Memorial Day
While you are at the beach, a BBQ or just relaxing during this Memorial Day, remember that this day isn't just the traditional beginning of Summer, it's a day to honor all of the brave men and women who have died while in the Armed Services. With 10% of the population estimated to be Gay and Lesbian, that means that a great many of the fallen were part of our community.

Liberace, Super-Queen!
In honor of HBO's "Behind the Candelabra" I've put together a special Liberace photo spread. As easy as it may be to laugh at Liberace's over the top super-camp style and his freakish plastic surgery, remember that he was an unapologetic effeminate gay man in the entertainment industry 6 decades before Adam Lambert.

An article in the Daily
Mirror in 1956, mentioned that Liberace was "…the summit of sex—the
pinnacle of masculine, feminine, and neuter. Everything that he, she, and it
can ever want… a deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated,
scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavoured, mincing,
ice-covered heap of mother love", a not so subtly way to imply that
Liberace was homosexual without actually using the word homosexual.
Liberace sent a telegram that
read: "What you said hurt me very much. I cried all the way to the
bank."
For more about Liberace's relationship with Scott Thorson, check out "Behind the Candelabra."
