Join us at Ridgewood Commons this Wednesday June 24th @ 7PM for a free screening of "Party Monster" (2003). See poster alt-text for full description. pools.events/event/PU9eaF...

Join us at Ridgewood Commons this Wednesday June 24th @ 7PM for a free screening of "Party Monster" (2003).

Reviled in its time for turning a real-life tragedy into a glittering pile of camp, today the movie time-capsules a wild moment of queer abandon and genderf*ckery in the early 90s club kid culture.

The story follows a small town gay played by Macaulay Culkin (of Home Alone fame) as he makes it big in NYC's nightlife. Seth Green, Marilyn Manson, and Natasha Lyonne round out the cast of straight actors performing over-the-top queer characters.

And if you hate the idea of straight people caricaturing us, we hear you. There’s still something to love about this movie, though. Hear us out.

Today, Fox News and friends are engaging in a dour-faced culture crusade against us. They want to make queer people villainous again. But Party Monster? Back in 2003? It reveals that even when straight people think we're despicable, they also think we're a lot of fun. That is (and forever will be) our one greatest power in the straight-queer dynamic.

So come join us as we gaze into this funhouse reflection of queer culture. There's a lot to learn, I promise.
