An Unholy Trinity
Coinciding with World AIDS Day, Thom Fitzgerald's cinematic triptych presents three disparate yet complementary stories about how this indiscriminate disease afflicts individuals, communities, and societies on three continents in very different ways. Based on writer/director Fitzgerald's experiences in China, South Africa, and the West (specifically Canada), 3 Needles portrays the AIDS pandemic on a scale that is alternately intimate and sweeping. As a result, the film is irresistibly watchable and ultimately disturbing. More

Shopping For The Gift That Gives Twice
A couple weeks ago, as I walked down Castro Street, my eye was drawn to two skateboards in a shop window, one blue and one green, both with a simple white Hawaiian floral pattern. I stopped and scanned the front window display of a modern home wares and gifts store. I was hooked. I’ve been getting my hair cut at a salon near this store, Under One Roof on Castro Street near 18th Street, for the past year, but somehow I had passed by without ever noticing it before. I’m not sure how that is possible, but it’s true. A place like this should not be ignored. More

or Tidy Bubbles?
Many folks hosting you this summer at the Russian River were once corporate executives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Without any prior hands-on experience in the hospitality industry, they somehow got the notion that becoming an innkeeper in the wine country would be just the thing that could fulfill them.

A Temperate Climate for LGBT Entrepreneurs
When we describe San Francisco to outsiders, one thing we often forget to mention is how easy it is to be gay here. The truth is, we are so comfortable being openly gay that we don't think of it as a unique aspect of our environment any more. More

The cure for saccharine summer fare
The 30th San Francisco International LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Transsexual, and Transgender) Film Festival kicks off on June 15 with one of the largest selection of films the festival has ever seen. 266 films from 33 countries will be screened over the course of ten days of screenings (June 15 - June 25). Unquestionably, it’s been a remarkable year for queer cinema with the ascent of Brokeback Mountain and Transamerica. A number of the films included in Frameline 30 show the potential to appeal not only to the LGBT community, but a much larger audience. More
