A celebration of censorship is an exhibit at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York City that runs through Sunday, May 3rd.
Has anyone seen the exhibit which opened last month? I’m curious because the description sounds interesting. The Leslie-Lohman Museum describes the exhibit as follows, “For decades, censors—would-be and actual—have attempted to suppress queer creativity… Taking inspiration from the censorship of Robert Mapplethorpe’s art in the 1980s and 1990s, and the more recent withdrawal of David Wojnarowicz’s A Fire in My Belly from the National Portrait Gallery, we explore the innovative responses to watershed moments in the history of censored LGBTQ art… Here we seek to situate the work within its historical context of censorship and to highlight the resilience of the queer artists who audaciously attempt to address diverse social and political issues in their work.”
If you visit the exhibit, I’d love to hear your thoughts and if you think it is worth checking out.

There are gay daddies and then there are gay daddies. While one variety you tend to only meet online or out at a bar or club, the latter is more pervasive but not always visible. In 2013 The Williams Institute estimated that as many as 6 million children are being raised in same sex households.
A Kickstarter campaign was started to help fund a new movie called The Guys Next Door. This movie invites you into the home of Erik and Sandro, a married gay couple with two daughters, birthed by their friend Rachel who has a family of her own. Award-winning filmmakers, Allie Humenuk and Amy Geller, follow this extended family for 3+ years capturing life as it unfolds. Told with humor and grace, this feature-length documentary is a poignant and inspiring story of family, friendship and gay rights.

Vincent Franklin as Henry in Russell T Davies’s new drama Cucumber Photo: Channel 4
Welsh T.V. producer and screenwriter, Russel T Davies, who gave us the 1999 mini series Queer As Folk, is bringing his new shows Cucumber and Banana to the US on Logo TV. The first episodes of Cucumber and Banana will air after RuPaul’s Drag Race on Monday, March 2 at 10pm ET/PT. The two shows will then return for their official season premieres on April 13.
According to the press release, “The two interwoven drama series will explore 21st century gay life in all its powerful, witty, dark and uplifting guises through the lens of two disparate generations.” I’ll admit I’m curious to check out this series. The original UK eight episode series QAF was pretty shocking and pushed the envelope. The US series sort of lost its way as Showtime tried to expand that initial storyline but its in-your-face unapologetic look at gay life in the late 90s had a frenetic energy. Theo Merz who writes to the UK paper, The Telegraph, feels neither series lives up to QAF but I’d still like to check it out and decide for myself. If you live in the Boston area is Channel 281. If you live elsewhere, check with your local provider to see if they carry Logo-TV.
