Just a Just World

Equality Texas blogger, Lindsay Marsh, says it better than I could, and she speaks from her position as a Catholic and St. Ed's alum. Whoa.
 

News AggreGAYte for the Week of Aug. 23-27, 2010 

 Thu Aug 26, 6:07am
EDITOR'S NOTE: Over the next few weeks, we'll be unveiling a few new Gay Place features and bloggers. The first is from my new intern, Rob Cohen. He submitted this as a "try-out" news aggregate, and I thought it too sweeet to waste. Enjoy! And look for this and other new features coming soon! ~kxm

 Fri Aug 13, 8:51pm
I hope you'll be kind enough to forgive my recent silence on the subject of Outfest. I've been processing.

Calling All Remix Artists! 

 Wed Jul 21, 10:50pm
Are you a master of mashups? Can you whirl around music on your MacBook like a Pro? Does the electronica at most clubs seem puerile and basic?

Well then, I have a mission for you. Megan Phelps-Roper (scion of the Fred Phelps, head of the Westboro Baptist Church) released a cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone", and wouldn't you know it? It's delightfully hateful.


 

Outfest 2010: Adventures in Swag 

 Sat Jul 17, 6:33pm
If there’s anything that can make you feel more like Jethrine Bodine than staying at the Ramada in West Hollywood, I don’t know what it is.
 

Outfest 2010: Fourplay and Release 

 Fri Jul 16, 3:50pm
When super-friend and UT Film grad Kerthy Fix invited me to join her at Outfest, Los Angeles’ fine queer film extravaganza, for screenings of two of her docs, I naturally jumped at the chance. When I saw that the festival was premiering Kyle Henry’s Fourplay: San Francisco, things started to get ridiculously exciting.

Gayly Fourthward! 

 Thu Jul 1, 12:01am
Or as that line from The Boys in the Band goes, "Give me Librium or give me Meth!" We are conundrums, we gay Americans. And nothing like a national holiday to remind us of what we have and have not, when it comes to full citizenship and rights in this country we love so much.

BPness, Part 2: A (Long) Line (of Boom) in the Sand 

 Fri Jun 25, 5:40pm
An opportunity arose to go to New Orleans. But I couldn't shake a nagging feeling: It would seem irresponsible to be so close to the Gulf and to not at least try to learn firsthand about what's happening during this insane oil spill tragedy: Part two.

BPness: A Line in the Sand 

 Fri Jun 25, 1:11pm
An opportunity arose to drive a friend to New Orleans (and visit my kid working there with AmeriCorps) last weekend. But I couldn't shake a nagging feeling: It would seem odd to be so close to the Gulf of Mexico and to not at least try to learn firsthand about what's happening on the coast during this insane oil spill tragedy.
 

A Shot Across the Bow 

 Fri Jun 25, 11:24am
Let's put things into perspective.

Recently, Queer Austin went through a bit of a spat. You heard about it here - hopefully - and other places: QueerBomb vs. traditional Pride.

A similar trend emerged at the National Equality March: Grass roots organizations vs. the Human Rights Campaign.

But let's not forget who the real enemy is.

Grand Isle, LA, for years buoyed by the commercial fishing and oil industries finds itself between a fish and a slick place.
 

Changes to passports have a broader subtext for transgendered
Alison Bechdel

Rules to Watch Out For 

 Mon Jun 14, 12:34am
Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For presents an argument toward the end of the series' run: This generation's civil rights issue has and will continue to be the struggle for gay and lesbian equality.

The next generation's will be the civil rights struggle of the transgendered.

 

Long Live QueerBomb! 

 Wed Jun 9, 11:06pm
My favorite sign at last Friday's "QueerBomb," the alternative pride march, was: "STONEWALL WAS A RIOT, NOT A TRADE SHOW."
 

Not "Message Films" 

 Sat Jun 5, 2:52am
I remember watching Otto; or, Up With Dead People a couple years ago at aGLIFF (that's the Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival noob), and being enraptured. A Marxist-inflected queer zombie movie? I'm in! Luckily I'm not the only one. Scholar Curran Nault will be giving a talk on Bruce LaBruce at this year's Pride festival.
 

Sunday Funday! 

 Fri Jun 4, 2:29pm
What better way to nurse that QueerBomb of a hangover than a BYO-Noms picnic hosted by the lovely Kitty of Foodies fame?
 

This Week's Waste of Time 

 Fri Jun 4, 12:18pm
Can you feel the gay? It's all around you, just a bit more noticeable this weekend. You should get out and show your pride and/or support the pride of others. But, on the off chance you're quarantined this weekend, here's a browser quick game that's sure to bring out the gay in anyone.
 

OMGZ Sandra Tix! 

 Fri Jun 4, 11:54am
Click here to register to win tickets to Mz. Queer-Baaaaaaaabe's performance tonight! The only thing better than seeing Sandra Bernhard is seeing her for FUH-REE. Get on it, vomit.
