Miami based LGBT activist and lawyer Elizabeth Schwartz has just published her first book BEFORE I DO : A Legal Guide to Marriage, Gay & Otherwise. On the eve of the book’s launch in P.Town on October 9th as part of Womensweek & BridePride, Elizabeth sat down with queerguru aka Roger Walker-Dack to explain why this book is essential reading for everyone about to get married …..including queerguru himself.
The interview was filmed by Richard Bolton for P.T.V.
Filmmaker Brandon Cordeiro was in New York the day after the massacre at the Pulse Club in Orlando and immediately on hearing the news, he became one of organizers of the spontaneous Vigil held later that day outside the Stonewall Inn. Later back home in Provincetown he decided that an appropriate way to both memorialize the innocent victims and to help raise funds for the survivors was to form a special Team to participate in P Town’s Annual Swim For Life.
For Cordeiro it marked a full circle as earlier that year he had released his first short movie called Ribbons which was about him as a young gay boy growing up in P.Town and witnessing the growth of the Swim For Life which had started 29 years ago to raise much needed funds for people with HIV. The AIDS pandemic had greatly impacted the town’s significant LGBT population, but it’s very crucial legacy from that difficult era was the way it brought the community together as a whole.
Each of the seemingly endless yards of strings of colorful ribbons that flutter in the wind at every Swim For Life bares a personal dedication to someone’s memory. This year the Event’s Director Jay Critchley decided to add one black ribbon for each of the people who lost their lives at Pulse, and in moving ceremony they were tied on to the display after each name was read out loud. Cordeiro was one of the speakers there and he announced plans to not only swim himself this year but to form a group with other swimmers specifically to honor the 49 innocent people.
queerguru talked to Cordeiro as he was donning his wetsuit just about to start the swim ….. and waited there to make sure he got back safely !
P.S. Provincetown’s annual SWIM FOR LIFE is now 29 years old, and has raised over $4million to help AIDS, Women’s Health and the Community. http://swim4life.org/
queerguru sat down with the outrageously funny Miss Richfield 1981 ostensibly to talk about her new show #BORNAGAIN at her new summer home on Provincetown at The Pilgrim House but the Queen of Shade couldn’t hold back dishing on so much more.
And this is only Part One as later that same day we filmed her filming a Facebook Live at Hook Provincetown that we will post very soon.
P.S.Queerguru would love you to bits if you did us one tiny favor. Despite the fact that we have had almost 285K hits on YouTube (yeah!) they will not give us a single cent of the advertising money that they make off us until we have more subscribers. Won’t cost you a dime, but it will help support our site. Just simply click on the link below. Thank you very much!
This Memorial Day Weekend The Golden Gays NYC should have been performing live at Pilgrim House in PTown but never one to let a something like COVID 19 get in their way, they are performing a GOLDEN DIGITAL DRAG BRUNCH instead. They will be beaming it live from NY via their own FB page (plus also the FB pages of Pilgrim House and QUEERGURU) so we tracked down Miss Blanche to talk all about it
