      With this issue, Creative Loafing is celebrating a homecoming of sorts: Five years after leaving Ybor, we&#39;ve returned to our roots. We now occupy a suite of offices in Ybor Square across the street from our old stomping grounds at El Pasaje &mdash; where (I am told &mdash; this all happened before my time), the CL/Weekly Planet staffers spent many happy years (1998-2004) making journalism and damaging livers. In Mitch Perry&#39;s story, he takes stock of our old/new neighborhood. Among

      An extraordinary documentary that begins with a trans woman&rsquo;s journey to her Montana hometown for a high school reunion and expands into a surprising, complex narrative. Filmmaker Kimberly Reed assumes that her own story will take focus; after all, most of her classmates still remember her as Paul, the quarterback all the girls had crushes on. But it&rsquo;s her adopted brother who eventually dominates; brain-damaged in his 20s in a car accident, he makes a startling discovery about his lineage

      The Tampa International Gay &amp; Lesbian Film Festival changed Margaret Murray&#39;s life. How? She saw a really good movie. It was 1993. Murray had just begun to realize there was &quot;something called art film out there,&quot; something different from the multiplex fare she&#39;d grown up with. Then she went to a screening at TIGLFF &mdash; her first film festival ever &mdash; and saw Warrior Marks, Pratibha Parmar&#39;s documentary about female genital mutilation. &quot;I just sat there in the audience crying

      If you think you know all about Susan n&eacute;e Steven Stanton, the Largo City Manager fired in 2007 after announcing that he was changing gender, think again. This CNN documentary not only recounts the now-familiar saga of his termination by the City Commission, it provides invaluable insight into Stanton&#39;s life before and after that turning point. &quot;It&#39;s a little more complicated than I initially envisioned,&quot; Stanton says early in the transition in what turns out to be a massive understatement.

      Desolate and bored after a split with his boyfriend, sad-eyed Jerome (Eric Benets) leaves gray Paree to pursue fantasies of Hollywood fame. When he gets to L.A., the city is nothing like the glamorous spot he&#39;d envisioned; the beach is cold, the apartments are dingy and the job prospects are drab and discouraging. Actor-turned-director Jason Bushman knows his milieu -- Silver Lake trannies, green-screen commercial shoots -- and he gets excellent performances from Chad Allen as a pot dealer in

      &quot;Do you think it&#39;s possible to love someone without being afraid of losing them? But at the same time is it possible to be alive in this world without loving anyone at all?&quot; Those questions are at the heart of the gentle, bittersweet Love of Siam. They&#39;re spoken by Mew to his best friend Tong, childhood pals who have rediscovered each other as teenagers, both having suffered wrenching losses: Mew of his beloved grandmother and Tong of his older sister,

      Managing to be both implausible and predictable, this slapdash little coming-out movie is diverting nevertheless, boosted by funny characterizations, cute boys and pop-cult knowingness. Big Queer On Campus Olaf &quot;Gunn&quot; Gunnunderson somehow remains closeted to his family, a fact that comes as a surprise to his boyfriend Nathan when he shows up unexpectedly at Gunn&#39;s Midwestern home during Christmas break. It&#39;s even more of a surprise to the audience, since this is the most non-threatening parental unit in the history

      A maddening, heartbreaking, ultimately satisfying documentary about the fight to depose Rene Portland, the celebrated women&#39;s basketball coach at Penn State who wielded her &quot;no lesbians&quot; rule with brutal force. For almost 30 years Portland threatened students, threw them off the team, made insinuations about other universities&#39; programs, all with impunity -- until a courageous former student took her to court with the help of the National Center for Lesbian Rights (and Tampa attorney Karen Doering).

      A big enough hit in the UK to have already spawned a sequel, this is the latest reboot in a series of films based on the famous Ronald Searle cartoons about an anarchic girl&#39;s school. St. Trinian&#39;s keeps the mordant comedy and blithe cross-dressing of the original 1954 version and cranks up the volume; these girls aren&#39;t just mean, they&#39;re running a full-blown criminal operation, complete with bootlegging, torture and high explosives.

      When Ben Eason first suggested I think about hiring Wayne Garcia as a political columnist back in 2004 for what was then the Weekly Planet, I was a little suspicious. Wayne had been a consultant to Johnnie Byrd, of all people, about as far from the left-of-center mindset of the paper as you could possibly get. How could such a hire be viewed as &quot;on brand&quot;? Or more to the point, what could I or my readers have in common

      It&#39;s fitting that one of the most high-profile events of the fall arts season is a musical adaptation of Alice&#39;s Adventures in Wonderland, because lately it&#39;s seemed we&#39;ve all been heading down the rabbit hole. The No-Bama crowd calls for the truth about healthcare, but traffics in outright lies. The president says the so-called public option is a key aspect of his plan, then says it isn&#39;t, then says it is. The St. Pete Times wins a Pulitzer for PolitiFact,

      For a long time, the nexus of gay male culture was, for better or worse, the bar. Modern gay history arguably began 40 years ago at a bar (Stonewall), and before liberation a tavern was the only public place where men could meet discreetly and in relative safety. The bar scene is still important to gay life -- you only have to spend a Saturday night in GaYbor to be reminded of that (and check out the sidebar to see
