Lucas Silveira hated the sound of his own voice. He’d fronted a group of Canadian alt-rockers called the Cliks since 2004, and he’d sung, screeched and swaggered into the hearts and iPods of angsty queers all across the continent with the help of his hypnotic stage presence and signature eyebrow tilt. But every time the [...]
Looking for something to do this weekend? Look no further. Stop by The Fridge to see this exhibit before it closes!

Sharing in the seasonal customs of [...]
Cici: We don’t usually broach politics on Where the Girls Go. As two unpaid editors with full-time jobs and other side projects, we have neither the time nor resources to cover LBTQ politics in a meaningful way. Other outlets do it comprehensively, and do it well, thanks to a few dogged journalists and advocates who [...]
Ever thought your life was so dramatic, so hilarious, so sexy and queer, it could be a scripted show? So did Tucky Williams. She took real characters and experiences from her life as a lesbian in Lexington, Ky., and wrote them into Girl/Girl Scene, a cheeky web series starring Williams, 27, as a swaggering hyena [...]
Sometimes, it seems like the gay boys have it all—relatable, nuanced characters in television shows, dozens of dedicated bars and parties to choose from on the weekends, gay media outlets that focus specifically on their interests and concerns. Queer women and gender-nonconforming folks are too often silenced in gay advocacy groups and underrepresented in mainstream depictions [...]
If you’ve been watching or reading any accounts of the pre-election political foreplay that’s turned our nation into a ball of hyped-up inflammatory-Facebook-posting goo, you know that queers—and our rights—have become an important battleground in this election.
