When I started at Harvard in the fall of 1998, I never imagined that I would end up as the co-chair of Harvard’s Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender (BGLT) and Supporters Alliance. I found BGLT activism confusing and scary, and I certainly had no intention of becoming publicly involved in an organization whose members were generally assumed to be politically radical homosexuals. After all, queer politics weren’t my problem—they only applied to people who didn’t know...
...said of the theater's opening production, Lulu (due to visit Washington in June). Casting 24-year-old actress Anna Friel as Frank Wedekind's legendary anti-heroine seemed to make great sense. Friel shot to British fame in 1994, principally for providing one half of the first lesbian kiss on a mainstream television soap, Brookside. Despite having appeared in 11 films, Friel has yet to enjoy the sort of celluloid success attained by her British contemporary Rachel Weisz, whose Enemy at the Gates has just opened, let alone the stellar heights of Catherine Zeta-Jones...
...started for most of us," says 39-year-old hipster director Pen-ek Ratanaruang (6ixtynin9). While the dramatic content is key, the flesh quotient in the movie is generous. Nonzee estimates that 20% of screen time features some nudity, and that includes voyeurism, four rapes and, of course, the lesbian scene Nonzee has held for the final day of shooting. "In my first film," marvels Nonzee, tugging on a Marlboro Light cigarette, "I wasn't even allowed to show a pair of breasts." But the board of censors is no longer made up of policemen...
...arrives spot on time, taking small steps in his prissy, dancerish walk. Dressed in cuffed chinos, Abercrombie sweatshirt and red bandana, the director comes across as half-ballerina, half-bad boy. Then he does a tricky little act: he claims to be uncertain as to how to film the lesbian scene. His two actresses are uncertain too, and they sit down with the director to discuss the angles, the actions, what they're expected to perform. Pataravarin Timkul, 23, televison star and daughter of one of Thailand's most famous actresses, is definitely nervous: she's never done...
...Fong '03, really tell Harvard students anything they could not already see with their own eyes everyday in the dining hall? Black students sit and eat and talk together. Asian students sit and eat and talk together. Athletes sit and eat and talk together. Members of the gay and lesbian community sit and eat and talk together. Preppy white people sit and eat and talk together. Self-segregation happens three times per day on the Harvard campus. This, in and of itself, is not such a horrible thing...
