PHOTOS: Gay historian Jonathan Katz made his New York art-world debut this week with a new collection of paintings, Making History, Making Art, on view at New York’s Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.
Katz, 75, came to art late in life, first gaining acclaim with LGBT-history tomes like Gay American History: Lesbians and Gay Men in the U.S.A. (1976) and The Invention of Heterosexuality (1995), and the 1972 documentary play, Coming Out!
As a result, his painting are imbued with historical context, says curator Jonathan David Katz (no relation): “The direct beneficiary of Katz the historian is Katz the artist, and we are the direct beneficiaries of Katz the artist.”
Running through March 31, the show focuses on Katz’s recent paintings of men, praised by the curator for their “passion, sensuality and immediacy.”

Screen Shot 2013-02-17 at 1.32.43 AMOn Monday morning, police in Michigan responded to a 911 call that a man was sitting in his car sucking on a dildo.
The Smoking Gun posted an arrest report for an unnamed suspect, who was found parked in Elizabeth Park in Trenton, Michigan, with a flesh-colored dildo on his passenger seat of his 2010 Ford Fusion.
When the officer asked the driver, 67, what he was doing, the man said “Sucking on a dildo, I’m sorry.” (Notice how the cop felt it necessary to write that in all caps.)
The suspect, who “admitted to having a problem with sex toys,” was arrested for disorderly contact, a misdemeanor.
And before you ask, no, it wasn’t George Michael.

via Puerto Rico Report by hadeninteractive on 2/14/13
One of Mrs. Obama’s guests at the State of the Union Address Tuesday night was a Puerto Rican veteran. Sergeant Carlos Evans, USMC, born in Puerto Rico, joined the military in 2004 at the age of 24 and has been deployed four times into combat. During the last deployment, Evans was wounded so severely that he lost both legs and one hand. Like many Puerto Ricans, Evans volunteered to serve in the U.S. military.
It might therefore have been somewhat ironic that President Obama said these words:
Defending our freedom, though, is not just the job of our military alone. We must all do our part to make sure our God-given rights are protected here at home. That includes one of the most fundamental rights of a democracy, the right to vote.
Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico, though citizens and well represented in the military, cannot vote for the President of the United States. Nor do they have representation in the federal government: the Resident Commissioner, who is Puerto Rico’s sole representative in Congress, cannot vote.
President Obama continued:
When any American[s] — no matter where they live or what their party — are denied that right because they can’t wait for five or six or seven hours just to cast their ballot, we are betraying our ideals. So, tonight, I’m announcing a nonpartisan commission to improve the voting experience in America.
One of the most fundamental rights of a democracy is, indeed, the right to vote. Keeping Puerto Rico in its current territorial status (the reason Puerto Ricans cannot vote) in spite of the November vote to reject that relationship is unquestionably government without consent of the governed.
