 Wow, another move to actually improve the lives of queer people by a President that has spewed mostly rhetoric so far. My faith is being restored! Today President Obama signed extension of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS bill.
The legislation provides care, treatment and support services to nearly half a million people, most of whom are low-income.
Obama also announced that the Department of Health and Human services has finally crafted a new regulation spelling the end to the HIV Travel and Immigration Ban. The regulation goes into effect in January.

Kristina Davies’ Moist Productions is starting a series featuring Team Dresch and Butchies superstar Kaia Wilson following her training for the Gay Games 2010 in Cologne, Germany. Can the rock star make the transition to ping pong master? Stay tuned…
 Some of my favorite comedic uber-gays have always been SNL‘s gay couple from New Jersey. Apparently, however, it was not a successful enough skit to make it to online video. But when Don’t Ask Don’t Tell so much in the news and even of the tip of President Obama’s tongue the dynamic duo have been brought back to Weekend Update with a gloriously military themed sketch.
It’s ok for me to make fun of Jersey, my family and I hail from there.

We all thought they blew up with the last album but yesterday’s release of “Music for Men” has really propelled The Gossip into the spotlight. I even heard them in a club in Mexico. And in case you missed it last night here they are performing “Heavy Cross” on Jimmy Kimmel.

 'Antarctica' Drool at 7pm starts out like any other unhappy-married-woman-discovers-her-lesbianism movie. This plot is so overdone even Oprah has real life version.
Luckily Drool has a bit of a twist. When Anora’s abusive husband discovers their secret all hell breaks loose and he ends up dead in a freak accident. So, the ladies pack up the car, the kids, and the body and hit the road. Drool claims to tackle the themes of racism, domestic abuse, sexism and homophobia with dark humor and wit.

 'Hannah Free' A May/December romance with Sharon Gless (Queer as Folk and Cagney and Lacey) and 36 hours with a mileu of gay men cannot do your Tuesday wrong at the Portland Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
At 7pm Hannah Free screens to what I can only assume will be quite an interesting audience. Set in a rural nursing home, religious homemaker Rachel is forbidden from seeing her much older lesbian lover, the rough and tumble Hannah Free (Gless).

 Local filmmaker Gus Van Sant will be feaured Oct. 30th I may be a few days late announcing October’s GLBT History Month, but a new website dedicated to showcasing our past features one of my absolute favorite historical figures today, Ruth Ellis, so I’m happy to highlight your gay Monday.

 'Hollywood je t'aime' PLGFF heads into the week with a triumphant weekend, if not in record attendance than at least in fun, quality films. The week looks a bit spottier, but I had my doubts before and I should not have, so make your Monday special.
It starts with a familiar new life tale in 7pm’s Out of the Blue about a middle-aged wife and mother who leaves her husband and finds herself in love with another woman. The high possibility of triteness may be overcome by the cute factor if you’re really feelin’ it. And it’s in French. Might be a decent lezzie date movie…

The very first order of business upon returning from Mexico late last night is most certainly tonight’s dueling Dirty Dancing flash mob celebrations at the two most infamous gay nights in town, Gaycation and Blow Pony. Holocene’s night will begin at midnight at Blow Po goes down at 1am. Below is an instructional video from Gaycay’s Mr. Charming and the always-performing Max Voltage. Watch and you’ll be ready to […]
Lady Gaga accept the award for Best New Artist from a befuddled looking Eminem
In case any of you missed last weekend’s Lady Gaga performance on MTV’s Video Music Awards, here’s a clip courtesy the music monolith. Gaga is bringing the world of weird, queer performance art to mainstream culture. And it is amazing my friends.
Lady Gaga – New Music – More Music […]
