But Annie Lenox….one of my favorite stories from my childhood was seeing the “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” music video when I was ~12 years old and, for the first time ever, realizing what other girls were talking about when they talked about “cute” boys. Excited that I finally understood why they were so obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Timberlake, I was very quick to blurt out “wow he’s CUTE!” like my friends always did to the newest boyband music video. My mother had a good laugh and said “oh that’s a GIRL though”, and told my dad they had a good chuckle at my confusion. BUT WHOS LAUGHING NOW??

Mans can we talk about the gay vibes from Sporty Spice, who was surrounded by rumors about her sexuality, when it was actually Ginger and Scary Spice that were having an affair together? The 80s and 90s were wild times!

Donna Gottschalk’s “Brave, Beautiful Outlaws” is opening at Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art on Aug. 29. While Ms. Gottschalk doesn’t identify as a documentary photographer or a photojournalist, she has been making pictures since she was 17. Photos selected from her 50-year personal archive will be made public for the first time.

Her work documents her closeness with her working class family and her involvement with the radical lesbian, sometimes separatist, communities in the late ’60s and ’70s.

The photos are tinged with mourning and mystery. She’s been holding their memory for decades, “fiercely protective” and unwilling to “subject them to scrutiny, judgment and abuse” from the outside world.

”Understand, people didn’t care about them or my pictures of them back in the day,” she said. “These people were all very dear to me, and they were beautiful. These pictures are the only memorial some of these people will ever have.”
