Tonight the first-ever virtual Art Heals Festival kicks off with the mission to advocate and raise awareness about HIV and mental health stigma.

Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of bad news, especially when it means your life’s work may very well be in peril. But for documentary filmmakers, surprising conflict is golden.

The All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival (aGLIFF) may have had to go online for 2020, but the selection for this year's virtual fest is still worthy of the big screen, with the announcement that new documentary The Capone Tapes is this year's opening night film.

Sad but not unsurprising news hit Monday night as Austin Pride’s board announced via Instagram that this year’s 30th Pride celebrations – planned previously for Aug. 15 – will be postponed until August 2021.

Queer cinema enters the virtual zone, as the organizers of All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival (aGLIFF) announced today they will be bringing their programming online and on demand for two weekends this coming August. Before that, they're offering a teaser of free features and shorts as Prism Pride Weekend.

People sometimes say rude, incorrect stuff about the queer community. In fact, people say enough recycled crummy junk about the Els, the Bees, the Teas, the Gees, and all those beautiful Queue Pluses that getting an original insult leaves quite the impression.

The wave of Pride celebrations around the world canceling or rescheduling amid COVID-19 concerns has sadly (and perhaps inevitably) reached Austin.

In the Eighties, Natalia “Tish” Gervais was a prominent fixture in New York City’s underground nightclub scene. A trans woman, she performed across Manhattan's cabarets and glossed the pages of NYC gossip rags. Toward the decade's end, Tish decided to retransition and live once again as Brian Belovitch.

What a weekend to be queer in Austin. Seriously, if you haven’t looked at this week’s lineup, IDK what you’re waiting for. But one event – returning for its fourth year on Saturday – has us feeling all kinds of ooey gooey inside.
