SOUTHERN EXPOSURE: A COMING OUT STORYMark Mitchell talks about growing up gayPosted by Natalie Hope McDonald on 9/20/2011 at 10:27AM | No Comments
 Portrait of Mitchell as a young boy. C’mon—the jacket was a dead giveaway. “Mark, are you gay?” his mother asked hours before his father’s funeral. “I was basically dressing her for the ‘event,’ as we called it. I turned to my mother and asked, ‘Is that what you’re wearing?’” That was more than 25 years ago, when shy 16-year-old Mark Mitchell, a native of Memphis, was very much in the closet. He lied to his mother that day. But as fate would have it, the truth came out five years later. “I was standing on my front porch with my boyfriend at the time,” says Mitchell, “kissing. Much to my mother’s surprise, she opened the door. There was a loud gasp.” Flustered, he rushed into the house after her: “All she could say was, ‘All right, now are you gay?’ And of course my answer was, ‘Yes.’” |
Q&A: JOHN STANLEYThe radio host talks about XPN2, disco and his obsession with vinylPosted by Natalie Hope McDonald on 9/19/2011 at 10:07AM | No Comments
This week, we’ll be posting content from the new print issue of G Philly. This is the first in a series of exclusive interviews with local LGBT personalities. For more, please pick up the print edition at one of many local businesses throughout the region, or sign up for a free, limited-time subscription by clicking here. What’s your weekly radio show, Newner, all about?  John Stanley with his record collection (photograph by Ben Leuner) I have two shows now, every Thursday and Friday, noon to 1. I’ve never done radio before, but it was always something that I was interested in. I do an hour of new music or new bands that people may not have heard before. Who are you listening to now? One of my favorite local bands is Ports of Call. I’ve known these kids for a long time and watched their sound progress. The new stuff might be described as psychedelic pop. I’m also really digging the Horrors. You’ve been with your partner, DJ Robert Drake (of WXPN and the monthly “Sex Dwarf” party), for four years now. That must mean you guys have a lot of records? I have a little over 6,000 records and more than 10,000 CDs—actually a lot more, but it just freaks me out when I admit it. And way too many 45s to count. It increases by the week. Poor Robert! |
