Under The Gaydar

February 28, 2018 By Tony Leggio

Ambush on the Road: Discovering Natchez I cannot believe that I have lived in the South all my life and never been to Natchez, Mississippi. It was one of the places on my bucket list and now that I have been there, I plan on traveling there much more. Less than three hours form NOLA, this picturesque city on the bluff just celebrated its tricentennial last year. I spent a … [Read more...] about Under The Gaydar

The Official Dish

February 28, 2018 By Frank Pizzolato

To all the Mardi Gras survivors and the few hangers on who haven’t found their way home YET…Happy Lent. How’s that penance and fasting working out for ya? For all the dire weather predictions, it turned out to be a great day. While the Quarter crowd was not as jammed as some years past, a good time was had by all. The spontaneous ballooning of crowds in the Bywater, Marigny and … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Ubuntu: Considering Our Humanity

February 28, 2018 By Allie Rowland

Ubuntu: Considering Our Humanity Most of the people I know have been watching the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang South Korea. The strength, grace, and endurance of the altheletes; and the perfection of the human form when the body has been sculpted and molded to the height of physical achievement…what was I saying? Oh, yes…the Olympics. There have been some glorious … [Read more...] about Ubuntu: Considering Our Humanity

Under the Gaydar

February 28, 2018 By Tony Leggio

Party Down This was another Mardi Gras for the memory book.  From the streets to the ballrooms, the city came alive with beads, boas and sequins.  It was a gay dream come true.  The week prior to Mardi Gras I spent either working or getting ready for the Krewe of Armeinius’ ball on Saturday night.  Many reasons made this year special starting with the fact that it was moved … [Read more...] about Under the Gaydar

20 Years of HIV/AIDS Headlines

Mulvhill, Kathleen A. “AIDS: Mystery Disorder” The … [Read more...] about 20 Years of HIV/AIDS Headlines

Republicans & Pedophilia

February 28, 2018 By Frank Perez

I have always been bamboozled by the fact that Southern voters consistently vote republican, against their own best interests. As a historian, I understand why the South turned red: white voters were pissed off when Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Johnson thought the Democrats had lost the South for a generation, but 53 years later, … [Read more...] about Republicans & Pedophilia

The Holiday Shopping Guide

February 28, 2018 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and a host of other buying opportunities abound at this time of the year. Then there are the charities. Tis the season for the big “ask” because tis the season AND its tax write off time. So, listen to those little bells in the malls and all of those free stamps and gifts that you get in the mail from us non-profits. Tis the Season! Then it is the … [Read more...] about The Holiday Shopping Guide

The Official Dish

February 28, 2018 By Frank Pizzolato

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I stayed in the City and cooked at home with good friends, too much food, too much wine, and way too much Bourbon Punch, but the 48-hour “food coma” that followed was almost worth it. Now, in rapid succession we move toward Christmas, New Years, Mardi Gras, and the beat goes on and on. Pace yourself, plan ahead, and enjoy every minute of the fun … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

The Inheritance of Shame by Peter Gajdics.

The Inheritance of Shame. Peter Gajdics. Brown Paper Press, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-941932-08-7. 355 pages. $17.99. Unfortunately, a book about surviving conversion therapy is still necessary. Author Peter Gajdics spent six years in a bizarre form of conversion therapy that attempted to “cure” him of his homosexuality. Kept with other patients in a cult-like home in British … [Read more...] about The Inheritance of Shame by Peter Gajdics.
