Video: We are part of the team!

I've watched this several times & each time it makes me happier than Andy Williams sounds singing that overplayed 'Most wonderful time of the year' song. It's shown up several places around the interweb, but there's some extra info about it over at a blog called B Turn (a place for music, culture and style of the New Balkans). It's a big deal & rightly so. Most of Serbia/Croatia don't believe there's even such a thing as gay. Last year, the first gay pride in Serbia was cancelled because the police couldn't guarantee the safety of participants against protesters who threatened physical violence against the LGBTQ community there. So just showing this on TV around the country is a huge push for recognition & understanding. And for me, just watch these guys as the kiss ends, their lips, the way their eyes open...Now I believe good kisses make good politics!

what is homo-centric?

homo-centric is a monthly reading series curated by Hank Henderson. The series is hosted by Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park and takes place the 3rd Thursday of every month. By offering this space for LGBTQI writers to gather & share their words we hope to create a renewed sense of community. There's a hunger for connection and a wonder about our collective history that needs to be nurtured and continued.
