So everyone’s all annoyed at Cynthia Nixon because she said that being gay is her choice. Maybe it is. Why are we so ready to jump down her throat over it? “I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, [...]

Ana Matronic is a member of (possibly) the queerest band on earth; she’s bi; she was born in the queer-girl-est city; her real name is Anna Lynch (so we’re claiming her as one of our own): she’s a talented artist, singer, business woman; and she’s only feckin’ gorgeous. So, when do we stop ticking the “Amazing” boxes? Let us try, as we gaze upon her beauteous being

For a growing number of people, “queer” is the way they express their identity. It’s an umbrella term which can be used to cover a whole host of sexualities and gender expressions.

Meeting people online gives you the chance to come across as less of a plonker than you do in real life. But only if you make an effort to stand out. New Gaelick contributor, Tole, takes you through the ups and downs of being an online Casanova.

CACOPHONY is new club night for queer people who want different music and a different scene. Launched on Friday 30th September, each month CACOPHONY will feature a live band followed by a night of stomping indie rock and alternative music by DJs who know their music.

The 8th International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival kicks off today, 2nd May, and this year we are spoiled for choice – again! The thing to do is to peruse the programme and pick out what tickles your fancy – but here are just some of the performances that caught my eye

As the AMI team put the finishing touches on what looks set to be the gay event of the year, we at Gaelick thought we’d give our readers an in-depth look at what to expect from the night!

What hot girl on girl action is coming to our screens in 2011? Here’s a list of queer-tastic films we think you may enjoy

What is it about a badge and a gun? Why does the combo turn the most intellegent, articulate of women into a drooling mass of hormones? Tough female cops are hot, there’s no way round it. They are, and hopefully will ever be, a stable of TV. But who is your favourite? Vote and let us know who your favourite TV cops are.

I’m getting used to it, but there is a fine line between acknowledging that single parenthood is bloody hard work and acting like raising my son, the greatest joy in my life, is some sort of tragedy.

There Will Be Rain is the brainchild of writer and actor Marc McCabe, who was one of the quartet in the play Working Late, one of the biggest successes of this year’s Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. When they finished the week-long run of Working Late, Marc approached the play’s writer, director and producer, Rebecca Walsh, to see what she thought of his script.

The Emmy’s last night were all about Archie and Glee for this Gaelick writer. Was I disappointed? Or did our bisexual character (Kalinda in The Good Wife) and lesbian actress (Jane Lynch) do the do? Plus, what about the gay guys, Neil Patrick Harris and everything else in Glee? Read on if you want to know, or wait until this evening and it’ll be on RTE 2 at 9.30pm.

I am on a rant. Feel free to click away, but my ardour is up and my goat has well and truly been gotten. I’m so angry that I just allowed a very badly-constructed sentence to pass my editor radar. Why? Where the HELL are the Irish women in sport? Not on the effing telly anyway!

To comply with the judgement on the Lydia Foy case, a gender recognition advisory group has been set-up, inviting comments and input from the general public on issues such as legal recognition and the right to marry. There is an open call until Friday, September 17th, to have your say on the upcoming legislation.

I have to admit to having a slight crush on Angelina. Ok, ok, more than a slight crush. What? I’m a lezzer! So, it was with great…ahem….anticipation that I went to see her new film, Salt. When the wife and I sat down, she looked around and chuckled at all of the sisters who were doing exactly what we were doing. It seems an Angie (she said I could call her that) film is a convention for the unconventional.

For the discerning appraisal of our Álainn or Appalling readers this week is RTÉ’s peripatetic pretty lady, Kathryn Thomas. The tantalizing Mzz Thomas has trekked far from her native Blockbog Road, County Carlow, at the helm of RTÉ travel show No Frontiers. But Thomas has definitely not been the sluggish sun-lounger type

I heard someone during the week describe The Really Hellish Turd as “car crash TV”. I’ve always wondered about that phrase. I mean, who in the right mind watches a car crash? Maybe that’s my problem, if I could only become more interested in pile-ups, this show would be a blast.
