The presidential race may be over, but New York City residents aren’t done with election season. As a matter of fact, the race for New York City Mayor is just getting underway. Although it is early in the race, GaySocialites.com is ready to endorse a candidate in the packed field of Democrats fighting to become Mayor.
March 2013 is going to be one “ridiculous” month for director Jonathan Warman. Ridiculous Theatre that is! First off Warman is to be reunited with the incomparable Everett Quinton, who will be playing the title role in a staged reading of Medea by Charles Ludlam that Warman is directing for the amazing Phoenix Theatre Ensemble, on Monday, March 18 at 8 pm. Everett (alternating with Black-Eyed Susan) created the role when he took over leadership of the Ridiculous Theatrical Company after Ludlam’s passing in 1987. Tickets available here.
Then Warman is going to fully stage – for one night only - Kitchenette by Ronald Tavel, one of the first “ridiculous theater” plays ever! Adapted from Tavel’s scenario for the Andy Warhol film “Kitchen”, Kitchenette hilariously spoofs the making of an avant-garde movie. Tickets available here.

A homophobic preacher didn’t the response he was likely expecting when a gay man stood up against him in an NYC subway car and received a round of applause by fellow strap hangers.
The man preached that “Michael Jackson died because he was gay” and tried to link homosexuality to pedophilia.
Then the gay man stood up to combat the homophobic preacher by saying, “I’m a man. And I’m a good man.” He added, “And I’m a gay man and Jesus loves me! Jesus loves me!”
