Such is the thread running through this year’s selections for AFS Cinema’s Home for the Holidays series – an annual tradition where Austin’s foremost indie cinema programs screenings to get you ’Tis the season for top 10 lists, but ya boy here has looked at this year’s queer news bulletin and, um, well.
It’s not a lot of “fun” or “uplifting” stuff to fill out the ol’ listicle format. Instead, I thought I might drop 10 local queer places to put whatever extra holiday bucks you Austin’s comedy scene is different from when Vanessa Gonzalez did her first tight five at Fallout Theater. At the time, Gonzalez had been sticking to sketch and improv because, as she puts it, “stand-up was the most intimidating one to get the guts to do.” Thankfully, her friend Lisa Friedrich saw the comic’s potential and Have you shopped for all your LGBTQ crew yet? Well, whether you’re like me and have a box you fill up over the year with gifts or you just woke and remembered presents are a thing right now, there’s places for you to keep the season’s shopping small, local, and gay as hell.
