When I walk into the dressing room I say 'Watch out, he's here' – but I know they respect me. And I respect them."

NYT profiles filmmaker behind gay cult classic Pink Narcissus, which is being rescreened at IFC this month: "Bidgood moved to New York in 1951, working as a female impersonator and taking photographs for men's physique magazines like Muscleboy and Adonis.

But doesn't shut us up: "On Thursday about 20 protesters wearing everything from green hats to green make-up chanted 'shame! shame!' as police in dark blue marched by. The gay activists even brought their own band, a lively eight piece ensemble including a trombone and accordion, to compete with the huge bagpipe-and-drum groups thundering up Manhattan.

Delaware Supreme Court confirms lesbian mom as parent: "The Delaware Supreme Court issued a ruling March 14 upholding the right of a woman to be identified as a 'de facto' parent of a child she had been raising with her former same-sex partner—a child the partner adopted but that the woman herself did not.
