INSI NYC’S SECRET CULT THAT ‘FORCED GAY PEOPLE TO NVERSN THERAPY’ & BRAWASHED HIGH-ACHIEVERS TO MANUAL LABOR

I've whtled down the list of my favore gay cult classics to jt the ten, which I tend to ver a wi range of bas.

Some movi didn't make the cut bee their appeal is arguably too limed (Kenh Anger's legendary short film Fireworks), and others bee their appeal extends well beyond the parameters of gay cultdom (David Lynch's Mulholland Drive).

Not every movie the list is explicly GLBT that shows a romantic, same-sex relatnship, but tst me, every movie on this list (which is prented alphabetil orr) is totally gay.

THE GAY CULT (WHY I DON’T SUPPORT LGBT)

John Waters is arguably the preement gay director, and Female Trouble was reportedly his own favore film.

No really, David Fcher's barnstormg adaptatn of (gay) thor Chuck Palahni's cult novel is teemg wh gay unrcurrents, for those tapped to s shall we say unique worldview. On the surface, there's nothg herently gay about this documentary peek to the cmblg tate of Big and Ltle Edie Bouvier, nt and to former First Lady Jacquele Kennedy.

This movie may be to this list what the Gay '90s is to Mneapolis: an obligatory tourist stop. Rob Epste's Osr-wng 1984 doc tak a clear look at the signifince of San Francis cy uncilman Harvey Milk's legacy as one of the pneerg openly gay policians.

His plea for people to e out of the closet and show their loved on the te, human face of homosexualy still ronat.

The rare group sometim weled gay men as brothers, but only so long as they upheld the polary r of the tradn they were practicg.

Our Ftivals are rooted Aegean cycl and myths and are largely R, like those of other paths of Tradnal Wchcraft, n be sexually charged, and are cidly homoerotic. No one is expected to do anythg non-nsensual; however, people unfortable wh nudy and homoerotic suatns may not be sued for this Tradn. Cast a few top-shelf gay ins there — your Bette Middlers, your Joan Crawfords, your Faye Dunaways playg Joan Crawford — and pecially have them reparteeg bchy l tearg each other to piec, and have an athetic that’s outre and unironilly mp, and you’ve got the wng-formula starter-pack for somethg licly fabulo and queer, even if not by tentnal sign.

GAY CULT

But settg a precent for movi now nonized by gay culture that don’t technilly have any (non-d, anyway) gay characters were some of Hollywood’s most all-time legendary actrs: Bette Davis “All About Eve” ma “’s gog to be a bumpy ri” an idmatic quip, while Elizabeth Taylor then ma Bette Davis’ “what a dump” even more inic aga the openg le of “Who’s Aaid of Virgia Woolf, ” livered while gnawg down on a chicken wg. Ed Bianchi’s 1981 “The Fan, ” meanwhile, livered perhaps the greatt gift to gay film fans of a certa era stg Lren Ball as an agg actrs stgglg to hold onto her legacy while beg stalked by, what else but, a psychotic gay fan.
