Police Can Be So Adamant

July 2, 2019 By Frank Perez

Now that Pride month is over and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising has come and gone, the marking of this milestone year will now be written into the history books.  The most significant—perhaps “remarkable” is the better word—legacy of this year’s celebration is the official apology issued by the NYPD.  Commenting on the raid that helped spark the modern … [Read more...] about Police Can Be So Adamant

Trodding the Boards July 2, 2019

Paula Leffmann, Beth Harris and Rachel Swords in 1776 (photo by Kimberly Meng)

1776 at Playmakers Theater thru July 7 When 1776 opened on Broadway in 1969, it was a turbulent time.  Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy had been assassinated less than a year earlier.  The Vietnam War was raging.  Nixon had just been inaugurated that January.  A musical dramedy about the signing of the Declaration of Independence did … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards July 2, 2019

Acting Up in New Orleans

June 18, 2019 By Frank Perez

As the 50th anniversary of Stonewall approaches, my mind is not so much on the gay liberation movement of the 1970s, but rather on the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.  How did the disease affect the movement?  How might LGBT+ history have unfolded if there had been no epidemic?  And what was happening in New Orleans at the time? In some ways, AIDS had the … [Read more...] about Acting Up in New Orleans

Michael Tonello Is Bringing Home the Birkins and Respoke Espadrilles

June 18, 2019 By Kevin Assam

Michael Tonello is a former luxury leather liaison and Birkin aficionado. He authored the delightfully wicked and bestselling memoir Bringing Home the Birkin. After years of amassing high end scarves, he now repurposes their silk designs into comfortable footwear through his recently launched brand, Respoke.com, based in Provincetown. Let’s see if his cat approves.  Do … [Read more...] about Michael Tonello Is Bringing Home the Birkins and Respoke Espadrilles

Top Five Reasons You Should Join the NOAGE Walking Group

June 18, 2019 By Jim Meadows

Last September, New Orleans Advocates for GLBT Elders (NOAGE), in collaboration with Stonewall Sports New Orleans,launched a walking group. I’d been running with the Stonewall Prancers group each Monday, but I never could quite keep up with them. I got to thinking that a walking group for people who are new to fitness (or just trying to get back in shape) would be a great new … [Read more...] about Top Five Reasons You Should Join the NOAGE Walking Group

Gay Pride is celebrated throughout the world on different weekends during the month of June. World PRIDE, in New York City, will be celebrated June 26-30, and that should be a ball!  New Orleans PRIDE, which we celebrated June 7-9, was superb!

Ama-gay-us

June 18, 2019 By Robert W Fieseler

I grew up wanting to kill the thing inside me. Through religion, through self-brainwashing, through various substances and sexual encounters with young ladies my age, I devoted the bulk of my youth towards willing an act of self-conversion that would enable me to walk free of my secret burden: the fact that I yearned for and actively masturbated about other dudes. Looking at … [Read more...] about Ama-gay-us

Everybody’s Talking About Bianca

June 18, 2019 By Brian Sands

Roy Haylock in Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Surreal.  That’s how it felt sitting in one of the most historic West End theaters and watching New Orleans’ own Roy Haylock perform in a hit musical. And when he entered in drag and got huge applause from the adoring sold-out house--even more surreal. Anyone who remembers when Bianca Del Rio hosted Drag Bingo at Oz would probably feel the same way. It’s also a word … [Read more...] about Everybody’s Talking About Bianca
