#LoveWins For All

After the US Supreme Court made their momentous decision back on June 26th 2015 ruling that same-sex marriage was legal in all 50 States, a talented young filmmaker called Yulin Kuang found her own way of expressing her joy.  Using Shakespeare's Sonnet 116  ...."let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments" .... as her inspiration, she set up to make a video showing 50 same-sex couples in 50 states to celebrate #LoveWins.  Released by Field Day, a YouTube Collective of dynamic filmmakers, it's guaranteed to have you reaching for your Kleenex.  This time however, it is for tears of joy.

If You Could Be Straight, Would You?

Jennifer Hudson : I Still Love You

We knew that there are several reasons why we loved Jennifer Hudson even before she won her Oscar for belting out that she was not going anywhere in 'Dreamgirls', and we are so glad that she has stuck around to make such beautiful music. Already  a campaign ambassador for the ‘Turn It Up For Change’ campaign which advocates for LGBT rights, earlier this summer she released a new video ‘I Still Love You!’ that was supported by the Human Rights Campaign. It features the story of a father and his gay son, and the formers last minute decision to go to the wedding, despite having not spoken to one another in a long time.   Get your tissues ready

Introducing Darlene Love

Quite why Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Honoree and singing legend Darlene Love would call her new album 'Introducing Darlene Love' is really not clear to us. However who really cares what the title is when it contains all new recordings and features never-before-heard and classic songs from a superstar cast of songwriters eager to showcase one of the most seminal voices in music history. 

Produced and arranged by artist/producer/E Street Band's Stevie Van Zandt, the first track released is Forbidden Nights written by Elvis Costello.

The album is released on 18th September BUT if you cannot wait until  then and want more of Miss Love, then watch 'Twenty Feet from Stardom' the award-winning documentary that charts her life and those of other 'back-up girls'  like her who were always making the headlining singer sound so good.

Never Leave Your Backdoor Unprotected

Stag Condoms is a new condom company that has been set up specifically to serve the LGBTQ community.  They claim that their products address our unique needs and lifestyles that traditional 'heteronormative' condom companies don't.  They may take making their condoms seriously, but when it comes to using them they want us to have as much fun as possible.

You can order them online and even have a regular subscription plan if you need that many! Stag say that you will not only be playing 'safe' but doing good too at the same time as they pledge to donate 5% of their proceeds to their AIDS Walk Fund. 

Their message is very loud and clear and one that queerguru is happy to endorse 'NEVER Leave Your Backdoor Unprotected.'

True Bromance

This stunning video directed by Bertil Nilsson of the experimental acrobatic company, Barely Methodical Troupe was first released in 2014 and remains a queerguru firm favorite.   It was filmed in the streets of London and is based on a live performance which won the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival. Nilsson created Bromance using the body and its movement as his sole method of communicating with his subjects.  He described it as The film explores the intimacy of physical interaction between guys. It’s based on them being friends, exploring the intimacy of physical interaction between guys; of their 'bromance. The concept of the film was to set something unusual in the real world, almost a documentary in the most abstract of senses.'

The dancers featured are Beren D'Amico, Charlie Wheeller and Louis Gift.

What's Underneath Daddy Dyke Lea DeLaria?

As part of StyleLikeU's 'What's Underneath Project' actor/comedian/singer Lea Delaria literally reveals all when she talks about being a butch dyke. Never ever having been in the closet, she spills the beans that being 'out' and upfront about her sexuality has not always been easy and she was once hospitalized for three days after being gay bashed in San Francisco in the 1980's.

DeLaria, always something of a pioneer and rebel went from appearing on The Arsenio Hall Show as the first openly gay comedian on national TV to eventually becoming the star of the Award winning 'Orange Is The New Black' (with a stint starring on Broadway in between). Still fiercely funny and outspoken this self-proclaimed 'bad-ass daddy dyke' is never one to mince words in her approach to gay activism or her act which often turn out to be the same thing.

In the video she is asked 'Why is in your body a good place to be?, to which she replies 'What's not to love?' We couldn't agree more even though she jokingly tore me to shreds very hilariously when I was once one of the few men in her audience one night in P.Town. We salute this self-described 'proud fat girl,' and long may she inspire us, and have us in stitches at the same time.

Will You Please Marry Me Billy Brooks?

Yet another reason why it was so crucial that same-sex marriage was  legalised is that as a community we can add a real sense of our own style to this centuries old institution. Right from the very beginning that starts with the Proposal we know how to stun our partners and ensure there are lots of cheers and tears as we prove to be so inventive on the different ways we pop the question.

The latest heartwarming and very public down-on-one-knee occasion was on the stage of Comic Con Fair in San Diego in front of 7000 people.  There was a panel discussion about the cult web series Con Man that had just been taken off the air prematurely. One of the show's makeup artists Barry Bishop was there with the cast, when he suddenly admitted that he has a surprise for his partner Billy Brooks, who had joined him on stage.

“They were asking the cast a minute ago who was the most amazing person in Hollywood you’ve worked with," he said as he held his partner's hand, "and I just want to say Billy Brooks I love you baby with all my heart and soul and will you please marry me?”

The whole crowd who had been cheering from the very first word, went wild and joined the cast in giving the couple an ecstatic standing ovation when Billy of course said 'Yes!'
