Smithsonian Magazine has an interesting article, “What it Took to Create the World’s First Gay Art Museum” that I would encourage anyone who finds this sort of thing interesting to read. For the rest of you, take note of this museum when you next visit NYC if you’ve never been before.
Nestled in SoHo is the world’s first gay art museum, The Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. In the past I’ve written about their exhibits, but this time I’m writing about news that the museum will soon double in size. The expansion of more than 3,000 square feet will allow the museum to host multiple exhibits at the same time.
Be proud of the contributions made by the LGBT community and in particular of their art which pushes the boundaries of sexuality. You can visit The Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in SoHo at 26 Wooster Street, NYC.
Christopher Columbus Park is showing movies for free on a large screen each Sunday starting at sunset from July 12 through August 16th. Order a pizza from Ernesto’s Pizzeria on Salem Street in the North End and walk over with it to enjoy a movie outside under the stars.

With summer movie blockbuster commercials now in heavy rotation during every television ad break, I thought I’d give a shout out to some gay themed movies that you may want to check out this summer. If any of these films catch your attention, contact your local indie theater to see if they plan on showing the film this summer.
Wild Horses opens June 5. Written and directed by Robert Duvall the film also stars James Franco and Josh Hartnett, and is about a 15-year-old missing-persons case with clues that point to a powerful rancher (played by Robert Duvall), who is grappling with the sudden return of his estranged son (played by James Franco), whom he threw out 15 years ago because he was gay.
Do I Sound Gay? is a documentary David Thorpe created that opens July 10th, which addresses how many gay men grapple with how they sound. Commenters include David Sedaris, George Takei, Margaret Cho and Tim Gunn.
Tom at the Farm (“Tom à la Ferme”) is a psychological thriller from Canada that comes to theaters in the US August 7th.
