(MATT BAUME) Queer Icons Still Alive in 2017!

Seems like we lost a lot of queer icons recently -- but look at how many are still alive and still producing work! Whether they're queer themselves or just beloved by queers, we have more people to love, admire, look up to, and be inspired by than ever before.

Who are your favorite living queer icons? Let me know in the comments or at http://twitter.com/mattbaume

(MK SCOTT) MK chats with Big Joy directors, Eric Slade and Stephen Sila!

by MK Scott

When I saw the trailer for Big Joy; The James Broughton Story and was intrigued with the persona of the man, but what I learned was Broughton was a Queer Pioneer in the same league as Harry Hay (They had an affair back in the 30's) and was part of the Radical poet group, Pre-Beatnik (The Allen Ginsberg era) and an Avant Garde Filmmaker, Pre-Warhol.

During this year's SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival), I had a chance to chat with the Filmmaker of the fascinating Doc.
