I’m super-excited about this year’s Q-Fest….and I’m not even gay!
There are a pair of must-see gay-themed films making their St. Louis debuts; I Am Divine, a documentary about the late crossdresser and John Waters frequent star, and James Franco’s Interior Leather Bar, a high-concept recreation of scenes that were cut from William Friedkin’s notorious 1980 gay serial killer movie Cruising. Divine was one of the biggest, most outrageous, and proudly different gay cultural icons the world has known and the new documentary about the performer I Am Divine plays at Q-fest this Friday night at 7pm. A high (or low) point in Divine’s career was John Waters 1972’s masterpiece Pink Flamingos where he/she competes for the title of “filthiest person alive” by eating fresh dog poop. With antics like that, it’s no surprise that the emerging punk scene adopted his visage on t-shirts.

Over the last decade many states have debated the allowance or denial of gay marriage, especially in California where a new law seems to take effect every other year. Only a handful of states currently allow gay marriage while many others have passed civil union laws. What do you do when you’ve been with someone for twenty-five years and you still can’t legally marry in your state of residence? For Stephen Mosher and Pat Dwyer the answer is simple: you get married in all the states that will let you. Married and Counting, directed by Allan Piper, is a testament to love and human rights.
