Portland officially celebrates Pride in July, but a little pregaming never hurt anyone. Go on ahead and celebrate gay stuff (and gender/sexuality in all its gloriously fluid forms) with this month-long screening series; it's also a pointed "fuck you" to the flagrantly fascistic who would try to censor our media choices. Clinton Street Theater's month of Pride films includes some of my favorites, like Grey Gardens, But I'm a Cheerleader (delightfully deemed "vulgar" by Movie Guide: Movie Reviews for Christians), Paul Verhoeven’s young-and-hungry eleganza Showgirls, and gaggy wasteland The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Church of Film will also chime in with a buried masterpiece—Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers, a Warhol-era raunch-fest that somehow features Bette Midler on the soundtrack. And Desert Hearts will screen on June 18, a film that elicited a concise review from EverOut food and drink editor Julianne Bell: "I am very gay."
