NEW GAY IN TOWN: THE GREAT DIVIDE By Brandon Lee

retty much every every major city in United States has a racially divided gay scene. Certain clubs attract more white gays, and certain clubs cater to the black gays. It’s like this everywhere. I’ve always preferred the mixed crowds. Diversity has always been a huge part of my life. All my best

It’s no secret that Atlanta is a racially divided city.

friends are different races. In high school my four best friends and I called ourselves “Diverse Group” since we were a group of five guys and girls, gay and straight, black, white, Mexican, Japanese, and Filipino. The very first guy I ever hooked up with was Lebanese. I’ve never felt the need to stick with my race, or felt limited to only date/engage with

my own race I’m black, but never even had a black friend until I went to college. So it’s been a bit odd moving to Atlanta and interacting with black gay men that do tend to only date/hookup with other black gays, and only go to the black gay clubs.

When I first moved to Atlanta, I was flirting and chatting with some locals. I wanted to have guys ready to meet up with as soon as I moved here. One was this cute, black, chubby, bearded guy. He called me on one of my first nights in the city. Normally I hate talking to guy on the phone before meeting, since talking on the phone before meeting is a waste of my time. If you want to chat, then we can do it over drinks/the dinner you just bought us. I don’t get shit out of chatting on the phone. Anyway, I decided not to ignore his call. We began chatting. He immediately could tell by my voice that my dating history wasn’t very black. The truth is that although I have been with white, black, Asian, Latino, and Middle Eastern guys, like 75% of the guys I’ve been with were white. This guy wasn’t the first black guy I could tell immediately lost interest in me as soon as I said that most of my dating/sexual history has been with white men. I’ve been turned off and apprehensive about pursuing a guy after finding

out I’m not his type. So maybe that’s why some men lose interest in discovering that the person they’re going on a date with doesn’t usually date the group the fit into. Most black gay men I’ve met do seem to either only date black or are very anti-black men. I think every black person in America has racial issues. It does seem like only a small minority does date every race and is equal opportunity. I do think many black gay men do pursue other black guys because there is more familiarity, relatability, and comfort. Plus with living in a racist society, it’s easier to connect with someone that can relate to the struggle of existing as a minority among a racist majority. I did only just start dating black men last year. I think watching a bunch of black gay web series and seeing black gay couples made me more open to it. I have been guilty of internalized racism. Though I never really lived anywhere with a large black gay population before Atlanta. I lived in mostly white areas, so I

tended to date mostly white men. As terrible as it sounds, I can relate to the dating profiles that say “not into black guys”. We live in a racist society with a media that is constantly reiterating that black people are the ugliest, poorest, dumbest, most violent, most criminal, and most diseased group of people. Are we supposed to be surprised that people may not want to date black people if this is all they’re taught about blackness? I’m black and I’ve been guilty of fearing blackness due to growing up in an area where there were barely any black people, and my only interactions with blackness were the media’s constantly degradation of blackness. I’m glad that I overcame my internalized racism and fear of blackness. If I hadn’t then I would be absolutely miserable in Atlanta.

Q-MUSIC: LGBTQ HISTORY MONTH PLAYLIST

2017

BY GREGG SHAPIRO

OCTOBER IS COMING. TIME TO PULL TOGETHER AN AMAZING LIST OF NEW OPTIONS TO CREATE YOUR LGBT MONTH PLAYLIST. t’s been more than 30 years since UK INeil duo Pet Shop Boys, led by out front-man Tennant, burst onto the music scene.

scuttled to the expanded Release).

Nightlife is notable for the heartbreaking “You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You’re Drunk”, the clubby “Closer To Heaven” (also featured in the stage musical of the same name, cowritten by PSB and Beautiful Thing playwright Jonathan Harvey) and the Village People homage “New York City Boy”. The Nightlife package includes two additional “Further Listening” discs with songs from 1996-2000. Easily one of the most daring and enduring albums in the PSB oeuvre, Releasefeatures The Smiths’ Johnny Marr (with whom Tennant collaborated on the Electronic sideproject), giving the material a new edge. PSB doesn’t abandon its trademark sound, simply augments it, as you can hear on “Home and Dry”, “I Get Along”, “You Choose” and Eminem jab “The Night I Fell In Love”. As with Nightlife, Release features two “Further Listening” discs with songs from 2001-2004. The third installment in the reissue series, Fundamental (featuring the brilliant “The Sodom and Gomorrah Show”) is a bit of a curiosity. When it was initially issued, the disc was available with the eight-songFundamentalism bonus disc. The “Further Listening” disc for the Fundamental reissue, consisting of 22 previously unreleased songs from 2005-2007, only includes a few fromFundamentalism (the Elton John duet on “In Private” has been

The Kele Okereke you hear on Fatherland (BMG/ The End) isn’t just vastly different from the one you heard when he was the openly gay front-man of art-punk band Bloc Party, but also unlike the one you heard on his solo albums, 2010’s The Boxerand 2014’s Trick. First of all, he’s no longer a onenamed artist. Gone are the synths and electronic beats, replaced by a more stripped-down approach. What you get is an honest to goodness organic s i n g e r/s o n gwr i t e r album with standouts including “You Keep On Whispering His Name”, “Streets Been Talkin’”, the flirty cabaret of “Capers”, the retro soul of “Do U Right”, the emotional “Savannah” and the stunning “Portrait”. That’s Olly Alexander (gay front-man of Years & Years) joining Okereke on “Grounds For Resentment” and Grammy-winner Corinne Bailey Rae on “Versions of Us”.

Early PSB hit singles, “West End Girls” and “Opportunities”, led us straight to the dance floor. The Dusty Springfield duet “What Have I Done To Deserve This?” became an instant classic and their reverent cover of Village People’s “Go West” took on new meaning when it was released in 1993 at the height of the AIDS era. PSB’s first five albums received the expanded reissue treatment in 2001 and three later releases – 1999’s Nightlife, 2002’s Release and 2006’s Fundamental (all on Parlophone/Rhino) – are getting their due. Each set contains remastered versions of the original discs, as well as “Further Listening” discs featuring demos, a variety of mixes, live tracks and more, some of which are either previously unreleased or heretofore unreleased on CD.

It’s unfortunate what bisexual popstar Kesha had to go through regarding her legal battle with music Svengali Dr. Luke. At the end of the day, however, she has emerged a better, more mature and original artist than she was while under his thumb. Her new album Rainbow (RCA), which is as celebratory as it is serious, is a career high point. Anthemic and empowering numbers such as “Bastards”, “Let ‘Em Talk” (featuring Eagles of Death Metal), “Woman” (featuring The Dap-Kings Horns), “Hymn”, “Praying”, “Learn To Let Go” and the title tune are good examples of making the personal universal and many of her LGBTQ fans are sure to find something to relate to in her struggles. Kesha even unleashes her inner cowgirl on “Boots”, “Hunt You Down”, “Spaceship” and “Old Flames (Can’t Hold A Candle To You)”, a duet with Dolly Parton co-written by Kesha’s mother Pebe Sebert.

There may be some Grizzly Bear fans who will struggle with the more accessible (read:

commercial) sound of Painted Ruins (RCA/ Grizzly Bear Music) and that’s to be expected. Ever since openly gay front-man Ed Droste released the first Grizzly Bear album Horn of Plenty as a solo artist (before being joined by band members Daniel Rossen, Christopher Bear and Chris Taylor), there has been an ongoing evolution of sound from lofi to chamber pop and even inclusion in TV ads, giving the band some of its greatest exposure. In a way, it makes sense that Grizzly Bear’s first album for a major label would have a more wide-reaching musical appeal (even if the lyrics remain somewhat obscure). “Mourning Sound”, “Three Rings”, “Aquarian” and “Neighbors” could easily earn Grizzly Bear an even larger following.

We can now add out performer Tyler, the Creator to the queer rapper roster, especially due to the frankness of his buzzworthy new album Scum Fuck Flower Boy (Columbia). The most cited line, “I been kissing white boys since 2004” from “I Ain’t Got Time!” is especially notable given that just a few years ago, Tyler was considered homophobic due to the number of slurs he spat on his 2011 debut disc Goblin. Similarly, “Garden Shed”, with its references to “hiding” and a “garden shed for the garçons/and feelings that I was guarding”, is making an unexpected but welcome statement. Of course, time will tell how the hip-hop world will respond and the impact it will have on Tyler’s future creations.

You may be familiar with LP as a performer of her own songs on albums including 2001’s Heart Shaped Scar, 2004’sSuburban Sprawl and Alcohol or 2014’s Forever For Now. Or you may recognize her as Laura Pergolizzi, songwriter for other artists including Christina Aguilera and Rihanna. Either way, you don’t want to miss her fourth full-length album Lost On You (Vagrant/BMG). Aside from opening with “Muddy Waters”, featured in the devastating season four finale of Orange Is the New Black, it’s easy to understand why LP chose to record these songs herself rather than share them with others. She raises the roof with the stomping “No Witness”, explores her inner dance diva on “When We’re High” and “Up Against Me”, cuts deep on the emotional “Switchblade”, and deserves to have her own hits with songs including “Death Valley”, “Strange” and “Other People”.

KESHA PERFORMS ON SEPT. 29 IN ATLANTA AT COCA-COLA ROXY. GRIZZLY BEAR PERFORMS ON NOV. 14 IN ATLANTA AT TABERNACLE.

To this day, there are at least two musical genres – jazz and hiphop -- in which LGBTQ artists are still well in the minority. To be fair, that is changing rapidly, thanks to artists such as Gary Burton, Patricia Barber, Lea DeLaria and Andy Bey in jazz and Frank Ocean, Thee Satisfaction and Big Freedia in hip-hop.

Gay pianist and composer Fred Hersch’s new album has the fitting title Open Book (Palmetto) as it being released at the same time as his memoir Good Things Happen Slowly. Four of the seven tracks feature Hersch’s piano interpretations of the Benny Golson classic “Whisper Not”, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Zingaro”, Thelonious Monk’s “Eronel”, and even Billy Joel’s “And So It Goes”, which rounds out the disc. The original compositions include “The Orb”, “Plainsong” and the album’s epic centerpiece, “Through The Forest”, which clocks in at almost 20 minutes.

MAGIC MICHAEL: AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CARBONARO EFFECT’S MICHAEL CARBONARO BY GREGG SHAPIRO ith his mesmerizing and hilarious hidden camera W and practical joke series The Carbonaro Effect, now in its third season on truTV, out actor and

illusionist Michael Carbonaro keeps viewers (and his unwitting subjects) guessing. A whiz of a wizard, if ever there was, Carbonaro first crossed our gaydar as sex-obsessed Andy in the 2006 rom-com Another Gay Movie. But his greatest success and exposure has occurred through his longtime love of the magical arts on The Carbonaro Effect. Carbonaro is currently on a cross-country live performance tour bringing his effect to your part of the world. I spoke with him at the beginning of his tour in September 2017. Gregg Shapiro: How did you first become interested in -- and I want to pronounce it correctly -- prestidigitation? Michael Carbonaro: Oh, that’s really well done. GS: Thank you! MC: When I first moved to Los Angeles, eight years ago, and got to perform at The Magic Castle for the first time, I was working in the Parlour of Prestidigitation. So that was one I had to learn myself [laughs]. I do love that you gave it another name other than magic or illusion. Because it is a big umbrella for me, what illusion or magic or prestidigitation is. I began with, and still have, a love of special effects. I talk about this in my live show. A huge love of Halloween, costumes and make-up. I had no doubt that when I grew up, I wanted to be a make-up artist. I would buy make-up supplies at a local magic shop in Hicksville near where I grew up on Long Island. There were guys behind the counter who were showing real (magic) tricks. I

went there for the make-up and it was full of masks and puppets and gags and pranks and bloody things and zombies. It was theatrical too; there was stage make-up. It opened up this world where illusion is all of that. I became interested in magic from going to buy make-up supplies. Through magic, buying those tricks and trying them out on my friends, I noticed that I had a love for performing. If special effects brought me to magic, then magic brought me to performing. All three of those things are still just as strong as the other. I think they all tie together in the work I’m doing. I didn’t know whether I wanted to be an actor or special effects artist or magician. Well, how about if I do all three of those in the show? GS: Who are, or were, your illusionist heroes? MC: Excellent! Look at how this all comes together! My favorite illusion book of all time is by Tom Savini. It’s called Bizarro, later titled Grand Illusions. I love that it was called Bizarro! His book reads like a magic book. It’s the effect I need to make. I need it to look like this troll that’s running across the floor, so I have this trick platform and I slide it and this guy’s in a costume. First I show this, then I show that. It’s a magic book dealing with monsters, so that was it for me. Magic books and (David) Copperfield. Because he, more than anyone embodied this host of all these things that were magical. He would talk to the audience and be funny

and go off into some weird fantasy illusion and come back and do a silly little gag. I love that atmosphere that he created. GS: How would you say that your sleight of hand skills worked in your favor as a gay man? MC: Whoa! I don’t know if I’ve ever considered that question. There is something sexy about secrets, isn’t there? I wasn’t out in elementary school or junior high. But I started to find the right kinds of friends in high school. The music department in my high school was really tight knit and we did plays together and were in the chorus. GS: That was often the GSA before there were GSAs. MC: Exactly. Right [laughs]? As we used to call the wonderful theater where I’m from on Long Island – it was the Creative Ministries Performing Arts Center, now the Noel S. Ruiz Theater named for the man who ran it – we used to call it the Creative Ministries Coming Out Center [laughs]. I think John Waters talks about this, too, from his generation. It was better when you had to sneak around and come up with little plots or plans or however he put it. There was something about having a secret that was cool. I guess I was better at setting up secret situations and knew how to hide my tracks the way a magician would. Before I came out! GS: In addition to being the title of your show, you use the catchphrase, “the Carbonaro effect”. How did that catchphrase come into being? MC: I’ll be honest with you, this was a pitch from the network. And I’ll give it to them. All projects are always a changing and developing thing. You find what it is as you’re making it. I was certain that I wanted to call the show Michael Carbonaro: Trickster. I love the trickster character, I think he embodies what I do on the show. Like Bugs Bunny, poking you in the right direction, playing along with you, making you wonder. That made sense to me. When they first pitched it to me, I was like, “Oh, no, I don’t know!” I always had this weird thing with my last name. I always thought people wouldn’t remember it. It’s confusing. When I was 17, I used to perform as Michael Christopher. GS: Is Christopher your middle name or something? MC: Nope! Made it up. If David Kotkin can be David Copperfield, I’ll be Michael Christopher! In retrospect, it did sound a little like a hair salon. Now, that title became what it was we were trying to capture. That moment when an intelligent adult mind can be brought to a state where they wonder for a second if there’s a secret trap in the universe that they didn’t know existed and they believe that for a moment. Isn’t that beautiful? That’s the Carbonaro effect. GS: The Carbonaro Effect, the show, has as much to do with hidden cameras as it does with magic. Did you ever get to meet Allen Funt, the man behind the popular Candid Camera, one of the original shows of this kind? MC: I never did, but I watched his show a lot as a kid. I watched all the reruns of that show. You’re right, there’s a magic to that. A hidden camera falls under that hidden illusion we talked about. It’s like I’m hiding a camera secretly behind a mirror that doesn’t look like it could be there. That’s a magic trick. GS: You appear to make good use of your everyman appeal and improvisational skills on The Carbonaro Effect. Of the two, is there one that you rely on more than the other in the scenes on the show? MC: That’s a great question. It really is a weave

back and forth between those two. I think there’s meter somewhere. I would say that it depends on the moment. If someone is in that state where they need to be looking for clues as to what just happened, sometimes my best bet is just to look down and be in a state of amazement myself. That would be acting, processing the thought of something I just saw. That way I can afford them the private moment to do that themselves and react how they would. This is kind of a new thing we’re doing as the show develops over the seasons. If I think the person is going to get me first, I’ll be like, “Wait a minute! Is this like a freakin’ prank show? How did we get out here?” I will throw it out there first. Because if I’m clearly the only one who could have caused what just happened, then they start to doubt. So, there’s the acting again. The answer is it’s always a needle going back and forth between those two worlds. GS: How does your husband, (actor) Peter (Stickles), feel about magic and pranks? MC: He loves them! He loves the life. Our house has a gremlin puppet in it and an alien face-hugger and Jaws posters. Peter was in love with horror as much as I was as kid. We meet on that level. Peter travels with me to do the tour. There are acts he performs with me as a magician. GS: In addition to your TV gigs, you have also appeared in films, including “Another Gay Movie”, for which you received an acting award from L.A. Outfest. Do you have plans to do more acting? MC: Absolutely! Yes, a million percent. This show is serving so many aspects of things that I like to do. That’s a huge part of it, that acting energy. I look forward to having time in my schedule, but right now I’m pretty booked up. I look forward to having a oneman Broadway show and comedic sitcom work and films. I want to direct a horror film myself. GS: You are currently doing a series of live dates. What can people expect when attending one of your shows? MC: The best part about the live show, in the way that you were talking about Candid Camera, that energy of playfulness, that same world of non-mean-spirited fun…I talk about this in the live show. I regularly get a similar letter from fans thanking me and saying that my show is the only one on television that they watch with their entire family. That’s the same energy that comes through in these big, beautiful theaters across the country where I perform. The live show is a playful, all-ages show, with the same wry wit from the TV show. I’m loving it as much as the audiences. I’m having a blast. Also, just come and check out that it’s not all camera tricks. Every diehard fan wonders if it’s camera tricks. I say, “Get yourself a ticket, come on down and watch the magic!” GS: Finally, I live in Fort Lauderdale and we are speaking a few days after Hurricane Irma hit. We’ve been without power for almost a week. Do you think you might be able to work some magic on Florida Power & Light to get our electricity restored? MC: As a matter of fact, our tour is going to be giving some of the proceeds to Hurricane Irma. I have a wonderful charity, Hocus Focus, that I’ve been working with for the entire tour. It works with children with ADD and adults with learning disabilities. They use magic to help people overcome some of their hardships in focusing. The kids and the adults who do this program are inspired to learn the tricks by keeping their focus. They want to be able to learn it. It’s so beautifully successful for all parties involved. We’ve been donating strongly to them. On this tour, donations will be to them, as well as for hurricane relief. peachATL.com | 31

Momma said there’d be gays like this.... If Atlanta wasn’t a city full of bottoms the tops would be F*cked... Literally!

You cant be happy if you don’t make anything happen.

If at first you don’t succeed, keep sucking till you suck seed.

You know the neighborhood has gone down when you Armani store becomes an Armani Exchange

If you think no one would miss you if you were gone, try missing a car payment. Hey. You. You’re amazing. Shine on.

ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

LIBRA (Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You’ll be so charming today it’s like you’re a hero from a Disney cartoon. Some will fall for your act. But others know that, like all charades, this one will soon end, and Prince Charming will morph back into the fearsome ogre.

Turning down food will be your challenge today. Too much eating has made your waistline prominently noticeable. Lose weight through diet and exercise. It’s harder than shopping for mu-mu’s, but the sexy results will be worth it.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Flattery will get you everywhere today, so get busy with the backhanded compliments and false praise. You’ll pick up all-important social points as your self-respect slowly dies, but think of the parties you’ll be invited to!

Impatience could have you impulsive today, and you’ll make immature decisions. Think things out before acting today. The egg that hits you in the face won’t taste very good, and be impossible to wash out.

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun. 20)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Avoid overeating today, no matter how good it makes you feel. Discover other ways to deal with the blues that don’t involve pigging out. As it is, people are more likely to pity you for the rapid obesity than for what was originally bothering you.

Focusing on the smaller details will help you plow through your responsibilities today. When you’re done with those, go out to the parking lot and wash people’s cars, anything to get you through another mundane day.

CANCER (Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Today may be a good one for following through on things you’ve been putting off. Call all of the phone numbers you’ve received lately. If you receive a hearty greeting, you’re in. If they hang up immediately, you’ll know that five months is too long for a call back.

Let your feelings be known to your partner today. He may need to hear them, or he could be sick of hearing them. Either way, you won’t hesitate to let loose on why it’s all about you.

LEO (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Beware of getting stuck in the system today. You may not consider yourself a corporate shill, but everything you wear is emblazoned with your company’s logo. Losing your individuality is the first step to becoming a Stepford Wife, and you don’t look good in heels.

You sometimes get tired of hearing older guys talk about the past. They may seem like such simpler times, but you’re not sure if you want to live in a world without iPhone, Snapchat and Scruff. It seems so prehistoric.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

Dine at an unusual restaurant tonight, one that features exotic dishes with names you can’t pronounce. Be risky, and order something daring. It may be out of the norm, but how bad could curried octopus tentacles in oyster sauce really be?

Look for the signs that will tell you if he’s Mr. Right. If he prefers Mad Magazine over Harper’s, plagiarizes love letters from Hallmark cards and thinks Chevy’s is fine dining, he may not be the one for you.
