Every Thursday, we give you this week's LGBTQ to-do list.
' Get fired up for the weekend by attending a free discussion led by Iraq veteran Lt. Dan Choi tonight at 5 p.m. at UPenn's Houston Hall (3417 Spruce St.). Choi will be talking about his experience being ousted from an impressive tenure in the military after 'coming out' on the Rachel Maddow Show. He will also discuss awkward cultural differences he endures as a gay Korean-American and how the Army's decision, based on the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, catapulted him to become one of the country's most outspoken gay activists. I'm getting pumped just thinking about it.
' On Sat., Nov. 21 from 7:30 to 10 p.m., Giovanni's Room (345 S. 12th St., 215-923-2960) is holding the LGBT Read-a-Thon as a continued effort to fund its building project and the Lambda Literary Society. Packed in the two-story edifice will be 20 LGBT authors, including Thom Nickles, S. Renee Bess and Perry Brass, reading, signing and chatting about their current published works. I know, I know, who wants to spend Saturday night with her nose stuck in a book? I just figure it's a good idea keep it low-key before the hectic holiday weekend approaches, and who knows, you just may run into one of those cute, nerdy, book-huggin' types to share an intellectual chat/drink with afterward. The admission price of $50 is donation-based.
' Kick off your holiday drunkfest at the Pink Pub Crawl, which begins at Stir (1705 Chancellor St., 215-732-2700) on Wed. Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. After downing a few stiff ones, and maybe exchanging a number or two, the flaming caravan will then wind its way around the Gayborhood, stopping in Q Lounge (1234 Locust St., 215-732-1800) and Woody's (202 S. 13th St., 215-545-1893) before hitting up Voyeur (1221 St. James St., 215-735-5772) for a late-night dance party. The price of one ticket ($20-$30) will get you a free beer or wine in each location plus admission to the dance floors at Woody's and Voyeur. This will be a fun opportunity to meet new people, become acquainted with the 'hood and build up a tolerance so you can avoid getting inappropriately tanked at aunt Dorothy's Thanksgiving dinner. She just can't handle it like she used to.
