A Note from the
Editor
Senseless Suicide I found out yesterday that a friend that I have known for almost fifteen years committed suicide. Though we hadn’t talked in many years, I knew him well. We had been on several vacations together, and he even consoled me after a bad break up in New York. He was my age, apparently in good health (had a sickening body even at our age), and he was always very mentally and financially stable. I just can’t understand why he would kill himself. Was he reaching out for help? Was there something anyone could have done? Was there something I should have done? I read that Gays and Lesbians are two to six times more likely to suicide than Heterosexuals. I also read that suicide is the leading cause of death for LGBT youth. In this day and age, why is that? I mean look at the world around us, acceptance seems to be everywhere. You can turn on the TV and see gay characters and roles. Even if your family is unaccepting of your sexual orientation, there are many, many people who are. People that will welcome you to their world with open arms and hearts. There are city centers like Midtown all over this country now. My friend was my age; he had seen first hand the slow but positive progression of gay rights. We, as a LGBT community, are changing the world for the better. Why would someone want to miss that? Maybe it had little to do with being gay at all. Maybe my friend had taken a wrong turn in life and felt that there was nowhere to go but nowhere. I have a hard time imagining this. It’s just not in his mental makeup to give up like that. Some of the warning signs for suicide include; giving away prized possessions, changes in eating and sleeping habits, extreme personality changes, and withdrawing from family and friends. My friend had moved to Orlando. Were his friends down there noticing this? His last Facebook post read, “It’s been forever since I’ve danced.” That’s not exactly suicidal, but one could read something into it. The most interesting thing was that this very last post was made way back in mid September. I wish I could have done something. We should all be more mindful of our friends and be more vigilant for the signs of suicidal tendencies. As a community we only make up 10% of the population. We need to stick together and support our brothers and sisters. I’ll miss you, my friend.

“keep it interesting” kinds of reasons, but just to have other loving companions to share some of our life lessons and accomplishments with. (Yeah, triads and polyamorous relationships are just as boringly normal as your ‘one on one’ monogamous ones. I promise.) In writing about thirds, we have a pup flying in from Texas to celebrate mine and Andrew’s anniversary weekend. While at the same time, we are casually dating someone that lives just outside of town. In the past couple of weeks, three more prospects have popped up; expressing more interest than just platonic friendship and/or a one night stand scenario. Where were these gorgeous little cubs back in the Spring, or even Summer? I almost thirst to death waiting for a drink of water to come sidling up to me. Enough so, that I looked at Andrew and told him we had reached the end. We are too fat, and too middle aged, and too poor to lure them in on wit and charm alone. It’s a trend that has happened to us over the years, and makes me want to explore the Science of it further by knowing if it happens to others. Do men actually get better cuddle buddy offers later in the year, than they do in the Spring?
It’s Last Call, and Winter is Coming
Does it really hearken back to a time of nesting and hibernating? Or am I just reaching, and tying in faint biological rationale to a social situation that is all merely coincidental?
All I know, is that at this rate, I’m going to have a very full dining Why are we so obsessed with finding a winter cuddle buddy? room for Thanksgiving. But at least we’ll be cozy. It’s much like going to the club. You’re looking at your prospects and being coy and coquettish in the early part of the evening, Gobble Gobble~~ but as the night wanes, you start being more bold with your pickup lines. You start making direct eye contact and having pointed conversations about the always famous lines “your place, or mine?” All seems well and good, until the dreaded words “last call” are crackled over the inevitably terrible mic system. Then all fashionable decorum is left in the trough at the Eagle (one of my fave local bars) and you realize any piece of ass will do. It’s closing time and you want to get laid. You know the story, it’s always the same scenario; just a different bar or party. Well similarly, it’s much like the changing seasons of the calendar year. We are biologically connected to want to burst forth and be fertile and spread our cheer all over the Spring and Summer, but come Fall and Winter...it’s time to find a cuddle buddy and hunker down for the inevitable snowpocalypse. Is it the need to find family parallels with our loved ones we celebrate the holidays with? Or is it truly something as primal as just wanting a mate for the winter to keep us warm at night? I’m asking because my dance card is always full around this time of year. Many of you know that my husband and I have been together for almost 19 years, and have often dated thirds; not for cliche 10 // 11.05.2014

Manly Miss America Pageant
A Benefit for P.A.L.S.
Y
ou won’t see died-in-the-wool drag beauty pageant contestants, with perfect makeup and gorgeous gowns showing off voluptuous hips and cleavage at this pageant. But then, you’re not really meant to. This bevy of beauties is comprised of masculine burly men, getting dolled up and beating their mugs, to compete for the glorious title of Manly Miss America on Saturday, November 8. Why would these hunky guys go through all this effort? They’re not serious about female impersonation; they’re not (for the most part) even serious about winning the crown. They are raising money and awareness for Pets Are Loving Support.
P. A .L.S. provides ongoing care and support to pets of Atlanta area persons living with critical illnesses, disabilities, and the elderly. The organization was formed to help pets and owners remain together to share the healing power of love and companionship, which flows from the human-animal bond. Assisting 400 animals with the help of over 50 volunteers, P.A.L.S provides food, veterinary services, and free foster care and adoption when necessary. Chairman of the Board, David Lile shared one heart-wrenching story after another of how pets enriched sick people’s 14 // 11.05.2014

lives and helped to heal and/or sooth their owners. One story in particular struck a chord. P.A.L.S. coordinated an adoption of a beloved pet as the owner was in their last stages of a terminal illness. The owner was integral in the adoption process, as they wanted the animal to be passed on to a loving and supportive home. Once the new owner was decided upon the illness took over and claimed the life of the original owner. Yet the pet still had a wonderful home. It’s stories like these that show the power and respect that P.A.L.S. has in Atlanta. The second annual Manly Miss America Pageant promises to be a great time with over 17 hunky contestants doing their very best to raise money for P.A.L.S and avoid walking the Jungle stage in “booger drag.” All of the contestants have previously been raising donations for PA.L.S via online and in person donations. These donations will equal a portion of their scores in the pageant. Other scored categories in the pageant are evening gown, and even a bathing suit! Additionally, because it’s the Manly Miss America Pageant all of the contestants have chosen a state to represent. Last year the overall event raised $10,000 and secured its place in the annual lineup of PALS fundraisers. Winner, Kevin DeLoach (pictured) raised $1,200 as Miss Texas and took the crown and title of PALS Spokes Queen. Join us at Jungle at 6 p.m. this Saturday, for the spectacular spectacle of super hot men…in drag as they shashay and shantey their way to the crown. Give donations to your favorite manly queen by voting online for one dollar a vote. There are no limits to the number of votes you can make. So if you donate $100 to your favorite burly beauty, that counts as 100 votes. You can get your tickets for $15 at www.palsatlanta.org, or simply buy entry at the door for $20. See you there!

DICK is Right
This is a tale of booze and three Southern gay guys: Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Tom is wound way too tight. Known to pals as Tommy, he’s a teetotalling twink. Demon rum will never sully his dewy lips lest it put pounds on his fashionably skinny hips. Tom, easily offended by almost anything, finds alcohol especially repugnant. He believes in abstinence of all things. This young fellow insists, “Cigarettes stink. Casual sex is taboo. And booze is evil.” The first, last, and only time Tom tried that “awful stuff” was during the champagne toast at his stepsister’s wedding. One tiny sip was more than enough. For fear of getting potted, the rest of that expensive bubbly was discreetly disposed into a potted palm. Poor Tom. Harry is too loose. He’s a heavy-hitter doing everything to excess, especially alcohol. You can always find Harry at any party because he’s always the loudest & drunkest dude there. Although, you won’t find Harry invited many places these days. He caused a disaster at his brother’s bachelor party by dancing on tables and finally pissing into the punch bowl. He drives between two part time jobs on a hardship license.
20 // 11.05.2014
You see, Harry lost full driving privileges following a conviction for DUI. All the cops on the Peachtree Street beat know him by name since they’ve been arresting him so regularly for public intoxication. Harry imagines he’s everybody’s best friend. Instead, whenever he walks in the door, people will warn, “Look out...here comes trouble.” For Harry, this year’s gay pride festival was highlighted by a puke tour of Piedmont Park.
Dick is right. In fact, he is always right. Now aging gracefully through his 30s, Dick finds the middle road to be the favored path. An honor roll student in high school, he was both an athlete and artist; competing as captain of the men’s swim team and also performing with the gals in synchronized swimming. Richard fell in love with the boy down the block and they dated until graduation. Upon receiving a college scholarship, Dick went to a top state university where he had his one-and-only drunken blackout. It was during the rush party at Bana Cana Tuna, the gay fraternity he was pledging. After way too many keg stands and beer bongs, an inebriated Dick awoke buck naked under the coffee table. He learned his lesson well. Today, he’s the ideal example of moderation. He’ll join friends for “just one.” He’ll pop a few brews during a Falcons game. And he and his boyfriend always share a bottle of wine during those frequent romantic dinners. But, you won’t ever find him wasted. He never drives drunk. He is everyone’s favorite designated driver. Dick is perfect. Tom is tight. Harry is loose. Dick is just right. Which are you?

Frenchie
Busy, Blessed, and still Bi
C
atching up with Frenchie Davis is difficult these days. She has kept herself busy earning a college degree, beginning her film career, recording music and, in general, performing her ass off.
FD: I went back in the fall of last year and graduated in May. I was just accepted into the MBA program at the University of Interpol in London. Now I’m just trying to map out how all that is going to work. Education has always been important to me. I actually was a junior in college when I got my first job doing Little Shop of Horrors at a theater company in Germany, and that was about a year or so before I auditioned for Idol, and then after Idol I went to Broadway and started working nonstop. Going back to finish my degree was never far from my mind.
Frenchie’s career began officially, in the nation’s eyes, when she competed and was later disqualified in 2003 from one of the early seasons of American Idol. Yet even that professional hiccup catapulted her towards her Broadway career, and again into the national spotlight with another television show: The Voice. Having a sense of self, and positive outlook on life, has allowed Frenchie to achieve greatness from both DA: What do you like about Atlanta and the the hiccups, and the successful events in her life. people here? David Atlanta: Your scheduled to perform tonight at the GLAAD Atlanta awards, are you excited? Frenchie Davis: I’ve been running around Atlanta getting ready for it. Getting my hair cut and figuring out what I’m going to wear. Cause you know, it’s kind of black tie. I have this beautiful blue Ralph Lauren long flowy number that I think will be perfect. DA: What do you have in mind to perform tonight?
I’ve already been publicly shamed, so what can they do to me now? I’m who I want to be, and the rest doesn’t matter.
FD: I have so many friends from college here and even have some family here, so it’s growing on me. I mean, I’m a California girl, through and through. I miss my power walks on the beach, but Atlanta has a lovely landscape and there’s a growing artistic community here that I find myself drawn to. Particularly on the music side. Obviously my theatrical stuff takes me to New York, my TV and film stuff and behind the scenes production work is in L.A. Musically though I tend to end up in Atlanta a lot. The recording studio that I am working with on my album is here is Atlanta.
FD: I do! I am going to sing “Home” from The Wiz, which is DA: You’re talking about Just Frenchie? always a number they always seem to request for these kinds of things. I’m also doing a rendition of Firework by Katy Perry FD: Yes with an R&B spin. DA: Oh wonderful! I am so happy you’re working DA: I love your name Frenchie, but it comes from on that again. I loved the single “Loves Got a Hold your real name Franchall. How did the name On Me.” Frenchie evolve? FD: Thank you so much.

Davis BY JONATHAN BUGG
FD: Fingers crossed (laughs). DA: Later next month, you are scheduled to headline at Vena at Vinings. It’s like dinner theater. Do you enjoy the occasional smaller venue and more intimate performance? FD: For this particular style of show, yes. A lot of the arrangements will come from the French and Kat show, which is my cabaret show that played in New York earlier this year. Kathryn Lounsbery, she’s my piano player and co-star in the show. She and I kind of created the French and Kat show one drunken night in a piano bar. We just made up our own soulful arrangements of everything from “Lollipop” by Lil’ Wayne, to “Crazy On You” by Heart – everything from Hip Hop to Trash Metal. It started off as just kind of a joke and us being silly, and then before you knew it people were saying that we should do this as a for real show. So this show definitely works best in a more intimate space. Katheryn [Lounsbery] will not be able to make this show, but I have a great understudy that will be playing piano for me. DA: You described Kathryn as your “musical soul mate and non-sexual life partner,” how did that come about? FD: Yeah, we’re friends for life. We just get each other. Our humor is so similar, and our musical taste is also so similar. She’s like this little white girl from Milwaukie, Wisconsin who has a naked Liberace in a bubble bath hanging over her bathtub, and Nina Simone hanging over her piano. She’s amazing, and one of the most musical people I know. DA: You also participated in a documentary about queer music culture. What can you tell us about that? FD: You know what’s funny is that I didn’t even know that I was in a documentary. They didn’t get our permission for any of that. So that was interesting news to me (laughs).

I think that once I tapped into my funny-bone, I really found who I was as an actress. After that I got to do Herlarious with Wanda Sykes. Key and Peele called me about being on an episode of their show, but I was working and couldn’t make it. I was so bummed. So…shout-out to them, hoping that they’ll keep me in mind for future episodes. I’ve also been working as a producer for an Indi-film called Follow. That film has to do with queer issues and families. It’s a beautiful film. It’s about interracial gay couples that are struggling to plan their wedding, and adopt their son, and dealing with all of the social issues surrounding everything that they are. It’s just a beautiful, beautiful film. DA: When is that slated to begin?
FD: Well, luckily for me, the LGBT community makes such a huge part of my fan base that it didn’t change anything negatively for me. If anything, it has made me more liberated. I even feel liberated by the scandal around American Idol. I’ve already been publicly shamed, so what can they do to me now? I’m who I want to be, and the rest doesn’t matter. DA: That’s a great outlook. Maybe we should all be shamed publicly on some level. FD: Yeah. DA: Queen Latifah even spoofed you a little bit on Saturday Night Live.
FD: I think I’m a little bit more well spoken than the way she portrayed me, but hey, an Oscar nominated actress played me FD: Next, after Café Vena, I am going to start production on Saturday Night Live.

Rides BY GREGG W YNN
ays love cars. From simple utilitarian transport to really rugged rides, motor buffs will be drawn to the big Lambda Car Club display during Atlanta Pride 2014. Founded 25-years ago, the locallybased Dogwood Chapter covers a half-dozen states, comprises 200 members, and hosts regular gatherings every month. A herd of stunning chrome & steel steeds will await LGBT visitors in the heart of the action. Welcoming the 2015 automotive model year, David Atlanta previews a few vehicular favorites. Each auto reviewed is manufactured by a company certified as “gay-friendly” by GayWheels.com. Their ratings are based largely upon diversity-inclusion policies in the workplace.
Sub-Compact Fiat 500 Pop ($16,195 MSRP; MPG 40 hwy) Following in the diminutive wake of the popular Cooper Mini is Fiat’s launch into the easy-going ocean of urban transport. Small in stature, the head-turning front-wheel drive Fiat 500 Pop boasts a fuel-sipping 1.4-liter engine with five-speed manual transmission. Smaller cars require great dedication to safety. The 500 provides remote keyless entry, seven multistage airbags, and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. Plus, the vehicle is offered in 17 different sweet color options. Four-Door Sedan BMW ActiveHybrid 3 ($49,900 MSRP; MPG 33 hwy) The German-built BMW has long been a revered brand for LGBT motorists. Surely, timeless elegance & scrupulous attention to detail have been draws. Yet, it is the unrelenting reliability of products from Bavarian Motor Works which truly excels. The ActiveHybrid technology features a 300 hp engine, plus a 50 hp electric motor, coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Sport Utility Vehicle Land Rover LR4 ($50,625 MSRP; MPG 23 hwy) Seating seven passengers, the midsized Land Rover SUV with four-wheel drive and an 8-speed 340 hp engine stands ready to carry your team from beach to ballfield and beyond. Some vehicles in this category have been criticized for being unwieldy. The LR4, however, is equipped with electronic suspension, traction control, and active roll mitigation. Bring on those mountains.

Pick-Up Truck Ford F-150 ($25,025 MSRP; MPG 23 hwy) Beginning in 1948, Ford’s pick-up truck has earned the storied reputation as a true American workhorse. It is now the world’s longest-lived automotive model in continuous production. The formidable F-series truck has been the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for over three decades. Now in its thirteenth generation, the F-150 continues to evolve. With styling lifted from the Ford Atlas concept vehicle, the 2015 edition slashes overall weight with a largely aluminum body and a rigid steel frame.

Mary Jane “Just Say No”
, a well-known phrase heard in the 80’s and early 90’s used for advertising during the “War on Drugs” era. “Just Say No” once conceived and championed by First Lady Nancy Reagan. The slogan was used to discourage people from engaging in the recreational use of drugs. With medical research more prevalent and many families becoming ambitious to legalize the use of marijuana for both medical and recreational use, “Just Say No” could be a slogan of the past. This topic is weighing heavy on the minds of many people in the state of Georgia. Many people ask the complex questions of: How would decriminalization affect local government and law enforcement of Georgia? Will the rate of addiction increase for the use of marijuana and other drugs? How would the legalization of marijuana affect the addiction treatment community of Georgia greatly? How will the legalization of marijuana affect the economy in Georgia? I decided to remove the complex questions, and ask one simple question that everyone; both gay and straight, users and none users of marijuana could answer. “What is your view and thought about legalizing marijuana in Georgia?” People both gay and straight, did not hesitate to give their opinions. Several mentioned they do not personally approve of using the drug, but if necessary for medical use, why not make it legal? Others mentioned making the drug legal, but place a high tax on the drug, which would boost the economy of Georgia. According to msn. com, “legalization of marijuana nationwide would save governments an estimated $8.7 billion each year.” Local 34 // 11.05.2014
By Bryan Tillman and state governments toil with the cost rising and the decrease in revenue. They are searching for creative ways to increase income to pay for many plan projects. However, just when it seemed everyone was so serious or gave neutral response about legalizing this drug; I remembered one person that would give a different, but funny response and story. I contacted a good buddy of mine, Brad, a retired “pot head”. Brad and I attended the same college and we were teammates on the cheerleading team. Brad’s mood was always relaxed before practice. Why? You guessed it correctly--he smoked marijuana. After contacting Brad, I asked what is his view about legalizing marijuana and what was a funny story he could share; all potheads have a funny story--HAHA! He paused, chuckled and said; “Well how about this one, its pretty funny. One evening after cheerleading practice, Chris and I decided to get really stoned and take a trip to McDonalds. We traveled to the drive thru and proceeded to give our order. After being welcomed, I said, ‘we need a bag of burgers.’ The cashier asked, ‘How many would you like?’ I then said, ‘take a bag and fill it to the top with double cheese burgers and charge us for it.’ After placing the order, we pulled around to the first window and paid. Then we proceeded to the second window to pick up the bag of burgers.” “After arriving at the second window, we discovered the cashier had divided the burgers into two bags so that she could fold the top over. I looked at her and said, ‘That is not my order; I had a bag of burgers not two half bags.’ The cashier said, ‘Are you serious?’
Marijuana is often compared to the use of alcohol. Individuals dispute that marijuana is much safer than alcohol. It is said She then removed the burgers from one bag and placed that the death rate related to alcohol use is greater than those them all into the other bag, making it one bag of burg- related to use of marijuana. Others feel having the drug for ers. After arriving back to my place, Chris and I wanted recreational use seemed asinine. to know exactly how many burgers we had ordered. To our surprise, there were over 20 burgers; keep in mind, Let’s not forget the health side of this topic; after collecting double cheeseburgers in the bag. We continue to smoke information from individuals, they said the marijuana should so that we could remain hungry to devour the entire bag not be illegal if the drug is being used for medical purposes of burgers.” only. The scientific facts weight more for the pro side rather than the con side. Marijuana is known to produce effective Once Brad concluded his story, he then said, “I’m sure results to relieve nausea and vomiting associated with chemoyou know my stance on this issue after hearing this story. therapy used to treat cancer.

The drug is safer medical and recreational use, there are those that are than prescribed medications to treat the same symptoms. against the idea. These individuals will even argue that this is not safe; children can have easier access to the drug. I must say this topic was not on my radar for discussion. They dispute that marijuana use can affect short-term However, after speaking with individuals that are straight and memory. Using the drug frequently can impair cognitive in the LGBT community, this has become a topic that I will ability and even cause damage to the lung tissue. The risk watch closely.

The Theory of Everything: The film is based on the 2007 memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, written by Hawking’s first wife, Jane (Felicity Jones). The great part is that it’s a love story chronicling the couple’s early courtship as peers at Oxford in the 1960s, just as Stephen begins to display the initial symptoms of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), which would leave him severely handicapped for the rest of his life.

fairyscopes presented by: the armorettes
ARIES (Mar. 20 – Apr. 19): If you’ve been planning a long trip by air, you might doubt whether you should go. Money might be the issue. Be aware that your fears may run away with you. The situation may be more secure than it appears. You might want to attend a class or lecture. As with the vacation plans, try to view this objectively.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22): This week your job or another activity could require your artistic skills. You may not be used to this, so it could throw you. There should be others around who can collaborate with you, so you will be all right. A tendency to be overly emotional could interfere with just about anything you try. Stay centered.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20): Your intellect is flying high this week. A number of new ideas, perhaps about political or social issues, might excite your curiosity and cause you to want to spend hours in the library or on the Internet. Mundane tasks still need handling, however. This might be frustrating, because it takes you away from your quest.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 – May 20): You might feel too overwrought to concentrate on whatever goals you’re trying to reach. Past issues might crop up at inopportune times but will still need to be released. If you aren’t careful, this could get in the way of just about anything you need to do. Keeping cool is the most important thing to remember.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): A subject of interest that you’ve been pursuing could bring up some deeply buried emotions. You might want to try to make sense of it, although analyzing it intellectually may not be the answer. Avoid emotional confrontations. Things might be said that shouldn’t be said, and they won’t be easily forgotten.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19): Your imagination is working overtime. This drive to create comes from the heart and shouldn’t be ignored no matter what other issues come up. Take care of whatever needs to be handled and then follow your inspiration. You may be surprised at what you produce!
GEMINI (May 21- Jun. 20): You tend to be pretty self-assured, but self-esteem issues dating from long ago could resurface. You might feel like a schoolchild called on to recite. This could cause a few snags in your relationships or interfere with your effectiveness at social occasions. Try to remain objective. Don’t lose sight of who you are.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): This could be a confusing week for you. Financial issues might be complicated. Keep pushing and whatever you’re trying to straighten out will be resolved. An opportunity to participate in a project you’ve never tried before could have you doubting your abilities. Believe in yourself and then move ahead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): A conflict between your responsibilities to family and friends could rear its ugly head this week. You might want to attend an event but need to deal with issues in the home immediately. It could be difficult to keep a cool head under these circumstances. You should find a way to satisfy your family and go out.
CANCER (Jun. 21- Jul. 22): You might feel a bit slow, which could interfere with your daily routine. You might not feel like exercising, but it’s important that you do it anyway. Moving the body can put you in the proper frame of mind. It can also help purge your tissues of all the excess toxins you got over Halloween weekend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Financial issues might have you a bit more on edge than you need to be. Perhaps money is tighter than usual right now, and you have to put off purchases you want to make. This is a great week to reach a compromise, because you should be in just the right space to see both sides of any issue.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 19): Dissatisfaction with certain job conditions come to a head this week. A discussion with colleagues might be necessary to defuse a potentially explosive situation. Clear, honest communication is necessary. Try to remain objective. Don’t let your emotions take control. Things will work out to everyone’s satisfaction.
