OH MY!!


The night before thanksgiving is one of the busiest nights of the year for bars.  Check out our HOMO:Guide for  T.G.E 2011

Thanksgiving, time to talk about that amendment with your family

Yup, it's that time of the year.  Time when that bitchy aunt comes over for the holidays and informs you (again) that you are headed to hell.  She just doesn't understand why we would allow gay people to get married.  (She also doesn't understand how to make a good gravy, but that isn't the point here.)

To defeat that amendment, we GOTA have those hard conversations with our loved ones.  

'But this is an opportunity that we can't afford to miss. The single most important action you can take is to start a conversation about why marriage matters to you. How else will your friends and family know that defeating the constitutional amendment is important to someone they love?'- Chris Stinson, OutFront Minnesota

“We Were Here” film

HOMO:film

WE WERE HERE (trailer) from David Weissman on Vimeo.


Join the Minnesota AIDS Project for a screening of the critically acclaimed documentary film “We Were Here” on Thursday, December 1, World AIDS Day, at the Riverview Theater at 7:00 p.m


“It’s impossible for a single film to capture the devastation wrought by AIDS, or the heroism with which many in the LGBT community responded to it. But director David Weissman’s documentary is such a powerful achievement because he just about does it. Focusing on the arrival, detonation and devastation of AIDS in San Francisco (after first reminding viewers how and why the city was a queer utopia), Weissman employs standard documentary tools — stock footage, home movies, smart talking heads — to wonderful effect. It’s that last component that makes the film: Armed with just their voices, wit, humor and memories, the film’s interviewees break your heart with their stories.” Ernest Hardy, LA Weekly

World AIDS Day Screening of “We Were Here”
Thursday, December 1
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Riverview Theater
3800 42nd Avenue S

Forbes Ranks Mpls #1

via

 Forbes just ranked Mpls as the healthiest city in America!


"Minneapolis residents breathe clean air, prioritize exercise and keep their weight down, supported by a city that was among the first to add bike trails and ban smoking in public places. If you live in Minneapolis-St. Paul, you and your neighbors are less likely to have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and asthma and are more likely to be in excellent or very good health."-forbes
