That's bad news about TLA. If they don't survive the recession, there are very few sources to find queer cinema. Queer book stores, coffee bars and now TLA. We serioulsy need to support our businesses more.
@John Santos: Um, not that I want TLA to go out of business or anything, but a lot of the films it distributes are utter crap. I'll support good, innovative queer cinema, but if people want skin flicks they can just hop on the internet for a few minutes.
I'll support good, innovative queer cinema
Based on your precious definitions, no doubt. I prefer to support queer businesses, rather than bitch about them.
but if people want skin flicks they can just hop on the internet for a few minutes
I wish you had done just that, rather than post your reply. Clearly, you're in desperate need of some "alone" time to work that stick out of your ass.
Alan Duncan stole my thoughts.
Openly gay people in Zimbabwe are brave.
TLA is one of the best places for gay media.
NEPAL Born a girl, 17-year-old Bimala now goes by Suman and identifies as a boy. She's been in a civil union with her girlfriend for three years, and now they want to get married. Enter: Conflict.
If he identifies as a boy, why are you using "she?"
@Nicholas: Exactly. Queerty writers, we've been over this again and again on multiple articles. It's really, really easy. If someone identifies as a woman, use "she" and "her." If someone identifies as a man, use "he" and "him." Not rocket science, okay?
I get the feeling that Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker despise each other
