QUEERBYQUEERWHUT? The lead-up to South by Southwest, both at work and personally, has left us a bit parched for words. Not that there wasn't plenty of over-stimulation to sate and lubriKate at SXSW 2011. Oh no, quite the contrary: It's been positively cornucopian. We are simply overwhelmed ... exhausted, as we know so many of you all are, too. We are ready to move on. This year, new-to-town photog dude John Leach lent himself to our every whim and captured some serious SXSW gay flavor. Enjoy the pictures. We have precious little space in print, so the entire shebang may be seen in our online extras galleries, South by So Gay, South by So Gay 2 and GayBiGayGayDay, at austinchronicle.com/gay.
