Donald Sutherland

Donald Sutherland & Jane Fonda

Here is a photo of Donald Sutherland & Jane Fonda on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA. As you recall they starred in Klute together. 

Donald Sutherland was very much a part of my movie going experience growing up. Don't Look Now and Ordinary People come to mind. Klute I have yet to see and is on my list.

Thanks for the memories...

Michael Shinafelt


Don't pretend you're not hungry I've seen it before...It's Pride Month and let's keep celebrating and getting up in everyone's grill. Tis the season after all and keep on doing it all year round.

Be Proud of who you and what you are don't stop ever!!! Let's start moving your collective feet and come on over to Daddy Michael...

No one speaks of lip gloss anymore, this truly saddens me

When I'm quiet people who know ME think: OMG! He's thinking! Everyone run for your life!

If the highest position in American government can be held by a felon, then felon needs to be removed from all job and rental applications as well as personal certifications, the more you know

In case you haven't heard Justin Timberlake got arrested for a DUI

My dick has led me to places I wouldn't even go with a gun, that's all

The moment you realize the next 5 months spell J-A-S-O-N (Friday the 13th fans rejoice!)

Rewatched John Waters Cecil B Demented the other day on Tubi "Demented Forever!"

You are loved, accepted and celebated just as you are


Woman Crush of the Week - Marsha P. Johnson without her we wouldn't have Pride

Raise you hands if you like hot boys (mine is up)

Hump Day & Chill

Anna Nicole Smith

After viewing an Anna Nicole Smith documentary on Netflix recently, and also that Pride Month is still in full tilt boogie. I felt a combination of two of my favorite things would be in order.

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to LGBTQ ally Anna in the West Hollywood Pride Parade in 2005.

Anna was always on when she was in public and then some. The one take away I had of her was despite the many thoughts and opinions others had, is she was a genuinely a sweet and loving soul.

Her support of the community was 100% sincere as was her love of others in general.

Hump Day & Chill Anna your rainbow flag will forever wave.

Ally


Did you ever think when the initial series of Child's Play movies came out that as the "Chucky" franchise evolved that Chucky himself would become an LGBTQ ally? Well that he did!

Chucky's kid is Genderfluid and if there's on thing he will do, he will support the LGBTQ Community. 

Like Chucky states "I'm a villain, not a monster"

Keep showing your Pride Minions!

Arms Around America

Fostering dialogue around pressing social issues in the U.S., Dan Froot & Company (DF&Co) is a Los Angeles-based theater troupe known for their collaborative approach to theater-making, and for positioning art at the center of civic discourse. For their latest project, Arms Around America, the group explores the stories of real families from around the country whose lives have been shaped by guns.
