Emily Capell: Who Killed Smiley Culture

26 Mar 2013 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Bryon Fear

From the Smiths to Britpop.

Musician Emily Capell talks about her early influences, cheesy ’80s pop and a song that lead to a series of appearances on the gay cabaret scene.

“Yeah. I write about what I know … what I do. You won’t believe the amount of people that actually ask me, ‘Is your dad really a Smiths fan?’… of course he is! Can you imagine if he wasn’t … ‘no, he really likes Take That’.”

Gayby

10 Mar 2013 / 0 Comments / in Film & Television/by Bryon Fear

★★★★★
Cert:15 • US: 89 min • Hubbhobb • March 11, 2013 [DVD]

With a witty script, and a fine ensemble cast, Gayby is an engaging and heartwarming comedy.

“Gayby, which began life as a short film, plays like an extremely well crafted sitcom episode, but never feels like a single idea that has been stretched beyond its limit. The supporting (yet often unsupportive) cast of characters form a memorable ensemble.”

LGBT History Month Heroes – Day 24

24 Feb 2013 / 0 Comments / in LGBT History Month/by Bryon Fear

Hans Christian Andersen, by Bryon Fear.

To celebrate LGBT History Month, 2013, Polari is publishing a daily series of LGBT Heroes, selected by the magazine’s team of writers and special contributors.

“Hans Christian Andersen’s legacy is very much defined by his life as an ‘other’. He took the tradition of folk tales and elevated them into literature that has inspired a wealth of art, theatre, ballet and many many films, one of which saved the Disney empire from bankruptcy.”

Paul Harfleet, by Bryon Fear.

To celebrate LGBT History Month, 2013, Polari is publishing a daily series of LGBT Heroes, selected by the magazine’s team of writers and special contributors.

“The ‘Pansy Project’ is an act of queer defiance, it memorialises and commemorates but most importantly, by writing new memories and placing beauty into the scars of our personal and physical landscapes it helps to heal.”

The Smiths, ‘Reel Around The Fountain’

To mark LGBT History Month, 2013, Polari asked its contributors to recall a song that had an impact their own stories.

” My unspoken feelings seemed to be woven throughout the lyrics of the songs we listened to that night and my secret was being decoded and laid bare in the music.”

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.
