![AIDS Walk benefits from Stonewall T-dance]()
By Project Q Atlanta | Jul 1, 2009 | 10:00 PM
The last full day of Stonewall Week on Sunday featured a long list of events where the music was loud, the drinks plentiful and the boys were dancing.
Papi's Stonewall T-Dance For A Cause at Las Margaritas on Cheshire Bridge was no exception. And like several events during Stonewall Week, this one also had a larger purpose: A portion of the proceeds from the event benefited AID Atlanta's
AIDS Walk.

![Dream win total to outpace last season]()
By Project Q Atlanta | Jul 1, 2009 | 8:00 PM
The
Atlanta Dream dropped their game against Minnesota on Tuesday by six points, with the difference coming from behind the three-point line. But here's what's noteworthy: Just 10 games into the season, the Dream has won four.
Put another way: The Dream has already matched the total number of wins they notched last season, their first, when they went 4-30. So as they look to Friday's home game against Washington, team brass has got to like how the season is unfolding so far.

![Tyler Perry: Pull up your damn pants]()
By Project Q Atlanta | Jul 1, 2009 | 5:00 PM
Oh, how we love Tyler Perry. Though he
won't come out publicly -- probably concerned that the religious portion of his fan base will shun him, rather than use it as a teachable moment -- he is wont to tell others how to act.
On Saturday, Perry attended an Atlanta Urban League luncheon. When a reporter asked Atlanta's own entertainment giant if he had any grooming tips for black men, Perry
offered this quip:
A few of us, not all of us but a few of us, need to pull up our damn pants.
No doubt Perry meant after he's done with them.

![3 Atlantans attend White House Pride event]()
By Project Q Atlanta | Jun 30, 2009 | 9:30 PM
At least three Atlantans were among the more than 250 LGBT leaders inside the East Room of the White House on Monday as President Obama recommitted himself to meeting campaign promises of ending the military’s ban on openly gay members, repealing a federal gay marriage ban and passing a federal hate crimes law.
Atlanta residents Paul Horning, a director of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund; Harry Knox, director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign; and Knox’s husband Michael Bozeman were among the crowd at the historic event. With the address, Obama became the first president to officially celebrate Gay Pride and commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Riots in the White House.

With all of the Stonewall Week events filling our calendar recently, we nearly forgot to take a peek inside the current
David Atlanta magazine.
But worry not, dear fans. Here we go.
The mag is all about some biceps on the cover, even if it's not the muscled arm of a real Atlanta guy. But it illustrates their story on gay Atlanta's power men. Powerful maybe, but apparently not with big enough guns to grace the cover.

By Project Q Atlanta | Jun 29, 2009 | 7:30 PM
A Peachtree Street lounge popular with gay crowds and partially owned by a veteran of gay nightlife venues will close Aug. 1 to make way for a new restaurant.
Bazzaar Lounge, which opened next to the Fox Theater in 2003, has catered to gay and straight party-goers with events including the Flux dance party with DJ Vicki Powell and Drag Is So Bazzaar and music acts including Lady GaGa and The B-52's.

In turn, they expect to re-brand the space as a restaurant called Publik sometime in September.
