THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY
based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … November 26
1915 – Earl Wild (d.2010) was an American pianist, renowned as a leading virtuoso of his generation. Harold C. Schonberg called him a "super-virtuoso in the Horowitz class". He was well known for his transcriptions of classical music and jazz, and he was also a composer.
Royland Earl Wild was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1915. Wild was a musically precocious child and studied under Selmar Janson at Carnegie-Tech University there, and later with Marguerite Long, Egon Petri, and Helene Barere (the wife of Simon Barere), among others. As a teenager, he started making transcriptions of romantic music and composition.
In 1931 he was invited to play at the White House by President Herbert Hoover. The next five presidents (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson), also invited him to play for them, and Wild remains the only pianist to have played for six consecutive presidents.
In 1937, Earl Wild was hired as a staff pianist for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. In 1939, he became the first pianist to perform a recital on U.S. television. Wild later recalled that the small studio became so hot under the bright lights that the ivory piano keys started to warp.
During World War II, Wild served in the United States Navy as a musician. He often travelled with Eleanor Roosevelt while she toured the United States supporting the war effort. Wild's duty was to perform the national anthem on the piano before she spoke.
Wild, who was openly gay, lived in Columbus, Ohio and Palm Springs, California with his domestic partner of 38 years, Michael Rolland Davis. He died aged 94 of congestive heart disease at home in Palm Springs
1926 – Michael Butler (d.2022) was an American theatrical producer born on this date; he is best known for bringing the rock musical Hair from the Public Theater to Broadway in 1968. During his time as Hair producer he was dubbed by the press as "the hippie millionaire". Other Broadway production credits include the play Lenny in 1971 and the musical Reggae in 1980.
Butler was born in Chicago, Illinois into a wealthy family. In the early 19th century, his ancestors started a paper company on the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois, and supplied paper for the U.S. Congress. The business was later moved to Chicago, where it was at one time one of the city's oldest family owned business, and later diversified into dairy, ranching, aviation. Butler's father helped found the village of Oak Brook, Illinois and the Oak Brook Polo Club.
Butler served as Special Advisor to then-Senator John F. Kennedy on the Middle East, Chancellor of the Lincoln Academy, Commissioner of the Port of Chicago, President of the Organization of Economic Development in Illinois, Assistant to Illinois Governor Otto Kerner, Jr., President of the Illinois Sports Council, and he was a Democratic Candidate in Du Page County for the State Senate.
Butler was the godson of Tyrone Power, and in his early twenties he lived with Power and his wife, actress Linda Christian. Rumour has it he had affair with both of them. He was also involved with Rock Hudson. Through Power's friend, film director Edmund Goulding, he befriended the Kennedy family, particularly Joe and John F. Kennedy. Butler and JFK socialized often in Hyannisport, Greenwich Village and in Newport, R.I.
Rock Hudson and Michael Butler
Butler dated Candice Bergen, Nati Abascal and Audrey Hepburn, with whom he had a relationship in the early 1950s before her marriage to Mel Ferrer. Butler was involved in Hepburn accepting a role in the New York production of the play Ondine, where she worked with Ferrer soon before marrying him. He has a son, Adam, from his 1962 marriage to Loyce Stinson Hand.
Around the time of his first association with Hair, Butler became a political activist. Before the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago he arranged a meeting between Chicago mayor Richard Daley and Abbie Hoffman, recommending that the party cultivate the Yippie vote. He held "Cause" meetings in Oak Brook, Illinois in the summer of 1969 with Tom Smothers, Peter Yarrow, and Black Panther Fred Hampton, among others. Butler donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to left-leaning causes and was listed on Richard Nixon's Enemies List
1957 – The Cuban-born artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres was born (d.1996). He grew up in Puerto Rico before moving to New York City. Gonzalez-Torres had his first one-man exhibition at Andrea Rosen Gallery in 1990. His work was the focus of several major museum solo exhibitions in his lifetime and after his death. Retrospectives of his work have been organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York (1995), the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany (1997), and the Serpentine Gallery in London (2000).
Gonzalez-Torres was known for his quiet, minimal installations and sculptures. Using materials such as strings of lightbulbs, clocks, stacks of paper, or packaged hard candies, Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work is sometimes considered a reflection of his experience with AIDS.
Many of Gonzalez-Torres's installations invite the viewer to take a piece of the work with them: a series of works allow viewers to take packaged candies from a pile in the corner of an exhibition space, while another series is comprised of stacks of ultrathin sheets of clear plastic or unlimited edition prints, also free for the viewer to take. These installations are replenished by the exhibitor as they diminish. The most pervasive reading of Gonzalez-Torres's work takes the processes his works undergo (lightbulbs expiring, piles of candies dispersing, etc.) as metaphor for the process of dying.
"Untitled"
One of his most recognizable works, Untitled (1992) is a billboard put up in New York City of a a sensual black-and-white photograph of Gonzalez-Torres's empty, unmade bed with traces of two absent bodies. It was installed on twenty-four billboards throughout New York. This enigmatic image was both a celebration of coupling and a memorial to the artist's lover, Ross, who had recently died of AIDS. In one interview, he said "When people ask me, 'Who is your public?' I say honestly, without skipping a beat, 'Ross.' The public was Ross. The rest of the people just come to the work."
1970 – The retired NBA basketball player John Amaechi was born on this date in Boston, Massachusetts. He currently works as a broadcaster and political activist in the United Kingdom. In February 2007, Amaechi publicly announced that he is Gay and became the first player associated with the NBA to come out.
One widely-publicized response to Amaechi's announcement came from former NBA player Tim Hardaway, who stated that he would ask for a gay player to be removed from his team: "First of all I wouldn't want him on my team. Second of all, if he was on my team I would really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right and I don't think he should be in the locker room when we're in the locker room. Something has to give. If you have 12 other ball players in your locker room that's upset and can't concentrate and always worried about him in the locker room or on the court or whatever, it's going to be hard for your teammates to win and accept him as a teammate." Hardaway later apologized for his remarks.
Some players gave Amaechi public support: former Magic teammate Grant Hill said "the fact that John has done this, maybe it will give others the comfort or confidence to come out as well, whether they are playing or retiring." Shaquille O'Neal told the New York Daily News, "If he was on my team, I guess I would have to protect him from the outsiders, I'm not homophobic or anything. I'm not the type who judges people, I wish him well." Charles Barkley said "It shouldn't be a big deal to anybody. I know I've played with gay players and against gay players and it just shouldn't surprise anybody or be any issue."However, the prevailing public statements from NBA players tended toward an expression of mixed feelings on the matter. Steven Hunter said that he would accept an openly gay teammate "as long as he [didn't] make any advances toward me. As long as he came to play basketball like a man and conducted himself like a good person, I'd be fine with it." That sentiment was echoed, though less tactfully, by Shavlik Randolph, who said that "as long as you don't bring your gayness on me I'm fine. As far as business-wise, I'm sure I could play with him. But I think it would create a little awkwardness in the locker room."Pat Garrity warned that an openly gay player could expect to face both acceptance and hostility from his teammates. He said that "they would have teammates that would accept them for being a good person and a good teammate, and there would be people who would give him a hard time about it. I think that's true if you're playing basketball or in an office job. That's just how the world is right now."LeBron James said, "With teammates you have to be trustworthy, and if you're gay and you're not admitting that you are, then you are not trustworthy. So that's like the No. 1 thing as teammates — we all trust each other ... It's a trust factor, honestly. A big trust factor."
In May 2007, a few months after coming out, Amaechi said he had "underestimated America", adding that he had expected the "wrath of a nation" but it never materialized. He made these statements despite having been the subject of death threats a few months earlier.
In August 2008, Amaechi was sent to Beijing to do Olympic Men's and Women's Basketball broadcasts and reporting for the BBC. There, he authored a blog with fellow activist and renowned photographer Jeff Sheng in partnership with Amnesty International. He used Sheng's knowledge of Mandarin and experience in Beijing to get behind the scenes and gather candid interviews with locals and Olympic athletes alike.
In 2008, John Amaechi made several appearances on Shirts & Skins, a reality series on LOGO Television. Amaechi acted as team "mentor" and "psychologist" to the San Francisco Rockdogs, a gay basketball team, and shared his experiences on basketball, life, and coming out.
1979 – Jason Sechrest, born in Columbus, Indiana, is an on-screen personality and writer in the adult industry. He has starred in numerous adult films, straight and gay, but only in non-sexual roles. In 2005 he was nominated by the Grabby Awards and GAYVN Awards for his comedic, nonsexual performance in Wet Palms. He also appeared in a role in gay-themed feature film Dog Tags.
He is best known for his website, now defunct. The website catered to straight, gay and bisexual adult markets. Sechrest himself is bisexual.
He hosted of one of the longest running shows on the now defunct KSEX Radio, The Jason Sechrest Show (formerly titled The Young & the Curious).
In July 2008, he launched an iteration of his previous internet radio show, now titled Bottoms Up!, via RudeTV.com.
Arena magazine listed him as one of the "50 Most Powerful People in Porn" list along with Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner. He has also been called "The Oprah of Porn".
1983 – Today, one of the inventors of Facebook and Obama's tech wizard Chris Hughes was born. Hughes co-founded and served as spokesperson for the online social directory, Facebook, with Harvard roommates Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Hughes currently serves as a consultant for the popular site, but primarily acts as coordinator of online organizing within the Barack Obama presidential campaign on My.BarackObama.com, the campaign's online social networking website. He also served on the National Board of Directors of the Roosevelt Institution in 2005 and 2006.
Chris Hughes was born in Hickory, North Carolina, a small, conservative town in the western part of the state. Not entirely comfortable in his hometown, he longed to go away to prep school. Given his family's modest income, achieving that dream seemed unlikely; nevertheless, as a high school freshman Hughes, unbeknownst to his parents, applied to a number of boarding schools. The prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts not only accepted him but also offered financial aid that would allow him to attend.
While he was at Phillips, Hughes recognized that he was gay. "I went to boarding school Southern, religious, and straight, and I left boarding school not being at all religious and not being straight," he stated to Ellen McGirt of Fast Company.
During his sophomore year he roomed with Mark Zuckerberg, a student who was working with another dorm-mate, Dustin Moskovitz, to create an on-line version of Harvard's "facebook," a publication with photos and basic information about students to help them meet each other. Zuckerberg invited Hughes to join the project.
Zuckerberg and Moskovitz were computer geeks proficient in the technical aspects of the process, such as writing software codes. Hughes's emphasis was on the users: how they would want to connect with others, how they could share information, how their concerns about privacy could be addressed.
Hughes's input earned him the nickname "the Empath"—perhaps slightly derisive among die-hard techies but also reflective of what would be his crucial role in the development of Facebook.
In the summer of 2004 Hughes, Zuckerberg, and Moskovitz went to California, seeking venture capital for the fledgling Facebook site. The rest is history.
He is the Executive Director of Jumo, which he founded in 2010. Jumo is a non-profit social network organization which "aims to help people find ways to help the world." In July 2010, UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS) appointed him to a 17-member "High Level Commission" of renowned politicians, business leaders, human rights activists, and scientists tasked with spearheading a "social and political action campaign over the coming year aimed at galvanizing support for effective HIV prevention programmes".
In 2009, Hughs attended President Obama's first state dinner with his boyfriend Sean Eldridge, Political Director of Freedom to Marry. On New Year's Eve 2010, on a vacation trip to Thailand, he became engaged to Sean, his partner of five years. Hughes and Eldridge announced their engagement in January 2011 at a reception in support of Freedom to Marry. He and Eldridge have lent their own voices and resources to the cause of glbtq rights, particularly marriage equality.
2015 – In Bolivia, the Justice Minister announces the passage of the Law of Gender Identity which allows transgender people to change their legal documents. The bill was initially proposed by Raysa Torriani, a transgender woman and trans activist, three years earlier. The “Law of Gender Identity” will legally recognize the identity of 1,500 self-identified transgender people living in Bolivia . "Now, the sisters and brothers who want to change their name and sex, by an administrative resolution, can change their information" in the records of various government institutions, said Virginia Velasco, the minister of justice of Bolivia.

Piglady Review: A Missed Opportunity for Campy Goodness
Piglady, directed by Adam Fair, had the potential to be a gripping horror film that would keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Unfortunately, it falls far short of that mark. With an intriguing premise and a cast of talented actors, Piglady fails to deliver on its promise, leaving viewers with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cikR4N480pg
The Good:
The film's premise is undeniably intriguing: a group of friends embarks on a Christmas vacation to a cabin in the remote woods of Southern Oregon, only to stumble upon a chilling rumor about an antisocial woman who supposedly murders people and feeds their remains to pigs. The setup has all the elements of a classic horror movie, with the isolation of the cabin, the mysterious legend, and the impending sense of dread. However, the execution of this premise leaves much to be desired.
The Bad:
One of the most significant issues with Piglady is its pacing. The film takes an agonizingly long time to build tension and establish a sense of unease. The first half of the movie is filled with endless scenes of the friends engaging in banal conversations and mundane activities, which does little to further the plot or develop the characters. It's only in the second half that the film begins to pick up, but by then, it's too late to salvage the viewer's interest.
The characters themselves are underdeveloped and lack depth. Alicia Karami as Brittany, the film's supposed protagonist, fails to elicit much empathy or interest from the audience. Her character's actions and decisions are often baffling and lack motivation, making it challenging to connect with her plight. The other friends, played by Karri Davis, Jeffery Hunter, and Alex C. Johnson, are equally one-dimensional, serving as little more than cannon fodder for the impending horror. There is a lack of character development and chemistry among the group, making it difficult to care about their fates.
Sandra Dee Tyron's portrayal of Piglady, the enigmatic and potentially terrifying antagonist, also falls short. Her character is shrouded in mystery for most of the film, and when her true nature is finally revealed, it lacks the impact and terror that one would expect from a horror movie. Tyron's performance is underwhelming, and her character's motivations and backstory remain frustratingly unexplored.
The cinematography in Piglady is serviceable but unremarkable. The film makes good use of its remote forest setting, creating a sense of isolation and foreboding. However, the cinematography fails to capitalize on the potential for atmospheric and suspenseful shots. The film's visuals lack the artistry and creativity that could have elevated the overall experience.
One of the most disappointing aspects of Piglady is its handling of the central horror elements. The film relies heavily on jump scares, which become repetitive and predictable. The moments of tension and terror lack subtlety and are often accompanied by loud, jarring music that further diminishes their impact. The film's attempts to build suspense through the legend of Piglady are ham-fisted, and the payoff is ultimately unsatisfying.
The script of Piglady is another major flaw. The dialogue is often stilted and unrealistic, with characters delivering clunky exposition that feels forced. There are numerous instances of characters making irrational decisions that defy logic, and the plot is riddled with inconsistencies and plot holes. The film's attempts at humor also fall flat, detracting from the overall tone of suspense and horror.
The film's climax is chaotic and confusing, leaving many questions unanswered and failing to provide a satisfying resolution to the story. It feels rushed and hastily put together, as if the filmmakers were more interested in reaching the conclusion than in crafting a coherent and satisfying ending.
Overall:
Piglady is a missed opportunity for campy horror goodness. Despite its intriguing premise and a cast of talented actors, the film is marred by pacing issues, underdeveloped characters, lackluster performances, uninspired cinematography, and a poorly executed script. It fails to deliver on the promise of a suspenseful and terrifying horror experience, leaving viewers disappointed and frustrated. While it may have its moments of tension, they are few and far between, and the film ultimately falls short of being a memorable addition to the horror genre. For those seeking a truly chilling and satisfying horror movie, Piglady is not the answer.

Interview with Elder Tyrone Johnson
Elder Tyrone C. Johnson, Sr. affectionately known as “God’s Ambassador to the Streets,” was born on February 25, 1956 to Eugene and Mary Elizabeth Johnson (deceased) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his primary education in Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. He graduated from P.S. duPont High School in Wilmington before entering the United States Army in the Signal Company, Fifth Special Forces group in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
After an honorable discharge from the Army, Elder Ty enrolled in Central Carolina Technical College where he received a diploma in Radio/Television Broadcasting. After working at several radio stations, he became one of North Carolina’s premiere radio announcer and account executive
In 1990, Elder Ty returned to Wilmington where he founded his first non-profit organization, M&MT Productions, where a group of young men began to address the problem of substance abuse amongst youth by introducing therapeutic drama through local community centers. The group went on to introduce comedy to Delaware through its “Comedy Slam Jam” programs which featured comedians from Russell Simmons’ HBO Comedy Show. M&MT organized the first Peace on the Streets march and rally in Wilmington in collaboration with the City of Wilmington, several churches, organizations, and youth groups where over 4,000 attended at Rodney Square.
In 1991 Elder Johnson gave his life to Christ. At this time he became a member of the Eighth Street Baptist Church where he grew both spiritually and professionally. As a spin-off of his work with M&MT Productions, Elder Ty was requested by Pastor Christopher A. Bullock to coordinate the Outreach Ministry effort at Eighth Street Baptist Church.
In 1994, Elder Ty founded Churches Take A Corner (CTAC), a holistic, community-based street ministry geared towards mobilizing faith-based congregations to save souls while helping people to move from drug and alcohol addictions and violence, to Christ. This ministry has grown over the past thirteen years and now provides the following programs to communities in need: 1) Street Invasions on drug-infested corners; 2) the Transitional Housing program; 3) the Restoration through Spiritual Development (RSD) Program which is dedicated to helping men and women who are making the transition from prison to their re-entry into larger society; 4) the Intensive Outpatient Program, a DE state licensed program responds to adult needs for drug and alcohol treatment and intervention; and 5) the Alpha Program, a mentoring program for children with incarcerated parents. In 1997, Elder Ty decided to answer his call to God’s Ministry. On September 24, 1997 he delivered his first sermon titled “Blessed And Highly Favored To Win” at Eighth Street Baptist Church. At this time, the members of Eighth Street Baptist Church unanimously voted to award him his official License to Preach the Gospel Ministry.
Elder Ty has been in uninterrupted recovery from drug addiction for seventeen years and is a very spirited, honest, and hardworking member of the Wilmington community. Elder Ty and his family joined Bishop Aretha Morton and the Tabernacle Full Gospel Baptist Church family in 2001 where he is a member of Bishop Gregory M. Davis’s episcopal team and leads the Men’s Ministry, Evangelism Team, and Married Couples Ministry. He has been the recipient of many awards including the Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Award. Elder Ty has served on many committees and boards, most notably the Governor’s Council on Corrections for the past 5 years to impact change within the State Correctional System, Alfred I. DuPont Hospital For Children Ethics Committee, and the Coalition to Build a Safer Community which studied the root causes of violence in the City of Wilmington, leading to the development of the Wilmington Hope Commission.
Elder Ty is a revered leader by the people in the general Wilmington community and throughout the State of Delaware. His mentors include preachers, politicians, community activists, and elders in the community.
Elder Ty is married to Lisa M. B. Johnson and has four children, Neva, Antione, TyLisa and Tyrone, Jr.

John - Who Gone Be | Music Video Trailer from Vita Pictura on Vimeo.
The official music video for “Fight City” mini-series produced by Vita Pictura and Roll Up Films and directed and performed by John Lee.
John Lee created this series while teaching math at a high school and doing his master’s degree. Fight City was shot in New York, Cleveland, and Tallinn. The film builds on the range of issues one faces while growing up in a community segregated by financial status, class, and race. The production just proved that film has no boundaries, as long as you are convinced to go through all of the ups and downs of the process.
