10. DVD: L.A. Zombie
Controversial director of films like Hustler White, The Raspberry Reich, and Otto; or Up With Dead People, art-porn auteur Bruce LaBruce is back with a sexually graphic critique of contemporary gay culture that must be seen to be believed -- if not totally understood. Model and porn star Francois Sagat stars as a horny homeless creature who brings corpses back to life with his penis. Look for cameos by Matthew Rush, Santino Rice, and Tony Ward.
9. FILM: Limelight
Get a wicked contact high from Billy Corben's fascinating documentary, which opens September 23 in limited release, about the rise and fall of nightlife king Peter Gatien, owner of legendary gay-inclusive Manhattan hot spots like Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium -- until Mayor Giuliani's mid-'90s drug crackdowns led to Gatien's deportation. The film includes interviews with famous club scene denizens and key informants in Gatien's trial.
8. BOOK: Idols, Gilles Larrain
Gilles Larrain captured the fabulousness of New York City's gay liberation movement in vibrant Kodachrome for his 1973 collection of studio portraits featuring drag queens, transsexuals, and gender-benders like Warhol disciples Holly Woodlawn and Taylor Mead, Beck's grandpa Al Hansen, and a teenage Harvey Fierstein. PowerHouse Books has just rereleased the book with a new foreword by gay photographer Ryan McGinley.
7. FILM: Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Based on three years of interviews with hundreds of soldiers and veterans, both gay and straight, out writer-performer Marc Wolf reenacted conversations and personal anecdotes about "don't ask, don't tell" for his one-man, 18-character off-Broadway hit, Another American: Asking and Telling. Geared to the recent demise of the controversial policy, a new film adaptation of Wolf's show is now available at SnagFilms.com.
6. TV: The Chew
Forget that it's replacing All My Children and focus on the fact that ABC's food-centric chat show, which premieres September 26, is bringing another gay man to daytime television: Fashion writer and What Not to Wear host Clinton Kelly (pictured) pulls up a chair to a table that includes Top Chef's Carla Hall, nutritionist (and Dr. Oz's daughter) Daphne Oz, and Iron Chef America heavyweights Mario Batali and Michael Symon.
5. TV: The Amazing Race
The teams on season 19 of the Emmy-winning reality competition, which premieres September 25 on CBS, will travel through four continents and 20 cities, making first-time pit stops in locales such as Indonesia, Malawi, Belgium, and Denmark. Competitors include Ron Zeitz and Bill Smith (pictured), 40-something flight attendants who have been partners for 13 years. We'll also be tracking Las Vegas showgirls Lisa and Kaylani.
4. TV: The Real World: San Diego
MTV's landmark reality series returns September 28 for its 26th season, its second sleepover in San Diego. "I hook up with, like, everybody," says bisexual New Yorker Frank Sweeney (pictured, left), an athletic activist who parties until he blacks out. Also getting real is Sam McGinn (right), a self-professed "stud lesbian" from Virginia who's studying to be a parole officer when she's not performing as her drag king alter ego.
3. WEB: Husbands
Say "I do" to this surprisingly smart and sassy new Web series from YouTube personality Brad "Cheeks" Bell and prolific TV writer Jane Espenson of Buffy and Battlestar Galactica fame. Starring Cheeks, Sean Hemeon, and Caprica's Alessandra Torresani, the 11-part "marriage equality comedy" milks chuckles from the scandal when a pro baseball player drunkenly marries a flamboyant actor. For more info visit HusbandsTheSeries.com.
2. TV: The Good Wife, Happy Endings, Desperate Housewives, and Family Guy
More of our favorite LGBT TV characters return this week: bisexual private investigator Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) in CBS's The Good Wife; gay schlub Max (Adam Pally) in ABC's Happy Endings; Wisteria Lane couple Bob and Lee (Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm) in the final season of ABC's Desperate Housewives; and Stewie, the cartoon baby Seth MacFarlane called "almost certainly gay," on season 10 of Fox's Family Guy.
1. FILM: Weekend
A stirring British LGBT film festival favorite that earned Outfest's International Grand Jury Award, Andrew Haigh's tender, naturalistic, unflinchingly honest gay romance begins its national theatrical rollout September 23 in New York. Tom Cullen and Chris New are utterly absorbing as guys who meet at a nightclub and spend the next 48 hours having hot sex, sharing their stories, and baring their souls. For more info visit Weekend-Film.com.
