» At first Piyarat Piyapongwiwat's "Queerness", a series of photographs of couples, doesn't appear to be a gay art exhibition. The photos aren't a celebration of sexuality or an overt claim for rights. These are subtle and personal portraits; the relationships are not always immediately apparent and there is a timeless element to the compositions. As in a black and white photograph of your great-grandparents, the couples don't smile. They are posing, but not formally. The impression is of a quick window into the lives of couples, as they turn to look momentarily _ before resuming their lives. It's an intimate demonstration that same-sex couples are as loving and connected as any other.

» Last Tuesday on Channel 3's variety show Tee Sip At Ten), presenter Vitawat Sunthornwinate invited a gay man living with HIV on to the show to talk about his life before he became infected. After the show aired, many audience members expressed their displeasure on their Facebook pages as they felt that there was negativity towards gay men through Vitawat's words and how the episode stigmatised that every gay man shared a common lifestyle. Sadly, this is an example of how some media proclaim to create a better (or worse) understanding rather than stereotypical, old-fashioned views of LGBT in the society.

» Yes, a lot did happen this month of February, the shortest month of the year, and we have witnessed both good and bad news. The return of the forever-young queen of pop music Madonna to the throne kicked off this month with joy and excitement, especially among the gay community, who admire the legendary star as a gay icon. With her first single released, Give Me All Your Luvin' from her 12th studio album titled MDNA, Madonna also collaborated with top gay favourite artists such as Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. The YouTube video clip of Madonna's unforgettable performance during the 46th Super Bowl half-time show went viral and marked the start of her promising comeback to the music scene. Rumour has it, Madonna will be touring the world and Bangkok is on the list!
In Full Bloom

» It was the stare that always got you. The bold, direct, Cleopatran stare of a woman who knows that she holds the reins simply because she's very comfortable in her own skin. In the '80s, her fame came from posing for sultry, eroticised photos that steamed up the rooms of men, young and old. Now Penpak Sirikul is 51. She has a 30-year-old son. She has no beau at the moment ("I won't hide, I never hide"). But she stares you down and disembowels you with her smouldering, black-widow heat. Look closely, boys: even now, Penpak doesn't do seduction. She is seduction.

» Have you ever wondered how many people would choose "bananas and a muscular man" over "milk and a pretty girl" if they were the sole castaway on an island? Do you want to know how many girls out there would allow their boyfriends to take pictures of them naked? How many guys prefer beautiful dumb girls over intelligent homely ones? How many ladyboys would try to win over a man she liked?
