About the Show: While a mysterious blackout leaves a navy stranded near enemy territory, the libidinous Lieutenant Shane Horne puts her very specific talents to use, including with the general’s wife. Meanwhile, a famed Angel sends the Navy’s psychiatrist on an epic quest to save humanity. A subversive, sapphic s*x farce of classically epic proportions, Merry Me is a madcap and mischievous mashup of ancient mythology and restoration comedy—and an ode to female pleasure.

Witness the power of collaboration! The second annual ART+ LGBT History Month came together through the sheer determination of The Studio Door, Lambda Archives of San Diego, San Diego History Center, Mix Luera, Mike Balaban, and the Jeffrey D. Shorn + Charles S. Kaminski Trust. It's vital for the community to unite beyond celebrations, community service, and political stances. Art and history are the very roots of who we are as a diverse community. Join us before the end of the month to experience this important exhibition. Your support through art purchases is critical to keeping the gallery alive with community-powered exhibits and supporting local artists. Find connection!

In our November edition A Word from Parenting talks about Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance…Are you making it a point in your family to observe Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance? Sometimes it feels like these holidays appear every month, what even is the significance of these observances? They may not be as fun as Pride Month, but we can use this time to educate our communities about trans awareness and honor our trans siblings and friends whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

You can ask any gay in the village, and they will say that other than maybe Christmas, Halloween is their favorite “holiday” of the year. The costumes, the drama, the candy, the movies, the camp, the DRAG of it all. We particularly love all the classic horror references that translate beautifully to costumes and concepts to flaunt in social settings. I think of Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Hellraiser, Carrie, Nosferatu, to name a few, and at the top of the list, Dracula. Reas more about this fun n fabulous show at The Old Globe running now till Nov 3…https://thewordsd.news/dracula-a-comedy-of-terrors/

A common theme among parent friends lately is STRESS! I am the kind of friend who tends to be approachable when friends have problems, and almost every friend who has needed a listening ear lately asked me how I am always so calm and how I manage to handle stress so well. The truth is that I have not always been this way, and it has taken more than a decade of parenting to figure it out.

Art has long played a vital role in documenting and preserving the stories of marginalized communities.
