DESCRIPTION:Movies\nEvery Thursday Station 40 hosts free movie night after Food Not 
 Bombs at\n8:30PM!\n\nFor the month of June we are showing Queer films, not 
 because Obama oh-so\nliberally declared June "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and 
 Transgender Month," but\nbecause it has always been the month we remember 
 how fabulously we queer folk\nhave kicked hetero-patriarchy ass throughout 
 history. Double features this\nmonth!\n\nThursday June 3:\n\nJihad for 
 Love: (2007) In a time when Islam is under tremendous attack from\nwithin 
 and without, "A Jihad for Love" is a daring documentary filmed in 
 twelve\ncountries and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma 
 has gone where\nthe silence is loudest, filming with great risk in nations 
 where government\npermission to make this film was not an option. "A Jihad 
 for Love" is the\nworld's first feature documentary to explore the complex 
 global intersections\nbetween Islam and homosexuality. Parvez enters the 
 many worlds of Islam by\nilluminating multiple stories as diverse as Islam 
 itself. The film travels a\nwide geographic arc presenting us lives from 
 India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey,\nEgypt, South Africa and France. Always 
 filming in secret and as a Muslim,\nParvez makes the film from within the 
 faith, depicting Islam with the same\nrespect that the film's characters 
 show for it.\n\nBreakfast on Pluto: (2005) An Irish boy becomes an 
 emotional and sexual outcast\nas the 1960s fade into the 1970s in this 
 period drama from director\nNeil_Jordan. When he was just a baby in the 
 early '60s, Patrick Braden (Conor\nMcEvoy) was abandoned by his mother and 
 left on the doorstep of a church\noverseen by Father Bernard (Liam_Neeson). 
 Placed in a foster home, sensitive\nPatrick doesn't much care for the 
 emotionally chilly attitude of his new\n"family," and psychologically 
 buffers himself against the world by writing\nstories that make fun of 
 Father Bernard and the other authority figures in his\nlife. As he grows 
 into adulthood, Patrick (played as an adult by\nCillian_Murphy) also 
 discovers that he enjoys dressing in women's clothes and\nprefers the 
 company of men, and as a teenager he falls into an affair with\nBilly 
 Hatchet (Gavin_Friday), a nightclub performer who also runs guns for 
 the\nIrish Republican Army. In the early '70s, Patrick -- who has since 
 taken on the\ndrag name "Kitten" -- makes his way to London, where he 
 becomes involved with\nBertie (Stephen_Rea), a small-time nightclub 
 magician who gives the young man a\nplace to say, a sense of security, and 
 a job as his on-stage assistant.\nHowever, Patrick's idyllic life with 
 Bertie proves short-lived when his old\nfriends come to town on IRA 
 "business."\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/06/03/18649660.php
