- In An Absolut World…
Having it’s ads appear in gay media since 1981, Absolut was one of the first consumer brands to openly embrace the gay community and view its members as important and desirable consumers of its product.
As much as I understand that aggressively advertising to trying to make a buck off of LGBT people celebrating pride [...]
- Stonewall 40th Anniversary
Since I’m not going to any Prides, I decided to get my education on. I watched the Before Stonewall and After Stonewall documentaries yesterday (find ‘em on Netflix), and I feel like a big dope for not realizing that June is Pride month because it commemorates the Stonewall riots (June 1969). Also since I’m not [...]
- Legalize Gay

- Homo Harlem Film Retrospective
via TransGriot
With arguments often eerily reminiscent of old rationales for black oppression, gays and lesbians remain openly, legally and even, ‘righteously’, discriminated against.
For LGBT people of all races, knowing ourselves, making our extraordinary history known to others, much as with blacks, becomes a key component to liberation. If LGBT heritage remains often obscured and belittled, achievements of African American lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people, are less well known still.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, the film festival, Homo-Harlem: A Film Retrospective, Friday, June 19th-Saturday, June 27th, cosponsored by the Maysles Cinema at 343 Malcolm X Boulevard with Men of All Colors Together, seeks to help to remedy this lack of recognition.
Through a series of coordinated screenings, critical discussions and walking tours, Homo-Harlem for the first time officially brings Stonewall observations uptown to focus on and honor, figures as diverse as poets Audre Lorde and Langston Hughes, social justice activist Bayard Rustin, composer Billy Strayhorn, photographer Marvin Smith and living legend Storme DeLarverie, whose courageous stand at the Stonewall Bar, 40 years ago, literally helped set in motion the entire Gay Pride Movement.
We LGBT people have always been busy making Harlem better, as one resident reported in 1928, “Never no wells of loneliness in Harlem…” Space is limited for this exhilarating experience, so be sure to make a reservation in advance and get ready to be enlightened, to be amazed and to party hard!

- Q: Gay vs Straight Clubs
Well since I can’t get to Houston Splash, or for that matter what I really think is a hot weekend Sweetheat, (one of these days dammit, lol) I’ve got questions for you all. I’m not much of a club person so I figured I’d get you all’s opinions.
Which one do you guys feel more comfortable [...]
