Local, State, and National Resources for Surviving COVID-19

March 24, 2020 By Jim Meadows

Access to helpful resources and accurate information is more important now than ever. There is a lot of misleading stuff about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) right now (especially on social media), and it can be difficult to find the resources you’re looking for during a crisis. When I began working on this guide, it was with LGBT older people foremast in mind. Since then, … [Read more...] about Local, State, and National Resources for Surviving COVID-19

The 2010s: A Decade in Review

January 14, 2020 By Jim Meadows

If you’re anything like me, it probably seems that the past decade went by fairly quickly. Wasn’t it only yesterday that we were ringing in 2010? (OK, honestly? I don’t remember much about that year at all. The year 2000 definitely made a deeper impression.) In any case, there have been some pretty monumental changes for the LGBT community in the last ten years. Here are just … [Read more...] about The 2010s: A Decade in Review

Making the Yuletide Gay: Fun Stuff To Do This Christmas

December 17, 2019 By Jim Meadows

Looking for stuff to do this holiday season? Loneliness is more viral than the flu during the holidays, and it can be a pretty tough time if you can’t be with the people you love. (OK, sometimes it can be pretty tough with them, too). I’ve combed through a mountain of upcoming local holiday events, however, and have found a pretty good variety of cool stuff to do from now … [Read more...] about Making the Yuletide Gay: Fun Stuff To Do This Christmas

The Best Christmas Albums of All Time

December 3, 2019 By Jim Meadows

OK, I admit it. I’m a sucker for Christmas music. I can’t stand those tacky Hallmark Channel made-for-TV Christmas movies they’ve been torturing us with since July, and I definitely disapprove of Yuletide decorations before December. But during the couple of weeks leading up to the main event, nothing gets me in the holiday spirit like Christmas music. Every year, we add at … [Read more...] about The Best Christmas Albums of All Time

Halloween Reading: LGBT-Related Horror Fiction

October 22, 2019 By Jim Meadows

It’s that time of year again: the temperatures have plunged into the bone-chilling 70s, pumpkin spice has been suffused through all known matter, and Halloween decorations have haunted shelves since August. All you need now is a good, scary book. Come along with me, and I’ll take you on a dark descent through the history of LGBT themes in horror fiction. Late Nineteenth … [Read more...] about Halloween Reading: LGBT-Related Horror Fiction

Angel on My Corner: An Interview with Author Kyle Scafide

October 8, 2019 By Jim Meadows

It’s probably not an exaggeration to say that Kyle Scafide is something of a Renaissance man. Among other endeavors, he’s worked as an educator, a realtor, a musician, and a publisher (for a number of years, he was the owner and editor-in-chief of the now defunct local LGBT-themed magazines, Impact and Eclipse). He also has a Master’s degree in theology from Notre Dame, and a … [Read more...] about Angel on My Corner: An Interview with Author Kyle Scafide

Voice of the Outsider: The Afterlife of Karen Carpenter

August 27, 2019 By Jim Meadows

The Carpenters Discography Cover

I recently spoke with Randy L. Schmidt, author, and editor of various books on popular 20th-century American singers. Little Girl Blue, his widely acclaimed biography of Karen Carpenter, was published in 2010. His new book, Carpenters: An Illustrated Discography Discography (192 pp., Mascot Books), features a team of authors, musicians, journalists, and others discussing the … [Read more...] about Voice of the Outsider: The Afterlife of Karen Carpenter

New Resource Guide for LGBT Older Adults in New Orleans

August 13, 2019 By Jim Meadows

It’s been a long time coming, but a new resource guide for LGBT older adults in New Orleans has just been published on the NOAGE website (www.noagenola.org/resource-guide). We will soon have printed copies available as well. As part of their service-learning requirements with the Tulane University Center for Public Service, students in Dr. Krystal Cleary’s class volunteered … [Read more...] about New Resource Guide for LGBT Older Adults in New Orleans

2019 New Orleans Pride Run & Walk Finisher Medal FB Share

This past week I met with Chloe Nicolosi and Casey Urschel to talk about the 2019 New Orleans Pride Run and Walk, which will be held on Saturday, August 31, in Crescent Park. Chloe is the New Orleans Track Club (NOTC) Executive Race Director, and Casey is the president of the NOTC Board of Directors. Last year was the first Pride Run in New Orleans, and also my first 5K.
