Another Reason To Head To The City.

Media Ted was a comic strip that ran in the early days of Polari. Here we look back at the short life of the little champ. Episode 3.

God Hates Terre Haute

16 Jan 2013 / Comments Off / in Oral Histories/by Walter Beck

Holy Hate-Roller!

A (Sort Of) Satirical Review of the Westboro Baptist Church’s 2010 I-70 God Smack Tour, as seen by Walter Beck.

“The Westboro folk made their grand entrance to the fine city of Terre Haute with the heiress herself, Shirley Phelps-Roper taking center stage, with four signs in her hands and a couple of inverted flags tied around her waist (the American flag, Rainbow Flag and I do believe I saw the Vatican flag as well).”

16 Jan 2013 / Comments Off / in Relationships/by Scott De Buitleir

Can cuddle, can’t ….

Walter Beck talks to independent folk musician Eli Van Sickel about his latest album Nightlife, his past records, and what the future holds.

WTF?! Friday • Flaming Bushes at Exodus International

11 Jan 2013 / Comments Off / in Editorial/by Christopher Bryant

Sweet Jesus, Mary!

Exodus International is a mission to renounce gay and become ex-gay. This blooper video shows how far they have to go.

“They clutch their imaginary pearls, and when they make a mistake exclaim with a wild abandon. Sweet Jesus, Mary! They may not love their gay selves, but their gay selves clearly still love them.

11 Jan 2013 / Comments Off / in WTF? Friday/by Editor

Search terms that have led readers to Polari.

It’s madness, and part of Polari’s WTF Friday features. Sick Poofs, Gay Headshaves and Witch Films.

Press ‘Send’ for Feedback

09 Jan 2013 / Comments Off / in Relationships/by Scott De Buitleir

And the Survey Says …

Gay Relationship Column. Scottie is asked for feedback on a date. Honestly. And now he’s going to Hell.

“Usually, if I politely say to a guy that our first date will also be our last, I’ll get some sort of acknowledgement that the message has been received and we leave it at that. This guy was different.”

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
