52 Weeks - Thanks To You!

James Duggan ©2008

 

Today's issue of QUEERtimes is our 52nd! That means we (all of us) are celebrating our one-year anniversary.

 

Frankly, it's hard for me to believe that one year has past since we-myself and Thom Cardwell--published the first issue of QUEERtimes.

 

Right from the start, we dedicated ourselves to producing a weekly e-newsletter to which you as readers have responded so well.

 

Much has happened in one year at QUEERtimes: three major political endorsements; over 6,500 local, national and international news stories; columns, photographers, community voices, guest cheers and jeers, anti-queer activist rants, culture, events, and much more.

 

In our first issue, we were proud to be the only queer publication or organization to endorse Michael Nutter for mayor in the primary race. While this upset some members of our community at the time, we stood firm in our convictions because we saw in him the opportunity to bring about a clear change in the way the City of Philadelphia had been governed.

 

When we took the lead and endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic Presidential nomination, we were ridiculed for doing it too early in the race and for betraying to queer community.  He now appears to be the presumptive nominee.

 

Early in the Pennsylvania Senate race, we stood firm in our belief that Larry Farnese was the best candidate to represent the 1st Senatorial District. We watched him upset the political punditry when he beat out John Dougherty to become the Democratic nominee and the presumptive winner for the general election.

 

In the past year, we have faithfully pointed out the double standard that we queers are forced to live under, from the lack of anti-discrimination and hate crimes protections to the anti-queer legislators, Republicans and Democrats, who seek to embed into the Pennsylvania State Constitution discrimination in preventing us from marrying those that we love.  For more than a few times, we have condemned the second class citizenship that many would like us to remain.

 

We pointed out the continued attacks from anti-queer forces at our community gatherings and how Philadelphia and its Police Department have actively facilitated this harassment.  We have also challenged our elected officials to stop telling us what they think we want to hear and showing up just during the election cycle.  Actions not words are needed from our elected officials.

 

We strive to bring you issues concerning our queer youth and other pressing matters that affect queer individuals and our community on the local, state, and national levels.

Thom's World
A Qt Exclusive
 

Whoever needs a good excuse to visit West Hollywood just got one! (Or as the locals and the queer in-crowd like to call it, WeHo, aka Boys' Town, and there's a genuine reason to see it that way, too.) But, wait, this time it's all about books!  The Lambda Literary Foundation, purveyors of all things LGBT literary, will be hosting the 20th Annual Lambda Literary Awards, beginning at 6 p.m., May 29, at West Hollywood's famed Silver Screen Theater, Pacific Design Center, 8687 Melrose Ave., in the heart of the queerest neighborhood in Los Angeles.

 

Presented by Lambda Literary Foundation's executive director Charles Flowers, this year's event will feature Michael Corbett as Master of Ceremonies with the who's who of the nation's current LGBT literary world as Award Guest Presenters, including Calpernia Addams, Denise Penn, Bernard Cooper, Felice Picano, Lillian Faderman, Anne Stockwell, Alice Y. Hom, Michelle Tea, Michael Nava, Linda Villarosa, Torie Osborn and Patricia Nell Warren. Special Guest Performances will be presented by the celeberated Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, Tim Miller, and the Gay Mafia, directed by Richard Hochberg and produced by Karen Ocamb.

 

The evening's event schedule will be: 6:00 p.m., Gala Buffet Reception, 7:30 p.m., Lambda Literary Foundation Awards Ceremony and 9:30 p.m., Dessert Reception. The one-of-a-kind national LGBT annual event is not to be missed, according to Flowers. "It's the one time each year that our LGBT voices gather together from all over the country to network, recognize and honor the best creative writers in our community from the publishing industry," he said.

 

Tickets are just $150 per person, with all proceeds from the event to benefit Lambda Literary Foundation, a non-profit national organization.

Capital Pride takes over Washington, D.C.


There's a definite reason why it's titled Capital Pride but the annual LGBT festival and parade, not to mention the untold parties hosted throughout Washington, D. C., over the period, June 6-15, attests to the fact that we're "queer and proud of it" in the nation's capital city. Marking its 33rd year, Capital Pride is celebrating DC Metro Area LGBT Community and its Friends and Allies with observance of this year's theme of "History. Vision. Legacy."

 

Revelers abound at the fourth largest gay and lesbian pride parade and festival in the country (estimated attendance of more than 200,000 people) is completely run by volunteers, funded by corporate and individual donations, and overseen by the Whitman-Walker Clinic. Beyond the receptions, special events and dance parties, the week-long calendar of events also focuses on educational, civic and social events for the entire queer community.

 

Highlights of the weekend includes a landmark parade on June 14 (excuse the expression, but it seems that all of Washington "comes out" on this weekend, populating both sides of the street, along the parade route) and the extensive festival on June 15 also features a pageant, drag contests, film screenings, panel discussions and a full range of parties. Organizers said that this year's pride events will be focusing on issues like same-sex marriage, hate crimes, HIV/AIDS, queer youth, women's issues and other health concerns, and serving openly in the military.

Boston likes to show its Pride


Well, it's not surprising that you have to make choices about what cities across the country you're going to celebrate pride (and party hard, too!) since there's only four weeks in the month of June.

 

This year, Boston Pride Week is the exact same dates as Washington, D.C., June 6-15. Their theme is "Sustaining our Community, Conversing our World." Their lineup includes Celebrity Marshal Leslie Jordan, Honorary Marshal Captain Ciara Durkin and Grand Marshal Tim McFeeley.

 

Jordan is an actor known for his memorable roles in everything from the celebrated queer feature films, "Sordid Lives," to his memorable role in the popular queer television sitcom, "Will & Grace." Durkin is a community activist from the US Army Reserve. Lawyer McFeeley is a political community activist who founded the Boston LG Political Alliance and Baystate Democrats.

 

During the week leading up to the annual pride parade and block party, there are a number of different types of events. The weekend is the finale of the pride events with the annual pride parade, at Copley Square at noon, and the annual pride festival, at Boston Common at noon, on June 14. 

 

The annual Boston Pride Block Party at Stuart St. between Arlington and Berkeley St., 2 to 9 p.m., and the crowds show up! The finale to everything pridewise is the annual pride closing party with Junior Vasquez, 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., on June 15. (Queer Bostonians can party like it's the last day on earth!)

Providence hosts PrideFest


Who could have predicted that the quieter (almost forgotten) City of Providence, Rhode Island, would have created such a non-stop party celebration for PrideFest 2008? "Many Faces, One Voice" is the theme of this year's pride celebrations at the second largest pride celebration in New England (after Boston), the festivities begin at noon with the RI PrideFest at Station Park at the State House, across from the Providence Place Mall.

 

The outdoor festival will feature live entertainment from recording artists, a LGBT marketplace, a business exposition, a beer and wine garden, an arts and crafts show and sale, a kids' pride zone and community organizations information booths.

 

Unique to Providence (or maybe most other points of the nation's map), organizers boasts hosting New England's only night time pride parade beginning at 8 p.m. on June 21 with headliner, 1980's Pop Diva, starring Tiffany, at the Bank of America City Center, Burnside Park, across from the Biltmore Hotel and Providence City Hall..

 

Rhode Island Visitors Packets are available for travel, lodging, sightseeing and admission to special pride events. All events are organized by the Diversity of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community of Rhode Island and Southern New England.
