I’ve been to hundreds of live shows ever since my rst one (John Denver in 1978) and most of them have been pretty stellar. I can, without a doubt, say most have been memorable experiences. And the ones I don’t remember, not so memorable, obviously. Tonight, I saw the incredibly talented (and gorgeous) Stephen Leonard at Rockit, and Monday it was Tony Award winner Levi Kreis with personal fave Eric Himan. Both shows were moving, fun, enlightening, and worth the tiny amount of money it took to go. But it sure seems that while all three artists were gay and gorgeous, my fellow audience members were decidedly hetero. Are the gays too Levi Kreis busy watching Modern Family or saving their pennies for the nal, nal Cher tour? Stephen Leonard Well, you’re big fools if you don’t get out and see some prime gay Chicago talent perform live. The beer is cheap and the boys are HOT. Whether you like the Bucktown hipster otters or just dumb/ cute/straight, all is good. And if you need some help or advice, Mama Moose is here for you. 1) If you’re going to see an act, read some reviews rst. There’s tons of great Chicago talent out there, but some bad. Google them or even trust our old senile friend, Myspace. And if all else fails, are they cute? 2) Shut the fuck up. You came to see a band. We all did. So let the guy/girl on stage do the chatting. And if you’re bored, go to the other room in the bar or go home. No one is loving you for ruining their experience. 3) Finally, know your place. If you’re tall, stay to the back or sit down. I’m a tall boy. Have been since rst grade. I’ve never wormed up to the front “because I just love Robyn and I totally want her to see me.” No. Stick toward the back. The twinks and small bears will love you more for it and you’re closer to the bar. So now you’ve got a start. If you’re not nding the right sensitive or scary boy at minibar this week, check out Schubas. He might be there rocking the annel... and waiting for you. 10 nightspots November 10, 2010 On the MOve for MOvember. 57' Photos by Kirk Raising money to save Howard Brown Health Center.

    ChicagoPride.com News April 24, 2014 Chicago is Dining Out for Life, April 24 By GoPride.com News Staff April 24, 2014 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/56145169 3,000 restaurants nationwide participating in Dining Out for Life CHICAGO, IL -- On Thursday, April 24, over 3,000 restaurants nationwide will be donating a portion of their proceeds to HIV/AIDS related organizations as part of Dining Out for Life. Dining Out for Life began in Philadelphia in 1991 and has since grown into an international event held in cities across North America, raising an average $4 million annually. Each restaurant donates a percentage of the day's food sales, which goes to local organizations to fund care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential HIV/AIDs services. In Chicago, EdgeAlliance's Dining Out for Life campaign celebrates 21 years of helping men, women and children impacted by HIV/AIDS by partnering with local restaurants. Participating restaurants around Chicago will donate a portion of their proceeds to EdgeAlliance, allowing its residents to sustain healthy lives through affordable housing and programming. In 2013, more than 8,000 diners and over 80 Chicago restaurants raised $115,000. This year, there are over 55 restaurants participating locally. "I've always been a big fan of the event, and before opening a restaurant, I've been a patron of the night," Taverna 750 owner Paul Cannella told ChicagoPride.com. "I'm a big fan of any fundraising activities that involve eating, drinking, spending time with friends, all while raising money for a great cause.

  • Aids Walk Philly & Aids Run Philly to Raise
    For Press Information ONLY: Cari Feiler Bender, Relief Communications, LLC 610-527-7673 or [email protected] AIDS WALK PHILLY & AIDS RUN PHILLY TO RAISE FUNDS, AWARENESS 25 th Annual Event Continues the Fight for HIV/AIDS in Philadelphia Region PHILADELPHIA – September 7, 2011 − For 25 years, AIDS Walk Philly has raised funds for HIV/AIDS service organizations in the Greater Philadelphia Region, and on Sunday, October 16, 2011, the 25th Annual AIDS Walk Philly & AIDS Run Philly presented by Merck continues the fight. One in five Americans infected with HIV don’t know it. Philadelphians can make a difference in the fight against HIV and AIDS by participating in AIDS Walk Philly, which will bring together nearly 15,000 people to raise money for HIV prevention education, public awareness, and HIV care services here in the Greater Philadelphia region. Walk and run beginning at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Run along the certified 5K route on Martin Luther King Drive at 8am. Walk along the 12K route, beginning along Kelly Drive at 9am and returning on Martin Luther King Drive. Right in our own backyard, thirty thousand of our friends, family, and neighbors live with HIV, a condition for which they are often judged and misunderstood. In 15 years, the rate of infection has not decreased. The 25 th Annual AIDS Walk Philly will also be a time to reflect over the past 25 years of the fundraising event as well as 30 years that the epidemic has existed. Robb Reichard, Executive Director of AIDS Fund , explains that part of the mission of the Walk is to give Philadelphians a better understanding of current HIV/AIDS facts.

    Terrorizing Gender: Transgender Visibility and the Surveillance Practices of the U.S. Security State A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Mia Louisa Fischer IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Mary Douglas Vavrus, Co-Adviser Dr. Jigna Desai, Co-Adviser June 2016 © Mia Louisa Fischer 2016 Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my family back home in Germany for their unconditional support of my academic endeavors. Thanks and love especially to my Mom who always encouraged me to be creative and queer – far before I knew what that really meant. If I have any talent for teaching it undoubtedly comes from seeing her as a passionate elementary school teacher growing up. I am very thankful that my 92-year-old grandma still gets to see her youngest grandchild graduate and finally get a “real job.” I know it’s taking a big worry off of her. There are already several medical doctors in the family, now you can add a Doctor of Philosophy to the list. I promise I will come home to visit again soon. Thanks also to my sister, Kim who has been there through the ups and downs, and made sure I stayed on track when things were falling apart. To my dad, thank you for encouraging me to follow my dreams even if I chased them some 3,000 miles across the ocean. To my Minneapolis ersatz family, the Kasellas – thank you for giving me a home away from home over the past five years.

  • Mondo Guerra Bio
    Mondo Guerra Bio Fashion designer Mondo Guerra won the hearts of judges, fellow contestants and viewers following the emotional disclosure of his HIV-positive status on Lifetime’s hit reality TV competition, Project Runway season 8. Mondo returned to the runway in 2012 on the debut season of Project Runway All Stars, where he emerged as the series’ first champion. And earlier this year, Mondo joined fashion guru and Emmy Award winner Tim Gunn as a mentor on the new show Project Runway: Under the Gunn. Mondo has been HIV-positive for over ten years and his courageous revelation on Project Runway has launched him into HIV awareness advocacy. He is currently collaborating with Merck on I Design, a national HIV education campaign aimed at helping to empower people with the disease to play an active role in designing their treatment plan with their doctors. Through I Design, Mondo shares his experience living with HIV and discusses the importance of people living with HIV to have an open and honest dialogue with their doctors to address important topics such as how they are feeling on their current therapies, other conditions they may have and other medications they are taking beyond their HIV therapy. In addition to his work with I Design, Mondo has designed an exclusive collection of frames and sunglasses for national optical boutique SEE Eyeware, with a portion of sales benefitting amFAR. He has also collaborated on a line of shoes with Crocs, Inc., a world leader in innovative casual footwear. Mondo also continues to develop his eponymous label, offering his designs exclusively on his website, mondoguerra.com.

SEE STORY PAGE 16 Dear friends and colleagues, This year is the 150th anniversary of the land-grant college system. In 1862, Congress passed a bill sponsored by Representative Justin Morrill of Vermont that established colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts and forever changed higher education and applied research in America. The original act creating the land-grant system of colleges, and the subsequent Morrill Act of 1890, provided each participating state 30,000 acres of land for each member of Congress. The proceeds were to be used for “the endowment, support, and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach Dean Frank Galey such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.” This charge remains unchanged today (US Code, Title 7, sect. 304).
