Toronto Pride 2010 is now in the history books; but there are still Pride celebrations happening across Canada, the United States and around the world. This weekend I got a lovely little surprise that has my heart swelling with Pride! Read the full story

Last night was the latest edition of Destiny Production’s series of drum’n'bass events ‘Projek’ featuring talent from The World of Drum’N'Bass.

Destiny Productions has a long standing history of hosting some of the cities largest events, along with them come some of the most respected names in underground talent. Last night was no exception.

The UK’s LTJ Bukem (alongside MC Conrad)  & DJ SS respectfully entertained a crowd of underground music lovers from across the greater Toronto area. Throughout the evening shiney happy faces were easy to spot amongst the main room of The Guvernment Complex in downtown Toronto. Accompanied by ‘hands in the air’ enthusiastic fist pumping and a sea of dancing bodies, it was one of those crowds that was really ready to leave all their cares on the dance floor.

Both Bukem & SS delivered the sweat producing basslines that were expected. Even when technical difficulties arose from the sound system, the rare positive minded crowd that Destiny’s events draw in had little to say, ‘These things happen every now and then – why let it ruin an otherwise amazing time?’ This is one of the reasons I keep going back to their events – their party-goers are one of a kind.

Among this mindset is an all-inclusive attitude – event goers from every type of person are welcome. From the wildly tattooed and pierced easily identified alternative crowd, all the way up to Toronto Bay Street corporate executives, you can visually see a mixture of people – all unified by their love of music – exemplary.

I could talk about how wonderful of an event this is for page after page – but it’s much easier to encourage you to come out to their next one on June 18th which will feature a DJ set by UK producers Chase & Status accompanied by MC Rage – also at Toronto’s Guvernment Complex in the main room.

See you on the dancefloor.

Hell hath no fury like queer radio listeners scorned.

The dust is barely settling since last week’s sudden firing of not one—but four—Proud FM radio personalities: Deb Pearce, Patrick Marano (the morning team), Mark Wigmore and Shaun Proulx (the afternoon drive team). Read the full story

The very first thing that struck me about Mark was his openness, and his sense of humour. Then when I saw the video clip (you can see in this post below) of him winning a car on The Price is Right with Bob Barker, the deal was sealed, I really liked this guy.

Nina Arsenault, in 'The Silcone Diaries,' now playing at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Toronto.

Last night was the media preview for ‘The Silicone Diaries.’ Nina Arsenault’s one woman show that displays her life and transition from a man, into one of the most curvaceous and beautiful entities walking the streets of Toronto today.

Personally, I had never thought that I would come to know a transsexual woman.  This thought mostly stems from having little in my life story to relate to the idea of being uncomfortable in my body and wanting to change everything about it.  The whole idea of physically overhauling my body to enhance my self confidence and the feeling of being secure in who I am has never crossed my mind, and this makes transsexuals alien to me.
