• THE NANCE: GAY BURLQUE AND STRAIGHT PLAYS
• THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

BURLQUE IS SO GAY. AND THAT’S A GOOD THG.

You thought I was gay? ” A cur nigratn, as Gloria Gaynor’s mega-h sgle “I Will Survive” is a regnized anthem for the women’s movement, the gay movement and HIV/AIDS survival. There is an trigug siary between Marshall’s enthiasm for Tangled and reviews of Burlque g om gay or gay-iendly sourc.

Sara Michelle Fetters om Seattle Gay News wr:. Aguilera is fairly charmg as the star-stck génue, while Cher and Tucci (playg the requise Gay bt iend wh an answer for everythg) uld do this sort of thg their sleep and make somehow worthwhile. Much more n be said about the film’s web of si jok and gay cultural referenc and the fact that Cher and director Steve Ant were (at different tim) long-time lovers wh media powerhoe David Geffen.

Gay employe are loved and tegral to the club. Many belong to the wisecrackg gay stumer, Sean, who is warmly played by Stanley Tucci. This character also gets one of the schmaltzit subplots ever, though I suppose prents a somewhat posive image of gays if that floats your boat.

THUNR SIGN FORMER NUGGETS NTRIBUTOR AFTER RUDY GAY CISN

Bee gay men typilly form such long-lastg relatnships? The lovebirds n't remember each other's nam, however, so we're given a peek at the empty promiscuy of the gay existence.

Bee this is a feel-good movie where everybody ws and every nflict is nicely patched up, the gay lovers don't jt part ways wh another notch on their belt.

And gays sudnly aren't so sad anymore! ) But the filmmakers had to show Disneyfied Amerin viewers that gay hookups were herently tragic until this reemg moment. Still, the uple is gay, so pdish Ameri uld never really approve of them the first place.

THUNR WAIV RUDY GAY, PER REPORT, CLEARG WAY FOR JACK WHE

You might not believe this om his lgo, but my iend is actually gay! Face , you're gay and you're gog. Perhaps a nod to the film's evable gay dience, Cam Gigant (who looks like Queer as Folk's Peter Paige) remov more cloth than any of the girls do.

Wh their judgment uncloud by the gays' diva worship, straight guys are gonna give to you, well, straight, and judge the stars on their actual sex appeal. There's one scene which Cher giv Christa some motherly makp tips that will make gays and drag queens alike asm.

And while gays are drawn to their divas like crows to stealg jewelry, we're also the first to scream "TIRED! Amiabily Towards Homosexualy.

THUNR CUTTG RUDY GAY CLEARS WAY FOR JACK WHE SIGNG

At first glance, the film appears to pack some punch toward the gay muny for the sake of cheap lghs, but many of the film’s jok actually subvert the expectatns of s heterosexual dience. In an era where homosexualy was still nmned, even nstutg sodomy as a felony prr to 1962, a nversatn between Jerry and Joe directly addrsed the characteristic mentaly of s time by askg, “Why would a guy want to marry a guy? In a further rejectn of the tradnal “Christian” valu that prrized misogyny and homophobia, Sugar’s character was prented as a plited woman who'd had a seri of short-term relatnships and was generally portrayed as a byproduct of the blossomg sexual revolutn.

This helped break down the notn of the heterosexual “nuclear fay” om the si, one of the primary ponents of the stigma surroundg homosexualy. When the Thunr cut Rudy Gay, that brought their roster down to 19 players. The Thunr waived veteran forward Rudy Gay on Wednday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported, th openg up a roster spot for Oklahoma Cy to sign Atralian wg Jack Whe.

Before waivg Gay, the Thunr was maxed out at 21 players, which is why the reported signg of Whe had yet to be falized.
