St. Patrick’s Day

Icon: Lady Gaga

Considering Matthew Shepard

You were already down to wear green and drink beer. This year, gay bars up your ante when St. Patrick’s Day falls on Friday. Don your best green party shirt, then look for lucky specials and four-leaf fun at any and all of your favorite gay night spots.

The same party people who brought you a night of tributes to Beyonce and Britney turn their attentions to the most unique diva of them all. The one and only Mother Monster inspires performances of song, dance and drag, while dance floor beats go Gaga as well.

Grammy–winner Craig Hella Johnson leads UGA’s Hodgson Singers and Glee Clubs performing Johnson’s new masterwork honoring the hate crime victim whose death galvanized the community.

The three-part fusion oratorio stages one night only in Atlanta.

NFFLA Margarita Bust

Bubbles & Biscuits

Queens for a Cure

The annual drinking of the green would not be complete without the gay flag football league’s signature party. Your $25 entry buys your bottomless margarita, access to a lot full of gay jocks and athletic supporters, and the money goes to help keep the league’s spring season going strong.

No other Sunday brunch sends you off knowing more about gay rights than this distinctly Southern soiree with Atlanta Victory Fund. Champagne and grub takes center stage as the group supporting LGBT candidates updates you on their work.

Ready, set, drag! RuPaul alums including Detox Icunt (photo), Jiggly Caliente, Manila Luzon and Sharon Needles perform to benefit AID Atlanta and Until There’s a Cure. The show is followed by a meet-andgreet autograph session with fans.

MARCH MADNESS PLAYLIST

BY SCOTT KING

SWEET TEAMS ARE MADE OF THESE: THE BEST ANTHEMS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAYS IN SPORTS. Apparently, when I was a very young gay person, I used to call them champion chips. That sounds hot. I also it used to be fond of a film called Shitty Shitty Bang Bang.

My mother coached college sports. My sister plays sports very, very well. I love them both very much. I don’t like sports, though. I think they’re Satanic a little bit.

If you love sports, you love to celebrate with a song. If you don’t, you can still rock out to channel the spirit. Here’s a list of the best anthems for gays in sports, just in time for March and its Madness – NBA playoffs begin March 15.

ROAR Katy Perry You’re going to win the game. You’re going to shoot the ball in the basket. Then they’re going to hear you roar.

HYPNOTIZE The Notorious B.I.G. After listening to this track, I am SO ready to kick your ass. With style. Federal agents mad cause I’m FLAGRANT.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST Queen This song is about all your ex-lovers. If Annie Lennox did a poignant cover of it at the piano, it would be about the AIDS crisis.

RAPE ME Nirvana I’m not the only one.

WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen At least it’s not “We are the Champions.” That beat though.

POWER OF TWO Indigo Girls Tennis has always been very, very gay.

Women’s doubles, anyone? What makes me think I could start clean slated?

30 | 3.15.17

davidatlanta.com | 31

PASS THAT DUTCH Missy Elliot Sports make even less sense when I’m stoned. Don’t the players and the fans realize that they’re all obsequious space robots?

C’MON RIDE IT (THE TRAIN) Quad City DJs I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can. I can.

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO Bonnie Tyler The song is degrading to women. It also makes all tingly downstairs.

CENTERFIELD John Fogerty Holy shit this song is gay. Or is it about being bisexual and still no one wants you? Either way, put me in coach. I’ll do whatever you say, today. There’s a brown-eyed handsome man. And a minivan. I think you understand ...

SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) Eurythmics This song is about pro wrestling. Or any of those amateur videos a bro might post to the Internet. Some of them want to use you. Some of them (most of them) want to get used by you.

I GOT ID Pearl Jam Yes you do, gurl. And I fight back in my mind. Like a boss.

32 | 3.15.17

X RAY SPEX

I LOVE WOMEN. I HAVE ALL THEIR ALBUMS.

Female-fronted punk band from England that put out one and only one record in 1978. Kind of like the Sex Pistols. I know you don’t like punk, and you don’t like women, but frontwoman Poly Styrene’s voice could peel the paint off a ceiling. In a good way. Oh, bondage! Up yours!

RYE RYE This adorable Baltimorian is a fierce M.I.A. protege and duets with Robyn. Also, her music is really good for bottoming. Mention her name to a record store clerk and blow they MIND.

BY SCOTT KING

THESE ARE THE UNSUNG FEMALES IN MUSIC WHO BRING THE WOMEN’S HISTORY PARTY TO GAY MEN. AS A GAY MAN, YOU MAY OR MAY not even know that it’s Women’s History Month, much less consciously commemorate or celebrate it in any way. We can do better, and have fun at the same time.

It’s easy to see how some divas and some gay men click in mutually beneficial ways. We’re looking at you, Gaga, Janet, Madonna, Mariah, Cher, Katy, Kylie, et al. In short, many of us are already loving some great women for their talents, and specifically, how they own being women.

PJ HARVEY When Madonna or Tori Amos or Kate Bush or Courtney Love Cobain or Bjork or any of the other women in rock that I love more than anything come on the stereo, I want to break the furniture. When Polly Harvey comes on, I want to go for a long, long walk. She’s never made a bad record. She’s the best.

But there are way more women in music, not to mention women in general – hello, that gay men can get behind that not all of us even know about. Yet.

MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO In order to get the party that is Women’s History Month started, here are seven female musical artists who for some reason aren’t worshipped by every queer on planet Earth. Until now.

40 | 3.15.17

Queer, activist, poetic, an early sign for Maverick Records, and sang backup on M’s “I’d rather be your lover” after Pac dropped out. Why aren’t you listening to her?

LIZ PHAIR You’ve heard of her. Suck it up and listen to her first two records when you’re bored You’ll be cursing like a demure French sailor before you know it.

ELLEN ALLIEN What what WHAT? Exactly. If you watched any of those popular premium cable series during the Bush years, Ms. Allien’s music was probaby grooving the future into the present in the background during the promo. Excellent music for road trips to Montreal, kana sutra training, and holiday barbecues

KATHLEEN HANNAH Despite the occasional white girl disingenuousness, punk shaman Kathleen Hanna has fronted at least three bands whose records will make you feel something.

Bikini Kill, The Julie Ruin, and Le Tigre.

My feminisn wouldn’t be the same without them. And a healthy dose of Camille Paglia.

SEARCHING FOR Jimmy Moss

He worked at Stevens in 1980. I'm his favorite singer.

Jerry C. atticus @ cjatticus.com davidatlanta.com | 63

splitting with my guy of several years. The last thing I want to do is go on a date, let alone be in a serious relationship.

What am I missing?

So Is Nobody Getting Lasting Exclusivity?

Dear SINGLE: Well, you’re not missing time on your hands. I get the temptation to stare and judge, especially when this guy puts it all out there to collect “likes” and comments.

HEY,

DADDY! SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT GUY Hey, Daddy!

There I am, doing my morning scroll through Facebook World, and I see that a guy I know is posting from the airport with his new boyfriend, who he is taking home to meet his mom for the first time. Sweet right? Well, kinda.

It was less than a year ago that this same friend was married to a different guy, going through a horrible divorce, and posting his woes on social media. I got curious and went further back. Same scenario with yet another guy the year before.

I’ve taken stock of several friends and acquaintances who end one relationship and find love a second time. And a third. And a fourth.

Always monogamous love forever amen. Until it’s not.

Of course, I see it through my own lens, which is a few months after

64 | 3.15.17

It’s true that some guys can’t be alone. Being in a relationship is the end-goal so they don’t have to face themselves. They perpetually force the wrong person into their scenario, and they repeat the mistake over and over.

On the surface, we can’t justify the perpetual loop of divorce-love-divorce again. But as compelling as the gossip may be, it’s ultimately a waste of time.

Without inside info on this man’s thought process, we can’t know what’s right for him.

It’s good you brought it around to your situation.

You may be a little envious of happy couples right now, possibly afraid to dive into another relationship.

Hang in there. Your timing is your own, and you’ll know when it’s right.

Do stop comparing your life to others’ social posts, though. It’s none of your business, and you’ll make yourself miserable comparing their highlight reels to your behind-the-scenes.

ATLANTA PRIDE Oct. 13-15, 2017 | atlantapride.org

fairyscopes

66 | 3.15.17

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19):

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22):

You are now as prone to accidents as ever. Secondguessing yourself won’t help. Just slow down and pay attention! As a bonus you might notice details that can improve your work, your health and your reputation as a genius.

Be very careful of your health. Cold and wet are not your friends! Temptations and invitations to parade around in something skimpy may be irresistible, but if you want to get hot, stay warm!

TAURUS (Apr. 20 – May 20):

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21):

Seeing your mother in the mirror might be a bit spooky, but there are lessons there (besides acceptance!). With maturity comes an appreciation for what she intended at least. A part of her will always be with you, so find the good in that.

Innovative efforts are likely to fail, but even then you can learn something important. Be careful not to damage material resources, working relationships or your health. Your dark, nasty humor wants to emerge for the wrong audience. Be careful!

GEMINI (May 21- Jun. 20):

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21):

A hard reality check can make you recalculate your goals, but it’s not all bad. We all have to trim our sails now and then. Trust your instincts. Friends offering challenges may not have your best interest at heart. Think ahead!

Unless you and your mate really are partners in work as well as at home, helping each other with work is going to create trouble. If you’re seeking new work, polish your résumé over the weekend and get it out next week.

CANCER (Jun. 21- Jul. 22):

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19):

If you seek the spotlight, you’ll regret it. Someone’s likely to shove you under it anyway, and you may not like that either. Share credit, shoulder blame and be careful of who you trust.

Setbacks at work can get under your skin, triggering arguments with the boss. Don’t let passing annoyances get to you. Take it out on some rough or challenging fun. Anything from a game of rugby to a good intellectual stretch will shake off the tension.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22):

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18):

Trying too hard to promote yourself can antagonize colleagues. Modesty doesn’t mean you have to deny yourself, but try to keep your ego out of it and present your work in a simple, straightforward way.

Recent inspirations and brilliant utterings may have you feeling invincible, but the gift of gab is passing.

Wherever being crude and nasty, or brutally to the point can serve you, have at it. Otherwise modest reticence is best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22):

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20):

Erotic exploration is likelier to teach you what you don’t like than what you do. Experimenting is fine if you can joke about it afterwards. Trust the instinctive “no.” Feeling you have to prove something is the surest way to trouble.

Dissatisfaction in love may get so bad that the only thing holding you together is the expense of splitting up. Problems that seem unsolvable now may find answers later. List the positives and the negatives; remember the good stuff when you talk.

Playmates or soul mates, you’ll find them on MegaMates Always FREE to listen and reply to ads!

bitch session You’re like a zombie. No matter how many brains you eat, you’ll never have one.

Hey Dunwoody Douche: Sorry it took so long for me to figure out you provide nothing but a dick and a headache.

It’s like someone told him he could never hurt me, and he said, ‘Hold my beer.’

I’ve decided to give up on him and be civil, so when karma hits my triumph will be complete.

You call me hateful for keeping it real. I never learned how to say ‘Fuck you’ politely.

SEND US YOUR BITCHES! Text 404.969.BTCH, tweet @BitchSessionATL or email bitch@davidatlanta.com *This page reflects the bitchiness of the community not David Atlanta or its publisher (although we’re bitchy too!)

Have fun! means I’m not leaving the house today unless it’s on fire.

How is it the people who know the least have the most to say?

If by ‘We’ll still be friends,’ you mean never call, never text and stay the f* away from each other, then yeah totally.

You are awful. No one makes himself great by showing how small someone else is.

Honey, any gay boy can run his mouth. Now watch a real bitch back that shit up.
