August 28, 2020 By Frank Perez

That question has generated a lot of discussion on several Southern Decadence Facebook … [Read more...] about Southern Decadence 2020 Update: The Southern Decadence That Wasn’t

That gay boy was me, and that man with the golden voice was Michael-Chase … [Read more...] about OUT! with Michael-Chase

Showgirls Nomi Malone Mercury and Sun in Leo

August 16, 2020 By Dan Beck

At some point, you’ve felt hesitant to express yourself. Self-expression can take the form of creativity, sexuality, romance, platonic love, or communication from the heart. The insecurities that prevent the aforementioned actions find their roots in a deeply primal place—the necessity to conform in order to survive, because if everyone did what they wanted, there would be … [Read more...] about Showgirls Nomi Malone Mercury and Sun in Leo

Guilty Pleasures August 11, 2020

August 14, 2020 By Tony Leggio

With the craziness of life in a pandemic, I have more time to evaluate the things that are important such as family, friends and lately the ability to embrace my guilty pleasures of which I have many.  I no longer hide behind the facade that I only watch high-brow entertainment as the news these days just makes my stomach churn.  If I’m going to watch violence, mayhem … [Read more...] about Guilty Pleasures August 11, 2020

Guilty Pleasures: Tony’s Top 5 Television Series over Quarantine

August 5, 2020 By Tony Leggio

Like many others, I have been laid off from my job in the hospitality industry and have had lots of time on my hands so my television viewing has increased immensely.  I have watched things that would have never been of interest to me if it wasn’t for the fact that we are living in the age of a pandemic and I am just bored and want something mindless.  So here are … [Read more...] about Guilty Pleasures: Tony’s Top 5 Television Series over Quarantine

The Forgotten Gay Riot Against the Police at Dixie’s

August 4, 2020 By Frank Perez

Back in January, I was contacted by a researcher, Lasse Lau, editor of Queer Geographies, who was conducting research on Dixie’s Bar of Music, the fabled gay bar that once occupied the corner of St. Peter and Bourbon Streets.  Lau asked me if I knew anything about the gay riot against the police that happened there in 1955.  I responded by asking “What riot?” While … [Read more...] about The Forgotten Gay Riot Against the Police at Dixie’s
