Serving, Protecting and Looking Back: San Francisco City Cop Seen
This guy was cruising the Mission district, looking for trouble when he looked into the eye of the camera. No flesh eye contact here ever, but the gaze persists. I see you seeing me seeing you. Do you see? An arresting stare that begins, and ends…right there.

More Gai Comi. Bear and Rabbit. Happy Manga Bara Bunny New Year!
Bara Bunny
Big Black Bara has his way with scared little white whabbit. Japan and China meet, and not for the first time. Italy watches, takes notes. America looks on. Happy New Year 4079…or 2011. Depending.
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy New Year of the Bara Rabbit.
Year of the Rabbit
Happy New Year 4079! Rabbits signify virility in many Asian cultures because of their notorious propensity to breed. Vigor! Ardor! Potency! That’s about what “Dead Rabbits” meant in 19th c. NYC. Not such a strange name for a street gang after all. It would translate to “straight-up fucker” in today’s lexicon. I am DEAD serious.

Kids these Days! San Francisco’s Mission High School’s Out Gay Wrestler Jaime Loo
Mission High School's Jaime Loo. Via BAR
Jaime Loo attends Mission High School in San Francisco where he is captain of the wrestling team. He is also gay. Loo, 17, a transplant from Panama, has found a supportive environment in his new country, at his school and on his team. He credits his involvement in wrestling for giving him the strength to be himself. He says: “Wrestling has played a big role in my life…it gave me self-confidence. It made me more responsible for myself and for my body. The confidence level on how possible everything is has changed me.” Read sports writer Roger Brigham’s column on Loo in this week’s Bay Area Reporter.

InMediaRes is a Media Commons project that provides a forum for on-line scholarship and critical engagement with the emerging media reformulations of the Book. Each week, a scholar or team curates a short video clip or slide show of still images and presents it with a short, critical, impressionistic response. Other scholars respond with commentary.
This week, Michael O’Rourke and Karin Sellberg of The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh curate the Work of John Cameron Mitchell. With three feature films to his credit, Mitchell is finally generating the volume of critical response he has long deserved. To read the commentary and join the conversation, click here.

Gay Eqypt: Report from the Streets – “enough police brutality and torture!” #JAN25
From GayEgypt.com: “27 January Egypt update: El Baradei expected to arrive from Vienna at 19.15 Cairo international airport terminal 3. Protests already restarted today in Halwan, Cairo, and Ismailia. I can personally verify that on each road leading into Tahrir Square police in vans are already waiting (as of 1pm) for anticipated protesters. If I had to put a number I would say around 100, including those inside vans, at the entrance of each street into the main square.
I saw a large number of police at other points including Medan Opera. Plain clothes officers also waiting and a few already carrying long sticks
Last night police blocked all access to parts of Tahrir Square after 9pm. Hundreds of shield and baton wielding recruits ran from one suspected point of protest to another. Plain clothes officers redirected pedestrians while others carried large sticks, and beat some who failed to escape from repeated small protests near to the Corniche. Even onlookers were effected by a cloud of tear gass. We hope to post some photographs shortly.Egypt’s gay and lesbian community has had enough of years of police brutality and torture and GayEgypt.com calls on all lesbians and gays to join their brothers and sisters on the street to peacefully express their demand for immediate change.”
