note
Publisher This is a great year to be PROUD!! While we are smack dab right in the middle of a most turbulent time in history, and while we watch some of the most hard-fought gains for our community being stripped down, a most positive thing which I observe is the engagement our community to fight even harder, to come together to stand up for all of our marginalized friends and family. I watch our youth march with our elders, so that our collective voice is heard and seen. When out about town, I overhear conversations within our beloved shops, bars, restaurants, and nightclubs…. “our town halls” involving politics, world events, and the changing landscape of our community.

This is today, and this is our future!!! it’s exciting to interview young gay artists making an impact on our world Ricky Rebel, and the world being passed down to the future generation. And what a privilege to have stars of international status and profile, such as our conversation with Keira Knightly to carry a flag for our community, and to choose roles which expose the humanity of our people and which tells the real stories of our lives. I want to thank everyone for an amazing pride 2018. This year was amazing and we had loads of fun. As we continue this year let’s remember to love one another and we are all on the plant together.

Lambda Legal in Atlanta Lambda Legal has led a fight for justice, bringing our community closer to equality than ever before. Today, our progress is threatened as our opponents argue cases all the way to the Supreme Court in their attempt to establish exemptions from our laws or use our constitution as a weapon against LGBT equality. We have been here before. And, we know what to do. Lambda Legal is doubling-down on a promise we made 45 years ago. Our history of fighting institutionalized injustice helped spawn a deeply committed, politically connected, and proudly vocal community that stands up to intolerance. Together, we channel our power – and always make it a party – to fight for and win our rights. Please join Lambda Legal in Atlanta, to celebrate and advance our important work in this critical year!

Circuit Festival Takes Over Miami This Thanksgiving
...with 4 days & nights of Massive Kiki-ing including a Steamy Beach Party on the Sands of South Beach By Paul Hutnick Circuit Festival, the world’s biggest international gay event, crosses the Atlantic and debuts in Miami this Thanksgiving weekend. That’s when thousands of men from around the globe will flock to the sun drenched shores of South Beach for a massive four night, three day spectacular. “We are thrilled to introduce the world’s biggest international gay event to the states this year,” says producer Luis Morera. Circuit Festival - also known as Circuit Festival Barcelona - is Europe’s largest gay festival. Since 2008, it has been held annually in Barcelona. The Miami event begins November 22nd with a welcome cocktail reception on the rooftop of the Clevelander Hotel, followed by a colossal opening night extravaganza featuring the music of DJs Maikol Venek and Ana Paula. The weekend continues through the 26th with Matinee’s infamous Pervert Party on Friday. It storms into Club Space with music by DJs Lydia Sanz (from Spain) and Tom Stephan (UK). Then, on Saturday, everyone will get soaking wet at the Clevelander Hotel pool party before heading over to the mammoth 36,000 square foot Soho Studios for the American Football-themed “Matinee Champions” event, with music by DJ-producers Isaac Escalante and Phil Romano. On Sunday, its time to break out the Speedos once more for the La Leche Beach Party, Circuit Festival’s signature event. It takes places on the sands of Lummus Park at 11th Street from 1pm to 9pm sharp and will feature performances by some of the world’s hottest dancers — including many flying in from Spain — and beats by international DJs Taito Tikaro and Dan Slater. Following the beach party is the weekend’s closing blow-out: a Thunderdome theme event with music by DJs Ivan Gomez (Spain) and Grammy Award Nominee Abel Aguilera. Circuit Festival could have held the four day festival in any major city but chose Miami for its beaches and thriving nightlife. “Also, the weather is incomparable to any city in the USA, especially in November,” adds producer Billy Kemp. He and Morera own and operate Score Bar, the iconic South Beach club that is celebrating twenty years in business this year. Rounding out the Circuit Festival Miami production team is Hilton Wolman, a longtime South Florida resident who launched his nightlife career with the infamous Salvation nightclub. He continues to create events under its name and today, the Salvation brand is featured at events in various cities including Washington DC and Atlanta. A portion of the proceeds from Circuit Festival Miami will benefit Miami Beach Pride, a not-for-profit organization that works to unite members of the LGBTQ community by celebrating the unique spirit and culture of its people. “We want everyone to know that Circuit Festival Miami will be fresh and exciting and it will help return Miami to its rightful place as the gay party capital of the USA,” says an exuberant Wolman. Circuit Festival Miami takes place Thursday, November 22 through Sunday, November 26. The host hotel is the Clevelander Hotel (1020 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach).

Jack Tracy Urges Gay Nation to
Unite... and Vote By Jorge Trevino Jack Tracy’s new song, “Time Travel” is a call to action that urges the nation to stand together and make their blue voices heard on November 6. “The song is a direct response to this nonsense about making America great again,” the out musician explains. “Let’s be clear, that mantra is coded language, dripped in nostalgia. The truth about this so-called great America of the past, is that minority communities, including the LGBT community, were suffering.” “Time Travel” is the third release from Jack Tracy’s Older EP, following “Satisfaction” and the album’s title track, and is available on iTunes and everywhere digital music is sold. “The MAGA camp wants to turn back the clock on our LGBTQ rights,” Jack Tracy continues, “so unless you want our marriages nullified, our ability to adopt eliminated, our right to walk freely into any restaurant or bar stripped, civil rights of our trans brothers and sisters erased, or our ability to get insured limited...it’s time to wake up, step up and prepare for real action—at the ballot box. If you cannot find one hour to get your ass to the polls on November 6, you are complicit in allowing this nonsense to continue.” “Time Travel” is an 80’s Prince-inspired saga track with a militaristic, unified beat. The music video is a direct nod to Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation”. “I choreographed the video and incorporated a handful of moves straight from Janet’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ video,” Tracy acknowledges. “The whole while, I had her pledge in mind: We are a nation of like-minded individuals sharing a common vision.” It’s true that there are more blues than reds. Trump’s approval rating is at 44%, however republicans have historically been more focused and dedicated to supporting their candidates at the polls. According to Tracy, ”We have the chance to end this nightmare once and for all.” He says that while he has always been politically minded — “ to be gay means you are politically minded” — he has never been more so than today. “The current administration has ignited a deep well of anger in me that I carry every day. The thought that there are some in the country that think Trump is good for America is appalling.” The plight of the refugees has impacted Jack Tracy most significantly. “After these people fled their homes by taking a dangerous journey, often hundreds of miles, leaving everything they knew for the chance to possibly live a life free from gang violence and drug cartels, we ripped their children away from them. We sent parents back to their countries, some likely to their deaths, and we kept their children. In tent cities. In cages. Many will grow up never knowing what happened to their parents. It is heartbreaking, and it was done to them by the United States of America.” Jack Tracy is the founder and owner of Necessary Outlet, a film production company that produces LGBT web series including the fiftytime festival selection and award winner, History, a show that stars Tracy as a 30-something gay lawyer, fresh out of a break up and looking to rebuild his life. Other notable works: Millennial Memoir, a comedic riff on a 26 year-old gay reality star looking to write his life story, and Big Law, a comedic “Office”-type show that Tracy makes occasional cameos in. He is currently filming the third season of History – due out early next year — and his first full-length film, Snowflake, is primed to enter the festival circuit by year’s end. Like “Time Travel,” the film was born out of frustration from the 2016 US election. It tells the story of a group of gay men and their friends and how they deal with a looming threat to LGBTQ rights spawned by a recent presidential election. Tracy wrote Snowflake last year and its Supreme Court subplot has proven eerily prophetic. “The film takes a look at the state of the world through an LGBTQ lens and makes us wonder what, if anything, any of us would — or will — do to stop the insanity.” Jack Tracy’s “Time Travel” is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal.
