Room For Squares
Gay Relationships. What makes them work, what makes them not work? Are they any different from straight relationships? If the answer is yes, how so? Far from being an expert on the subject, I set out on a quest to find out by asking a few people I know. Some have been in long-term relationships, others have been in many relationships for a short time. All of them, however, have a distinct view on what it means to be queer and dating in this day and age. More

Community Gets a Hand from PG&E
Like every community, San Francisco’s LGBT community has dealt with its share of problems, often with help from various non-profit organizations. Nowadays, with successful films like An Inconvenient Truth and The 11th Hour sbringing an increased awareness to the global climate crisis, the environment has been added to what was an already long list of issues. As our community prepares to respond, it has found a new ally in PG&E. More

Room for Squares
In the aftermath of outdoor celebrations like the Folsom Street Fair and the annual Lovefest, and in the face of the upcoming Castro Street Fair, which seek to highlight our communities of inclusion, I’d like to take some time to pay tribute to that often overlooked and underappreciated female that’s a part of every gay man’s youth. No, not your mother. Your fag hag. More

Room for Squares
The disco lights were flashing. The fog machine in full effect. Music was blaring from the speakers and the crowd was bouncing happily along. A stranger grabbed my wrist and whispered the sweetest nothing in my ear, “Hi, I think you’re the most beautiful looking thing here.” Aside from feeling somewhat like I was in an outdoor market, I was in heaven. Then all of a sudden…kerplunk: “Where are you from?” More

Women Breaking Barriers and Radical Harmonies
Photographer Robert Altman has just released a book of photographs called The Sixties, which he aims to be a tome indicative of the free-thinking, politically charged decade. But in addition to being a time of social unrest as manifested by the politically charged music of the time, it was also a time of great change for women as well. More

Room For Squares
We gay guys do a lot of complaining about how impossible it is to find a quality guy in the city. Take a few minutes to check out some posts on Craigslist and you’ll get a taste of what I’m talking about. Every other user seems to bemoan the “fact” that there are just no more men of quality out there. Where are these people looking? More

Room For Squares
Elementary school sex ed used to tell us that there were three distinct categories of sexual identity: heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality. I already knew about heterosexuality and I had an inkling about what homosexuality was thanks to playground banter, but the idea of bisexuality was completely foreign at the time and to this day, despite its prevalence, remains an enigma.

The Imp of Satan
The tradition of the midnight movie goes as far back as the 50s, when local television stations would screen genre films often made with extremely low budgets and for extremely late night audiences. There was often a host that would serve as both a guide for the night’s activities and deliverer of ironic asides. It is a tradition that for 10 years has been upheld by San Francisco’s own Queen of the Night, Peaches Christ, and it is about to experience an even newer spin at the hands of Flynn Witmeyer and his film Imp of Satan.

Room For Squares
San Francisco is famous for many things -- for fog and for hills, for the TransAmerica building, the Golden Gate Bridge and Chinatown. It’s a city known for its policy of free love with hippies and flower children. And being the city with the highest population of LGBT inhabitants per capita, it also has the reputation for being the "Gay Mecca". But as more and more gay friendliness pervades other areas of the city, many people are beginning to question whether or not the Castro is still necessary. More

We’re lucky to live in San Francisco, where everywhere we turn there’s some new gay dance party. In a city with such disparate tastes, there can be no other way. But quantity doesn’t always translate into quality. More
