My partner and I are thinking of selling our home. Should we put it on the market now or wait until after the Holidays are over?
Well, you’re not giving me much to work with here. I wish I knew more about WHY you are thinking of selling your home? Are you itching to buy another and need to sell your’s first? Do you have to sell your home to bring in some $$$ or because you are relocating? Is the home just too big or too small or in an area you’re not fond of and wish a change?
Here’s the thing–in a “normal” marketplace, people will often me ask me “when is a good time to sell your home? Can we sell a home during the Winter or should we wait Continue Reading »
When you’re an actor, sometimes it’s hard to tell when you’re playing a role.
When Gabriel (Dom Deluise) casts Robin and Lacie to play lesbian lovers in his latest production, he unwittingly sets in motion a true life lesbian drama. Robin is in a lesbian marriage of six years, while Lacie prefers to play the field. But as rehearsals progress, the two women find themselves drawing closer and closer. At the same time, they each have nagging doubts as to whether their attraction is real or just acting. After the first night ’s successful performance, their emotional dams finally burst . . .
Twilight of the Golds, based on the (very brief Broadway play of the same name (The play and screenplay were written by (Jonathan Tolins), is an “issue” drama about Suzanne (Jennifer Beals), who learns that her unborn child will be gay. The film takes an intelligent approach to the “environment vs. heredity” debate. Something Ah believe we already know - being gay is as genetic as eye color!
The “problem” of being gay is sketchily addressed — it is even likened to a disease when Walter (Garry Marshall, his father, retorts that Fraser essentially is sick — but once viewers get over this hurdle, the film is
Wen Spencer has always given us great science fiction: compelling characters, interesting backgrounds, compelling stories. In the four books of her Ukiah, Oregon series - spanning just four months in the character’s life - she showed us a band of heros pitted against an evil alien empire bent on taking over Earth and wiping out all life as we know it, right under our noses today, unnoticed by the general population. Among her heros are gays, lesbians, Native
Ah thought Ah would love this Brit film called “Endgame”. It hayuz all the elements - “Official Selection” status from the Philly Gay & Lesbian Film Fest, a stunningly handsome boy, and the edgy darkness of a thriller.
“Endgame” stars Daniel Newman (oooo the English accent, the pouty lips, the body of Apollo! Ah’m in LOVE!) as Tom, a rent boy who is kept by the dashingly evil - and vile - George Norris (Mark McGann), a sado-masochistic gangster. Tom is kept in high style in a London flat filled with pop art and a bedroom set up, not only for sex, but also for blackmail with a hidden camera focused on the red silk bedsheets. Tom is being sucked down into a nasty scheme
Elvira Kurt’s comedy hits a nerve! Her universal themes of the absurdity of modern life, the fractured nostalgia of our childhood and our continuous struggle against turning into our parents create humor that the Hollywood Reporter calls “acerbically hilarious.”
Ah must first say that you MUST click the links and buy “Stonewall” title IMMEDIATELY. Not only is the film filled with Fabulousness - much like myself! - it is a dramatic and stirring tale about the most momentous moment (hmmm) in homosexual history!
Far from being a dry, fictionalized account of the people involved in the 1969 Stonewall Riots, this adaptation of Martin Duberman’s book is instead a rollicking musical drama that successfully blends gay history and queer fabulousness to wonderful effect.
Mah oh Mah. Ta’s been so busy spreading FABULOSITY ’round the world that when Ah finally had a moment to relax with mah mint julep and catch up on some movie watchin’ Ah didn’t realize Ah’d be in for such a hilarious treat!
Todd (played by Jonathan Bray), who is straight, ends up on a blind date with a gay man, Kelly (the stunningly handsome and oh-so-cute, Wilson Cruz) - the result of a practical joke played by his brother, Barry (Jonathan Silverman).
To Todd’s surprise, he and Kelly strike up a friendship. They decide to take revenge on Barry by reversing the joke. After their “date,” the

When this article first appeared, I was just a tad mournful that we couldn’t completely soak in the sheer delight of the Obama victory without paying attention to the reverberating shamefulness of the Prop 8 (Hate) Measure in California (also addressed in the Newsmatters posting of Nov 6th “A Sweet New Day”), as well as turn to a few other important elections not yet decided. At the time, Begich looked to be moving ahead of convicted felon Ted Stevens in the Alaska Senate race, and since then Begich has claimed the seat and Stevens conceded. (And we also witnessed the appalling Standing Ovation he received as he said his goodbye to his senatorial colleagues a couple of days ago.) We’ll have to await the labored recount in Minnesota Senate race to see if Norm Coleman continues to prevail with now, I believe, his 175 or so vote lead over Al Franken. But it was Jim Martin’s fight in Georgia that really prompted me to blog onward. I honestly don’t know that much about Jim Martin, though he appears a good man and had a long and not undistinguished record in the State congress I believe. In his run for Continue Reading »
