Netflix: Women’s Wrestling GLOW for a Second Season

Posted by EILE Magazine on August 16, 2017 in Culture & Arts, Humour, Multimedia

 

Netflix has renewed GLOW for a second season (ten episodes).

Set in 1985 Los Angeles, GLOW follows Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), a struggling out-of-work actress, as she auditions for, trains for, and eventually makes the first-ever women’s wrestling TV show.

Inspired by the short-lived, but beloved, show from the 80s, GLOW is a Cinderella story with bodyslams.

GLOW is created by Liz Flahive (Homeland, Nurse Jackie) and Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie, Orange Is The New Black, Weeds). Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann are executive producers alongside Flahive and Mensch, who are serving as showrunners.

It Was A Great Galway Pride 2017, With Photos & Video To Prove It!

Posted by EILE Magazine on August 15, 2017 in Events, LGBT, News & Current Affairs

Galway Community Pride went off with a bang this year, and everyone had a great time, whether it was at the Parade, or at one of the many events, like at Club GASS on Friday night, and with Mr. Pussy on Saturday night!

According to Martin McManamon:

“We had a great weekend! There was a brilliant turn-out at Club GASS Friday night, and at the Parade on Saturday, and at the street party, and Club GASS was extremely busy”.

Martin also said that the feedback from the LGBT community in Galway about the event has been great this year. And some of the comments on Facebook reflect this. Chris Noone said:

“The committee deserve our utmost gratitude for organising an amazing week of events. It was the perfect balance of education, protest and celebration. Everything was carefully thought out to ensure that the diversity of our local LGBT+ community was represented. I hope that with the opening of Teach Solais, we can maintain this sense of community which this year’s Pride brought back to Galway”.

Ariel Ní Nualláin commented:

“One of the greatest experience[s] of my life! I’m so glad I got to work with the Galway Community Pride volunteers and committee, thank you so much to everyone who came out to support us :)”.

And Collette Fleming said:

“It was my first time attending Galway Community Pride, really great fun and well organised. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks to all!”

 

And don’t forget, Club GASS will be back again on Friday 7th September, at the Róisín Dubh, and we will have more information about that later, but meanwhile, here are some more photos of the Pride festival in Galway. Enjoy!

 

All having a great time at Galway Community Pride Parade 2017

Watch: ” I Still Call Australia Home(ophobic)” Tim Minchin Parody

Posted by EILE Magazine on August 13, 2017 in Culture & Arts, LGBT, Multimedia, Music, News & Current Affairs

Comedian Tim Minchin does a parody of the Australian song “I Still Call Australia Home” by re-writing the words to highlight his objection to the proposed plebiscite, and the fact that Australia has not yet brought in marriage equality.

With quite strong language in parts, his re-write says “I Still Call Australia Home(ophobic)” and in a written piece after the video, he states that he feels the proposed plebisicite is “noxious and obnoxious”, and takes a shot at the religious element in Australian society that he feels is also trying to hold Australia in the past, but feels this will ultimately fail, as the majority of Australian citizens are not homophobic, and are in favour of marriage equality. Enjoy!

Reaction to Trump’s Comments on Transgender Troop Ban

Posted by EILE Magazine on August 13, 2017 in LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Transgender News & Issues

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has responded to Donald Trump’s comments regarding his plan to ban transgender service members, where he said that he felt he was doing the military a favour:

“Donald Trump’s delusional comments regarding his reckless ban on transgender troops are demonstrably false and lack any basis in reality”

said Chad Griffin, HRC President.

“Donald Trump’s attack on transgender troops weakens our military and is a betrayal of those who wear the uniform.

Fifty-six retired admirals and generals, Republican and Democrat elected officials, and a majority of the American public have all condemned Trump’s misguided and despicable policy that will do nothing but undermine military readiness and harm brave transgender service members and their families.”

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community.

Sunday Sounds: Zander Bleck – Alive

Posted by EILE Magazine on August 12, 2017 in Culture & Arts, Multimedia, Music

In EILE’s music slot this morning, we have a treat in store. We are featuring pop/rock artist, Zander Bleck from the US, with his latest powerful track, Alive. Zander cites U2, Queen and The Doors among his influences.

From rural New Jersey, Zander grew up close to Manhattan, where he absorbed the music of legendary artists from far before his time. A competitive athlete in high school, he moved to New York where modeling paid the bills and set the stage for his journey. “I developed a certain type of fearlessness,” Zander remembers. “When you get that hardened skin it prepares you well for the music business.”

Whatever about hardened skin, Zander has an amazing voice and has been compared to Imagine Dragons and U2. We think you’ll enjoy ‘Alive‘. See what you think!

You can download follow Zander on Facebook at:
