The Proper Gander

Spurn for you

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 22:00:00 +1000

As Pride Month comes to an end, we're reminded that love is love, is a universal language and often transcends 'traditional' bonds. Another universal feeling is the squidgy electric butterflies that start messing around slightly to the left (your left) of the heart. This week is all about that stuff.

Pride without prejudice

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 22:00:00 +1000

This week we celebrate Pride month with some aural pleasure given by queer singers and songwriters. Where would we be culturally and artistically without fabulous people unafraid to be themselves? Probably somewhere dull and not much fun which would *not* be fabulous, and great music doesn't care what consenting adults do with their parts or what plumbing they use because that would be silly and ignorant.
