New Orleans Physician Educates Others Abroad about HIV

July 16, 2019 By Chenier Reynolds-Montz

Dr. MarkAlain Déry educates medical students in Albania on HIV and Hepatitis-C.

When the opportunity to educate medical students in Albania presented itself, Dr. MarkAlain Déry jumped at the opportunity.  “In Albania, there’s a big issue with HIV and Hepatitis-C, sex, drugs and LGBT issues,” explains Déry, DO, MPH, FACOI.  “These issues are glossed over and even ignored.”  Déry, a leading Infectious Disease Physician who works for Access Health Louisiana … [Read more...] about New Orleans Physician Educates Others Abroad about HIV

Funny, Not Funny

July 16, 2019 By Ryan Rockford

America’s Next Fag Superstar spills the tea on Boston’s Straight Pride. Have you heard the one about some elements in Boston throwing their own parade celebrating Straight Pride? Unfortunately, it’s no joke.  And instead of a punchline, the LGBTQ community gets a punch in the gut. In an act of outlandish absurdity the Boston “straight rights” advocacy group Super … [Read more...] about Funny, Not Funny

Start Planning Your Future Today… The Golden Girls Way

July 16, 2019 By Jim Meadows

Most people daydream about how much fun they will have when they first retire, but imagining what might come later? Not so much.  Let’s face it: the thought of eventually being in a nursing home isn’t exactly an exciting prospect. For LGBT people, the anxieties around that possibility are stronger than for most. It’s time we confront our fears head-on, and the first … [Read more...] about Start Planning Your Future Today… The Golden Girls Way

Affirm Yourself: Find Purpose, Go Forward

July 16, 2019 By Catherine Roland

Affirmation of self is something we may forget about sometimes, deny, or just not know how to do, because we’ve never felt self-affirming.  It strikes me that many in our community, spanning age and stage, are asking difficult questions about life, goals, expectations, with a healthy amount of trying to figure out a personal kind of existential angst. Younger members of … [Read more...] about Affirm Yourself: Find Purpose, Go Forward

She Loves Me at Tulane’s Dixon Hall I wish we had a different occupant in the White House. I wish Hurricane Barry had not caused all the ruckus he did. And I wish Tulane’s Summer Lyric Theatre’s (SLT) production of She Loves Me had a longer run as this delightful and utterly captivating musical, not seen here in more than a generation, lingered an extra day due to … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards July 16, 2019

United We Stand… In Leather

July 16, 2019 By Robert W Fieseler

New Orleans did it quietly this year. Proudly, reverently and in the rain. A few of us had wondered, as the June 24 anniversary approached, if there were going to be any observances of the historic Up Stairs Lounge fire. Those of us who’d helped plan last year’s 45th anniversary events – Frank Perez as liaison with the Historic New Orleans Collection and Reverend Cory Sparks … [Read more...] about United We Stand… In Leather
