Antonio Douthit by Richard Calmes

[stormblessed95]

The thing is, THE THING IS, is that google is free, and it's one of those things that almost everyone uses, so the fact that you have homophobic anons coming to you and invalidating queer relationships by saying queer people can't have long lasting relationships + we all cheat on our partners, is unacceptable.

Because a quick google search could have shown queer couples who are still together after getting married ++ the small amount of queer people that have cheated on their partner VS. het people. And in an effort to not get disrespectful and bash het couples, I'm just going to say that maybe Het Celebrities (bcs that seems to be the topic) need to take a fucking page from queer people and learn how to be loyal to their partners.

From my own personal knowledge I have compiled a list of QUEER COUPLES who are still together (FOR YEARS) even if they're married or not, because Marriage is not definitive of the commitment that people have towards each other.

So for the uneducated here's a small education!.

George Takei & Brad Altman - Together for 37 years

Elton John and David Furnish - Together for 29 years

Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski (I love them so much) - Together for 16 years

Tan and Rob France - Together for 15 years

Matt Bomer and Simon Halls (they were in a secret relationship for a decade before they came out as a couple, and Matt was always thought to be straight). - Together for 14 years

Antonio Douthit-Boyd and Kirven Douthit-Boyd - Together for 17/18 years

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner - Together for 51 years (since the 70's)

Alexandra Hedison and Jodie Foster - Together for 9 years

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor - Together for 7 years

I added a wide range, not just in age difference, but time they've been together, and I've also added BIPOC couples. I really don't know why people are insistent on making queer people seem horrible, and for what?. To prove that a potential queer couple could not be real?.

AND if that's not enough, because celebrities are "different" than normal people, I have added a link below to a review on an 'exhibition that explores and celebrates the everyday lives and enduring relationships of LGBT couples and families' as the intro has stated.

https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/photography/2014/01/09/20-lgbt-couples-who-have-been-love-more-decade?amp

AND the biggest issue that these anon's are not fucking grasping is that these conversations can be incredibly triggering to queer people. The invalidation of not only our identity but our community is not only problematic but also oppressive. Anons grow the fuck up and learn from your ignorance, and leave queer people the fuck alone.

For you, I think you dropped it.

Countdown Profile: Week 5 Antonio David Lyons (’13)

Antonio David Lyons (’13) is an actor, musician, and activist. Antonio produces work with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and is founder of We Are Here, an initiative to address masculinity with boys and men from New York to Capetown, through theatre. Interview by Michael Wilson (’11). 

 What are you up to in the world today, Mr. Antonio Lyons? 

At the moment I am getting ready to head to South Africa tomorrow, for a bit of respite, and to check in with my organization, We are Here, and the people on the ground there...and also shoot a music video for a song I recorded the last time I was in South Africa. 

And yesterday was quite a whirlwind day: I finished guest starring on an episode of a TV series here, called Seal Team, playing a Congolese general…very interesting storyline dealing with the complications of war. 

Then also, I accepted an offer from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for a nine-month contract with them, starting in January, to produce a version of Comedy of Errors...it’s part of a larger envisioning by Lue Douthit, called Play On!, where she commissioned a series of playwrights who were people of color, had different gender identities, sexualities, to reimagine works of William Shakespeare. One: to make the work more accessible, and, two: to move the conversation that Shakespeare started in his work further. It will be a touring show that engages communities in a very meaningful kind of way…[without the] elitist component that often comes with Shakespeare.

 Sure, everyone thinks it’s just…it is from the white, European canon. And it has this history of consolidating white culture and white power. 

Exactly. Exactly. I think it will elevate the work. 

And I know also that you’ve been involved with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for years. Do you remember the year that you started with them? 

The first time I went must have been 2013 or 2014…it was like right after we graduated, this opportunity came up, to go as a producing fellow. 

How does the experience you had at the MA [in Applied Theatre] inform the work you do at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival? 

You know, I’ve been really fortunate, because every time I’ve gone to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, it’s been to do work that absolutely uses artistic practices to engage community in meaningful ways. The first time I went was as a producing fellow, and I really learned a lot about the organization, about how a major institution like that produces theatre. One of the things that attracted me to it was that the artistic director is and was at the time Bill Rauch, who had come from Cornerstone Theatre. I was really interested in getting a handle on how he brought those sensibilities from Cornerstone as a community-based theatre really focused on helping people tell their stories, and helping people use theatre to address issues that were impacting their communities. 

I’m interested in this craft and challenge of using old English plays to work in equity—what’s a moment or story of how that’s worked for you? 

The process of commissioning. This work of William Shakespeare is always treated very preciously, as if it can’t be touched, it can’t be adapted, it can’t be updated, it can’t be expanded…and what Play On! does, is it challenges these notions of white supremacy inherent in language and culture: that it [Shakespeare's language] can only fit in certain bodies. Play On! Challenges all of that. It challenges marginalized bodies, and allows them to take this work, find themselves in the work, and see what it looks like in their skin, from their world view, which I think is very much about what it means to be an applied theatre practitioner. 

Moving on, to help readers understand the multi-interested, multi-talented person you are: describe your music.

 Oh my god. It’s my heart. Laughs. My music is my heart. It allows me, in a visceral kind of way, to say things that I don’t often get to say, to express things that I’m thinking, to address issues that are meaningful to me, and to use words and sound to move people…put that together and my music is a…heart movement. My music is a heart movement! 

I’m sad this is only a written piece…the way you said “heart movement” was a song right there! 

Laughs. Yeah. It uses the fullness of who I am, in terms of my Caribbean-ness, the African-inspired-ness, particularly of South Africa, with me having lived there for so long. It incorporates my poetry…and when I’m performing, it incorporates my dance. 

And where can people find it?

  Antoniodavidlyons.com and it’s also on Spotify and iTunes and Amazon. 

 Let’s jump over to We Are Here, because this would not be a complete conversation without talking about your project. Would you describe it? 

We Are Here, it started as a one-person show, then it moved into this social activism campaign. Now it’s grown into a non-profit to addresses the core issues of identity, masculinity, and gender-based violence. In 2016, 2017, we were able to expand the work as we expanded the organization, to also include addressing issues of sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. Part of what we really were aware of is that same sort of negative behaviors that can lead to gender-based violence can lead to exposure to HIV/AIDS and other STIs. The risky behavior is the same. 

And over the course of the years, it was amazing to grow from the show, post workshop discussions, some workshops here and there, to having a new five-day curriculum, that went into community and strategically worked with populations of men and boys that ranged from 12 to about 30. We went from it being primarily two people and a part-time volunteer-ish person, to now having three kind of full-time people and five facilitators to do that work. 

That’s amazing. I didn’t know that was happening. 

Yeah. It was part of the US Government, through PEPFAR and Johnson and Johnson—they launched an initiative called DREAMS. The DREAMS initiative was all over the continent, and it was a search for best practices in addressing HIV and AIDS, with primarily women and girls, and also rolling out a preventative tool called PrEP. We were approached by a female-led organization out of Atlanta, called Sister Love, to be partners with them in applying for the DREAMS initiative grant, to do work in south Africa. We said yes, because part of the grant provided opportunities to do programming for male partners of their primary target population. 

And so that happened, and it was a really amazing opportunity. The organization grew, we learned a great deal. We were able to have what I felt was a really great impact with some of the young men and boys we engaged with. 

What were the biggest obstacles to healthy relationships that you worked with, with these men and boys? 

You know, this idea of masculinity. One moment that comes to mind is this deep-dive conversation we were having, in the relationship module. [The men were] having conversations about how women are not able to be your friend—that they’re sexual objects. A great many of them were absolutely full-on committed to this idea. And what else came out of that moment was the thing that applied theatre does, right? Use theatre-based approaches to have conversations, and, if it’s well scaffolded, to create opportunities where people are easing into thinking and changes, and, before they know it, they’re having these epiphanies. One of the young men, in the midst of the conversation with his other friends, said, "I didn’t know you guys thought that way.” And he was like, “I don’t agree.” And it was a really difficult moment, challenging his friends and his peers on their behaviors. And challenging himself. We did the difficult work of holding space for that conversation.

 What was the hardest part about it?

 I think the hardest part was where I didn’t know where it was going to go. I was like, “oh my god, oh my god, we done opened up something here.” Because you want to hold space where people can have difficult conversations and not walk away wounded to the point of not being able to find healing. Or to [not be able to] come back to themselves. 

Would you say more about how you used theatre in those projects?

 In terms of the activities…they did some role playing. We did a lot of physical stuff, because we realized that, for men and boys, moving was really important. We used assessment tools, like human barometer. We used opportunities for collaging and visioning. We used an opportunity for them to do, in role playing, hotseating.

 Did you use the piece, the poetry that was the basis for your solo show? 

From that, I developed processes where we used the text. They would read from the text, and then there would be an opportunity to create the text embodied, then transform whatever that story was, and make it applicable to their own lives. 

How much did you share from your own story: hey, this is me, Antonio, I’m a facilitator, I got into this work because… 

I didn’t share that in that way, but, at points within processes, challenging dangerous ideas required a fine line between being a facilitator and being a mentor. Because there’s this…I think, at least for the community that I engaged with, as a facilitator there’s this unrealistic expectation that you would be neutral, in a way. And I think it’s problematic and unnecessary and dangerous, because what you’re asking of participants is to be open, honest, and vulnerable. Then in this neutral, semi-therapeutic role, you’re not [being open, honest, and vulnerable, yourself]. When you open up and reveal a part of yourself and your perspective…you break down that sense of hierarchy, you know. 

What’s a point where you stepped in with that mentor side? 

That conversation around women as friends. Because while they were able to challenge each other to a particular point, there was a hard disruption that had to happen, in terms of what it does to a community and a society, and to women themselves, when you cannot humanize women. When you cannot humanize other people. 

What about men who have sex with men and, you know, I’ve never been to South Africa, but I would not be surprised if that was one of these invisible things—it happens but no one talks about it.

 No, that’s real. There are lots of organizations that specifically and openly deal with men and MSM communities. There aren’t a lot of organizations that incorporate that in terms of the bridge between heterosexuals and MSMS, in terms of building relationships and understanding— 

—but what about these boys, because masculinity— 

 Well with us—

 How did you deal with that? 

—with us what we did not do was ask anybody about their sexual identity. Or how they engage sexually. And it’s always a hard line for me, because I never want any other identified person to feel marginalized or spotlighted. I don’t allow certain languages that may be derogatory to pass by. Because there was one point where that came up. The term that was used for a gay man was a “half man.” [I said] “Okay, let’s deal with that. Let’s get all the way in that right now.” So we did. The people who identified as gay in the room quickly understood, “okay...”

 “…he’s got our back.” 

All the facilitators in the room got our back. And those who use that language understood, this is going to be challenged, and that’s not okay in this space. And they’re able to engage with these other people who were clear about who they were, and walk away with a different perspective. 

Thank you. No surprise, we’re coming up on 40 minutes here, and I feel like we’re just getting started…what would you want someone who is thinking about building a life in theatre and education and social justice to know, what gift would you give them? 

Lean into your passion, and that it’s all possible. 

We were talking years ago and you’d wanted to have this kind of thing come to fruition, from the growth of We Are Here to landing acting gigs of the profile that you were just shooting recently. So it’s possible indeed. 

Yeah, I’m really excited. I’m really excited to see where it goes next. I’m looking at putting together a tour of We Are Here in the US next year, so working with my managers on crafting that, doing a guest star recurring on Bosch, and I’ll be back on that series in the new year. Yeah, you know, now we’re in the hard part of trying to identify funding sources in South Africa. Because that project was for a limited time, in terms of that funding source. It ended up being a very challenging experience, but we learned, and we move forward. 

You learn and you move forward. 

That’s the skinny my friend. 

Thank you so much. Travel safe tomorrow. 

Thank you. Ah. I’m so excited. I’m exhausted and excited at the same time.

This year, the Official Baby Stitch I Got Vaccinated But I Still Want Some Of You To Stay Away From Me Shirt and by the same token and performing arts live on Marquee TV, an on-demand streaming platform dedicated to global arts and culture.

New Post has been published on PBA-Live

New Post has been published on http://pba-live.com/no-definite-plan-yet-for-isaiah-austin-as-andray-blatche-makes-gilas-comeback-2/

No definite plan yet for Isaiah Austin as Andray Blatche makes Gilas comeback

FOR now, Andray Blatche will continue manning the fort for Gilas Pilipinas.

With the qualifier for the 2019 World Cup set to start two weeks from now, Gilas is once again leaning on old reliable Blatche to get the job done just like he did in the 2014 Fiba World Cup and, most recently, the Seaba Championships in Manila.

Gilas has considered a number of options for the lone spot allotted for naturalized players under Fiba rules, among them Fil-German Christian Standhardinger, who took Blatche’s place in the Fiba Asia Cup in Lebanon, and Isaiah Austin, who reinforced Chooks to Go in the Fiba Asia Champions Cup in Chenzhou, China two months ago.

Standhardinger has since been made the top pick in the PBA Rookie Draft by San Miguel Beer and is currently under contract to play for Hong Kong Eastern in the ABL while Austin has gone back to the US after the short stint with Gilas.

“Nothing specific yet,” was the curt reply of Gilas team manager Butch Antonio when asked about any plan the team may have for the lanky, 24-year-old big man.

The 7-foot-1 Baylor University alumnus gave a good account of himself during his lone stint with Gilas but so far, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) has not started any move to naturalize him or any player for that matter.

“We have not begun the tedious and difficult process of naturalizing anyone new. Our current naturalized player is (still) Andre Blatche,” said SBP vice-chairman Robbie Puno.

The former Antipolo City representative spearheaded the naturalization of Marcus Douthit and Blatche, but he admitted that no decision has been made on potential candidates.

“No final decision made on that,” Puno said.

That shouldn’t pose a problem for now since the 6-foot-11 Blatche has been made available even if the 2017-18 season of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) is ongoing.

Blatche plays for defending CBA champion Xinjiang Flying Tigers, but national coach Chot Reyes has assured the naturalized player will arrive in the country on Nov. 12 to join Gilas in its buildup for games against Japan on Nov. 24 and Chinese-Taipei on Nov. 27.

Bethune Cookman’s Professors Speak Out!

Dear Graduates of Bethune-Cookman:

First, congratulations! We are so proud of what you have accomplished. You have studied, prepared, planned, learned, and have earned what our parents, grandparents, and ancestors have had to fight, scrape, and die for in this nation. We are proud of you for that!

WATCHING YOU STAND AND TURN YOUR BACKS TO HER MAKES US ELATED. OVERJOYED. HUMBLED. IT WAS A DAY AND A MOMENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT CELEBRATING YOU AND WHAT YOU ACHIEVED.

Beyond becoming graduates, we are floating this morning thinking about how you stood up to your university and protested the woefully under-qualified Secretary of Education who attempted to address you at your graduation yesterday. Watching you stand and turn your backs to her makes us elated. Overjoyed. Humbled. It was a day and a moment that should have been about celebrating you and what you achieved.

The world watched you protest the speaker you never should have had. We cheered as we saw so many of you refuse to acquiesce in the face of threats and calls for complicity. Your actions fit within a long tradition of Black people fighting back against those who attack our institutions and our very lives with their anti-Black policies and anglo-normative practices. Betsy DeVos’ commitment to dismantling public education and her egregious framing of historically Black colleges and universities as “pioneers” in school choice are just two examples of why she should never have been invited to speak at an event celebrating Black excellence.

We shared your outrage when it was announced that DeVos would serve as your commencement speaker and receive an honorary degree. As your administration hid behind the rhetoric of “learning from people with divergent perspectives,” current students objected. Alumni petitioned. We watched from a distance wondering how but knowing why this moment was taken from honoring you.

But then, you turned it around, figuratively and literally. We beamed with joy as we watched videos and read tweets of how you took your graduation back to honor yourselves. To honor your founder. To honor our ancestors. To honor us all.

You represent the best of Mother Mary McLeod Bethune who took the little she had and built an institution that remains committed to bringing out the best in us. You are the best of us. We, the undersigned, are Black professors and college administrators— some of us at HBCUs, some of us at PWIs, some of us HBCU alums— and we thank you. We salute you. And we love you.

Hail, Wildcats!

Love In Motion: Kervin and Antonio Douthit-Boyd met while dancing at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and married in 2013. They retired in 2015 and moved to St. Louis to become Co-Artistic Directors at the Center Of Creative Arts (COCA) to inspire young people in that community to learn dance -- it's also Antonio's hometown. @kdboyd84 @adouthitboyd @alvinailey #BlackLove #Love #LoveWins #AlvinAiley #COCA #Dance #Community #Culture #BlackGayMen #OurStory #BlackManMagic #NativeSon 📷Andrew Eccles @eccles

No definite plan yet for Isaiah Austin as Andray Blatche makes Gilas comeback

FOR now, Andray Blatche will continue manning the fort for Gilas Pilipinas.

With the qualifier for the 2019 World Cup set to start two weeks from now, Gilas is once again leaning on old reliable Blatche to get the job done just like he did in the 2014 Fiba World Cup and, most recently, the Seaba Championships in Manila.

Gilas has considered a number of options for the lone spot allotted for naturalized players under Fiba rules, among them Fil-German Christian Standhardinger, who took Blatche’s place in the Fiba Asia Cup in Lebanon, and Isaiah Austin, who reinforced Chooks to Go in the Fiba Asia Champions Cup in Chenzhou, China two months ago.

Standhardinger has since been made the top pick in the PBA Rookie Draft by San Miguel Beer and is currently under contract to play for Hong Kong Eastern in the ABL while Austin has gone back to the US after the short stint with Gilas.

“Nothing specific yet,” was the curt reply of Gilas team manager Butch Antonio when asked about any plan the team may have for the lanky, 24-year-old big man.

The 7-foot-1 Baylor University alumnus gave a good account of himself during his lone stint with Gilas but so far, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) has not started any move to naturalize him or any player for that matter.

“We have not begun the tedious and difficult process of naturalizing anyone new. Our current naturalized player is (still) Andre Blatche,” said SBP vice-chairman Robbie Puno.

The former Antipolo City representative spearheaded the naturalization of Marcus Douthit and Blatche, but he admitted that no decision has been made on potential candidates.

“No final decision made on that,” Puno said.

That shouldn’t pose a problem for now since the 6-foot-11 Blatche has been made available even if the 2017-18 season of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) is ongoing.

Blatche plays for defending CBA champion Xinjiang Flying Tigers, but national coach Chot Reyes has assured the naturalized player will arrive in the country on Nov. 12 to join Gilas in its buildup for games against Japan on Nov. 24 and Chinese-Taipei on Nov. 27.
