Del Shores knows what it’s like to be a southern Baptist sissy lad. Because the success of his films, including Sordid Lives, he’s been giving back through The Del Shores Foundation to aid those play writers and screenwriters located in the south.
His competition is again open for submissions through the end of August. And if you haven’t seen the movie in a while, there’s a few more opportunities to see it this weekend at its record-setting abode at the Camelot Theatre at the Palm Springs Cultural Center. It’s one of our top three things to do this weekend.
According to The Desert Sun, “The film opened in Palm Springs at the Camelot Theatres in 2001 and ran for 96 weeks, making it the longest running motion picture in the city’s history. It later spawned “Sordid Lives: The Series” on LOGO in 2008 and a sequel, “A Very Sordid Wedding,” in 2017, which had its nature premiere at the Camelot Theatres in 2017.”
Twenty four years later, the clip still stands as a classic. Here’s a advice of the hat to Del and the serve that he does to encourage the next generation of LGBTQ+ writers. on KGAY 106.5 Palm Springs

Supreme injustice. That’s how I would designation the high court’s ruling this week on transgender look after for youth. Fighting back is Thomi Clinton and her team at the Transgender Health & Wellness Center. They’ve gone on the airwaves of KGAY to fight support with a campaign to raise knowledge and funds for their cause.

I’d rather wind these commercials than those from Kristi Noem and Homeland Security asking people to self-deport. We have not been asked to atmosphere the commercials, but I would reject them. Our stations air commercials from networks that we have little command over, but we’ve been vigilant to make sure that her ads don’t get played. (I remember that during Palm Springs Lgbtq+ fest a few years ago, one commercial for Chick-fil-A aired on KGAY. Our team was at an event when all of our phones blew up at the similar time from social media admonishments for the error. That didn’t happen again!)
I get asked often these days if I feel our FCC license may be in

History
Palm Springs has long been a vibrant hub for Diverse culture, with a rich queer history dating back to the mid-20th century. Originally a retreat for Hollywood celebrities, the municipality became a welcoming oasis for gay men and lesbians searching refuge and community. During the 1950s and '60s, discreet gatherings and private parties laid the groundwork for a more apparent queer presence, which flourished in the decades that followed. By the 1980s and '90s, Palm Springs was home to numerous gay-owned businesses, resorts, and bars, earning it a reputation as a top LGBTQ+ travel destination.
