Withers: The sister of a dead boy is mocked

James Withers — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 16:18:35 +0000

Few days left before we close shop. Before today’s rant, I want to make sure you all saw Jay’s invite for a drink this Friday. If you are in NYC, drop by and say adios.

I love this country for(...)

Monday Watercooler: Give money to the United 93 memorial

James Withers — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:31:03 +0000

Sally Kern talks foolishness. As a small “d” democrat, I have no problem with fellow citizens who have issues with the gay. However, why can’t anti-gay politicians come up with theories that(...)

Hi 365ers,

I’m headed to Albany today to cover Empire State Pride Agenda’s Equality and Justice Day, a lobbying day and rally to build support for marriage equality and transgender rights.

Editor: Goodbye, 365gay forums!

Jennifer Vanasco/editor — Wed, 04 May 2011 17:53:54 +0000

Hi 365ers,

We are ending 365gay forums this week. Why? Mostly due to lack of interest. Though forum readership has stayed flat, comments have gone up. It turns out that most of our readers(...)

Hi 365ers,

As you’ve likely noticed, we made some changes to the homepage today that have been months in the making.

The rotating marquee at the top will feature 5 of what I think are the most(...)

Withers: 365Gay book club

The end. It came about like most. Smith and Mapplethorpe were separated. She left New York with her future husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Mapplethorpe remained. When she told Robert, he wanted to(...)

Haven’t dealt much with Smith’s artistic journey. Wish someone called me out on that. The fusion of rock-and-roll with first class poetry is seen as ordinary, what’s expected. Think of how many(...)

Withers: 365Gay book club

James Withers — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:09:43 +0000

Forgot yesterday was book club day. Easy to to do since no one else is talking. So let’s try something different today. How many actually read the book? What do you think about it? Let’s see if(...)

James Withers — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:26:35 +0000

This is not very original, but Mapplethorpe and Smith were hanging out with some heavy hitters. Smith gets a meal from Allen Ginsberg. Jimi Hendrix gave her a pep talk in a stairwell.

She put(...)

How to describe the physical relationship between Smith and Mapplethorpe? A silly question, but it’s been gnawing at me for awhile. Thankfully Smith keeps her story from the ribald (hard to(...)
