Tonight is the last night to catch Silas Howard and Ernesto M. Foronda's Sunset Stories, an ensemble-character-driven one-night-in-L.A. romp in the vein of (NYC-) treks like Afterhours and Desperately Seeking Susan. The Gay Place says: Do not miss. Wed., Mar. 14, 9:30pm at the Canon Screening Room (badges, film passes, and tickets at the box office). Read More | Comment »

Welcome to the Clown Show

My socks were soaked through on the opening night of the SXSW Film Festival as I stood in line to see Cabin In the Woods premiere at the Paramount Theater.
But I left all of that to see Ryan Trecartin's film, Sibling Topics (section a) projected on a jury-rigged screen at Cheer Up Charlie's. Here's why this screening was the best opening night SXSW film. Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay: Feb. 28

The weather has been positively Spring-like, my dearies, and the news has been, too! Not only did an anti-gay Republican get outed as a man-loving super creep, but some Atlanta gaybashers and an Indiana transphobe got their comeuppance. Plus, lots of great news if you love gay marriage! Let the dishing begin! Read More | Comment »

Eastbound & Down: Mardi Party Links, Pt. 2

Here's Part 2, the wrap of our pre-Mardi Gras ramp up. Austin's Carnival culture seems a lot less active than in recent previous years, but there are plenty of day-trippable destinations if you still want to get in on the fun. Here are some links to NOLA walking (and less-mainstream) groups, as well as a few other Galveston and Lake Charles go-sees. Read More | Comment »

Music Mo'nday: The Curious Tale of Lana Del Rey

Imagine a world in which music is completely detached from any visual imagery. In this magical world, albums are sold in generic packaging, there are no music videos, and artists are never photographed. Music would solely be judged on what comes out of the speakers. Would David Bowie have the same impact? Madonna? Lana Del Rey? Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay: Feb. 14

The unicorn that brings me weekly news updates in a wicker basket has – instead of providing a fruit salad of LGBT odds and ends – brought me the five biggest fruits from the queer news orchard. There's some marriage mangos, some bitter anti-gay tomatoes in the Ugandan parliament, and a angry bowl of lemons that Ellen DeGeneres turned into delicious lemonade. Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay on a Wednesday: Feb. 1

Thank your lucky stars, young unicorns, because not only did Austin make the list of lesbianiest cities, but there's good same-sex marriage news, a push for trans-rights in the military, and a queer-friendly guide to this week's hyper-masculine celebration of heteronormative violence… (or for those who just really wanna see Madonna's half-time show).

Tuesday News Gay on a Wednesday: Jan. 18

Did you know a gay man beat out Michelle Bachmann for president in the New Hampshire primary? Oooh gurl! Where you been??! It also turns out that one of the most rabidly anti-gay candidates loves gays, as well as good gay rights news and a fabulous bitchfight brewing between Elton John and Madonna in this week's round-up of extra sparkly LGBT news!
