I've been looking forward to seeing the new film Precious for over a year now. It's adapted from one of my favorite novels, Push, by Sapphire, a woman who has a special place in my heart— she's a poet I published in 1989 in On Our Backs, one of those...

I saw the movie in a pre-release screening in New York City, as part of the New Yorker Festival. Both the Producer/Director Lee Daniels and Sapphire talked after the showing. This is a movie you really MUST see!

Thanks for posting this. This is also what Chester Mainard, dear teacher of anal massage from Body Electric, passed from. I was his full time caretaker for 9 months as he lived with glioblastoma, it was a wicked and mysterious disease.

I have lost people very close to me, both "too young to die" and way too old to live. I believe that extending human life is folly. Does it hurt? sure it hurts. Living a meaningful life for yourself and those around you is far more important than defeating death.

Susie...honest to G-d, I was just thinking of this quote of yours the other day, from The Realist (which you have listed in your quotes already). I've never forgotten it, probably because I could so identify: "Los Angeles: You used to be able to have a fat ass and wear a a string bikini and shades; you could walk down the Venice boardwalk with a joint in your mouth and fall in love. Now it’s an audition."

I can't be the only one to make the connection. For those of us who who are devoted to the American tele-novella Mad Men, the recent psycho-shooting at Ft. Hood had an eerie plot echo. (Spoilers ahead). In Mad Men, which takes place in New York of 1963, there's a...

Thank you so much... please share widely, since otherwise I don't have the circulation of a Maureen Dowd. I wish more people were talking about this kind of thing.

And Paula, I'm so sorry about your friend. Your sentiments are exactly what went into my story, too.

My favorite LGBT movie is BOUND. Because the filmmakers came to me and told me they were inspired by me to make it. Because they asked me to be their sex

It's a long struggle, and while we don't win every battle, we're making steady progress. Main legalized pot by 3-to-2, a serious margin.

Here's the story from the Maine daily paper... you might be interested in the comments for the local flavor. One interesting part to me was the comment that French-Canadians, who already have "equality in marriage" laws come to visit and work in Maine all t...he time-- family ties are strong as well-- and no one seems to notice that Quebec has been brought to its knees or faced God's wrath. In fact, gay Quebecois tourism is really big in Maine...Read More

The vote was a stinging setback for the national gay-rights movement. Maine voters also decided to expand the state’s 10-year-old medical marijuana law.

What makes a good rock photograph is something to ponder, and 'Who Shot Rock & Roll' at the Brooklyn Museum offers an excellent opportunity to do so.
