Getting in bed with books
Come on in the kitchen
Sizing up screens big and small
Get the wax out

Tim Miller Preaches to the Choir

Thu Feb 4, 11:56pm
I went to see Tim Miller's Lay of the Land at the Vortex on Sunday night. Since the late Eighties, Tim's work has represented the intersection of queer theatre and politics. For the religious fanatics who revile him, and for the artists and activists who revere him, he has been the quintessential queer performance artist for some 25 years. Tim is an icon.

Last night was the premiere of the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race – a cross between America's Next Top Model and Project Runway – a formula that targets to gays and 14 year old girls. There were nine of us packed in my tiny apartment living room, sharing wine, cookies, stories, and of course a love for reality drag competition.
Redefining Marriage

I’ve always found the gay marriage movement’s rhetoric – their claim that they’re not trying to "change the definition of marriage," they only want equal access to an institution that heterosexuals enjoy – to be disingenuous.

Now that the new issue of the Chronicle featuring Paul Soileau has hit Austin, the children are GAGGING in the streets. It's uh-maze-eeng. Want to see what everyone's talking about? You can.

I guess I'm old enough to find it amazing – breathtaking, really – that the differences between homo and hetero relationships are being discussed morning TV, with the assumption not that hetero is right and homo is wrong, but that they are just two types of relationships which in some ways may or may not be the same or different. Wow.

It is mind-boggling the knots people will tie themselves into in order not to face something staring them in the face. How long will it be until we grow out of the notion that anyone whose particular biology does not clearly put them in the category of "male" or "female" is a freak with a condition that must be corrected?
How to Keep Up With the Prop 8 Trial

If you're interested in the Perry V. Schwarzenegger case (and if you're not WHY AREN'T YOU?) there's one place to go to get a play by play of the trial: The Prop 8 Trial Tracker!

I'm sure you've heard the big stink about that cartoon in the student paper at Notre Dame last week. Really, really ugly – you've probably seen it; the queer blogosphere has been all over it, so I won't make you look at it again – but here's the story in case you missed it.
Tim Miller Has a 'Lay of the Land'
Andy Campbell
Tue Jan 26, 7:53am
As one of the infamous NEA 4, Tim Miller entered the queer (and non-queer) consciousness of the United States. Known for monologue-ish performance art pieces, Miller is always fresh, engaging, and politically savvy.

You Down With Granny P? Yeah You Know Me!

A third generation stripper Granny Panty is Austin's latest performance star. The interuptus stemming from Granny P "being a woman of a certain age" is a political body-positive hot poker in the face of anti-feminist and anti-female aesthetics. In a word, she rocks our little socks off, and now you can be a stripper too!

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'.

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.

I don't know about you, but this time of year gets me all nostalgic. Thinking about the good and the bad, the lovers and the lusted after, gets me all teary. Here are the things that got me heated, happy, sappy, and feeling crappy in 2009:

School's out, I've graded all my students' papers, and so naturally I am looking for ways to fill the void. For the past two years I've turned to YouTube to stave off sadness. This year is no different, and I have found the perfect rabbit hole to fall down. Ladies and Gentlemen, Rainbow Tales.

Beau Bridges was the guest star on last Monday's episode of TNT's The Closer, playing a transwoman named Georgette. He played one of the detective's former (male) partners (as in Starsky and Hutch not as in Bette and Tina). Following me so far? Good. The wrench is thrown when the LAPD must call Georgette, whom they think is still George, back to help on a case.

My interspecies dalliance has me all a-dither. And, yes, he was a he. I must re-think everything. I have so much to share about how, or more precisely, when to see Texas on the cheap. Now's the time to plan your trip gifts. The price is right. Watch this space and check for updates throughout the holidays. Come along and learn how you, too, may kiss a fish.
