Mark your calendars, because one month from today on Friday, May 15th, the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) will host their annual Sip The Rainbow celebration at their building in Bay Village at 122 Arlington Street.

Jacques to ask Boston Licensing Board to change their liquor license
UniversalHub reported over the weekend that Jacques Cabaret in Bay Village will go before the Boston Licensing Board today to get permission to change their liquor licence, which currently requires that they serve food.
Yesterday, Jacques had to explain to the same board why the Boston Police caught them on March 2nd not offering food to customers. FYI – Jacques doesn’t even have a kitchen or food-preparation area, which begs the question, how did they get a liquor license that requires they serve food in the first place?
Jacques has a long, rocky history with neighbors who have complained about noise and loitering outside and nearby the cabaret. I hope that they can manage to get this licensing issue straightened out quickly. While I may not visit Jacques it is the only remaining drag bar in Boston, and I would hate to see them penalized or worse over this issue.

Obama recognizes LGBTQ advocates in Jamaica and then shoots rainbows from his hand
As with all two term Presidents here in the US, Barack Obama, continues to be an incredibly divisive figure. Some demonize him while others build him up. I fall into that second category. There are many reasons I view Obama fondly but perhaps none have been more influential than his decision to finally “come out” in support of LGBT rights. Obama took that message of acceptance and equality on the road this past week when he visited Jamaica. The Advocate has a great article Obama Isn’t Quiet About LGBT Rights, Even in Jamaica Trip.
One of my favorite blogs, OMG Blog, was one of many to share the funny photograph from Obama’s visit to Jamaica. I’ve posted the photo above, with the OMG Blog’s headline, Obama recognizes LGBTQ advocates in Jamaica and then shoots rainbows from his hand. Let’s hope Obama’s words will help reshape the dialog in Jamaica. I would some day like to visit that island but it is one of many destinations I will avoid both for personal safety reasons as well as to boycott because of how they treat their LGBTQ community.
Tom Goss acoustic cover of Can’t Hold Us
I’ve never met Tom Goss, but I’ve been smitten for quite a while. Every time I watch him in an interview or on Youtube I can’t help but smile. He seems like such a great guy. If you’re not familiar with Tom Goss, check out his acoustic cover of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song, Can’t Hold Us.
You can see Tom in person Bear Week in Ptown this summer when he performs at The Crown & Anchor on Wednesday, July 15, 2015. For more details about his show and to purchase tickets visit the event page at The Crown & Anchor, here.
