Unfortunately, Ta simply doesn’t have enough money leftover after buyin’ wigs and shoes to afford pay cable like the LOGO channel … even when everyone’s all giggly over the irreverant new series, Rick & Steve. Luckily for me movies and TV shows get put onto DVD so soon after they’ve been released / aired that it’s not like missin’em at all!

Seein’ as how this series is animated, Ah invited some of mah little twinkie boiz over. Ah mean, how complex can a TV series be when its made with little animated Lego people?

Broadway Damage is coming out for a more sunny, cute-boys-in-love romanticism (Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss, I Think I Do) is this sugary, determinedly optimistic love story. An, kin Ta tell you that she just cried and cried … ruined my fabulous mascara an made mah dreamy eyes all puffy. ‘Where’s those damnable cucumber slices, boy?!?!?’ uhm, sorry. Despite mah tragedy, ah loved every minute of this movie with its joyful script and oh-so-fabulous Mara Hobel. Her outfits stole the show … the glasses, the gowns, the glamour!

At times funny, and occasionally charming in its innocence, the film can be a bit much for those jaded by relationships and toughened

Long before Ellen and Rosie, Suzanne Westenhoefer belonged to an elite club of funny ladies who dared to be gay out of the gate. Since 1990, the riotous, openly lesbian blonde comic has made audiences—on land and water—cry from laughing. And she’s never put her sexual orientation on the back burner for an audience’s comfort level.

Before she rose to her status as a recognizable comic darling for the gay and lesbian community, she tossed her spot-on ruminations of everyday life on to straight audiences. And she’s still around to tell about it!

Mandragora, a film directed by Wiktor Gorecki, is a sad, viscous, and heavy-handed film of familiar (if stereotypical) themes - prostitution, drugs, self-loathing and the saddest theme of all - gay people (in this case boys) are a miserable lot doomed to a life of misery and death. Now … Ta has been around the block a time or two and has managed to experience in one way or t’other these themes and has managed to still be extremely FABULOUS (Though, ah ayum not quite as fabulous as the wonderful Lady Bunny.)

Wiktor Gorecki condemns the lifestyle and wallows in obvious sexual fascination in this drama that recounts sixteen-year-old

Karen Williams is known as that thin Black lesbian stand-up comic with a lot to say and the gift for saying it in a screamingly funny way. Heads turn at her rapid-paced raps on single motherhood, dating, relationships, celibacy, AIDS, economic inequity, racism, codependency, and whatever topic strikes her fancy, or object from the audience catches her attention. Audiences marvel at her strong and thoughtful presence, her acute awareness, but it is her attitude — anger and angst masked behind diffidence — which brings her observations home.

Now, some might call me a whore, but I’ll kiss just about everyone!  Quit giggling.  What other expression can mean so much?  A hug?  Nah.  There’s only like 3 kinds of hugs.

First, there’s the “Buddy” hug the quick arm-wrap-and-squeeze thing that lasts just amoment ofr two.  The Buddy hug is usually accompanied by patting or pounding depending on whether you’re with a twink or a bear.  Sometimes, straight men will give their gay friends the one-armed version - Continue Reading »

This is a superb collection of short films and ah raise mah martini glass in salute! L’il ol’ Tallulah gits sooo bored with some of the anthologies of gay films out there but Boys to Men is an entertaining and sometimes sexy collection of gay male shorts that span the generations.

An outstanding quartet of films that begins with a gay coming of age, Crush (Phillip Bartell). Robbie (Brett Charles) is a gawky 16-year-old whose fondness for boy bands delights the 12-year-old Tina (Ema A. Tuennerman) until she learns just how much he likes them. Realizing that the only

Boidyke. Stem. Down low. Trannyboy. In this lively and broadly researched book, Cornell University psychologist Savin-Williams reveals that the words gay teenagers use to describe their sexual preferences have changed radically over the past 30 years, and so have their attitudes towards same-sex relationships. In fact, many of them are reluctant to define their sexuality at all. “In some respects,” Savin-Williams explains, “these teenagers might relate better to their pre-labeled, pre-identified grandparents than they do with their gay-liberated parents
