Prince at TEDx: Mind the Gap
Bilerico alumni Prince Gomolvilas did a TEDx talk earlier this year and the video is now online. Prince is a brilliant playwright and was, hands down, one of our funniest contributors to grace the site.When Jerame and I went to LA a few years ago, Prince was one of the people I insisted on meeting. We went to a fabulous Thai restaurant he recommended. Sadly, Thai Elvis, one of the main reasons we chose it, wasn't performing that night. Prince's wit and banter more than made up for it. We ended the night at a piano bar in Silverlake - which sounds like the set up to a great story that Prince could tell at his next talk. If anyone could make a half empty piano bar sound exciting and dramatic, it's Prince.Extra credit fun fact we found out while visiting him: Prince was born in Indiana.

Twitterbomb Marco Rubio at 3pm Today
Equality Florida is asking fair-minded people to join them in a Twitterbomb targeting Marco Rubio, the junior United States Senator from Florida. His policy positions are #outoftouch in 2013. He'll have to evolve to be viable as a presidential candidate.As a Floridian, let me apologize to the rest of the nation for our inexperienced junior US Senator and his bigoted homophobic rants against the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Just the other week, I wrote to GOP Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and encouraged her to slap down her fellow lawmaker from Miami. I wish Ros-Lehtinen, who was once a teacher; would make Rubio stand in the corner wearing a dunce cap for his blatant hatred of LGBT-people. Ros-Lehtinen has not yet responded to my plea. On a personal note, I hope Ileana joins us in this Twitterbomb to her junior and less experienced colleague Rubio.Sen Rubio went on a homophobic bender, opposing ENDA and threatening to walk away from Immigration Reform if it protects gay couples. Help make sure he hears that his words are wrong, heartless and #outoftouch by joining a Twitterbomb June 18th.Check out this webpage for other ways to take action and share this link on your social media pages.Participate in our twitterbomb at 3pm EST!

Masturbating Fetuses for Rubio?
Today's Republican Party is in serious trouble. By its own admission, drastic changes -- particularly in the way the party reaches out to minority groups -- are needed if the GOP hopes to remain competitive in 2014 and beyond.Unfortunately for them, the whole outreach thing isn't going very well -- the Republican war on women continues unabated, the future of immigration reform is uncertain, Republicans are attacking minority voting rights across the country, and the party seems intent on sabotaging its prospects with young voters by maintaining its hate-fueled opposition to LGBT rights.Despite the lack of progress among women, African Americans, Latinos, and LGBTs, the GOP does appear to be making inroads with one long-overlooked demographic group: frisky fetuses.

Tone-Deaf: Michelle Shocked Playing SF on Pride Day
In what can only be described as a shocking display of tone deafness, San Francisco Examiner president Todd Vogt announced via Twitter this weekend that the newspaper will present folk singer Michelle Shocked live in a free concert in San Francisco at the end of this month:U heard it here 2nd: Yup, it's true! We are "shocked" to be presenting Michelle Shocked live in a free concert in SF on June 30!— Todd Vogt (@sfExaminerPrez) June 15, 2013Readers will remember Shocked as the singer whose career imploded in March after she stunned a San Francisco audience with a vicious onstage homophobic tirade.Shocked infamously remarked:So it's not too late. You can jump into this Jesus gang anytime you want. But, um, I was in a prayer meeting yesterday, and you've gotta appreciate how scared, how scared folks on that side of the equation are. I mean, from their vantage point -- and I really shouldn't say 'their,' because it's mine, too -- we are nearly at the end of time. And from our vantage point, we're gonna be, uhhh, I think maybe Chinese water torture is gonna be the means, the method -- once Prop 8 gets, uh, instated, and once, um, preachers are held at gunpoint and forced to marry the homosexuals, I'm pretty sure that that will be the signal for Jesus to come on back.And it got worse from there.

That is the biggest problem, and I think especially the men are... seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to try to figure out how to create education better so that we can solve this problem.

Pam Spaulding to Close Site & Retire
Pam Spaulding, a longtime fixture of the LGBT blogosphere, announced last night that she will be retiring and closing her site, Pam's House Blend, on July 1. She will continue to be active in social media like Facebook and Google+.All good things must come to an end, even after numerous awards and accolades, it's time to acknowledge that I cannot continue to run on fumes alone. The Blend could continue limping along, but my health and well-being come first; over the last few years burning the candle at both ends with a full-time offline job and PHB. It has taken a severe toll -- most readers have learned that I am dealing with chronic pain conditions -- fibromylagia, and in the last couple of years, aggressive rheumatoid arthritis.My decision to close the blog is just as reality-based as its content has been. If I cannot produce material at the frequency or with the same level of quality, enthusiasm and effectiveness, it's really time to close the doors to this coffeehouse -- and work to ensure it continues to have a life as an archive, a snapshot in our digital political history. Pamshouseblend.com will redirect to archives.I was introduced to Pam's writing by fellow Hoosier Melissa McEwan's regular links from Shakespeare's Sister. We started corresponding occasionally and met for the first time in 2007 at an LGBT blogger gathering hosted by Mike Rogers in Washington DC. Our paths have continued to cross at award ceremonies and conferences and I've walked away each time in awe of her wit, grace, and humility.Pam's House Blend's mission was admirable: to lift up voices that were often unheard, to provide analysis of current events, and to do good solid reporting on LGBT issues from the South. When we decided to turn Bilerico into a national group blogger site, Pam was the first person I contacted. I wanted her to know we didn't want to compete with her; while Bilerico's contributors were exclusive, her site was more democratic since anyone could create an account. She truly didn't want anyone to feel left out.I'll miss Pam's regular reporting, but I understand how large of a burden running a large blog can be. I'll admit that if I'd faced all of the health problems that she has, I'd likely have retired years ago. She has the fortitude of an elephant; Pam just keeps pushing on. That's only one of the many things I admire about her, but her determination has always been a source of inspiration.Pam's views, filtered though a black lesbian lens, have been incredibly valuable as a way of challenging my own opinions as a white gay man. While she may be retiring her own site, I know that I can continue to count on getting glimpses of her thoughts via social media. She's not going anywhere; she's just changing mediums.

It Takes A (Gay) Village In 'Call Me Kuchu'
An excellent documentary looks at Uganda's controversial Anti-Homosexuality Bill — both its personal and political implications — through the story of activist David Kato. While emotionally crushing, the documentary is unmistakably a celebration of LGBT activists. (Recommended)

OP(era) ED II: Top TENors
Editor's Note: Guest blogger Michael Knaapen will be writing periodic guest posts for The Bilerico Project because he's sleeping with the Managing Editor, John Becker. They've been married for over seven years.Ahh, the tenor - one of life's misunderstood creatures. So gallant, yet so panicked. So virtuous, yet so dumb. So virile, yet so pudgy. The tenor is a mystery and a marvel. Women love them and men want to be them, and vice versa. The thrill of their soaring, superhuman high notes spices up every great opera, and the best tenors will steal the show by displays of talent as chromatic and elegant as a peacock's plumage. Here is a list of the ten greatest tenors in recent memory*, rated from ten to one in order of awesomeness.10.) Jonas Kaufmann (b. 1969)This guy's super hot. And not just opera hot; real-people hot. Maybe not rummage in the garbage, learn his secrets, and Fatal Attraction him hot, but casual stalker hot. Also, he sings pretty. Kaufmann's voice has unforced richness and power that put to rest the augurs of cynical opera aficionados; far from dead, opera is hotter than ever!He attained stardom only a few years ago, and I was lucky enough to hear him paired with Natalie Dessay in Manon at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2008. They dominated that opera, interpreting it with an almost competitive athleticism. Here you can hear him in that very production sharing a more intimate moment: 9.) Joseph Calleja (b. 1978)There's an old-world charm about Calleja's voice that is inescapable, a warmth that harkens back to the Golden Age of singers like Gigli and Schipa. Some people hate it, but I love it! It's warm and lyrical. Plus he kind of just looks like a sweet, nice boy, which is what most tenor roles call for and absolutely no tenor physically resembles. His performance of Alfredo in the 2007 Lyric Chicago Traviata convinced me he was more than a utilitarian tenor but rather a supremely gifted artist; he enlivens the roles of Alfredo, Duca, Nemorino, and the like, de rigeur at every house every year, with nuance and passion, breathing new life into a series of characters better known for their songs than their struggles. He is also the youngest man on the list, and I look forward to following his career. Here he is in Traviata: 8. Clifton Forbis (b. ?)If you're not familiar with Forbis, that's something you must remedy. Likely the greatest dramatic tenor of the past two decades, his Tristan and Siegmund are unbeatable. I was fortunate to hear him live in both roles, and his voice was so powerful he woke up the nonagenarians at the matinée. His voice is also dark, almost unbelievably so, such that on first hearing it you are taken aback. Recordings do not do justice to the superhuman strength he can summon, but this nonetheless showcases one of his best roles: 7.) Frank Lopardo (b. 1957)Another tremendous talent that everyone should know, Lopardo sings everything. I heard his Lensky in Chicago, and when I got home I found a YouTube clip of him singing Rossini. From then on I was hooked. Lopardo's voice is like the perfect man: rich, strong, and versatile. Listen to this performance of "Ah dov'e il cimento" from Rossini's Semiramide. That's what I'm talkin' about!6.) Franco Corelli (1921-2003)First things first: Corelli's a babe. He's also an awesome singer, with a voice that was both heroic and plaintive. Corelli was a neurotic but brilliant vocalist who was one of the only tenors ever to have honored the diminuendo Verdi wrote on the final Bb in "Celeste Aida." Corelli worked and worked until he could do it, and a single recording of his Radames testifies to his success. Dynamic (sometimes hysterical) onstage, possessed of a finely crafted and simultaneously raw and powerful voice, Corelli ranks high on the list for good reason. And did I mention that he's a babe?

What You Need to Know: 6/9 - 6/16
Here are some stories from the past week's news that you should know about: After years of struggle and repeated targeting by the conservative state government, an Indiana support organization for LGBT youth appears (again) to have won the right to offer a special-interest license plate. Although representing an oasis of gay freedom compared to its repressive neighbors, a new study finds that with a majority of citizens not supporting gay acceptance, Israel lags far behind its Western allies. Pope Francis' mention of a "gay lobby" within the Vatican caused quite a stir last week, confirming longstanding rumors of an organized sect of "gay" priests. As the State Duma passed a repressive bill essentially outlawing any discussion of homosexual, anti-gay violence broke out with the beating and arrest of pro-LGBT protestors. (warning: link contains images of violence) GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio made it clear in an interview with Think Progress that he doesn't support ENDA or any other "special protections based on orientation" A new Pew Research survey finds concern among LGBT people that the fight for marriage equality may overshadow other important LGBT civil rights battles. At its first national LGBT event, the UN recognized the Vietnamese government for the progress the Asian nation has made towards LGBT acceptance. GLAAD called out PBS for using the co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) as an on-air consultant providing a constitutional context for the Supreme Court's role in relation to the fight for marriage equality. Finally, in honor of Father's Day, have a look at this lovely story of two amazing men, their family, and quest for equality within their home state.

Here's a preview of a powerful new documentary film, Call Me Kuchu, that's currently playing at New York City's Quad Cinema and opens next Friday in Los Angeles at Laemmle's Music Hall.Call Me Kuchu documents the struggle of Ugandan LGBT activists against that nation's infamous (and stil pending) Anti-Homosexuality Bill. The primary subject of the film is veteran activist David Kato, whose photo was famously printed on the front page of Rolling Stone newspaper underneath the words "hang them." Kato was brutally murdered during the making of the film, but directors Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall decided to continue production out of a sense of responsibility they felt to Kato, his family, and his imperiled LGBT community.Watch the official trailer for Call Me Kuchu after the jump, and check out the film's website for a list of upcoming screenings.

Watch Sex Scandals; Pope Francis; Senator Olympia Snowe on PBS.

Obama Recognizes Gay Fathers
"Being a good parent - whether you're gay or straight; a foster parent or a grandparent - isn't easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody's perfect. To this day, I'm still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids...[If] we can do our best to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be; then we will have succeeded. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend."-- President Barack Obama, speaking about fatherhood yesterday in his weekly address to the nation.
