Milk
A fascinating film about one of the first openly gay political leaders in the United States. Actually, one of the first ever. He was a polarizing figure, but in the light of time he was probably the most courageous politician in US history. A new film, but a classic. |

But I'm a Cheerleader
Yeah this film is funny as hell, but it savagely attacks the notion that homosexuality is something to be "cured." Side question: Where the hell has Natasha Lyonne been these days? She is awesome.

Wolf Nipple Foofaraw!
The Wolf Nipple Foofaraw is about 4 things: one, getting people together to sing and play music in a big, fun, noisy, group whether they think they can sing or play music or not. Two, getting to know great songs, great songwriters the best way possible: playing their songs. Three, suggesting that the "folk" in "folk music" is an ever changing, evolving group of people with many different backgrounds and many, many, many different songs on heavy rotation in the mental jukebox. Four, the Wolf Nipple Foofaraw is about having a good time singing, dancing, and playing.

Brokeback Mountain
Two star-crossed lovers. The story tells itself over and over again, but this was arguably the first "hit" movie dealing with a male homosexual relationship. It's a really good movie, but was it really as groundbreaking as its reputation suggests? If you haven't seen it, come check it out, and start a conversation. |

Don't let the sweltering summer stop you from being dazzled by our very special Queerbaret.
Come swoon to the likes of sultry lounge singers encased in sequins and boas, buxom burlesque beauties shimmying to the likes of glowing hoola hoops and classic Phil Collins. Come belly-laugh to our raunchy jokes as you feel yourself floating back to eras gone by.
Let us croon to you, let us shake you down to your joyous queer heart in this modern rendition of a classic Cabaret. Come out early to mingle with the performers, stay late to trip the light fantastic with us on the dance floor... and inevitably leave with several new crushes.
Costumes strongly cheered on!
