Latino Sexuality Links

A blog post is coming soon, I'm just super busy with the New York International Latino Film Festival this weekend. I have a press pass and am going to see three films:

Friday:
JUAN MELENDEZ - 6446 plays with
ESPERANDO MUJERES (WAITING FOR WOMEN)


Saturday:
DOS AMERICAS: THE RECONSTRUCTION OF NEW ORLEANS which plays with: BELOW THE FOLD and PURO DOMINICANO


Dr. Joycelyn Elders, the US Surgeon General under Clinton part 1 who got booted for saying we should talk to youth about masturbation as a form of safe sex (I LOVE her), has advice for the Surgeon General Nominee.

My homegirl Laura sent me this posting called "Hats off to beautiful femmes" by Ivan Coyote which has the quote:

I want to thank you for coming out of the closet. Again and again, over and over, for the rest of your life. At school, at work, at your kid’s daycare, at your brother’s wedding, at the doctor’s office. Thank you for sideswiping their stereotypes.


You can read more about the Las Vegas Porn Museum. Is it true about what stays in Vegas?

Here's my Los Amigos Invisibles review of their latest record: Commercial.

Finally, in my class today we are discussing performance, women's work, gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sex. What better than John Leguizamo's clip from his 1991 Mambo Mouth?
