Healing a Broken Heart

May 19, 2021 By Catherine Roland

This past week I was asked a question: “My heart feels broken. How can I heal it?”  It’s a difficult and multi-faceted question that I had to think about quite a bit. For purposes of this article, the concept of a broken heart shall be taken in a broad sense, one not necessarily having to do with primary love as in partner or spousal relationships.  An example … [Read more...] about Healing a Broken Heart

Queer Streets: LGBT+ Representation in New Orleans Street Names

April 26, 2021 By Frank Perez

The New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission (CCSRC) recently issued a report that identified 37 streets named after Confederate generals, politicians, and other sympathizers of “the Lost Cause” and included suggestions for renaming those streets.  Noticeably absent in the suggestions for renaming these streets is any LGBTQ+ representation. The exclusion is odd … [Read more...] about Queer Streets: LGBT+ Representation in New Orleans Street Names

Legislature Targets Trans Youth

April 19, 2021 By Frank Perez

The Louisiana legislature is back in session and has turned its horrifying attention to trans youth.  In its infinite ignorance, the legislature will consider four bills this session that would legally enshrine discrimination against trans youth.  The proposals are so draconian, they will certainly result in the death of more trans youth if passed. SB 104 would ban … [Read more...] about Legislature Targets Trans Youth

In New Orleans, Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

April 6, 2021 By Frank Perez

Pardon my French, but a lot of tour guides in New Orleans are full of shit.  Those guides have never taken my Professional Tour Guiding classes. If you’ve ever spent any time walking the French Quarter or sitting outside a bar there, you already know.  I hear it all the time when I’m sitting on my balcony.  It never ceases to amaze me to learn of all the … [Read more...] about In New Orleans, Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

Women’s History Month: Lesbians and Misogyny

March 26, 2021 By Frank Perez

In Louisiana in the 1970s, a number of organizations advocated on behalf of women’s issues.  Not the least of these were the Baton Rouge and New Orleans chapters of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the Louisiana Women’s Political Caucus (LWPC).  In New Orleans, many feminist activists were lesbians, which was not necessarily the case in other parts of the … [Read more...] about Women’s History Month: Lesbians and Misogyny

Matassa’s Close Call

March 5, 2021 By Frank Perez

The announcement on January 12 that Matassa’s would be closing sent a shock wave through the French Quarter. The place had been around for nearly 100 years, after all.  For a century, Matassa’s was an anchor in the lives of French Quarter residents, serving the two fundamental needs of Quarter Rats: cheap booze and food (usually in that order). But more than that, Matassa’s had … [Read more...] about Matassa’s Close Call
