‘Get Out’ And See A Movie This Week
by Chris Narloch
Disney’s big budget, live-action movie version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ recently opened, and I urge you to see the film, if only to support that beloved, family-friendly company’s decision to hire an openly gay director and allow him to turn one of the movie’s minor characters gay.
That decision led a drive-in theater in Alabama to refuse to show the film, and the Russian and Malaysian governments have also reportedly considered boycotting the movie.
San Francisco Community Commemorates Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31
A group of community organizations, led by the Trans Employment Program of the SF LGBT Center and Trans:Thrive at the Asian Pacific Islander (API) Wellness Center will host a free community-wide event to commemorate Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31 at SOMArts.

The film opens with Lawther's character, Elliot, asking "Do you think you can know something, before you know it?" This is prompted by unspoken truths that unfold as the film evolves. You see a family fractured by forbidden desires and attached by social norms and expectations.
