SXSW Homo

Every year in the spring, thousands of internet and filmmaking rock stars (and rock-star-rock-stars) gather in Austin, Texas for South by Southwest, the interactive, film, and music conference that originally began as a music festival in the late 80s. Today it’s a big deal, bringing the biggest names in the industry together with everyday people in a mixing of the minds, a delicious burrito full of culture and fun.

Fun With FansAnd we’re in the thick of it. My gal pal Trish Bendix and I are moderating “Engaging The Queer Community” an in-depth discussion with Bil Browning and Sinclair Sexsmith on how to make your blogs, twitters, podcasts and youtube videos fabulous.

We’re sifting through the issues of blogging from a queer identity or perspective. How do you get people interested and chatting you up without turning them into an angry mob? What about being in the closet as a blogger? How do you keep your site from being banned when you write about all that hot dirty sex you’ve been having?

How is new media changing how we push politicians and society forward towards embracing our rights?

As a way to say thanks to all the fabulous people who live in Texas, we’re throwing a party on Sunday, March 14 at 9pm at Oil Can Harry’s -the- oldest gay bar with the cutest guys and gals.

Come meet me (Fausto Fernós), Marc Felion, Trish Bendix (After Ellen), Sinclair Sexsmith (Sugarbutch Chronicles), Bil Browning (Bilerico Project) and dozens of other fab internet rock stars knocking down the drinks and having a great time.

Bring a camera and your iPhone, these things usually get wild.

Writer Craig Seymour on his book "All I Could Bare"

Visiting a strip club when you first come out can be a very liberating experience as it validates your desire to look at other men. For Craig Seymour, he was so fascinated by his experience at the strip club, he did his college thesis on the subject of stripping and interviewed many male dancers and their clients. He eventually felt that if he was really going to know what it’s like to be one of them he’ll have to take it all off and work the pole.

The seedy clubs where Craig worked were famous for full-on nude men and he would spend hours working the crowd in his birthday suit to get just the right angle for his thesis. Now that’s research!

All I Could BareCraig put it all in his book “All I Could Bare: My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C” and he’s here today to talk about his experiences as a stripper, a professor and journalist.

Listen as Craig chats with us about the escalating costs of higher education, the changing face of LGBT journalism and why digital media is making it harder for conservative closeted politicians to lead double lives.

Plus-

His relationship with the conservative blogger Matt Drudge and why Matt wears those awful hats.

And how Luther Vandross almost came out to Craig during an interview but never quite got there

Today’s Least Surprising Headline – Sean Hayes is Gay

Just a shade over a decade since his initial portrayal of the outrageously gay icon Jack McFarland on NBC’s “Will & Grace,” actor Sean Hayes has finally decided to come out of the closet about his homosexuality. In an interview with The Advocate, Sean expressed a lot of resentment toward the gay community for pressuring him to come out earlier in his career saying, “What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It’s never enough.”

Look, I completely respect other people’s privacy, but once you’ve gotten the part and seven consecutive Emmy nominations and a win with your first nomination, you’re no longer auditioning. You’ve got the part. Time to be proud of who you are. And if you just so happen to be typecast… is that such an awful thing? Even if I were straight, I’d rather be the “go-to” person for playing gay than not have a fucking job… ya know, like 10% of America right now.

So the answer to the question of what more do I want, Sean, is that I want every gay kid growing up in the world right now to have a role-model to look up to. And what better role-model is there than a proud gay man playing a proud gay man on national television?

* Phil Reese Picture Illinois Discriminatory Anti-Gay, Anti-Jobs Bill Gone but Not Forgotten

Last week I told you about the urgent action needed to stop a bill seeking to water down Illinois’ potent gender identity and sexual orientation inclusive employment non-discrimination law. Republican gubernatorial front-runner, Bill Brady, had quietly introduced a bill to expand “religious exemptions” so much that the law would be nearly nullified. Bill Brady had been vehemently against the law when it was initially introduced, back when he was in the lower house. Now a Senator and GOP Governor hopeful, Brady was seeking to use transgender, gay, lesbian and bisexual folks in Illinois to court favor in rural areas, and shore up his conservative base.

Brady is a right wing nut job. He needn’t worry about his conservative base. I don’t use nut job loosely. Brady is currently campaigning on–among other things–a strong “reform” platform–specifically touting campaign finance reform and term limits. One of the longest serving lawmakers in the Assembly, Brady voted against campaign finance reform bills numerous times, and also voted against a term limits bill. I’m confused…
