I found this article in the New York Times theatre section. It has little to do with theatre and more on the control men have over how women are depicted in the media. READ IT HERE! “What has largely disappeared from the media are distorted portrayals of women as frigid or uninterested in sex. What [...]

I love a good violence against women double entendre
Princess and the Frog

I saw The Princess and the Frog – and while a lot of the same trappings remain (the glorification of the father figure) - Disney did mix it up. 1. Tiana has a female friend who is not jealous of her. 2. Two men are seen cooking. 3. The father is dead instead of the [...]
Rihanna Gets Hard

Rihanna continues to promote her don’t-call-me-a-victim album. Sticking with her love of combing being scantily clad and violence, her new video for “Hard” keeps it rough and sexy. Watch her shoot a machine gun and straddle a tank – all while wearing tape over her nipples.

This is a rarity – but a major company has decided to include a gay couple in their national ad campaign. Not only is there two gay men, but they are kissing! The ad comes from Virgin Mobile Canada for its pre-paid mobile broadband Internet service, Broadband2Go. Unfortunately, along with the gay angel make out [...]
Gays Directing This Holiday Season

Out director/producer Lee Daniels, from Monster’s Ball fame, kills it with this film. Oprah-endorsed, a lesbian teacher, and a surprisingly strong performance from Mariah Carey makes this the best gay-friendly film I’ve seen all year. Directed by Rob Marshal — the former choreography, turned Tony nominee/Academy Award nominee/ Golden Globe nominee/Emmy winner– returns with Nine. [...]
Up in the Air About Up in the Air

Last night I watched Up in the Air. Before I go any further I just want to say I did not hate the movie, I did not find it offensive, and I am in no way outraged by it. For those of you who don’t know, Up in the Air is about a man, played [...]
