Lord Consort XXVII Tim Lott as "Gargoyles" - Bal Masque 2010

Gay Highwaymen visits New Orleans for Mardi Gras! This site will be reporting live from NOLA from now through Fat Tuesday. The traditions of Mardi Gras are many and obscure. Krewes, King Cakes, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Coconuts, Boeuf Gras, Flambeaux and of course, the Bal Masque with its Tableaux. Gay Highwaymen will attend the Lords of Leather Bal Masque on Sunday night. The Lords of Leather describe themselves as the only Leather oriented Mardi Gras Krewe in the world. On a previous trip, the Princes of Perversion made us feel very welcome. These sexy young royals are the NOLA arm of the Radical Faeries. They will show their colors at Sunday’s Bal. As will we…

This guy moved like a twangy old country music tune. Slow, strong and regular. Horseless cowboy traveling California State Highway 101 by truck, he stopped to buy smokes. Got shot in the back and never knew it. One, two, three: Snap!

Gas stops provide ample opportunity for observing local wildlife in its own environment. These specimens were recorded in mid-May, 2010 in Kansas at a “Kum-N-Go” on the I-80. For a candid photo of the seldom-seen Middle American Humpy Striped Gas-Guzzler, click here.

Earthquakes, Chile and Queer Spirit: Aidan Dunn preaches at MCCSF.

Posted on April 5, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The following is from Aidan Dunn of San Francisco. Aidan is a junior in Religious Studies at Stanford University and has recently returned from a semester in Chile, where he worked with MOVILH – the Movement for the Integration and Liberation of Lesbian Gay and Transgender People in Chile.

Dear Friends,

I have agreed to preach at the Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco (MCCSF) about my experiences (spiritual and otherwise) in Chile, pre-and post-earthquake, on Sunday, 11 April, 2010. It would be great to see you there! Services are at 11am and 7pm…

MCCSF is located at 150 Eureka St, x 18th St., in the Castro, San Francisco. For directions, or more information about the church, please go to www.mccsf.org.

MCCSF is an interfaith queer spiritual community. The 11am service is more “traditional” Christian worship with traditional hymns; the evening is more high-energy, gospel-style music, and more interfaith. It would be great to see you at either one; please let me know if you can come! I hope I can put together a sermon that will make the trip worth your while…

Best Regards,

Aidan Dunn
