The promo materials for Josh Sharp’s solo show “ta-da!,” a twisted, spicy comic romp now playing at the Greenwich House Theater, tout his “Herculean feat” memorizing 2,000 PowerPoint slides. Indeed, Sharp himself playfully harps on this achievement, as the slides are projected in rapid succession onto the stage backdrop. “I’ve had to memorize that shit. The script is 180 pages drawn-out for an 80-minute show,” he crows, displaying the final page from the Google Docs script as proof. “I’ve got to do a slide every 2.4 seconds.” Impressive as this stunt is, the real triumph is his knack for storytelling, which tugs on the heartstrings as it tickles the funny bone. The thirtysomething, self-described “gay comedian” recounts getting heckled while pe
Images of attendees said to be at Seattle's Diverse Pride parade have drawn outrage online after some appeared naked in public.
Pictures posted on social media, which Newsweek could not immediately verify, show people with rainbow flags riding bikes in the nude, and later standing on a street where children were walking past. The story was promptly picked up by several right-wing news outlets.
The safety and wellbeing of children has become a key arguing point for those opposed to greater LGBTQ+ inclusion, especially in school curricula. Some say LGBTQ+ ideology indoctrinates younger people into thinking they are in the wrong body or "grooms" them to be sexualized at a juvenile age.
While several states acquire sought to limit Queer content in the learning system and ban children from attending drag shows, gay rights advocates disagree that such claims and measures stigmatize young Homosexual individuals, impacting their mental health.
Seattle's 49th annual Gay Pride event took place on Sunday, beginning in the city's downtown district at 11 a.m. local time (2 p.m. ET) and finishing at 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) near the Space Needle north of Belltown.
According to its official website,
Why are there so many naked people at Pride?
If you’ve ever been to a Pride celebration you know that the people watching is fantastic! There are colorful outfits, elaborate costumes, cute kids, couples holding hands, and more. It’s lovely!
And there are no small number of people who are basically wearing nothing.
Maybe just underwear or tape over sensitive areas. As someone who is very much in favor of clothing for myself, I sometimes fight with these public displays. Not out of any sense of respectability politics or prudishness, but simply because it’s not something I would choose for myself. I’ve heard other folks mention their discomfort (for all sorts of reasons) about the nakedness of Pride and so I spent some moment reflecting on my possess reaction.
Pride (for all of its faults; whitewashing, transgender exclusion, corporate assimilation, etc.) is a celebration of life in the confront of oppression and repression.
If for 364 days of the year you are told that your body is sinful and sick… If for 364 days a year you are told that who you have sex with and who you love should be kept hidden… If for 364 days a year you are told that your body is weird and your scars are ugly and
The Right To Bare All: Should Nudity Be Allowed At Pride?
The never-ending debate on letting it all hang out continues on…
By Bobby Box
In honour of IN Magazine’s 2020 Self-acceptance issue, we are revisiting the debate of nudity at Pride, asking individuals in our community where they stand so we can better understand…and perhaps settle things once and for all.
The issue really blew up in 2014, after Toronto District University Board (TDSB) trustee Sam Sotiropoulos led a motion requesting that police enforce the city’s public nudity laws at Toronto Event . “[Pride] is supposed to be a family-friendly event. If you went to any other ward in the city on that day and paraded around naked, you would likely be arrested,” Sotiropoulos argued at the time.
The controversial request threatened the very tradition of Pride, and was covered by the nation’s most reputable news sources. According to them, Sotiropoulos, a “strong believer in traditional family values,” said he had “no problem participating with Pride,” but could not endorse an event “where the laws against public nudity are being flouted.”
His ask for, supported by two fellow trustees, was ultimately crushed by the TD
