Gay RPG Action! →
Being a huge fucking nerd, a gay nerd at that, I about exploded when I saw this. It made me want the game 29340123894 times more than I already did. Now if they would just add a lesbian sex scene….

A little behind, I know, but important. Just….don’t read the comments section unless you have a burning desire to scream at ignorance on your screen.

Gender Performers in Chicago!
If you are 21+ and interested in doing gender performance (Drag King, Drag Queen, High Femme, Switch, Burlesque, anything-else-you-can-think-of) in the Chicago-land area, check out Gender Bent Chicago on Facebook. It’s a new troupe in Chicago focused on gender performance. And even if you aren’t interested in performing, come out to a show sometime!

The Cycle
I have lost. I have lost my right to love To hold hands in the street Without glares To give a good bye kiss Without jeers I have lost family I have lost friends I have lost respect I have lost jobs I have lost my home I have lost more than you can ever replace
I am angry When I hear you blame me For the tragedies of this world When you call me a heathen and a sinner And aren’t any...

Family
The holidays go hand and hand with family. Stories, movies, television - they are all jammed packed this time of year with stories of happy families learning a valuable lesson during the holiday season. But it reminds me that many of my friends who are LGBTQ are unable to enjoy the holiday season with their family. Their families have rejected them - booted them out, and told them never to come...
Takarazuka Musical Revue
The Takarazuka Musical Revue is a Japanese all female musical theater. It is famous for having women in Breeches Roles - which means women playing men’s parts in stage productions. In other words - DRAG GALORE! :) Founded in 1913, all women were chosen to as a novelty, and to overcome the unacceptable nature of two unmarried opposite sex actors kissing - instead these scenes were implied in...
Tying the Knot
This weekend I watched “Tying the Knot” - a documentary made about gay marriage and released in 2004. It amazed me that even though this movie is only 5 years old, it is now incredibly dated in many respects. The issues raised regarding the legal rights and protections denied to those in same sex partnerships remain the same, and DOMA still exists - but the movement forward since then...
I'M BACK!

Secret:
I love asking straight women who they’d go gay for.
There’s always someone (and usually more than one!).

Run, Walk, Crawl?
Sometimes I get a little irked when I see such a rush for same-sex marriage rights. Sure, it is important. And yes, a lot of rights (and responsibilities) are tied to being able to have your committed relationship legally recognized. But, I feel we are trying to do things a little backward.
Two reasons for this.
First, not every state in the Union has protection set up for the GLB or T...
Jude Law Plays Transsexual Model →
Thoughts? Cheers for Eddie Izzard being in the film (at least he identifies as a transvestite) but are there no transsexual actors?! But at least it is a guy in drag, not a biogirl playing a transexual female. And I gotta give a nod to Jude Law for really jumping into the role.

Equality March and More
For those of you who don’t know, Equality Across America is holding a march on October 10th & 11th in Washington, DC for GLBTQ rights. Find more information here.
If you live in the Chicago-land area, a local march is occuring on October 11th in Daley Plaza. More info here and here. If you want to find an event in your area, I would suggest googling or facebooking your city or state...
Divide and Conquer
I often think about the veracity of the idea that movements for equal rights often fail due to dividing and subdividing. Or that the movement really only brings about the rights for a select few, in the end. That someone is always going to draw the short straw. Is it possible to be really all inclusive? Should we be? Where do we draw the boundaries of our community? Do we say, this is US and that...
