CCA 6th Annual Talent Show

E-mail

Central California Alliance (CCA) held it’s 6^th Annual Talent Show on Tuesday night, January 24^th, at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater in the Tower District. Gay Fresno staff was in attendance and had a wonderful time. The evening began with dinner and conversation, followed by a viewing of the items up for silent auction. Once the show started, the full house responded enthusiastically to the roster of entertainers taking the stage. From musical standards to Broadway, the vocalists were emotional and strong. There were energetic dance performances alongside both broad and satirical comedy. Rounding things out was a beautiful and delicate selection performed with hand bells, and a stellar performance of cutting edge, humor infused hip-hop by The Argyle Pimps. The evening included performances by Thomas Fitzgerald, Three From The Heart, Icon, Tracy Jones, Anthonie Trujillo, Richard Gosvener, Brian X, The Argyle Pimps, Lilly Murray, Beth Gonzales and The Fresno Gay Men’s Chorus.

California's Battle For Marriage Equality

Join EQCA & Gay Fresno on Valentines Day by requesting a marriage license from Fresno County as an LGBT couple or individual...see CALENDAR for details... I sat down recently to talk with Molly McKay, Field Director for Equality California, www.eqca.org during her visit to Fresno for a meeting with EQCA’s local chapter leaders. We discussed the issue of marriage equality in California and what we can expect in 2006. While the battle rages on, Molly is confident California is on the edge of the legalization of gay marriage. Until that day comes, we can’t slow down in our efforts to do everything to educate and inform Californians about the consequences to LGBT individuals if we continue to be denied the right to marry. Molly shared with me a story of a senior gay couple who’d been together for 50 years. When one partner died, the other was left with nothing, literally no place to live. These are the kind of things that need to be made clear to those not supporting equal civil rights for gay people. It’s difficult to believe that in the United States Of America, the greatest country on Earth, many of our fellow citizens, while often risking everything to commit to an openly gay relationship, may be left with none of the protections afforded our heterosexual counterparts.

Box Office So Far... Domestic: 81 Million / Foreign: 67 Million TOTAL 148 Million Production Budget: 14 Million Academy Awards Original Score Adapted Screenplay Best Director I attended a screening of Brokeback Mountain on Monday with a gathering of friends and others brought together by Gay Fresno. It was a great movie and a great experience. We had good laughs, good conversation and I felt a unity and appreciation in the group. We’re proud this film is out there, getting incredible reviews and making a lot of money. This groundbreaking movie is one of those things that comes around for us only once in a while, and I could feel it in myself and those around me. Watching Brokeback at the IMAX theater on a big screen was mesmerizing. The film is truly remarkable. It’s a quiet movie, filled with subtlety and carefully orchestrated shots. The acting, especially by Heath Ledger, is superior. I believed every person and situation in this film and I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Post a comment on this article
