San Diego Gay and Lesbian News

If anything can be said about Ricky Rebel it’s that he doesn’t discriminate when it comes to 80’s pop royalty and that can be easily heard  in his new release “If You Were My Baby.”

Equal parts Prince, Michael Jackson, and David Bowie, this track invokes those late artists while adding that familiar dance-synth vibe that is purely Rebel.

Kathy Kosins is no stranger to music. She has a fanbase which extends around the globe, and once you listen to her perform you will see why The Chicago Tribune called her “One of the most alluring voices in jazz.”

There is a whole untapped mainstream genre that goes virtually ignored in the LGBT community: horror movies.

I have spoken to many people who absolutely love them, but you would be hard-pressed to find a critic who says our LGBT brothers and sisters are being portrayed accurately if at all. 

Love (desired, experienced and abandoned) is explored in many age and gender configurations in Stephen Metcalfe’s “Loves And Hours,” playing through July 2 at Scripps Ranch Theatre.

The 50ish Dan Tilney (Francis Gercke) serves as a sort of commentator/Greek chorus/narrator for this amatory roller-coaster. (Gercke is also the show’s director.)

As San Diego prepares for its participation in the Equality March on Washington, it will be a great week to get out in the community and have fun, discuss the future and be undivided.

FilmOut presents San Diego LGBT Film Festival

Trixie Mattel has something to tell you about her childhood and she’s going to let it all fly this month at Martinis Above Fourth.

The Season seven Drag Race contestant has a one-woman show she is bringing to San Diego called “Ages 3+ Up.”

I talked to Trixie about what she thinks of this season of Drag Race, and what she has been doing since her 2015 television debut.

McDonalds, one of the biggest fast food chains in the world has given their famous French fries a Pride makeover in honor of National Equality March in Washington DC this month and one conservative social media blogger is salty over the project.

I love surprises. I thought “The Spitfire Grill” would be just another yee-haw country/western musicale about life in a small town. I’m happy to report that it’s a lot more than that.

Based on the 1996 film starring Alison Elliott, Ellen Burstyn and Marcia Gay Harden and set to music by James Valcq and Fred Alley, this is a show about life, love and second chances.

Remember Faust, who sold his soul to the devil for knowledge and worldly pleasures? Well, wouldn’t you know, somebody saw a baseball story in that.

It’s called “Damn Yankees” (my feeling exactly, but I could say that equally about every sports team), and San Diego Musical Theatre presents the 1955 musical through June 18 at the Spreckels Theatre.
