | Comment »

Blingee: Someone the Freaks Can Relate To

Listen: Podcasts keep me sane on the road. Gay Pimpin', Fresh Air, Savage Love and Studio 360. So imagine my surprise when the voice issuing forth from my little box-speakers was that of Justin Bond (he of Kiki, as in Kiki & Herb, Fame). He was talking about I Love Lucy... here's what he had to say... Read More | Comment »

Friday Blingee: Ask & Tell

Now that the Don't Ask Don't Tell order is in the process of being repealed (riot shields crossed) our military needs to do that thing you do when you've made a mistake… what is it called? Oh yah, apologize and make reparations. Read More | Comment »

Blingee Friday! Hyena Blingee

Ugh! I can not work on my dissertation any more today. It's eating me alive so I've been thinking a lot about Christian Holstad's Big Drag (2004). Not that a metallic purple hyena devouring a scraggly pink flamingo needs any help but… oh who are we kidding? Let's Blingee the shit outta this! Read More | Comment »

Blingee Friday! A Blingee With Balls

Blingees. What are they? Who makes them? Where do they come from?
Answers. Awesome, me, and Planet Unicorn (heeey). This week I've taken Deborah Kass's 2003 painting Cojones (a riff off of Jasper Johns' work) as a background and *cough cough* enhanced the message. Hope you likey. No homo. Read More | Comment »

My Name Is Frank J. Rivera, and I'm Here to Recruit You

Queerbots, LazorLezzies, Bilabials, QueerQuestioning, Tranz & our dear Straight Allies, let's all have a party this weekend for our buddy, Harvey Milk. You in? Good. I (and by I, I mean Equality Across America's Texas Chapter) have reserved a nice spot downtown. Read More | Comment »

Just a Li'l Tease, My Chickens

Oh babies, it was a year. A year for queer. We promise a full gallery and some video and all sorts of verbiage about how much we were enriched, enthralled, and enrobed by the last 12 days. Read More | Comment »

An Alien of Extraordinary Ability

By now everyone has seen (and blogged) about the latest Lady Gaga video which appropriates bits n' pieces from film history and lesbian pulp fiction. In the video there is an extended kiss between the Lady G and a butch-y female prison inmate - her name is Heather Cassils. Read More | Comment »

Goodbye Mystique

First, apologies all around for not posting a Drag Race recap last week - forgive, forgive! But this week was a good'un. It was all country, all the time! After playing a rousing game of "Chicken or WHAT?!?!" in which the ladies had to guess what they were eating, the queens broke into two teams… Read More | Comment »

Top/Vers/Bottom Ten (er... Nine)

Ok, so I'm late with my top ten list. Here's how I justify it: A#1) How can you talk about 2009 like it's over if you don't have some kind of critical distance from it, post-Dec. 31? B#2) I was too busy celebratin' and recoverin' and I didn't want to do any bloggin'. Read More | Comment »

Girl, What's That Smell? Oh... 2009

This list is varied. I wanted to include all the letters of GLBT. I also thought it important to focus on local, national, and international events. Sure, this is a list for The Austin Chronicle, but it's about the gay community. And, hon, we span borders. Hell, we break them. Read More | Comment »
