Things That Make You Go
Hmmm…

Mama Don’t Preach
We Belong Together
Featuring six of its cereals and mascots dubbed “All Together,” Kellogg’s has released a new inclusion breakfast option to support GLAAD‘s current anti-bullying campaign and to honor National Spirit Day. Available for limited time, the purple-packaged box will include Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, and Frosted Mini Wheats. Kellogg’s has pledged to donate $50,000 USD to GLAAD in support of the group’s efforts. “We all belong together,” Kellogg’s said in a statement. “So for the first time in history, our famous mascots and cereals are offered exclusively together in the same box for All Together Cereal. It’s a symbol of acceptance no matter how you look, where you’re from or who you love.”
Former Republican Georgia-state lawmaker Betty Price, the wife of former Health Secretary Tom Price, said people living with HIV should be quarantined. Yes, she went there! “It’s almost frightening, the number of people who are living that are carriers with the potential to spread,” Price said during a Georgia health care hearing. “Whereas in the past, they died more readily, and at that point they’re not posing a risk. I don’t want to say the quarantine word—but I guess I just said it.”

The gays have incubated and developed major cultural trends— and sexy Halloween costumes are no different. The sexual liberation of the 1970s brought with it gay visibility and a newfound sense of freedom. Gay parades in areas like Greenwich Village and Key West started to emerge — and with them, sexy costumes. Lesley Bannatyne, author of “Halloween. An American Holiday, An American History,” and “Halloween Nation,” told Bustle, “The fantastical gay parades of the ‘60s and ‘70s showed the rest of the adult world how outrageous costumes could be. Halloween costumes often push at the boundaries of what we’ll accept for everyday reality. Sexuality could be expressed.” Source: CNN.com

Jeff Graham, executive director of Georgia Equality, condemned the comments: “It shows the amount of work that still needs to happen to educate elected officials on the reality of the lives of people living with HIV. I’m hoping Representative Price would be open to sitting down, meeting with folks, hearing how those comments sound and recognizing that’s not the direction we need to go in.” Price is currently trying to reclaim her political seat in Georgia.

Scream Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street
Florida Premiere /USA / 2019 / 100 min / English / Documentary Friday, Nov 1, 8pm at Savor Cinema
Special Guests: actor Mark Patton, directors Roman Chimienti and Tyler Jensen
In 1985, Mark Patton landed the lead in the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster ilm A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. It was a dream come true, putting him on track to become a young Hollywood star. But instead Patton found himself facing a stark reality: he was a young, closeted gay man starring in a subversively queer ilm that was maligned by fans, and failed at the box of ice. He retreated from show business and left the country, unaware of the growing reappraisal of Freddy's Revenge and the cult status it achieved in the years following its dismissal. Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street brings Patton out of hiding after 30 years, inally ready to embrace the ilm and confront his own demons by telling his story. Detailing
the homophobia and Aids-phobia of 1985 as a closeted actor in Hollywood, Mark retraces his missteps on the pathway to stardom. He hits the road to set the record straight about the controversial sequel and the experience that halted his career before it even began. Confronting the cast and crew for the irst time, Mark attempts to make peace with his past as well as embrace his legacy as cinema's irst male scream queen. The documentary also examines how attitudes towards the controversial sequel have changed along with the social mores of both Hollywood and society. Interviews with celebrities, ilm historians, local Fort Lauderdale industry personalities, and the original cast and crew — including costars Robert Rusler, Kim Myers and Clu Gulager, as well as Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund — round out this exploration into how the gayest horror ilm of all time ever got made. Full of wonderful ilm clips and celebrities, this is a de iant and triumphant story that nonetheless cautions today's LGBTQ community that the nightmare isn't over. It was a pleasure to sit down with Mark Patton for this exclusive Hotspos Interview:
How old were you when you decided you wanted to be an Actor?
I began acting professionally when I was 14. But I had always performed in plays and what not as a child. I moved to New York City at 17 and my career took off pretty quickly.
How was it to make “Come Back to the Five and Dime,
Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean,” as you were so young? And of course I have to ask, how was it to work with Cher?
I grew up watching Cher on TV, so I loved her a lot. The whole experience was magical….Cher, Kathy Bates, Karen Black, Sandy Dennis….It was a great way to start!
How did you get cast in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, and how was the filming for you?
Traditional casting…. I just auditioned, like another job interview. It was very exciting at the time to get the lead in a movie, and I got the part in 2 days. It was wonderful to make the movie as the lead. I was doing what I had loved to do and was treated very well. The movie got good reviews and it was a successful movie when it irst came out.
After the movie, you were told you would have to stay in the closet to become a big star, and you refused, why?
I left Hollywood because I thought it was hypocritical. The AIDS Crisis was going on and it impacted Hollywood tremendously, but Hollywood didn't want to deal with it. They offered me the opportunity to go in the closet, but I was not willing to do it. I lost too many friends and I needed to be me!
In your 40's, you moved to Mexico, and met and married your husband Hector. Tell me about how you met and your relationship?
We met through mutual friends and we hit it off after the irst date. We have been married for 15 years. I have an entire Mexican family that I love. I am so happy with my life now. Hotspots.LGBT | 79
In 2015, right here is South Florida, there was the first reunion for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, how was that for you?
I had signed a contract with Comic-con the year prior so I had been traveling the world for about a year. It was interesting to be in that environment, and to see some of my coworkers from so many years earlier.
How satisfying was it to finally get David Chaskin to finally admit and apologize for writing the script with a gay undertones? (David had always said he
didn't write it with undertones and it was Marks interpretation) He didn't really apologize as he said, “If you feel I did anything to hurt you, I apologize.” I accepted it as I didn't want to make him look any worse than the truth. I just wanted the truth out.
How was it to make the documentary Scream Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street, and did it come out as you hoped/wanted?
It took 3 years to edit as.there were 70 edits. This movie was produced and inanced by 3 people and a Kickstarter fund. We knew it would be a powerful teaching tool, and we knew we would have a beautiful ilm to give to people. We are on the road now showing it in ilm festivals in hopes to sell this to a major ilm company to get it out to the world. We were offered a lot of money for the ilm, but we had to sign away the rights and we refuse to do that. However, since then, we have been fortunate enough to get multiple offers, so we are excited.
Are you excited to be coming back to Fort Lauderdale for FLIFF?
Oh yes, before I moved to Mexico I lived and worked in Palm Beach, and I love south Florida. It will be nice to see all my friends and get a nice warm breeze in my bones. I am excited.

His neighbor & new sweetheart, Lisa discover the truth behind Fred Krueger and his horrible murder spree.

What's ahead for Mark?
I have no idea. I have been offered a lot of opportunities that I turned down, but I did say yes to a movie that I just completed called “1Dead Dog.” I am going to let my life take me wherever it is supposed to.
