On October the 8th, a 49 year old gay man named Jack Price was savagely beaten within an inch of his life in College Point, a quiet neighborhood out near Flushing, Queens.

On October the 17th a march and rally were held to provide a focal point for the community's support for Jack and to let those who perpetrated this act and those who support them know that their violence is neither accepted nor welcome.

OccasionalFag Brian G. went to the march and rally.  Here is a short video recap of what he found.

It should be noted that after having been placed in a medically induced coma to save his life, Jack Price is doing better and should recover.  It will, however, be a long recovery...

It's another one of those talking podcasts for David b and Brian G. Learn how to stalk Brian on the web at his new blog Entertaining the Dog, and maybe even on manhunt!!!

We went.  We marched.  It was good...

Very little about the Rally in this video.  You want to watch images of that then head over to CSPAN.  They did an amazing job of covering it and if you look closely, at one point you can see OccasionalFag David b!

Enjoy!

If you couldn't make it to the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Grand Auction and Flea Market here in New York City this last Sunday, September the 27th, well...  don't worry, we here at TheOccasionalFag did!

Flip Camera in hand, when not lending a hand to help set up the event, Brian G. was recording all that he could so that you can take in the experience vicariously.  Aahh!  And even with the rain, the show went on!

Enjoy!

Cleve Jones was recently at the New York City LGBT Center talking about the National Equality March.  Listen here to that speech.

Brian G and David b have a nice chat and invite you to join them at the National Equality March.

Each week through the summer, Coney Island USA presents burlesque shows of superlative quality and distinction, keeping the fine art of the striptease alive.

One of these shows is all men (Yeah, I know, just one?  Ah well, striping is a woman's art form). 

On a tip from our good friend Jon, TheOccasionalFags travel out to meet him in southern Brooklyn to take in an evening of boy-lesque.  And, oh!  What an evening it was!

Enjoy!

Many is the weekend this summer on the Northeast Coast that has been a wash out due to ungodly amounts of rain (global warming or weirding?).  Fortunately we had one great one several weeks back in the middle of August that allowed for a truly spectacular Illuminations weekend at The Woods Campgrounds in the southern Poconos.  TheOccasionalfag was there last year and we're here again.

Enjoy the video of the evening...

In editing this year's video of DRA's (Dancers Responding to AIDS) 15th Annual Fire Island Dance Festival, Occasional Fag Brian G., who volunteers each year to help load in and strike the show, wanted to go back to making a series of still photos set to music, like the earlier videos of the festival that he has made. 

Not gonna happen...

Just a few still Photos into the edit and Brian G. was bored.  So he started playing with ideas of timing motion against stillness.  Simple ideas, really.   Then it became just about presenting the festival.  And here is the video you get.

Enjoy!
