MILLA: THE BRAVE BRISBANE BOY’S STORY OF TRANSITION AND ACCEPTANCE By Rod Gardiner These days, video clips on social media are a dime a dozen. But now and then one pops up that is priceless. Such is the case with the inspirational video clip which recounts the story of Milla Brown, a little Kiwi girl who wanted nothing more than to be a little boy. The LGBTI Legal Service is on a mission to have historical convictions for consensual gay sex expunged in Queensland but they need your help! It documents Milla’s journey from birth until today, when at the age of 9 he is “extremely happy” to be living as a boy. The service is looking into law reform options and working with other stakeholders to prepare a discussion paper for submission to the State Government. But his happiness is compromised by the isolation and bullying which sadly accompanies those living with gender dysphoria. Legal Service director Emile McPhee said a key part of successful reform is personal stories of those affected by the archaic laws. “We need to reach people who are willing to share their stories,” he said. “We have no doubt that those people are out there, but we need to encourage them to come forward.” Mr McPhee said it is important that those who were convicted under these laws finally be “freed” from that stigma and history. “For some people, there may not be a noticeable difference. However, for others, there has been a continued struggle and internalised stigma attaching to a prosecution for something which should never have been illegal,” he said. “We need to take steps towards righting that injustice. “We need to be able to show the Queensland Government that there are people they represent who have, in some way, been affected.” Mr McPhee emphasised that people can retain their anonymity. “We are alive to the issues which people may face in contributing their stories and are happy to work with individuals to ensure that they are comfortable with whatever is published,” he said. Anyone interested in sharing their story can contact the LGBTI Legal Service by email on either [email protected] or info@ lgbtilegalservice.org or by phone on 0401 936 232. Despite constant bullying, Milla insists he is staying with the decision and the video is a plea for understanding and support. “I feel like I am in the wrong body,” he says. “I am having a really hard time at school at the moment, kids tease me all the time. “Nobody wants to be my friend. I just want people to accept me for who I am.” The video shows the journey since his mother Renee Fabish found out she was pregnant with her second daughter in 2004. The slideshow of photos and messages written by Ms Fabish includes the difficult times she had gone through when Milla came to her in tears asking if there was medicine that could turn her into a boy. It reveals how he insisted on wearing boys’ clothes from two years old and later demanded all his blonde hair be cut off. Ms Fabish, who is from New Plymouth but now lives with her family in Brisbane, posted the video online two weeks ago. She told the Herald on Sunday that the response had been overwhelming. “It was only ever intended to be for my friends and family to make them aware of the change Milla was going through,” she said. “They know, but it was just putting it out there publicly so no one had any questions. “It has definitely taken me by surprise and I’m very overwhelmed at the response that it’s got.” Ms Fabish, who is back in New Zealand visiting her sister, writes in the video that she doesn’t want her son to be part of the large percentage of the transgender community who suffer mental illness and self harm. “We are not willing to let our child become one of those statistics,” she wrote. The video has been viewed five million times and shared by more than 100,000 people. You can watch the video on Youtube by searching for: Milla’s Story - The Journey of a Transgender Child. LET’S TALK ABOUT The HIV Foundation Queensland will be hosting a community forum on 16 March to discuss PrEP - a new HIV prevention method in which people who do not have HIV take a pill daily to reduce their risk of contracting HIV. PrEP treatment has been available in the United States since 2012, and despite some criticisms that it could lead to unsafe promiscuity, the treatment has thus far been shown to be an effective method of prevention, especially for HIV negative people who are in relationships with a positive partner, as well as other people who are at high risk of contracting HIV. Ahead of a state wide QPrEP trial commencing later this year, the forum will be an opportunity to find out more about PrEP and to find out if it might be a suitable treatment option for you. The evening will be chaired by a panel of local Gp’s and clinicians who will be on hand to answer questions. The Forum will be held 6:00pm on Monday 16 March and will be held upstairs at RAPID, 2 Winn St, Fortitude Valley. While anyone is welcome to just turn up on the night, people interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP to info@ hivfoundation.org.au or call 07 3054 6100 If you are unable to attend the forum in person, you can log on to the Online PrEP Forum on Facebook ‘Let’s talk about PrEP: Community Forum’. Through this online forum, people can lodge their question to be answered both on the night and on the forum. www.qnews.com.au issue 371 | 5 C CW e d u t i g Dra SatURDAY MARCH 21 ST 7PM - MIDNIGHT PRICE $10 PROCEEDS TO QPP CHARITY CABARET WITH DRAGITUDE HOSTED BY MOTHER NATURE IMAGINATIONS (OLD OPTIONS) 18 LITTLE EDWARD ST SPRING HILL 6 | issue 371 www.qnews.com.au SHOWS at 8, 9, 10 & 11pm NEWS NEWS What a cool idea! Ice-cream brand Ben & Jerry’s has joined forces with Australian Marriage Equality to turn up the heat on the federal government to legalise same-sex marriage. An iconic London phone box, which has been given a rainbow coloured makeover, will feature in the Sydney Mardi Gras Fair Day on February 22. Dubbed #EqualityCalling, the initiative is a mass voice-mail campaign which urges the public to record messages supporting gay marriage that will be automatically delivered to their federal representatives. Those unable to attend the Mardi Gras can leave their messages of support on the #EqualityCalling hotline number 1300 663 679. Australian Marriage Equality believes the campaign offers a pivotal link between the government and the public. Kalli Swaik, a spokesperson for Ben & Jerry’s Australia, said the company is an adamant supporter of the cause. “We’re immensely proud to support an issue that embodies so many of our core values,” she said. “It will give marriage equality supporters a quick and easy way to reach all their federal representatives and it gives us a way to publicly highlight the substantial number of contacts politicians are receiving from constituents,” AME national director Rodney Croome said. “We believe that everyone in a loving relationship should be able to celebrate their commitment to each other in marriage, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.” No-one needs a phone box right now more than Prime Minister Tony Abbott – a Superman cape is about the only hope he has of retaining the highest political office in the country. Pink News reports that Ben and Jerry’s is also renaming its iconic ice-cream flavour Chocolate Chip CookieDough to “I DOugh, I DOugh” so fans can also show their support across the country. While there is no chance of Mr Abbott joining the queue to record a message of support for marriage equality, we can only hope that he and every other federal MP get the message loud and clear. An intimate image of a gay couple has captured the imagination of judges and won the World Press Photo of the Year 2014. Judges praised the image for its subtle beauty in comparison to the graphic images often featured in the media. The photo is part of Danish photographer Mads Nissen’s project called “Homophobia in Russia”, which depicts the daily struggle of life for “Today, terrorists use graphic images for propaganda. We have to respond with something more subtle, intense and thoughtful,” Brisbane’s longest running fundraiser for people living with HIV/AIDS, the CWC Cabaret is back 21 March at Imaginations nightclub in Spring Hill. Hosted by Mother Nature, the evening will dish up a delicious array of drag identities from all venues, as well as performances by some of Queensland’s best loved performers from years gone by. Shows will be held at 8, 9, 10 & 11pm with all performers donating their services for charity. The first CWC cabaret was held all the way back in 1989 to assist people living with HIV/AIDS and has a reputation of being one of those events that attracts both venue regulars and those not involved in “the scene”, providing a great opportunity to mingle, catch up with old friends and make new ones. LGBT people in a country which, among other things, criminalises “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships” to minors. The image depicts Jon and Alex, who the artist sees as “a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story” - two people in love but facing outside forces who want to deny them their feelings. ENTERTAINMENT WITH DRAGITUDE! Even though the entertainment is predominately centred around drag, CWC has a long history of throwing up all types of interesting and quirky acts. When it comes to CWC cabarets, expect the unexpected! GAY IMAGE WINS WORLD PRESS PHOTO OF THE YEAR By Rod Gardiner CWC CABARET: said World Press Photo jury member Pamela Chen. Jury chair Michele McNally added: “The winning image needs to be aesthetic, to have impact, and to have the potential to become iconic. “This photo is aesthetically powerful, and it has humanity.” Nissen’s photo was selected among 97,912 images submitted by 5692 press photographers, photo-journalists and documentary photographers in 131 different countries. The CWC Cabaret will be held 7:00pm – midnight, Saturday 21 March at Imaginations nightclub (the old Options), Spring Hill. Entry is $10 at the door with proceeds going to Queensland Positive People.

Well that is according to Stephen Fry anyway. ago when I came to the throne, that I would be signing something like this? Isn’t it wonderful?’” While speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, the recently married Fry told a story of how Her Majesty expressed her pleasure after signing into law Britain’s marriage equality act in June of 2013. The Queen has never spoken publicly about same sex marriage as she must remain politically neutral, however has shown her support for the LGBT community in recent years by giving her public support for the London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard; signing a charter calling for an end to discrimination across the 54 Commonwealth nations; and officially pardoning famed British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who was criminally prosecuted in 1952 and convicted of “gross indecency” under Britain’s 1885 law that criminalised homosexual activity. “It was only last summer, of course, that Her Majesty The Queen gave the Royal Assent,” Fry said. “Now, I don’t know whether this is true, but there’s an Italian saying… if it’s not true, it’s well founded.” “when the Queen signed the Royal Assent for the equal marriages act, allowing gay people to marry for the first time, she put it down and said ‘Well, who’d have thought, 62 years God save the Queen!

Or perhaps Kylie Minogue, AC/DC, Midnight Oil or Air Supply. That’s right, Australia, not Austria. SBS has confirmed Australia has been granted a one-off wild card entry in the final stages of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Austria. As a guest artist, our very own Jessica Mauboy wowed the 195 million global audience at last year’s event in Denmark, won by bearded lady Conchita Wurst. As Australia will this year be an official competitor, audience members with a +61 country code will be allowed to vote for the first time, in both semi-finals and the grand final. SBS secured the deal and said the successful candidate to represent Australia would be selected and revealed soon. “The deal is a result of SBS’s ambition to increase Australia’s presence at Eurovision following the success of Jessica Mauboy’s performance last year in Denmark,” an SBS statement said. “ Australia’s enthusiasm for the contest has been embraced by the European Broadcasting Union and the 2015 host broadcaster ORF who have invited SBS to send an artist to compete as a wild card entry for 2015 in celebration of the 60th of the contest. “SBS has been broadcasting Eurovision for over 30 years and we have seen how Australians’ love of the song contest has grown during those years.” Executive Supervisor of Eurovision Jon Ola Sand said, on behalf of the EBU: “It’s a daring and at the same time incredibly exciting move. “It is our way of saying; let’s celebrate this party together!” Time to dust of your construction helmet, cowboy hat or Indian headdress because the kings of disco, the Village People are coming to town this month! Performing live at Eatons Hill Hotel on Sat 28 Feb, these gay icons will be performing all of their biggest hits such as ‘In the Navy’, ‘Go West’, ‘Macho Man’, ‘You Can’t Stop the Music’.

The “hate” side of this relationship could be the reaction from some sexual partners… lesbians seem scared of it. My vulva is not small, tucked away or quiet, as we have been led to believe is the only acceptable look. This has caused great embarrassment for me, with new partners, always wondering what the comment may be. What I don’t understand is the need to have a “perfect” vulva, to the point where more and more women are getting labiaplasty to reduce the size of their labia (lips) – WTF! Have we actually criticised each other so much that we are sending our sapphic sisters under the knife? I am saying HECK NO!! FELLOW LESBIANS, WILLL YOU JOIN THE VULVA-LUTION? 10 | issue 371 www.qnews.com.au We are lesbians, we often like to be different, we are often inclined to feminist views and we generally love the vagina. So, why are we so critical of what is between our legs and the legs of the people we are sleeping with? Shouldn’t it be nice to explore the folds and creases of a beautiful, larger than life vulva just the same as a small, tight one? Shouldn’t we want to rummage through a full vulva of hair to find what’s underneath, just the same as a bald one? Shouldn’t we be celebrating the diversity of our vulvas and embracing our differences? How boring would it be if we were all the same? Today I am saying - My vulva is loud and out there and I like it that way. My relationship with my vulva, and any others that I may lay my hands on (*wink*), will now be a plain as day “love” relationship – no hate. The next time someone shies away from my vulva, it is simple, they don’t deserve it, and they don’t deserve me. I am starting a vulva-lution! Lesbians assemble and bring your straight sisters too. Who is with me? COVER COVER MANSCAPES CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF THE BODY IN BYRON BAY Two years ago, photographer John Bortolin embarked on an artistic journey which has now culminated in the creation of ‘Manscape’, a big and beautiful coffee-table book combining and celebrating the natural beauty of Northern New South Wales and the male physique. “The incredible landscapes of the Byron Bay shire in Australia, and its surrounding areas, have always inspired me,” Bortolin explained to QNews. “The lush semi-tropical hills, hidden creeks, and the sensual lines of the blue and white coast. “I am also an enormous admirer of the male body, with its strength and power. Yet, like any landscape it has a certain vulnerability. I decided to combine these passions in a large format photography book as an artistic celebration of these two forms” In many ways, while this book is a celebration of all men, it is also a tribute to each of these men who generously participated with their openness and willingness to transform and become a work of art. In a digital age that seems determined to create an unrealistic sense of perfection, Bortolin instead celebrates the raw image through traditional means. I’m an ‘old school’ photographer who trained on a film camera. Some of the images were taken on a 1965 model Mamiya C33 medium format 6x6cm film camera. These square format images feature in the centre of the book. They have a texture and grain that digital technology doesn’t necessarily allow, revealing a raw beauty. Mother Nature has the best attributes for these outdoor shots and I didn’t need to interfere. The light is all natural.

Stay away from this dangerous new drug! By Dr Fiona Bisshop You may have heard of a drug called NBOMe, also known as 25I or Cimbi-5. You may even have been offered it at a club or gig with promises of a wildly fun hallucinogenic trip, like a cheaper version of LSD. It’s sold as either a liquid which you put in your nose or mouth, or on blotting paper which is held under the tongue. This drug is actually a derivative of phenethylamine, and acts on the 5HT2A receptor in the human brain. It is incredibly potent and its effects can be severe. It promises hallucinations and feelings of euphoria. Let’s have a think about that. Hallucinations actually mean seeing and hearing things that aren’t actually there - things that can be quite scary or even frankly terrifying. People have died from running into trees and traffic whilst trying to escape a hallucinogenic apparition, and there is a case Dr Fiona Bisshop specialises in LGBT health and writes courtesy of Holdsworth House Medical Centre. of someone who took this drug thinking they could fly and ended up jumping to their death from a tall building. Users can experience fast heart rate, hyperthermia, confusion, nausea and vomiting, paranoia, panic, muscle stiffening, seizures and death. There have actually been a number of deaths in Australia clearly caused by this drug. It is very easy to overdose on it, especially in the liquid form, as it is so strong, and its effects can last up to 12 hours. This drug can cause a severe and potentially life-threatening situation called serotonin syndrome if combined with common antidepressants. You really don’t want this to happen to you! Oh and it’s explicitly banned in QLD and NSW so possession of it will land you a police charge. A few good reasons to stay away from this one, I believe!

There has been a recent spike in Shigella infections in Brisbane recently with men who have sex with men (MSM). Shigella is a bacterial infection that is easily spread by poo particles entering the mouth. Should I be worried? While Shigella is not considered a Sexually Transmitted Infection, it is easily passed between MSM and left untreated can cause severe infection. In particular, people living with HIV (PLHIV) are at risk of a more severe infection. The duration of infectiousness can be greatly reduced with antibiotics and keeping hydrated is also important for treatment. How will I know if I have Shigella? You may have diarrhoea, fever, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps, or you may have no symptoms at all. Shigella is generally passed on + HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY LIVING by unwashed hands and can be as easy as food contamination or chewing fingernails. However MSM are at a higher risk of Shigella through oral-anal sexual behaviours like rimming. Symptoms usually present 1 – 3 days after exposure and usually last for 4 – 7 days. Your GP should be able to tell you if you have Shigella. If I have Shigella what should I do? If you are diagnosed with Shigella, the infection can still be passed on to others, so: • Wash your hands after using the bathroom, having sex and before eating or preparing food • Avoid communal baths, spas and saunas for at least 48 hours after the symptoms COMPLETEY resolve How can Shigella? I prevent Wash your hands: • before and after eating or preparing food • after going bathroom to the • after having sex. During sex: • use a dam or condom (just cut it open) for rimming, • use gloves for fisting or fingering and • avoid douching – this can actually bring more bacteria to the area. To prevent Shigella, just remember to avoid putting anything in your mouth that could have been contaminated with poo including unwrapped lollies, nuts or other food. Avoid having sex for 7 days after the symptoms resolve or ensure you have a bath or shower beforehand.

They offer love, companionship and unwavering support no matter what so it is little wonder that LGBT celebrities who work amongst the fickleness of show business love their pets so much! QNews would like to introduce you to the four legged members of some of our community’s most famous families. Ruby Rose has always stood out from the crowd and tried to be a little bit different so it is little wonder that in finding a pet, the Aussie star chose something a little less ordinary. Meet Hazel, the gorgeous black and white pig that lives Rose and her fiance Phoebe Dahl. And just like her mamma Ruby, Hazel is a star in her own right with a huge online following on social media. ELTON JOHN DARREN HAYES Elton John loves his companion Arthur so much that he even brings him on television talk shows, but that just the beginning of it! When Elton and his now husband David had a civil union ceremony back in 2005, Arthur the cocker spaniel served as best man, and would later receive a musical credit on Elton’s Album The Captain and the Kid for providing ‘woof bells’. Darren Hayes on had a hit single called the ‘Animal Song’ and anyone who follows Darren on any type of social media platform knows that he and his pooch Wally are inseparable. As a kid Darren also had a pet snake named Dog and a pet dog named Snake, however one day Snake ate Dog (the dog ate the snake). Sounds like Darren’s pets really did live in a savage garden! GRAHAM NORTON Graham Norton’s ex boyfriend Trevor Patterson once told the Daily Mail that their relationship was too crowded, claiming that ‘There were four of us in the partnership.’ Patterson was referring to Norton’s two dogs, a labradoodle called Bailey and a terrier called Madge. ELLEN DeGENERES Ellen DeGeneres has long been known as an animal lover and features a regular segment on her show dedicated to pet heroes. She and wife Portia De Rossi have a number of pets themselves but one cute little little fella seems to get all the attention – meet Woof, who Ellen described to People magazine as: “kind of a poodle-Maltese mix and he’s a rescue off of the street.” JESSE TYLER FERGUSON Jesse Tyler Ferguson really is part of a modern family. Together with husband Justin Mikita, Ferguson has a morkie named Leaf who was named after Leaf Coneybear, a character that Ferguson played in the Broadway production of ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”. The couple described Leaf as a “starter baby” to People magazine when asked if they wanted to be parents. Leaf is a recent puppy school graduate after being sent to puppy bootcamp because he liked to bark too much. JODIE FOSTER Jodie Foster has a life long fear of cats after being attacked and briefly carried by a lion while filming on the set of Disney’s Napoleon and Samantha in 1972. Understandably she’s more of a dog person and has an adorable golden retriever names Spinee. Foster and her four legged friend are very close and when Spinee underwent major surgery earlier this month, Foster reached out to Twitter for support. “May I ask one favor? My dog Spinee needs your prayers,” she Tweeted in. “She just came out of a difficult surgery 20 minutes ago … She is my beloved.” Foster has been giving regular updates on Spinee’s condition and is clearly grateful for the support. “With prayers like this I feel confident Spinee will be fine,” she wrote. “Thank you more than you will ever know.” www.qnews.com.au issue 371 | 15 MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC By Jordan Hirst MADONNA MISSY ELLIOTT GETS HER FREAK BACK ON? JOINS GRINDR She shocked and delighted her patient fans with a surprise cameo with Katy Perry at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, and now AWOL rap icon Missy Elliott has revealed she’s back in the studio. “I’m actually going down to be with [longtime collaborator Timbaland], and so we’re gonna get in and get some work done,” Elliott told US radio station SiriusXM. “I don’t want to say too much, because in this day and time you say something, and they will come back two weeks later like ‘Um, where your album at?’” Missy tweeted a photo of her and Timbaland in the studio, but dance producer Diplo went one better and shared snippets of Missy’s vocals on a new song, “Take U There”, that he produced with dubstep vanguard Skrillex under their supergroup moniker Jack U. In 2008, Missy was diagnosed with Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid, and she has said she now manages the condition with diet and exercise. “Work It” and “Lose Control” saw the three songs jump back onto the US iTunes charts, according to Billboard.com. An emotional Missy said she was surprised by the reception years after she was forced to leave the spotlight. “Tbh I didn’t realize how much I was missed til last night,” she tweeted. “I’m crying y’all 4give me I just can’t stop thanking God & y’all.” But a decade after her last album, Missy’s Super bowl medley of her (greatest) hits “Get Ur Freak On,” TEGAN AND SARA WILL MAKE THE OSCARS AWESOME Proving once and for all that no-one knows her people better, Madonna teamed up with Grindr to give lucky fans a one-on-one Q&A via the hookup app on Valentine’s Day. All the five lucky winners had to do to was take a break from chatting to Grindr’s spambots, wrap their head in black wire to recreate her new album Rebel Heart’s cover shot and post it as their profile picture with the hashtag #LivingForLove as their headline. Instant promo! But the Grindr gab is just one cog in the wheel of the #UnaplogeticBitch’s relentless promo tour... earlier this month Madonna flashed her black thong on this year’s Grammy’s red carpet before thrilling the audience inside with her onstage Illuminati Minotaur ritual set to the tune of Rebel Heart’s lead single “Living For Love.” A few days prior, Madonna snubbed YouTube to premiere her music video for “Living For Love” on popular picture messaging app Snapchat. Rebel Heart is still set for a March 10 release, despite the catastrophic leaks online of all of the album’s songs which threw eager fans into a quandary over whether or not to listen. Team Madonna responded by rush-releasing a number of the tracks early. 16 | issue 371 www.qnews.com.au Tegan and Sara Quin have been invited to perform at this year’s 87th Academy Awards ceremony. Although the box office smash The Lego Movie was cruelly overlooked in this year’s Oscars’ Best Animated Feature category, the movie did scoop a Best Original Song nomination for the frenetic jam “Everything is Awesome”, performed by the sisters Quin with Saturday Night Live comedy duo The Lonely Island. “We are are truly honoured to be performing the song,” Tegan and Sara wrote on their website. “You won’t want to miss one second of the awesome.” And the twins will be in good company! Lady Gaga has revealed she too will be delivering a “very special performance” during the ceremony, but details are scant on what she’ll be singing. Also slated to perform are Adam Levine, John Legend, Rita Ora, and Pitch Perfect sweetheart Anna Kendrick. The Academy Awards will be held on February 22, with lively musical numbers also expected from first-time host Neil Patrick Harris. CISUM tsriH nadroJ yB CISUM MUSIC AND THE WINER IS ...SAM SMITH (X4) By Rod Gardiner If he wasn’t already there, four gongs at the Grammys made Sam Smith a superstar overnight. And that can only be good for the LGBT community. Releasing his new Lay Me Down video, Smith says he plans to use his platform as one of the most visible, publicly out gay men in music. “A lot of people have said before that I don’t want to be a spokesperson for the gay community, and that’s very false,” Smith told MTV red carpet correspondents Christina Garibaldi and Todrick Hall at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday. “Hopefully, I showed that when I put out the Lay Me Down video.” The moving video, shot in one take in a South East London church, sees Smith standing at the altar at his husband’s funeral, while mourning family and friends sit behind him holding candles. Halfway through, the clip flashes to their joyous wedding in the same church, with everyone smiling and clapping, before returning to a melancholy Smith sitting alone on a pew. Posting a message on Instagram, Smith wrote: “Dear all, the Lay Me Down music video holds a very dear place in my heart. “With this video, myself and Ryan Hope the director have decided to make a statement and showcase something we passionately believe in. “This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country. “I hope you enjoy it. I love you all.” Smith recently revealed that his debut album In The Lonely Hour is about unrequited love. The album proved a huge success on both sides of the Atlantic, making the 22-yearold the only artist to shift more than one million copies in the US and the UK last year. Since then he’s had a brief relationship with model Jonathan Zeizel which ended in January. Smith told MTV that his latest Lay Me Down video is his future. “That’s what I want to do. I want to get married, and — well, I don’t want my husband to die,” he said. “I want to get married, and it was important for me to make a statement.” Club Rok - Rockhampton www.qnews.com.au issue 371 | 17 FEATURE FEATURE THE TEN MOST Flamboyant GAY CELEBRITIES OF ALL TIME #1 Liberace There is flamboyant and then there is Liberace! Born in 1919 in a working class area of Milwaulee, Wisconsin to immigrant parents, Władziu Valentino Liberace may have humble beginnings but this child prodigy pianist would go on to become the highest paid entertainer in the world, and not to mention the most fabulous and flamboyant entertainer of all time! Known as Mr Showmanship, Liberace was famous for his countless over the top costumes, excessively long fur coats, his mirror ball styled Rolls Royce, and expensive rings on each finger. Even off stage Liberace’s life was the epitome of flamboyant excess; His mansions were famously decadent; and his love life was the stuff of scandalous court cases and tabloid rumours for decades. Sadly Liberace died of an AIDS related illness in 1987. and in 1984 famously performed I Want to Break Free in full drag. He was known for leading a decadent and hedonistic lifestyle, however, became reclusive in the last few years of his life. Mercury revealed the world that he had AIDS one day before his death in 1991. #4 Oscar Wilde (Pictured Above) Queen Victoria’s England in the later half of the 19th Century is synonymous with social conservatism and repressed sexuality. That is, of course, unless your name is Oscar Wilde! Wrtiter, poet and all round fabulous dandy Oscar Wilde was witty, charming, and one of the best known personalities of his day. At the height of his success, Wilde was embroiled in a very public and scandalous court case with the Marquess of Queensberry who was the father of Wilde’s young male lover. The end result saw Wilde being found guilty of ‘gross indecency with other men’ and imprisoned for 2 years. #2 Elton John Elton John is not just one of the most successful singers in musical history having sold more than 300 million records over his five decade career but he is known around the world for his lavish lifestyle and some of the best stage costumes ever seen. Crazy glasses, feather trimmed jackets, and platform shoes were how it started in the 70s and by the 90s Elton was getting around in full baroque brilliance a la Louis XIV of France with a wig so big that he needed special arrangement to help him put on the headpiece. #3 Freddie Mercury Freddie Mercury is the very definition of a superstar. As the front man for British glam rock group Queen, Mercury was highly theatrical and adorned in everything from lycra to leather on stage 18 | issue 371 www.qnews.com.au #5 Boy George The 1980s was all about flamboyance but even in the crazy world of pop music, Boy George stood out. As the lead singer of Culture Club, Boy George was known for his androgynous, gender bending appearance which pushed the boundaries of an unsuspecting public. In the years after Culture club Boy George remained in tehe public eye for his drug addictions and conviction for false imprisonment of a male prostitute. He has since turned his life around and now DJs around the world including at last year’s Big Gay Day at the Wickham Hotel. #6 Julian Clary #9 Rudolf Nureyev #7 David Bowie #10 Adam Lambert Comedian Julian Clary is pretty out there. Sporting an empasised campness, outragous costumes Clary aimed to shock audiences by saying and doing thing that audiences didn’t thin anybody could say or do. In the 1990s, British newspaper The Sun launched a campaign to have Clary banned from television after he made jokes about fisting. Audiences, however, loved him all the more for it, even voting him as the winner of the 2012 Celebrity Big Brother. OK so Bowie isn’t gay, he’s bisexual but we will include him on the list anyway. Bowie and his alter ego Ziggy Stardust spearheaded the glam rock era and can be credited with bringing camp glamour to the mainstream. Since that time Bowie has reinvented himself a number of times with each new Bowie incarnation becoming a style icon. Marriages to super models and rumoured affairs with Mick Jagger have also added to his flamboyant mystique #8 Andy Warhol Andy Warhol never looked very flamboyant, in fact, he looked somewhat dull and unassuming. The life that he led, however, was anything but. Warhol has become the face of pop art and his life’s work seemed dedicated to both celebrating and satirizing the dizzying world of celebrity and all things popular and glamourous. Warhol’s New York studio was known as ‘The Factory’ and was home to lavish parties attended by the city’s wealthiest socialites and celebrities. One of the finest dancers the world has ever know, ballet star Rudolf Nureyev defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961 where he was he felt he had more opportunities both professionally and personally. Known for being a bit precious, Nureyev was prone to temper tantrums at a whim but was able to calm himself while partying with the likes of Gore Vidal , Freddie Mercury , Jackie Kennedy Onassis , Mick Jagger , Liza Minnelli , Andy Warhol . Adam Lambert might still be relatively new to the public eye compared to the others on the list, however he has achieved a lot in a short period. Winner of American Idol, Lambert has revived glam rock in recent years with his out loud and proud theatrical and androgynous performance style. So impressed with his stage presence, the surviving members of Queen invited Lambert to take on arguably the toughest assignment in music – trying to fill the shoes of the late Freddie Mercury as part of Queen’s world tour. Lambert took up the challenge an received critical acclaim for his efforts honouring Mercury while maintaining his own style.

A standout among the CBD’s sushi shops, they offer quality fast food that’s fantastic value for money at a highly convenient spot. There’s a good range of traditional and fusion-style maki sushi rolls, although what Japanese expats and foreign students really hanker for are their well-made onigiri: parcels of salted rice shaped into oval or triangular shapes, filled with salty or tangy ingredients like pickled plum and mashed salted salmon, and wrapped in nori. A quintessential takeaway food traditionally prepared by housewives for their children to take to school, it’s the Japanese analog to the vegemite sandwich. Discerning Japanophiles might notice a lack of finesse with the preparation work that goes into their sashimi, but we can’t fault the quality and freshness of the fish, and it’s a bargain from about $8 per pack. Lunch specials include items like bento set meals and noodle soups. Try the kitsune udon, udon noodles and sweetened fried tofu parcels in a clean-tasting dashi-based (seaweed and dried fish shavings) soup that is so wholesome, it slurps down like a dream. During the colder months they will put an oden stand at the shopfront, offering a variety of skewered foods ($1-$2.50 each) simmered in a light broth as well as steamed buns and dumplings. The staff also tend to offer happy hour deals or clearance prices for their sushi after 5pm. If you’re the people anova C watching type with plenty of time to kill, order a pot of Japanese green tea, take a seat (the vast majority of their clientele tend to be on the go) and observe the city’s racing pulse as the masses go about their business in the heart of our fair city.

In 2010, it has become a cafe favourite around the country. METHOD 1. Set up a hot water bath or a ‘double boiler’ i.e. a large pot or saucepan, ½ full with hot water, with a large metal or glass bowl on top of it. It is important that the bowl is big enough to stop steam or water getting into it. 2. Place the copha, condensed milk and raspberry extract in the top of the double boiler and allow it to melt slowly as the water simmers. Don’t let the water boil. 3. Meanwhile, chop the glace cherries, either by hand, or in the blender. Try to leave a few course chunks in it. Remember to leave 25 cherries for decoration! Carefully gather all the cherries into a large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Every little bit counts so scrape the blender, being careful of the blades. 4. Add the coconut and the bran and mix the Ingredients. When the copha has melted, add both mixtures but be careful of steam and water on the underside of the bowl. When all ingredients are mixed thoroughly, leave it to cool on the bench for 10 minutes. • 67 g of copha 5. Line a couple of trays with aluminium foil, shiny side up .You will also need a bowl of clean cold water to wash your hands in. Roll the mixture into balls and regularly wet your palms to avoid sticking. Place the balls on the trays a 4 cm apart and then refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. 6. Set up a hot water bath or a ‘double boiler’ again. This time for melting the chocolate. Make sure no water or steam gets into your clean bowl of chocolate, otherwise it will be impossible to work with. Heat the chocolate gradually until it is smooth and silky and then add a teaspoon of vegetable oil. This will thin it down and make it set softer when set. If you wish, you can also melt chocolate in the microwave but not in a glass bowl. It is important not to overheat the chocolate, so heat in increments of 30 seconds ,while stirring in between until smooth. 7. Use a ‘slotted spoon’ to dip the balls in the chocolate. Drain the excess chocolate of each ball and return it to the foil lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, decorate each ball with a single cherry and allow them to set overnight in the fridge. • ½ a tin of condensed milk (200 g) • ¼ teaspoon of raspberry extract (optional) I could only find strawberry extract which smells like drops of heaven • 125 g desiccated coconut (or shredded) • 4 cups of all bran (twigs, toasted or raw flakes) • 500 g of glace cherries (2 x 200g packs ...plus an extra ½ pack (100 g) for decoration) • 250g of dark chocolate • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil www.qnews.com.au issue 371 | 19 QFUN QFUN RainBow Stars ARIES You have a short list of people you’ll report to, out of choice, obligation and duty.

FILM FILM REVIEW WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAY Review by Peter Gray Rated PG Life, death and family; the three seem to co-exist quite frequently when put together onscreen, and ‘What We Did On Our Holiday’ is no exception. Wonderfully British and ever-sobittersweet, this comedy of errors focuses on separated couple Abi and Doug (Rosamund Pike and David Tennant), whose current relationship woes need little explaining with their three forthright children acting as a window into their situation. Preparing to travel from London to Scotland to celebrate Doug’s father Gordie’s (Billy Connolly) 75th birthday, potentially his last due to ailing health, the bickering duo need to do their best to play happy family to keep the peace – something near impossible with a trio of children seemingly incapable of not telling the truth. One of those films that adopts a sitcomlike premise and manages to stretch it to feature length, and thankfully succeeds, ‘What We Did On Our Holiday’ grounds its outlandish humour and situations in heart and honesty, allowing us to observe our own lives in the process. After terrifying males the world over with her striking turn in last year’s ‘Gone Girl’, Pike proves she can play lovely just as well, although it’s hard not to feel cautious when her character starts getting angry at Tennant and you want to scream at him to run for the hills. Connolly is, as expected, a delight as he infuses Gordie with pearls of wisdom that are never without a touch of impertinent humour, and the children prove an absolute treat, behaving like real children without bordering on precociousness. As the movie season unwinds from Oscar-bait overload and some little movie called ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, it’s a treat to know that there’s something genuinely enjoyable on offer that won’t make you think too hard, react too strongly or cause a fuss. It’s simple, it’s light, it’s utterly charming and it makes you wish that every family dysfunction could be solved so entertainingly.

On the theme of revenge, the play centres on the interlocking triangular relationship between Dee, a successful TV playwright, Hallett, a detective- superintendent, and Stone.

Tickets are available now via www.brisbanepowerhouse.org STRA GNIMROFREP PERFORMING ARTS A VERY DIFFERENT YET DELIGHTFUL DREAM HOT, DELICIOUS, AND SUBVERSIVELY GLAMOROUS Following their highly successful international collaborations, Melbourne based performer Jessi Lewis will once again team with Lismore’s award winning artist Ana Wojak in a new work to be staged in Brisbane’s New Globe Theatre. The pair will present ‘Crossfade’, a collaborative exploration into dress ups, gender, transgression, the roles we assume and those which are thrust upon us. In a contemporary world obsessed with appearances and the superficial, it works with costume as a stimulus from which layered vocabularies of movement and image emerge, to be presented in a narrative of rich episodic tableaux. La Boite theatre’s new production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is equal parts weird, hilarious, and brilliant. Given a retro suburban Australian setting rather than Athens and its surrounding forests, this production has managed to stay true to all of the themes that have made this play a timeless classic, while at the same time injecting it with a healthy dose of dark humour and a pinch of all things peculiar. While there has been no shortage of ‘Shakespeare with a modern twist’ gracing theatres around the country in recent years achieving varying degrees of success, Director Benjamin Schostakowski, has been able to successfully navigate that fine line between respecting the original text and bringing to life a genuinely unique and engaging creation which will delight audiences regardless of whether it is their first or fiftieth time experiencing this band of young lovers, budding thespians, and naughty fairies. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is now playing at La Boite Theatre until 7 March. Tickets are available via www.laboite.com.au or call 3007 8600. Promising something hot, delicious, and subversively glamorous, Crossfade highlights the commonality between these uniquely different artists, creating a through line that assumes a deeper connection which ultimately binds this performance. Crossfade will be staged Thursday 24 March at the New Globe Theatre, 122 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley. Tickets are available online at thenewglobetheatre.com.au $15 pre-sale/$18 on the door.
