PrEP Guide A handy handbook to the HIV prevention drug Plus your guide to London's hottest queer events The Informer Equal marriage bill set to pass in Chile Though recognizing same-sex civil unions for the past four years, gay marriage is still not legal in Chile That could be changing very soon as the new president of Chile’s upper house of parliament, Jamie Quintana, has promised to pass a marriage equality bill in this legislative year Quintana is set to take office on the 12th of March, and he took the opportunity on Sunday to tweet out “Chile is in full cultural change, demands wider freedoms and rights” He shared that there is “no doubt” that an equal marriage bill will pass this legislative year The South American country is overwhelmingly in support of LGBT equality, with local media outlets characterising the fight for marriage equality as a ‘clear horizon in sight’ The country has also been making strides with transgender rights with the passing of a Gender Identity Bill back in September which allowed anyone over the age of 14 to legally change their name and gender without undergoing surgery Lucille Ball revealed to use poppers in her later years Poppers have a distinct place within the gay community, and it has recently been discovered that they also held a prominent place in the life of a beloved gay icon Lucille Ball was the television star best known for her turn as Lucy on the sitcom I Love Lucy which still regularly appears on American television Her brand of camp humour and sharp wit made her ripe for drag queen fodder, with countless queens noting her as a huge inspiration On a recently aired episode of a series called "Autopsy, The Last Hours of…" it was revealed by investigator Dr Michael Hunter that the comedienne frequently used poppers to treat chest pains in her final few years A friend of Lucy who is interviewed shares: “I remember we were playing backgammon one night, all of a sudden she had a shortness of breath She took out poppers, which were a certain type of sexual thing people did back in the eighties.” Education Secretary backs LGBT lessons in Birmingham school Parkfield Community school has been the focus of a slew of news articles after 600 students walked out of lessons in protest of the LGBT-inclusive lessons that were being taught at the school The school’s ‘No Outsiders’ program was designed to encourage children to be ‘happy and excited’ about living in a diverse community, but its teaching on embracing LGBT identities didn’t sit well with some parents, who disagreed with the program’s promotion of homosexuality, and staged a protest were they sported slogans reading “indoctrination, not education” Following the controversy, the UK Education Secretary Damian Hinds has backed the school’s teachers and their anti-bullying lessons Speaking to Schools Week about the controversy, Hinds elaborated on new guidelines that were published last month which states that “we expect all pupils to have been taught” about LGBT issues He shared: “I’ve always been clear that I support headteachers to make decisions and we believe in school autonomy, that school leaders are best-placed to make decisions.” He also went on to state that it’s also important to “consult with parents” on these issues, which is “just good practice” Family of famous drag kid respond to abuse allegations

Instagram post, they took the opportunity to respond to these allegations, sharing that they had been “under a microscope since December”.The parents shared: ”We had announced visits & unannounced visits to our home nearly daily & at all hours & Desmond’s school Our family was probed more intensely than any other case before All allegations were “unfounded.”’ It was revealed that there are

T GAY SEX THE AGES H R O U G H Chronicling how men meet other men for sex, filmmaker Oliver Mason dove into half a century of the UK’s sexual history, looking at the impact the internet had on our sexual culture Through intimate interviews recalling first-hand accounts, he weaves together a brief history of gay sex, from the caravan clubs all the way through to the apps We caught up with him ahead of the short film’s premiere to pick his brain about the impact the world wide web has had on our sex lives Hey Oli! How did you go about finding your subjects; people that were willing to openly discuss their sexual escapades? Well, I guess that was one of the problems I specifically wanted it to cover hooking up through the ages It wasn’t going to be about romance and partnerships I’m in my early-mid thirties and I have a lot of gay friends my age with a little bit of variation, so my biggest concern was that I wanted to have a breadth of ages for it to feel reflective of the UK I started panicking about finding much older gay men, so my mum suggested a friend of hers who I did interview He opens the whole film Must be awkward the next time he’s round for tea Yeah! He’s a bit older but I still wanted to try and get men with different stories, say, from the 1950s I heard a great story from a friend about a couple who met cruising in Piccadilly Circus just after WW2 and stayed together ever since until one of them passed away 10-20 years ago, and the other died last year A week or two into interviewing men my age and a little older I had a panic of finding people at the younger end of the spectrum I wanted to cover men around the age of 20 who would have grown up with a mobile phone So you start off in the ‘70s? There’s a prelude which covers secret gentlemen’s clubs which, from my limited research around them, existed in the ‘20s, until possibly the ‘70s or ‘80s We start properly in the ‘70s with the Hanky Code and the first Gay Pride in London The hanky code was a way of singling sexual tastes or interests, where the colour of your hanky might indicate the type of sexual interaction you were looking for, be it anal or fisting, to more complicated fetishes you might want The original published guide was maybe eight colours, and then by the time it was put on the internet in the ‘90s there were about 50 colours with very specific interests qxmagazine.com “In the past, you had to physically be there to show you were interested, whereas now you can be as anonymous as you like u p.” “it was a subversive punk act of rebellion I thought that was fucking awesome.” Where you go on from there? Whilst we move chronologically forwards, I’ve carved out prevalent behaviours from each era Moving to the 80s you have cottaging and cruising, back to back I had this phenomenal contributor who was very intelligent and clear in expressing his feelings, saying that mostly when he was cottaging as a teenager in the early ‘80s, for him cottaging wasn’t just a sexual act, it was a form of rebellion It was a way of fighting against heteronormative society What he was doing was illegal because the age of consent was 21, he was 17, plus it was a public space For him, it was a subversive punk act of rebellion I thought that was fucking awesome Then come the nineties! Then we move on to the arrival of the internet, which was ‘89, but computers weren’t really in the home until the late ‘90s There was a very clear cut gay use of the internet with the launch of Gaydar.com in ‘99 I was chatting to my mum’s friend who mentioned there were other ways they had of meeting men before Gaydar, with ICQ and other messaging sites, forums and chatrooms By the ‘90s on forums, you could be a little less coded, a little more obvious in what you were looking for What I found really interesting with people who were using all these digital spaces, a lot of the time it was for community and connection, as well as being for sex or relationships Decriminalisation happened back in ‘67 but it only became somewhat socially acceptable in the 80s and 90s, but even then it could be quite isolating And after the Internet came the App Grindr launched back in 2009 Based on the interviews (and personal experience) the fact that you could have access any time anywhere was very different It wasn’t a case of only when you were at home at your desktop, or at work as a lot of people did, you could be on the tube, walking down the street, going to the doctors, it was always there You didn’t have to go to a cruising ground or a toilet A point quite a few people made was whilst it opened up the access to men having sex with men, it also made it possible to be even more secretive In the past, you had to physically be there to show you were interested, whereas now you can be as anonymous as you like up until that point of meeting Having looked back across the decades, what you think the future holds for men meeting other men for sex? Technology is ever changing I’m sure there will be crazy virtual ways for meeting but not physically meeting men in the future I personally would always like a physical experience, but who knows, suddenly porn becomes more interactive, a lot more interesting My personal hope is that the gay community and queer spaces still exist It’s interesting seeing that other spaces are trying to open, spaces not just for drinking and clubbing Have We Met Before is on BBC at 10pm on Sunday, the 17th of March qxmagazine.com CL UB NE W S For our Musts & Maybes listings, see pages 36-40 or visit the What’s On section at www.qxmagazine.com A:M Friday 15th March Here’s something to NOT bring your mum to A:M starts, fittingly, at 1am and goes on until 10am Crikey!

I’m very excited but also feeling introspective looking back at the various acts of my career I’ve had more acts than the Royal Variety Performance, because I’ve reinvented myself so many times Having said that, I very much believe in looking forward People sometimes say you’re over the hill when you get to a certain point in your career but for me there’s a lot more hills to climb My best days are still to come Your first gig was on St Patrick’s Day, 1989 Tell us a bit about how that came to be In the summer of ‘88 my good friend, Brian Brady, and I started doing a lot of fundraisers in Boston because the AIDS epidemic was killing off many of our friends We invented these gameshow host characters - Kandi Kane Baxter being one - and we got different charity groups to compete Then we started getting known for shooting videos which we would screen in our house When they became really popular we were approached by the owner of one of the biggest clubs in Boston and he offered us a night At that time, few people had ever seen themselves on a screen so it was a big deal We also cast our friends so they invited their friends along The night was a sell-out and we were having so much fun that I’d totally forgotten about money, so when the owner of the club handed me a huge wad of cash at the after-party, and I saw that we’d made more money on one night than I made in two weeks at my day job, I decided it was time for a career change Within a couple of months I’d quit my day job completely and took up drag full time At that point did you think drag would be a long-term career? You know what’s really weird; at that time thinking of the future was a luxury because so many people were dying We really did live in the present I wasn’t thinking much further than the next couple of gigs Over the years you’ve met and worked with some amazing people Who was the most fun to be around? I’ve met and worked with a lot of the legendary queens: Lady Bunny, Sherry Vine, Joey Arias, Dorian Corey from Paris is Burning, Jackie Beat, Chi Chi La Rue and so many more The one that really sticks out: I was hosting a red party in Columbus, Ohio - one of these circuit parties with five thousand gay men - and Holly Woodlawn was guest of honour, and we out for the night Afterwards, myself, James (my partner) and a select few went to a private party and found ourselves in a hot tub at 2am listening intently to Holly recount magnificent stories about Andy Warhol and Lou Reed and all of those people from The Factory I was in a hot tub with a Hollywood legend - that was pretty cool There’s been a lot of fun times along the way, and, as with any long term career, a touch of controversy Would you go back and delete anything? I would have approached the original character of Lisa Q Jones differently, back in 2001 Because I was known for playing so many different characters; young and old, gay and straight, male and female; I thought I was showing range by playing a strong and very well developed three-dimensional character that happened to be biracial If I knew then what I know now I’d have played her as the blonde-haired, blued-eyed version she is now What would you say is your proudest accomplishment? My YouTube channel Which came before I was on RuPaul’s Drag Race As a result of that channel, I became known around the world - as well known as a lot of the girls who’d been on Drag Race I did two sold out shows in Australia and was flown to international gigs Cher started following me on Twitter, I worked with Kylie, Lady Gaga knew who I was, and I landed a TV comedy pilot which I won an award for So I really am very proud of the channel 30 more years? ABSOLUTELY! Looking forward to it My mom is 86 and my dad is 90 and they’re both going strong I have good genes Charlie Hides will be performing at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, 372 Kennington Lane, London SE11 5HY on Sunday 17th March Your guide to the week’s best bar, club & cabaret events in London 13th Mar - 19th Mar Charlie Hides @ CMYK musts and maybes Beefmince @ Royal Vauxhall Tavern Wednesday Friday WEDNESDAY 13TH MARCH CLUBS & EVENTS Eagle Classics Wednesday at Eagle London: 349 Kennington Lane SE11 5QY 8pm – 2am Free Entry A mix of classics and favourites from now going back 2-4-1 drinks from 9pm – 11pm Man Up at The Glory: 281 Kingsland Road, E2 8AS Show time 8pm Heat of the acclaimed yearly drag king contest!
