Farming isn’t the sort of career that you normally associate with queer people – although coming from a farming family myself and knowing a few gay farmers, I can personally attest that there are more of them around than you probably thought.
Out There takes a look at queer farmers across the US, with the documentary examining their lives and work. As Towleroad points out the film is touring the Mid-West and West Coast, from Milwaukee to Seattle, during February and March 2015.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Out Here is a full-length documentary film created by the Queer Farmer Film Project. Completed after 4 years in production, it looks at the experiences of queer farmers across the country and asks – what does it mean to be a queer farmer, is agriculture a safe space for queer people, and what are the relationships between food production and queerness? It is the filmmaker’s dream that this project will give voice and visibility to queer people in agriculture and inspire a flagrant national discussion about gender and sexuality as they are related to our food system.’

It may only be a minute long, but it’s enough time to make Fulboy look pretty sexy – and that’s without any actual sex, kissing or overtly erotic – just men playing football and getting changed (although you can play spot the testicle).
While much gay entertainment still has a bit of an obsession with skinny twinks and buff guys, but in the world of gay web series there’s one bastion of support for the hairier and bigger man – the gun gay comedy mystery show Where The Bears Are.

Have you ever thought that you simply don’t know about the penis? Well, this could be the film for you, as it takes a long, hard look at the thing between men’s legs, from the reverence paid to it by ancient cultures to the modern obsession with size..
It’s taken a while to get Mommy to the UK. Last May the movie picked up and Cannes Jury Prize, but it’s only now that queer filmmaker Xavier Dolan’s (Tom At The Farm, Laurence Anyways) movie is preparing for its British release on March 20th, and ahead of that a new trailer has arrived.
In what is becoming a bit of a tradition, the new name for the man playing the title role in Hedwig And The Inch has been announced, so we now know that the show’s creator John Cameron Mitchell will be replaced by Glee’s Darren Criss.
There are lots of film festivals that give awards to LGBT-themed films, but there’s no doubt that one of the most important is the Teddy Award, handed out each year at the Berlin International Film Festival. It has a good history of picking great movies, including Ira Sachs’ excellent Keep The Lights On, Marco Berger’s Absent, Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right and John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig And The Angry Inch, along with last year’s winner, the wonderful The Way He Looks.
A couple of years ago it looked like gay people were going to take over US TV comedy, with Ryan Murphy’s The New Normal (about a gay couple having a baby), and Partners, which saw a couple of friends, one of them gay, going into business together.
Rather than making one film, director Reid Waterer has come up with four and put them together under the title Global Warming. The gay shorts selection gets its name because it wants to take us around the world – both literally and metaphorically – from India to Greece, taking a look at gay life in various places countries, all in amongst plenty of steamy, sexually-charged shenanigans.
