 Philly Poet Laureate Sonia Sanchez is performing at the William Way Center's AIDS Quilt Songbook. Since its debut in 1992, at the Lincoln Center in New York, musician William Parker’s AIDS Quilt Songbook has gone through a variety of modifications —  much like the actual AIDS Memorial Quilt — and this weekend the William Way Community Center (WWCC) is sewing a few more patches into its evolving legacy. The WWCC remix (if you will), is being led by New York-based composer and pianist Gordon Beeferman, who has invited a handful of established New York and Philadelphia musicians and poets to perform, as he explains, “some older, some newer and some premiere songs.” READ MORE |

30 HOT GAY AND LESBIAN SEX SCENESDefinitely not safe for work.Posted by Josh Middleton on 4/2/2013 at 11:18AM | No Comments
 Ohad Knoller and Yehuda Levi make snow sex look steamy in Yossi & Jagger. A while back, I shared a list of 25 of the best gay sex scenes, but apparently that only scratched the warm, tender surface. Today, Out.com released a list of its 30 favorites, which even goes outside the gay-male spectrum to include a whole section of hot moments in lesbian cinema history, too, like Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly’s erotic moment in Bound, and the MTV Movie Award-winning smooch in Cruel Intentions between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair. I’m gayer than Liberace on a polar-bear-skin rug and that still gives me the tingles. READ MORE |
WHY JIM MCGREEVEY SHOULD BE THE POSTER CHILD FOR EASTER 2013The former NJ governor exemplifies the idea of second chances in the new HBO documentary Fall to Grace.Posted by Josh Middleton on 3/29/2013 at 11:06AM | No Comments
I nominate Jim McGreevy for Easter 2013′s poster child. The former governor of New Jersey, who resigned in 2004 after he admitted engaging in an “adult consensual affair with another man,” exemplifies redemption in a new documentary that turns the cameras on his new role as a spiritual advisor to women in prison.

MOVIES: THE BEST IN BLACK LGBTQ CINEMACelebrate Black History Month with these 16 films representing the black LGBTQ experience.Posted by Josh Middleton on 2/11/2013 at 4:05PM | No Comments
 In Dee Rees's Pariah, Adepero Oduye plays a Brooklyn teen struggling with her sexual identity. In the midst of Black History Month and with Oscar night just around the corner, Huff Post’s Gay Voices has put together a nice collection of the best in black LGBTQ cinema. Their selections are flanked by 1989′s Women of Brewster Place, the Oprah Winfrey-produced made-for-TV miniseries that follows a group of black women — two of which are lesbian — living in a rundown housing project, and Dee Rees’s powerful 2011 indie flick Pariah, which tells the story of a Brooklyn teenager who struggles to embrace her identity as a lesbian. You can check out trailers and scenes from all 16 films after the jump. What do you think about their selections? Did they leave off anything? READ MORE |
CUTE OVERLOAD: ZACHARY QUINTO AND PUPPIES IN ONE FILM!The gay American Horror Story star debuts a new short film about adopting his dog.Posted by Josh Middleton on 2/1/2013 at 10:13AM | 1 Comment
Released on the cute-animal-laden Petsami YouTube channel, Dog Eat Dog exaggeratedly chronicles the dark-browed star’s real-life attempts to adopt a pit bull named Rizzo— from the anxious, drawn-out waiting process to the … well, I don’t want to give away the ending, but let’s just say he faces some pretty stiff competition from a pitiful, walker-toting elderly chap played by Philip Baker Hall. Sharon Wilkins also stars as the sassy front-desk attendant at the adoption shelter and is directed by Sian Heder. Check out the video — which actually started as a Kickstarter project — HERE, but you might want to grab a box of tissues first. Oops! Did I just give away something?
