The Miami Short Film Festival--a small but mighty presentation of artsy short films (hence the name)--presents a special showing tonight of GLBT selections, in a collection called "Hit the High Notes." The films include a documentary about a Cuban transvestite in Havana, "Tacones Cercano"; a "sock opera" from Canada titles "The Perfect Match"; and selections from France, Colombia, and a few U.S. flicks.
Tower Theater, 1508 SW 8th St., in Little Havana. $12. And while you're there, walk west a little bit and get a snack at El Pub, which is a Little Havana landmark of cheap eats. Delicioso.

There has been much hype surrounding "1,000 Homosexuals" at the Arsht Center in Miami—we have yet to see the production, so we can't offer our opinion—but the local community is embracing the production, encouraging everyone and anyone to atted. "1,000 Homosexuals" is a spoof on the Anita Bryant days in South Florida, who crusaded against gay rights in this state and the nation as a whole. But in this show, the tables are turned, and poor Anita is the victim! Apparently hilarity ensues.
The show runs through Sunday only; info is here.

According to The Guardian--because where else would Americans go for their news, other than an paper in England--Hillary Clinton has in fact been offered the job of Secretary of State, and she does plan on accepting the offer.
The news comes after much speculation and excited tail-wagging by Clinton fans, although she has yet to formally announce her decision. Of course, we're huge fans of The Hills here, so this news is quite exciting. Ms. Clinton has a way of making people do what she wants, and we can easily see her stomping around the world, making it a better place.

Tonight the liquor will flow freely in South Beach, when Edison Farrow serves free martinis all night--get on down to The Webster Temporary, at 919 Collins Ave, in Miami Beach. The Webster is a cute little Art Deco hotel, so this should be nice.
This comes after the end of the Martini Tuesday bowling leagues, which ended at the beginning of the month, so Edison is ushering in a new vibe for the party. Should be fun. Did we mention the martinis are free? They're free!

"Tru Loved," the drama/comedy on gay teen life in California, opens this weekend at the Gateway Cinemas in Fort Lauderdale. Reviews have been, well, somewhat tepid--read the Rotten Tomatoes rating here--but this is independent film, and you take the good with the bad. Bruce Vilanch makes an appearance, although his physica appearance has become just as much a topic of discussion as his actual performance.

Protestors in three South Florida cities joined the National Day of Protests on Saturday, Nov. 15, to speak out against the wave of anti-gay laws passed in the 2008 election. Large crowds--surprising to some people, as such big crowds gathered for a protest organized with little prior notice--gathered at the steps of city halls in Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Lake Worth, holding signs and cheering their support. In Miami Beach, a sole anti-gay activist stood on the opposite side of the street (by police orders, to keep the crowds separate) and condemned the protestors, which seemed only to energize the crowd more.
For a story on the nationwide effort, click here.

This
Saturday,
November
15,
2008,
there
will
be
a
simultaneous
national
protest
to
bring
to
the
forefront
the
injustice
during
the
recent
general
elections
concerning
gay
marriage.
In
the
2008
election,
the
states
of
Florida,
California
and
Arizona
adopted
measures
that
prohibit
gay
marriage,
and
in
the
case
of
California,
take
away
rights
from
gay
men
and
lesbians.
Florida’s
legislation,
“marriage
protection”
Amendment
2,
changes
the
Florida
state
constitution
to
specify
marriage,
domestic
partnerships,
or
any
sort
of
legal
recognition
of
relationships
may
only
be
between
one
man
and
one
woman.
After
the
passage
of
anti-gay
amendments
and
laws
across
the
country,
thousands
of
people
have
protested
daily
across
the
country
to
demand
legal
equality.
Californians
have
been
protesting
nonstop
since
their
constitutional
amendment
passed.
Those
protests
have
become
organized
into
a
national
movement
today,
with
the
National
Day
of
Protest—in
South?Florida,
local
rallies
will
be
held
today
at
1:30
