Equality Conference in Greensboro, NC

“GREENSBORO, N.C. - Almost 400 activists and advocates for the LGBT — Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender — community came out to UNCG for the third annual Equality Conference. LGBT issues have been a hot topic across the country and in the triad. The Equality Conference came to Greensboro to educate members of the LGBT community on issues that affect them, including gay marriage, parenting and discrimination…”

“I hope people are inspired to go home and have difficult conversations with people and really challenge them to think about the impact that discrimination has on lesbian and gay people in our state.” Palmquist said.

Queer Film at The Juggling Gypsy

Greetings, Queeros!  As some of you may know, the Juggling Gypsy holds the Subversive Film Series every Sunday night at 8pm.  It showcases all kinds of films, from narratives to documentaries, avant-garde classics to experimental A-lists to stand-up comedy, and everything in between.

This Sunday night, the 12th, they will be showing  “FABULOUS! The Story of Queer Cinema.”   It’s a chronological look at films by, for and about gays & lesbians in the United States, spanning from 1947 to 2005.  The film groups the pictures around various firsts, movements, and triumphs: experimental films, indie films, sex on screen, outlaw culture and bad guys, lesbian lovers, films about AIDS and dying, emergence of romantic comedy, transgender films, films about diversity and various other cultures, and then mainstream Hollywood drama.  It stars John Waters, Wilson Cruz, Gus Van Sant, Jane Lynch, Alan Cumming, John Cameron Mitchell, Heather Matarrazzo, Marlon Riggs, Ang Lee, and tons of others!

There will also be drink specials, so go check it out!

And if you’re interested, here’s the lineup for the next two weeks, and look for future lineups in Encore!
