LADY GAGA WANTS TO BE A GAY GOD
in her recent interview with OUT MAGAZINE, lady gaga sets the record straight. she wants everything gay.

according to writers- Joshua David Stein & Noah Michelson, "Her devotion to gay culture is unparalleled by any other artist operating at her level of visibility or success. “When I started in the mainstream it was the gays that lifted me up,” she says. “I committed myself to them and they committed themselves to me, and because of the gay community I’m where I am today.” Earlier this year, in her acceptance speech for her MuchMusic award for best international video, Lady Gaga thanked “God and the gays.” Before agreeing to tour with Kanye West this fall, Gaga told the rapper, “I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay.” That’s another clause in the Gagaland constitution: Gay culture shall gush undiluted into the rapids of society. It shall not be co-opted, fancified, dolled up, or Uncle Tommed. “I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream,” she says, “It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.” READ MORE=

LAS PALMAS AVE- THEN & NOW
as you all know, ANTEBELLUM gallery is located @ 1643 n las palmas ave, in the heart of hollywood. i was able to find some archival photos of las palmas & hollywood blvd from back in the day- courtesy- the go-go's notebook.
back in the late 60's & early 70's, las palmas ave was the epicenter of gay theater, sex clubs & street hustling.
THE INFAMOUS GOLD CUP- on las palmas ave & hollywood blvd. back in the 70s, the gold cup was the place to pick up white-trash male hookers and take them for a spin in your 67 cougar. the place was always packed with all shades of gay for pay boys. i remember the food being soooo bad, it was impossible to actually eat there. even the coffee tasted like a brown crayon dipped in luke warm water.
INTERIOR OF THE GOLD CUP circa 1970
LAS PALMAS AVE- facing north- circa 1967. during the late 60s & early 70s, las palmas ave was a mecca for gay cruising & street trade. pictured here- baroque books, now antebellum gallery! and the las palmas theatre- now that tacky club E, where they filmed that tired film- knocked up with that spoiled actress katherine heigl.
LAS PALMAS AVE - facing north- 2008- see how banal las palmas has become? the one saving grace, that island of fetish- antebellum gallery!

GUY BRINGS GUN TO OBAMA TOWN MEETING
another glaring example of antebellum, (as in before-war, not my gallery) a man brings a loaded gun to a presidential rally! and guess what? it's legal in new hampshire!! the church gave him permission.... ok, the end is near. now that churches are voting against people's rights, and allowing guns when a president is in their vicinity, IT IS TIME TO START TAXING CHURCHES
