1-10 April is the innimitable Out in Africa , South African Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Nodi Murphy initiated this bold move 18 years ago and this is one Festival that continues to entertain and educate people. Thsi year the festival is spread out over 3 seasons, which means you do not have to break your life apart trying to get to every movie over the usual 2 week binge.
Last night I did a double session with a woman friend. "We have to stop now" was a funny movie about two married women. The theatre was packed with women. "The cost of love" is an upbeat, full of surprises movie about a male sex worker , covering the important themes of sex work, sexual diversity and even a touch of HIV and violence - the face of sex today. We were the only 2 women in the audience. Now tell me where else will you have such a novel movie experience?? Get tickets for OIA at www.oia.co.za.
Listen into The Dr Eve Show on Heart 104.9fm and Gagasi 99.5fm on Wednesday night at 8pm. Director Joseph Graham will be in the studio to discuss his movie called STRAPPED. We also have a change of jock- Suga joins us in studio, driving the show, changing the dynamic to two women and one Vusi in Gagasi- be sure to listen in .
Gay girls and Gay boys , trasngender and anything other than straight continue to bear the burden of hate killings. Last week another lesbian was murdered. 20 years old Nokuthula Radebe was brutally murdered after walking her girlfriend home. Nothign in the publci press alerted us to this hate crime. No voices raised loud enough about corrective rape and murders of gay people. I think the "gayness' that is the right of every citizen in this country is being squeezed out of LGBTI people. NGO's cannot fight this battle alone. it needs public voices, marches and demonstrations to stop this very "ungay" very unhappy situaiton. I look forward to what present conversations in Government bring as they discuss corrective rapes.
May the week bring you gayness, and merriment and freedom to choose who you love and how you love. Talking about love and freedom, take a look at the new Siri by Lelo. It really is a highly vibratory expereince which will make your /her clitoris smile.
