Nashville Scene
Best Repertory Series Queer Qlassics
ANNIE PARNELL
4 HRS AGO

When The People's Joker screened in the Belcourt's Queer Qlassics series, director Vera Drew handed out stickers on the sidewalk — and my partner and I ran into Grammy nominee Aaron Lee Tasjan (whose latest album explores coming out) in the popcorn line. That's just the surface of the community and happy chaos of this July series, which featured a Q&A with Drew, a local queer film history seminar, and screenings of tearjerkers (Brokeback Mountain) and camp oddities (D.E.B.S.) alike. Its focus on "stability in hostile times" is especially important now — and so was its revolutionary sense of joy.

On this day in 1991, hip-hop artist Robert Van Winkle improvised his one and only hit song while witnessing a deadly brawl of mutants.

Four score and one hundred and twenty-eight weeks ago, my queer ass brought forth on this continent a new gender

Tweet from Quinn Hills on 7/4/23: Happy Quinndependence Day! Two years ago on July 4th, I closed my eyes on a beach and realized I’m a woman. To commemorate that historic moment, many Americans today will light fireworks and eat garbage

Stop saying the government did this by mistake.

They did this to Kilmar Abrego Garcia on purpose because he’s brown and looks like the kind of person they don’t want in this country and because they could. Whatever their excuse has been after the fact is irrelevant.

Adam Lichtenstein @adamlichtenstein.bsky.social · Apr 14

There you have it. The administration sent an unconvicted, uncharged man to a gulag in El Salvador by mistake and is going to ignore a court order to bring him home.

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?

BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous

TRUMP: These are sick people

one of the cool things about being a queer woman is that if you ever misplace your keys they’re probably clipped to your most recent pair of pants
