Strip Clubs: Launch Pads For Hits In Atlanta →
by Elizabeth Blair
“How do you feel about strip clubs?” That was their opening line. My colleagues Sara Sarasohn and Zoe Chace wanted to know if I’d be willing to go to Atlanta to report on how hip-hop records are broken, or launched, in strip clubs. Truth is, I’d never been to a strip club…

By DEVAN SIPHER Published: December 17, 2010
Ms. Riddell said she remembered crying in the shower, asking: “Why am I being punished? Why did someone throw him in my path when I can’t have him?”
In May 2008, Mr. Partilla invited her for a drink at O’Connell’s, a neighborhood bar. She said she knew something was up, because they had never...

In France, Civil Unions Gain Favor Over Marriage -... →
By SCOTT SAYARE and MAÏA DE LA BAUME Published: December 15, 2010
When France created its system of civil unions in 1999, it was heralded as a revolution in gay rights, a relationship almost like marriage, but not quite.

Whit Stillman’s razor sharp comedy of manners about Manhattan’s Upper East Side bourgeoisie. Stillman’s deadpan humor paved the way for the likes of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach. You’ll kick yourself for not having watched this sooner.
Strongly recommended.

By FRANK RICH Published: December 11, 2010
The incident is chilling because it suggests that even in a time of huge progress in gay civil rights, homophobia remains among the last permissible bigotries in America. “Think anti-gay bullying is just for kids? Ask the Smithsonian,” wrote The Los Angeles Times’s art critic, Christopher Knight, last week. One might add: Think anti-gay bullying is just...
