Sal DeFalco

by Daniel Hicks

o A bartender for more than 40 years at iconic New York City hangouts such as “The Saint”, “Stonewall” and “Studio 54”, Sal DeFalco of Wilton Manors personi-fies the rise and evolution of HIV in America. But while he’s been able to beat the scourge for 35 years, his face has vanished from behind the bar at “Hunters” on Wilton Drive.

“I’ve gone from living in the light to living in fear,” says DeFalco, one of the most prolific male hustlers of the late 1970s.

On September 5, DeFalco was diagnosed with brain, throat and lung cancer and underwent surgery for the first tumor in his head on September 15, six days af-ter turning 56th birthday. With his partner of 25 years Claude Tant at his side, DeFalco’s next operation is scheduled for this week.

His eyes well up as he laments an iconic life turned upside-down by the news, blaming his doctor for not catching the disease soon-er. His voice cracks when he describes

the loss of religious workouts to the pain of getting out of bed. “I walked in (to the hospital) as healthy as can be and walked out a dying man,” he says.

De Falco grew up in the New Jersey projects and ran away from home when he was 14, landing his first job at New York City’s Limelight, a Mafia-owned drag palace. At 19, he became one of the original bartend-ers at Studio 54, which was

owned by Ian Schrager and the late Steve Rubell, who died of AIDS in 1989. He recalls a laundry list of romantic encounters with famous names like music mogul David Geffen, record executive Clive Davis, fashion designer Calvin Klein and singer-songwriter Peter Allen, who penned his Oscar-win-ning “caught between the moon and NYC” lyric as his flight circled above LaGuardia airport and De-Falco waited for his plane to land. Allen died of AIDS in 1991.

Today, as he fights for his life, DeFalco raises a red flag about what he calls new “communion parties” springing up at local Fort Lauderdale hotels, where new HIV drugs like Truvada give local gay men a misplaced sense of invincibility to unprotected sex that replaces last century’s foregone era of plain ignorance.

“(Unprotected sex) went on in bars, back alleys, bath houses and on the balconies of Studio 54 and The Saint,” says DeFalco. “If this (behavior) keeps up, there will be a new superbug that the government can really blame on us instead of the GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency) syndrome that they tried to blame us for then.”

That Old Time Religion

by GreGG Shapiro

SCREEN SAVOR SCREEN SAVOR

The doc “Corpus Christi: Playing With Redemption”

(Breaking Glass Pictures) follows a the-ater company’s production of the Ter-rence McNally play “Corpus Christi,” in which the Passion story is retold depicting Jesus Christ as a gay man in 1950s Texas. Described as “a life-changing journey” for the cast and director, the film focuses on the period between 2006 and 2011, when the play was produced in a number of US cities, as well as in Ireland, Scotland and Mexico. As you might expect, they were met with their share of resistance, usually represented by unemployed and unbathed religious zealots who have plenty of time on their hands to protest theatrical pro-ductions they haven’t actually seen.

Featuring interviews with McNally, McNally’s lawyer husband Tom Kirda-hy, Norman Lear, Larry Kramer, as well as some religious leaders and others. A majority of the interviews are conducted with the cast and director Nic Arnzen (who co-directed the doc along with actor James Brandon, who also plays Joshua/Jesus in the play). Therein lies the problem: actors talk-ing about acting can be a risky and distracting proposition. The inclusion of the cast’s personal stories and their own experiences with religion are only moderately more interesting.

The end result, intentional or not, is that “Corpus Christi: Playing With Redemption” will probably only fuel fans of the play’s desire to see a full-length dramatic film adaptation of McNally’s controversial creation. DVD special features include interviews, backstage footage, play performance scenes, news footage, photo gallery and more.

o “A film of the theatrical expe-rience,” “Southern Baptist

Sissies” (Breaking Glass Pictures) might feel like a bit of a letdown after the “Sordid Lives” movie and subsequent TV series. But the strength of Del Shores’ writing and the performances of the talented cast go a long way in convincing the viewer to overlook the limita-tions of the stagey presentation.

Honoring the piece’s theatrical roots, “Southern Baptist Sissies” is presented in two acts. In the first, amidst the fire and brimstone pews of the Calvary Baptist Church in Dallas, we meet Mark (Emerson Collins), who functions as the nar-rator. Fellow sissies at the church include his best friend Andrew (Matthew Scott Montgomery), his crush TJ (Luke Stratte-McClure) and Benny (Willam Belli, of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” renown), described as “the biggest sissy of all.” According to Mark, it is in this church that they “learned to hate themselves.”

Across the stage, in a gay bar setting, Peanut aka Preston (the in-imitable Leslie Jordan) and Annette Odette (Dale Dickey), who has had a series of unfortunate events, act as an unofficial Greek chorus, either commenting on the action or relat-ing their own sordid tales. Peanut and Annette Odette’s scenes are a potent blend of laugh-out-loud comedy and tear-jerking tragedy, like those involving the sissies, which is something that speaks to Shores’ flair for dialogue.

“Southern Baptist Sissies” pro-vides the details of the young sissies’ formative years as well as glimpses of them as adults (at least those

who survived). Benny, who was the most at ease with his sexuality, is now a drag performer known as Iona Traylor. TJ, however, the most devout of the bunch, became a fanatical preacher in adulthood. That doesn’t erase his intimate relationship with Mark, nor Mark’s feelings for him. But in the dra-matic conclusion to the first act, it becomes clear that while Mark is ready to embrace who he is, TJ (who obviously has strong feelings for Mark) can’t discard his faith.

The second act also incorporates both comedic and dramatic situ-ations. Gay realization comes to Andrew who admits to masturbat-ing to pictures of N*Sync, but he struggles with being gay. When his mother discovers Andrew’s personal gay stash, things go rap-idly downhill and the first tragedy occurs. Benny who embraced his identity early at bible camp, keeps in the loop with Mark through Mark’s column in a gay publica-tion. Meanwhile, TJ, who desper-ately tried to wash away his attrac-tion to men, and Mark do get to have a final confrontation. And, in spite of having had a crush on Jesus and “allowing” the Baptists to fuck him up, Mark is a survivor, taking the God is love message to heart and waking up daily with hope. Strongly recommended, “Southern Baptist Sissies” will make you cry (Annette Odette’s confession is one example) and laugh so hard that you’ll cry (prac-tically anything Peanut says). DVD special features include a pair of music videos, cast interviews and a behind the scenes featurette.

Mary Lambert, You+Me

MARY LAMBERT, HEART ON MY SLEEVEo One chorus did wonders for Mary Lambert, the guest vocalist professing romantic interest in a girl on Macklemore’s “Same Love.” The Seattle slam poet was nominated for two Grammys, a performer at the actual ceremony, and now this: her first full-length on a major label. The album addresses her butt (which she loves), how she has bipolar disorder, and her inability to think straight (because “I’m so gay”), so Heart on My Sleeve — how apropos. And that’s only the first track. With a pop, Mika-like bounce and an all-around celebra-tory vibe, “Secrets” rummages through Lambert’s closet in the most bold and beautiful of way--and then to let you know she doesn’t take herself too seriously, she giggles. It’s a telling gesture, since a lot of Lambert’s debut is, much like “Same Love,” designed to be lyrically heavy--themes of self-image and personal catharsis abound--but radio-friendly. She’s exposed on “Ribcage,” a hypnotic electro slow-burner with a rap cameo from K. Flay, and even if it reads like Live Journal poetry, you can’t help but be charmed by the openheartedness of “Monochromatic.” And then

there’s “Jessie’s Girl.” Lamenting atop piano, the original song is ebbed to a crawl as she turns the buoyant ’80s classic into an aching ballad. Throughout the album, Lambert asks for your ears and gives you her heart. As long as she’s this sincere, it’s a fair trade.Grade: B

YOU+ME, ROSE AVE. o You asked for it, and the lesbian gods listened. Having already created musical magic with the Indigo Girls on their George W. Bush slam, the lo-fi “Dear Mr. President,” Pink’s first folk release-- a joint project with singer-songwriter Dallas Green (col-lectively known as You+Me)--is the result of the collaborative power of prayer. Not that she’s been slacking pop-wise, but Pink’s sinewy voice – a trove of raw emotions – was always better served by a less-frilly sound (to remind you: listen to “Family Portrait” and “Dear Diary” off of Missundaztood ). Now, after two decades of telling guys to suck it and proving herself a bona fide circus act, we have rose ave., a come-down that lands her right in your living room--a long-overdue outing marked with high expectations that meets very few of them. The problem: the

songs. With the writing front and center, pretty harmonies and Pink un-plugged can only do so much when sentiments about eternal love and hope--and all those things you feel walking through the greeting card aisle--are as broad as these. Even with the lilting beauty “You and Me” and “Open Door,” where the lyrics cut deeper, rose ave. is a personal project that doesn’t feel very per-sonal. An album better in theory.Grade: C+

Also OutBETTY WHO, TAKE ME WHEN YOU GOo Cue your happy dance. Betty Who is taking you to the floor and giving you all the good feels with her debut, a disc full of sweet-but-surface pop confections – think aural Cotton Candy – as charming as the same-sex Home Depot flash mob proposal she soundtracked. But “Somebody Loves You” isn’t Betty’s only infectiously cute mo-ment. The synth-tastic ’80s-influ-enced “Glory Days” sounds like it should accompany the credits of a Molly Ringwald film, and the funky “Just Like Me” is a lotta fun. If only there were more to savor.

ANNIE LENNOX, NOSTALGIAo Oh, she’ll put a spell on you, all right. Annie Lennox likely already has, but now she’s literal about it with “I Put a Spell On You,” one of ten classic recreations off the icon’s second covers album (her first, Medusa, was released in 1995). The other selections from the Great American Songbook thrive because two words: Annie Lennox. Her voice is a godsend, and if you don’t get goose bumps hearing her give life to “Georgia on My Mind” and “God Bless the Child,” check your pulse.

oBY FRANK CORRADO

I entered through one of the glass wood-framed

doors, and within a few steps, I’m prepared to be impressed. The host stand is a friendly place, with a Floor Man-ager usually standing nearby.

The room is cleverly designed with a comfortable, edgy, contemporary, clean atmosphere. There’s lots of soft wood tones shedding just the right amount of lighting for a relaxing, yet stimulating, experience.

Be seated to your left in the quaint and semi private-booths. Or, walk up a slightly curved ramp to an exciting and lively generous bar area with high top tables and an over-sized outdoor covered patio that will sure to be your fun spot for that evening.

The view of the parking lot/Main Street is somewhat camoufl aged by the abundance of greenery including some specimen palms. While they soften and enhance the seating area, they join a red awning for a serene, yet colorful, touch. Waiters abound, very handsome in crisp white button-down shirts, tucked into blue jeans with black waist-strap aprons. And let’s not forget the contagious smiles.

Polite, energetic, and completely knowledge-able, these fi ne servers are equipped to assist you in your choice of a cocktail and entrée to start off an enjoyable din-ing experience.

I selected one of J. Mark’s Sig-nature Drinks—the watermelon martini. Smooth, colorful and gar-nished with, what else, a sliver of ripe watermelon carefully placed at the edge of the glass. We then ordered a salad and an appetizer—the Spinach Salad and the Ahi Seared Rare Tuna.

First, the fresh Spinach Salad ($12.99) The light lime vinaigrette dressing added such a great citrus fl avor to an already warm bacon dressing base. Hard-boiled eggs pieces of crisp real bacon, red onion, and goat cheese gener-ally added, combined to make a more-than-

enough salad. Scrumptious!Ahhh, the Ahi Tuna Appetizer ($13.99) This dish is served with three open lettuce cups

fi led with Cajun-crusted, seared rare tuna, with just

the right amount of drizzled wasabi pesto, garnished with

pickled cucumber. You might want to skid dessert and order a second tuna app—it’s that good.

I switched my choice of drink to a house wine—a nice, crisp California Pinot Grigio, dry with a medium boby and neutral fl avor. Just right for my entrée selection—Jumbo Blue Crab Cakes ($26.99). These fantastic cakes are served beautifully on a white oval dish, ac-companied by two distinctive dipping sauces. In the spicy remoulade, I detected a tad of creole mustard, green onion, lemon zest with just the right amount of garlic for a tangy taste for this crab meat. The other sauce is a combination of their housemade tartar ingredients. I used both for dipping and enjoyed them equally--my ap-petite completely satisfi ed.

My guest was in the mood for a steak, so his next drink order was a Pinot Noir--a dry red with a palate of warm spice nuances.

Rib-Eye Steak ($26.99) was hand-cut from the loin, perfectly aged. Tender and

juicy, this steak is delectable. Order it medium rare and it will meat in your mouth. The smooth-textured garlic mashed potatoes not only added to the meal, they made it a

front runner. Search no more for a good steak in town.

Just the check please—we needed to walk this off immediately. And then absolutely return once again with a craving for another wonderful dining experience. Kudos to J. Mark’s, their chef, line cooks and stellar servers.

Michael Sam, Ian Thorpe, Amelie Mau-resmo, Tom Daley, Brittney Griner, Megan Rapinoe… the list of professional, out

athletes keeps growing, but that still doesn’t mean it’s always easy to be openly gay in sport. Thomas Castets, founder of GaySurfers.net, said in “Out in the Line-Up,” his documentary about homophobia in the surfing community, “We are all quite aware of the prejudice and discrimination against LGBT people in sports, but I hadn’t necessarily considered surfing as one of the last “bastions” of homophobia.”

Castets asked members of his on-line LGBT surfing community for suggestions to improve this situation. “After running a survey on www.GaySurfers.net,” he said, “We found that gay surfers really wanted us to create surf trips with other gay surfers.”

The documentary also inspired Marta Dalla Chiesa of Brazil Ecojourneys to action, “It was a real eye-opener for our company. It inspired us to reach out and partner with GaySurf-ers. There are a lot of people out there who would like to be surfing but are holding back because of homophobia they’ve encountered. Surfing amongst friends allows them to live their dream.”

After a successful first run year, Castets and his company have partnered with Brazil Eco-journeys to organize a week of surfing, relax-ing and yoga in Praia do Rosa in South Brazil from Oct. 25 through Nov. 1 again this year. The week’s activities begin with a two-night stay in Florianopolis, known as a gay friendly resort town, the Fire Island of Brazil, if you will. The group is then transported to Praia do Rosa, on the southern coast of Santa Catarina, famous for its perfect waves, its rustic-chic guesthouses and restaurants.

On the first day, between checking in at the townhouse accommodations in Florianopolis and the welcome dinner the first night, the afternoon is open for free exploration. After dinner, an optional nightlife tour focusing on GLBT friendly spots will be available. Sure to be among them are Bar do Deca (aka Bar

o on the Beach) with its DJs spinning from afternoon until late night. Bar do Deca (97 Rua Rita Lourenço da Silveira, 55-48-3233-6507) is right on gay Mole Beach. Right in downtown Florianópolis, the Concorde Club (729 Rio Branco, 55-48-3024-4969) is the hot dance club. Barbarella Lounge (351 Rua Saldanha Marinho, 55-48-3207-566) is a polysexual playground for boys, girls and whatever kinky things they like to do. Mix Café (47 Centro, 55-48-3324-0102) features EDM and drag shows as well live music. Ran-cho do Maneca (1 Campeche, 55-48-3234-9295) is a meeting point of bears, daddies and their fans.

Since dinner the second night is not in-cluded, you may want to check out Bar do Vadinho (305 Pântano do Sul, 55-48-3237-7305) for its reasonably priced seafood or, if you prefer something fancier, head to Ostrad-amus (7640 Reibeirão da Ilha, 55-48-3337-5711). Located right on the beach with a pier leading out into the ocean, it’s known for the best oysters in town and huge portions.

On Monday, after breakfast, the group is transported to Praia do Rosa, checking in at Pousada Casa do Ceo (Ibiraquera, 55-48-3355-6677). After check-in there’s an introduction for beginners and evaluation for more experienced surfers. The following four days feature breakfast followed by three-hour surf sessions each morning. Afternoons are left free for more surfing, shopping or relaxing at the pool. An early evening yoga session is scheduled, after which most par-ticipants gather for dinner and a night on the town. Check out Lua Marinha (Estrada Geral de Ibiraquera, 55-48-3354-0613) for incred-ible seafood dishes.

On Thursday, Oct. 30 after breakfast the group departs for a full-day “surfari.” The group’s leader will take participants on a tour exploring the Southern Coast of Santa Ca-tarina, for the trip’s pentultimate surfing ad-venture. Then it’s on to Farol de Santa Marta, a remote fishing village where depending

upon conditions, participants may also have the opportunity to interact with Southern Right Whales and Laguna Dolphins.

Friday, Oct. 31, offers one final surf ses-sion, a free afternoon and a farewell dinner. The next morning after breakfast, it will be time to check out and catch a transfer back to Florianopolis airport. The package is $1,899 a person for singles and $1,429-$1,499 for

Surf’s Up!

By Rick kaRlin


Frankly, I am sick of all the bad press that carbohydrates are getting these days. Sure, eating too many carbs will

make you fat, but overeating in any capacity will pack on the pounds. Some popular fad diets stress cutting back so severely on carbs that many uninformed folks have begun to blame their “battle-of-the-bulge” on this poor misunderstood macronutrient. Get this right. Carbohydrates are your friends. Without the fuel that they provide to your body, your butt is going to drag, at work, in the gym and at play. Furthermore eliminating carbs can actually damage your health.

Carbohydrates in the form of fruits, veg-etables and grains provide energy as your body breaks them down to form glucose. Whatever glucose you don’t use is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle tissues. Muscles horde two thirds of this glycogen, using it to fuel daily activities, including your workouts. The liver holds the rest and releases glycogen as glucose when the brain and other organs need energy. If your carb intake is consistently low, you won’t have enough glucose to satisfy the body’s energy needs. When that happens, the body breaks down protein and fat for energy. Translated, this means that when you don’t eat enough carbs you can lose valuable lean muscle tissue as well as the ability to think and function clearly.

Carbs are crucial, but be careful not to over-indulge. When glycogen stores are maxed out, excess carbs are stored as fat. Speaking of fat, without enough carbs in your diet, your body cannot burn fat no matter how dynamic your aerobic program may be.

Not all carbs are created equal. Simple carbs consist mostly of simple sugar. Complex carbs provide healthy doses of starch, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Clearly, complex carbs are a superior food source.

Complex carbohydrates like whole grain ce-reals, breads, beans, and many fruits and veg-gies, provide a steadier, longer lasting supply of energy. This is because they take time to break down and metabolize. This process releases glucose into the blood stream more gradually,

oby Tom bonanTi

providing you with a steady sup-ply of energy for longer periods of time.

Don’t be confused by the glycemic effect of carbohydrates. The glycemic effect of a food is how fast and high your blood sugar rises after you eat it and how quickly your body brings glucose levels back to normal. Simple carbs cause an immediate spike in blood sugar and insulin levels followed by an immediate drop or “crash”, as I call it. Complex carbs are as-similated more gradually releasing energy over sustained periods of time. It’s not just whether a carb is simple or complex that determines the glycemic effect, but a number of other factors such as how a food is cooked and which foods are present in the stomach at the same time come into play.

Its helps to know what sort of glycemic ef-fect different foods have upon the body. Low or moderate glycemic index complex carbs like yams, baked beans, apples, peaches, oatmeal, and whole grain rice and cereals are best eaten earlier in the day to sustain energy especially on workout days. High glycemic foods are great after an intense workout – they quickly replen-ish hungry muscles with glycogen. Try eating oranges, bananas, grapes, rice and pasta after a “kick-ass” workout.

Remember, in order to look and feel like a champion, you have to eat like one!
