Every Thursday Friday this once, we give you this week's LGBTQ to-do list.
First of all, I'm pissed at New Jersey. After all the hype surrounding a bill that would legalize gay marriage there, the state Senate decided to reject it last Thursday by a vote of 20-14. It would have been encouraging to see a neighbor of ours approve same-sex marriage, but the real progress will be making things happen right here in our own state. This week I've found an event that will provide you the opportunity to make a difference locally and, as always, there's a fun dance party for good measure.
— The reigning Queen of All Gays and vehement supporter of LGBTQ rights, Lady Gaga, is hosting a fundraiser with Out in AC called "Hands Up For Marriage Equality" at the House of Blues (801 Boardwalk, 609-236–2583) in Atlantic City on Sat., Jan. 16 ,at 10 p.m. For only $20 you can attend the event, be in the presence of Ms. Gaga and know your money is going to support four LGBTQ organizations working for equality in the tri-state area: Equality Pennsylvania, Garden State Equality, the Empire State Pride Agenda and The Power. DJs Michael DeCero and Vito Fun will be filtering tunes in Club Worship so you can dance around and be merry about all the exciting things you've done to support these causes — and of course there's always the chance you'll meet a handsome out-of-towner to cruise the boardwalk, or maybe play a few slots with.
— Now that you've worked hard to further LGBTQ equality, you deserve a chance to dance to what you've done. On Sun., Jan. 17 at 10 p.m. at Woody's (202 S. 13th St., 215-545-1893), drag queen Brittany Lynn and her sassy Drag Mafia are hosting a free DVD release party for another friend of the gays, Kathy Griffin. The DVD is titled She'll Cut A Bitch, and if you missed it when it aired on BRAVO last year you'll definitely want to pick up a copy — it's fantastic. Unfortunately, Griffin won't be in attendance, but Brittany Lynn and the girls will perform a hilariously inappropriate comedy routine and DJ Carl Michaels will be ready to spin when the time comes to boogie. So get out there and shake what your momma gave ya — there aren't any laws against that.
