InsideOut - opens with A Kid Like Jake and a lady bear like Fay Slift DREW ROWSOME It appears that we can state, hesitantly rather than emphatically, that spring has arrived. For cinephiles, the new season teases the arrival of the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival run- ning Thursday, May 24 to Sunday, June 3. To whet appetites, the festival has announced the opening gala: the Sundance hit A Kid Like Jake. The comedy/drama headlines the thinking gay man’s sex symbol Jim Parsons, with Claire Danes playing his wife. The central dilemma revolves around their child, Jake played by Leo James Davis, who, due to his choices in fashion and playthings, may be trans. The central twist is that his gender choice may be exploitable in- stead of traumatic, the hook to getting him into an exclusive private school for gifted children. A film focussing on upper-middle class parents reacting to a trans child is suspicious, but the director Silas Howard is trans and has directed episodes of Transparent, so at the least we can expect a solid point of view amongst the pop- corn baiting. Of course the opening gala is followed by the Opening Gala Party, consistently a lavish and dramatic affair. This year there is the tantaliz- ing prospect of a summit of divas. A Kid Like Jake’s strong supporting cast - Amy Landecker, Priyanka Chopra and Ann Dowd - also includes the woman most advantageous to have your back when puzzling out sex with a fish or a trans dilemma, Octavia Spencer. Headlining the Opening Gala Party is Fay Slift who is reliably over-the-top fabulous. To be a fly on the wall if those two meet. Of course it is unpredictable as to which stars will show up for the festival and it would also be entertaining to see Slift over- whelm Parsons. The Opening Gala Party also features a silent auction, a performance by Champagna Ene- mea, DJ Relentless, and surprise acts. The films that fill the rest of the festival are still cloaked in mystery but will be revealed, along with the official program and schedule, at the Inside Out 2018 Launch Party on Friday, May 4. Also a glamorous and star-studded affair, the launch party is driven by the beats of DJs Ticky Ty and Yes Yes Y’All’s Sammy Rawal. Yes, it is definitely spring. A Kid Like Jake screens on Thurs, May 24 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, 350 King St W. The Opening Gala Party is on Thurs, May 24 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, 350 King St W. The Inside Out 2018 Launch Party is on Fri, May 4 at St. James Cathedral Centre, 65 Church St. page: 3 MyGayToronto.com - Issue #57 - MAY 15 - JUN 15, 2018. Connect, Transition & Archive: Pride Run Announces Beneficiaries RAYMOND HELKIO In 1996 three gay triathletes founded The Pride and Remembrance Run, an annual 5K fundraising run/ 3K walk coinciding with Toronto’s Pride Week. It was dedicated to partnering the themes of pride and remembrance with community celebration and personal achievement. This year the annual Pride & Remembrance Run (P&RR) proceeds will be split the between the P&RR Foundation between three charities, each doing pioneering work within our community. The beneficiaries this year are; Women’s College Hospital’s transition-related surgery fund which offsets the cost of transition-related surgeries, the Canadian Lesbian & Gay Archives digital hub project which will enable researchers across the globe to delve into the collections and the LGBT Youthline’s networking, skill-sharing, and collaborations portal for youth groups and youth leaders across Ontario. With over 1,600 participants, this event is the largest of its kind in Canada and one of Pride week’s largest fundraising. This year the Pride Run will take place on June 23 at 10 AM, but early birds who register before April 30th will save some cash. Pride & Remembrance Run 2018 Saturday June 23, 2018 10 A.M.

RAYMOND HELKIO Photo MICHAEL SHARKEY Like a slow pulsing alien making it’s way from the pit of your stomach to the inside of your head, transgressive queer singer and performer Christeene’s new album, Basura comes out May 22 and it’s as radical as it is sophisticated. Take for example the single “Butt Muscle, which is an 83 beats per minute rhythmic journey through the sexy, dirty and forbidden underground of the ego. Christeene describes the video as “sexualized sub sounds layered with heat sinking harmonies, surfing up a surreal soundscape.” After galvanizing audiences for years throughout Europe and the US, Christeene maintains her rusty, stained-pop aesthetic while tightening her grip and maturing musically. Expanding on the raw punk and electro influences of her debut album, the new tracks are more dense and personal, packed with fresh aggression, choral screams, live instruments, and a broad spectrum of styles/ genres melted down into one very unique creation. Basura employs a dizzy and diverse sonic palette of punk and funk soundscapes, processed vocals, and influences including Laurie Anderson, Trent Reznor, and Yaz. Christeene’s work strikes down heteronormative structures in the queer, artistic, and outsider communities with an aggressive push to preserve rituals and languag- es allowing the outcast and marginalized to gather, celebrate, and mobilize their voices, identities, and sexualities.

Pop Music: engaging with joy of music DREW ROWOME Derek Antonio has thrown the front doors of Pop Music wide open to let in the fresh air and breeze. He confides that this is what he has been waiting for, having the barriers between the street and the music banished for the summer. It is part of the store’s mandate. “We’re not showcasing things that are so cool,” says Antonio. “Our big focus is to have what people want.” Hence the word “pop” being the dominant half of the store’s moniker. During the time I spend in the store talking with Antonio, several potential customers stroll in. Antonio is not only the owner, manager and clerk, but he is also an encyclopedia of inventory. The obscure pressing a collector is looking for? Antonio can have it in three to four days. A punkette searching for a specific Clash t-shirt? That particular one is sold out but there is a slightly different version, in her size. In the sales rack. Asking about an Eurythmics reissue earns a complete rundown, from memory, of the upcoming slate and the exact date of the one being searched for. “It’s the advantage of being a one-man show,” he says. “I’m having a good time, it doesn’t feel like I’m working.” Antonio’s impressive knowledge, and extensive contacts, come from his former career as the general manager of the HMV Canadian Flagship Toronto Superstore. It has been accentuated by his current labours of love: Pop Music the store, and music in all its forms. He explains why he has chosen to focus on vinyl. “We live in a chaotic world,” he says. “People need to engage. Digital is very passive, you don’t listen to an album, you have a playlist. And even skip songs. A album is engaging, it is a work of art.” There is a huge difference between pushing “random select” and lowering a stylus onto a spinning piece of vinyl. It’s the difference between music as background or accompaniment, and poring over the gatefold artwork and lyrics while absorbing an artist’s creation. And of course sonically vinyl is infinitely superior, richer and warmer with depths that digital just hasn’t bothered to capture (and tragically those depths are often no longer even recorded, there is a difference between pop and disposable). There is a reason that downloads and digital music distribution are stagnant, while Antonio notes that sales of vinyl climbed 23 percent last year.

    GERONTOPHILIA Gerontophilia: (jə-rän-to-fil-e-ə)- - noun - the love or sexual preference for the elderly. Pier-Gabriel Lajoie Walter Borden Katie Boland Marie-Hélène Thibault FILMOPTION INTERNATIONAL presents a 1976 PRODUCTIONS / NEW REAL FILMS production GERONTOPHILIA A FILM BY BRUCE LABRUCE 82 minutes / Color / 2.35 / HD / 2013 SYNOPSIS 18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being over- medicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean Mr. Peabody off this medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond. The always provocative Bruce LaBruce is back with a new romantic comedy (of sorts). INTERVIEW WITH BRUCE LABRUCE How did you come to the idea of a romance between a young man and an elderly? Over the years I’ve encountered a number of young people with very specific fetishes involving relationships with much older people, and it’s always intrigued me. I’ve been told stories, most often by younger men, of their first sexual experience having been with a man in his sixties or older, and there always seemed to be a pedagogical aspect to the relationship, as well as a deep affection. Sometimes it’s a one time thing, but sometimes the fetish seems to persist. I also made a film, Hustler White, about male prostitutes and their relationships to their often much older johns.

MAY 29, 2014 BRUCITO SUBVERSIVO Photograph of Bruce LaBruce by Maxime Ballesteros http://logger.believermag.com/post/87209818064/brucito-subversivo Page 1 sur 20 The Believer Logger - Brucito Subversivo — Brucito Subversivo 20/07/2014 18:04 An Interview with Auteur of Pornology, Bruce LaBruce “Now raise your hand up out of the grave. That’s it. Raise it as a protest against all the injustices perpetrated against your kind. Raise it in solidarity with the weak and the lonely and the dispossessed of the earth, for the misfits and the sissies and the plague-ridden faggots who have been buried and forgotten by the heartless, merciless, hetero-fascist majority. Rise! Rise!” So declares Medea Yarn, the strident radical filmmaker in Bruce LaBruce’s film-within-a-film, Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008). A zombie-political-porno, which, like most of La Bruce’s work, arouses, amuses, and repels at once, Otto is an incisive critique of gay consumer culture, and its mindless assimilation of bourgeoisie values. The critique has remained fundamental to the director’s queercore aesthetic since the mid-1980s, when BLAB (the artist’s chosen acronym) developed his prescient queer punk zine, J.D.s (co-edited with G.B. Jones). http://logger.believermag.com/post/87209818064/brucito-subversivo Page 2 sur 20 The Believer Logger - Brucito Subversivo — Brucito Subversivo 20/07/2014 18:04 Not surprisingly, his first feature films, No Skin off My Ass (1993), Super 8½(1993), and Hustler White (1996), with their B-movie depictions of taboo desire, from a skinhead fetish to gang rape and amputee sex, cemented BLAB’s cult status as the reigning daddy of queercore film.

Upon discovering that the clients are being over-medicated to make them more manageable, Lake weans Mr. Peabody off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip that deepens their bond. The always-provocative Bruce LaBruce returns with a delicately perverse romantic comedy that is both darkly humorous and emotionally heartfelt.

It exists in softcore and hardcore versions. The hardcore version is called ’LA. Zombie Hardcore‘. As the credits roll, an alien zombie creature (international porn star and model Francois Sagat) emerges from the Pacific Ocean. After getting picked up in the mountains by a surfer in a truck, a severe accident occurs that results in the surfer lying dead in the middle of the road. The alien zombie fucks the dead man back to life. When the creature leaves the scene and enters the city, it becomes increasingly unclear whether he really is an alien zombie or a schizophrenic homeless person who is suffering from delusions. Like a kind of dark saviour, the alien zombie proceeds to find various dead men in the Greater Los Angeles area - a white collar criminal, a gangbanger, a homeless junkie, a group of drug- addicted porn stars - and fuck them back to life.
