YUMURTA*

*YUMURTA = eggs (Turkish) I am not an artists. Having said that, I think it is safe to present my first art project, part of the past YOLK! party in Panke on April 23.

Bruce LaBruce: The Advocate For Fagdom

Combining independent cinema and gay porn is just one of the things Bruce LaBruce is famous for. Besides being a successful, provocative director, the 46-year-old Canadian is a photographer, journalist and theatre director based in Toronto. He is also a diva – not in terms of extravagant outfits, but in terms of attitude and self-confidence: you can literally hear his

Intimacy // Steven Beckly

Recently I discovered my need of intimacy. I don’t mean hooking up with just anyone or simply getting physical. It’s not even necessarily about exchange of fluids. Intimacy had turned to a kitsch accessory I hide behind the pillow for a while, but now I’m all about it. Maybe it’s the winter. Or maybe it’s the music I am listening
