Who
knew what the weekend morning cartoon lineup was missing? Queer
animation has come into its own, and TLGFF is proud to bring you
our first-ever all-animation program. We kick off with Sissy Duckling,
the story of a gentle duck who, predictably, gets called a sissy
by taunting fellow ducks. Listen for Sharon Stone's narration, and
Harvey Fierstein (Torch Song Trilogy) as Sissy. Next is the hilarious
Ambiguously Gay Duo, featuring a gay version of Batman and Robin
in their crusade against evil. Hete-Roy's
ray gun "straightens out" any gay man who falls in its path, and
Achilles and The Rape of Ganymede are portrayals of ancient Greek
heroes yearning for love. We finish with Japan's very own Blair
Bitch Project, a formidable blend of light, sound and drag queens
from Tokyo club VJ Akahige. With seldom-seen gay cartoons from all
over the world, this program promises to satisfy even the most exacting
of animation fans.
