The work of East Village Photographer Peter Hujat is Recognized in a NY Exhibit

 

 

There is a new Exhibit of the work of PETER HUJAR a quintessential East Village photographer in the  1970’s and 1980’s whose stark black and white images beautifully captured a shifting generation who would soon be almost decimated by the AIDS pandemic, which would kill him too.

The show, Peter Hujar: Speed of Life, looks at the work the legend left behind, three decades after his death. It is composed of  140 photographs drawn from the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, the most comprehensive public collection of the artist’s work. Curated by Joel Smith, the exhibition adopts the traditional retrospective format while staying true to Hujar’s vision.

See what 3 lesbian BF’s get up too Down Under

 

There’s nothing better on a cold winter weekend is to stay inside with the heat turned up high and binge watch a whole LGBT Web Series.  We have just discovered a perfect candidate too in POT LUCK a deliciously funny dramedy about three lesbian best friends in Wellington New Zealand.

Since Debs (Anji Kreft) had her heart broken six years ago she has taken herself off the dating scene and been going through a self-imposed dry spell.   She is a wonderfully sweet shy butch and is very happy in her work as a security guard.  Mel (Nikki Si’ulepa)is her very dapper best mate even though they couldn’t be more opposite. She owns a bar, is extremely outgoing and has an insatiable appetite for young lesbians half her age.

The third member of the group is Beth (Tess Jamieson-Karaha – ‘Beth’) who is Mel’s ex-girlfriend and the serious one as she is a librarian and a carer for her elderly mother dealing with the early onslaught of dementia.

Every Tuesday evening the three women meet up for a Pot Luck supper, and after a lively discussion (!) one night they agree on a pact that contains a challenge for each of their different lifestyles.  Debs must find a girlfriend,  and Beth must ‘come out’ to her mother, and until they both have done that, then Mel must give up casual sex.

We’ve only just got through series one (out of two) so we cannot really tell you how it all resolves in the end, but witnessing the hilarious scenarios they land up in throughout their journey,  is nothing short than a sheer delight. Debs discovers whether she’s ready to get back out there,  Beth’s story sees her explore whether there’s more to life than always doing the right thing, and Mel starts to question her life choices and her relationship with Beth.

A witty script from writer/directorNess Simons, pitch-perfect performances, high production standards and a very relatable storyline that gay men will get a kick out of too.  We cannot wait to start watching series 2.

Women Leaders Launch ‘Time’s Up’ Campaign to Eradicate Abuse of Power

TIME’S UP, an unprecedented movement started by women in the entertainment industry, today announced the launch of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is one of a series of TIME’S UP’s ongoing commitments to combat the systemic power imbalances that have prohibited many women, especially women of color, from being safe and reaching their full potential in the workplace.

TIME’S UP is a central hub supporting a wide range of initiatives aimed at promoting equality and safety in the workplace. In addition to the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, TIME’S UP initiatives cover legislation, corporate policy, hiring practices and aggregating important resources. TIME’S UP is comprised of many working groups that focus on tackling these issues from various angles.

“Earning a living should not come at the cost of anyone’s safety, dignity or morale,” said Shonda Rhimes. “Every person should get to work in an environment free from abuse, assault and discrimination. It’s well past time to change the culture of the environment where most of us spend the majority of our day — the work place. 51% of our population is female, over 30% of our population is of color. Those are important, vital, economically powerfully voices that need to be heard at every level. TIME’S UP is working to make sure the people walking the corridors of power within the workplace and in politics truly reflect the full mix of America – the real America that looks like and includes all of us.  Look, this isn’t going to be easy but it is right.  And fighting for what is right can seem hard.  But letting what is wrong become normal is not easier — it is just more shameful.”

The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, spearheaded by Tina Tchen and Roberta Kaplan and top PR professionals, will help individuals who experience sexual misconduct including assault, abuse or harassment find legal representation. The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund will be housed at and administered by the National Women’s Law Center and participating attorneys will work with the Center’s Legal Network for Gender Equity to enable more individuals to come forward and secure legal assistance.

Prior to its formal launch, TIME’S UP has already raised more than thirteen million dollars from over 200 donors for The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, to help to defray costs for lawyers and communications professionals from across the country to provide assistance to those who experience sexual harassment. Founding donors include Katie McGrath & J.J. Abrams, Jennifer Aniston, Shonda Rhimes, Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg’s Wunderkinder Foundation, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), ICM Partners (ICM), Paradigm Talent Agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), and William Morris Endeavor (WME).  The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund will enable individuals to come forward without fear of legal, career or financial retaliation and work toward a culture free from sexual harassment.

“The magnitude of the past few months highlights the fact that sexual harassment against women in the workplace is endemic and touches every industry,” said Tina Tchen, attorney and co-founder of TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. “We are a community of women and men who can no longer stand idly by. This is the first of many concrete actions we will take. And we are thrilled to partner with Fatima Goss Graves and the National Women’s Law Center to assure the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund’s success.”

The launch of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is the second action this month from the TIME’S UP community. In mid-December, entertainment industry executives, independent experts and advisors came together to create the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace. Chaired by Anita Hill, the Commission will lead the entertainment industry toward alignment in achieving safer, fairer, more equitable and accountable workplaces—particularly for women and marginalized people.

“Receiving unanimous support from the entertainment industry’s leaders to form and fund the Commission is an important first step in tackling the broad culture of abuse and power disparity. We all know that safe and inclusive work environments result in stronger and more successful businesses,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “Our goal is to define a work environment where the basic principles of respect, human decency, and equality define the workplace everywhere.”

In addition to the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund and the Commission, TIME’S UP is also working closely with 5050by2020, believing a shift in power and leadership is imperative to make change. The group is advocating for a 50/50 model where women are equally represented at every level—especially in leadership positions and positions of power. 5050by2020 has already received commitments for gender parity by 2020 from leaders in the industry including Creative Artist Agency (CAA) and ICM Partners (ICM).

TIME’S UP has received the support and backing of numerous attorneys, activists, public relations professionals, companies, and celebrities, who all stand ready to help.

DVD Review: ‘Boys on Film 17 : Love Is A Drug’

Peccadillo Pictures a leading distributor of LGBT movies in the UK  have just issued no 17 in their excellent series of Boys on Film collections of short movies.  It is something that they really excel at, and in queerguru’s eyes these are by far the best anthologies of queer shorts that we have seen for years.

Under the banner Love Is A Drug, Peccadillo have curated nine new short films from around the globe that are aimed at making us laugh, provoking our consciences, testing our tolerances, educating, entertaining and especially  making us want to fall in love.

From the nine compelling movies, which are all totally different, we chose our three favorites that are so worth watching more than just  once.

ALEX AND THE HANDYMAN  from the US and directed by Nicholas Colia is a cute story of a rather precocious nine-year-old boy who is used to be indulged by his mother (Hogan Gorman) who spends most of her day drinking and on the phone.  Alex (Keaton Nigel Cooke) develops a crush on twenty-four-year old Jared (Aaron Luis Profumo) an out-of-work performance artist who has been employed as a handyman to do work around the house.  He will stop at nothing to get Jared’s attention, and even plies him with tequila from his mother’s hoard just to get his own way.

HOLE is an award-winning film from Canada directed by  Martin Edralin, and is a provocative tale of Billy (Ken Harrower) a disabled man who yearns for intimacy in a world that believes he has no right to make such demands. This shocking and moving story so perfectly addresses a subject that probably in all honestly so many of us would prefer to ignore.

SPOILERS is a charming film from the UK directed by Brendon McDonall about an accidental encounter on a plane when Felix (Tom Mumford) and Leon (James Peake) both claim the same suitcase. It turns out that they have a lot in common and decide to spend an impromptu day together. Both men are carrying baggage from their past relationships and so fear that although they seem perfect for each other it may still all end up getting hurt again.

The other movies are :

MR SUGAR DADDY  Dir. Dawid Ullgren (Sweden) 13 mins. TELLIN’ DAD   Dir. André D Chambers (UK) 15 mins.     BOYS  Dir. Eyal Resh (USA) 14 mins. HAPPY AND GAY  Dir. Lorelei Pepi (USA) 10 mins. PEDRO Dir.André Santos and Marco Leão(Portugal) 24 mins. KISS ME SOFTLY Dir. Anthony Schatteman (Belgium) 16 mins.

LOVE IS THE DRUG  is available on DVD in the UK , and on streaming globally from https://www.peccapics.com
