TAXI ZUM KLO (1981) dir. Frank Ripploh Frank Ripploh is a rascal: he is a shaggy-haired, bearded teacher who is gay and has a very active sex life plus an interest in making films. He keeps his personal life separate from his personal life, though sometimes he corrects student papers in public toilets as he waits to score. He cruises constantly. One evening, he meets Bernd and they become lovers. Bernd is attentive and caring, but Frank gets bored with him and continues his polymorphous perverse ways. How long will Bernd and Frank tolerate each other's habits? Things "come to a head" (no pun intended) during Berlin's annual Queen's Ball and the morning after. (link in title)

1950 – Mel Odom is an American artist who has created book covers for numerous novels, including a number of paperback editions of the novels of Patrick White, the Australian winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and several books by fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay such as The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy, Tigana, A Song for Arbonne, and The Lions of Al-Rassan. Dreamer, a collection of his work, with an introduction by Edmund White, was published by Penguin Books in 1984. Odom is also the designer of the Gene Marshall collectible fashion doll.

Odom was born in Richmond, Virginia, USA, and grew up in Ahoskie, North Carolina, where his parents encouraged his interests in drawing and in dolls. He majored in fashion illustration at Virginia Commonwealth University and then attended Leeds Polytechnic Institute of Art and Design in England for graduate work before moving to New York City in 1975.

"Hard Stuff"

His Art Deco-like style established him as a commercial artist, at first via erotic illustrations for sexually oriented magazines such as Blueboy, Viva, and Playboy, the last of which named him their "Illustrator of the Year" in 1980. In the same year, he provided the cover art for Edmund White's novel Nocturnes for the King of Naples.

"Mouth to Mouth" for Blueboy Magazine

During the 1980s, his work covered many commercial media. He created album covers for CBS Records and book covers for numerous other novels, usually in the genres of fantasy, mystery, or horror. He provided illustrations for the science/science-fiction magazine OMNI and (in 1989) a front cover for Time magazine.

In 1990, Odom proposed to design the cosmetic facepaint for Mdvanii, a 25 cm limited-edition collector's fashion doll. The experience renewed his childhood interest in dolls and led him to create a doll of his own, the 15.5" Gene Marshall.

Gene Marshall's appearance, wardrobes, and history are modelled on the glamour of Hollywood's golden age from the 1920s through 1950s. The doll made its commercial debut at the 1995 Toy Fair and was an immediate success, creating a wider market for large, fully articulated collector's fashion dolls in contrast to the slightly smaller and less flexible Barbie doll. Since then, Odom has largely concentrated his professional pursuits on the Gene Marshall doll, regularly modifying her design to create new variations and creating similar companion dolls to share her world, such as Gene's "co-stars" Madra Lord, Violet Waters, and Trent Osborn.

Odom continues to attend doll collectors' conventions to make personal appearances and buy dolls for his own collection, as well as to support charitable causes. Of his early friends in the art world, he estimates that two-thirds of them died of AIDS in the 1980s before the awareness and treatment of the disease became better known. At a 1997 doll convention entirely devoted to Gene Marshall, a charity auction of uniquely modified Gene dolls raised more than $30,000 for Gay Men's Health Crisis, an AIDS service organization.

1949 – Frank Ripploh was a German actor, film director, and author (d.2002). He is best remembered for his semi-autobiographical 1981 movie Taxi zum Klo.

The film, produced on a shoestring budget of 100,000 DM, explored the day-to-day life of a Berlin schoolteacher who also led a very active gay sex life. Extremely explicit, especially for its day, Taxi zum Klo was considered groundbreaking for the subject matter it portrayed, and achieved something of a cult status among gay audiences of the time.

Ripploh also participated in the creation of a small number of other art house films during the 1980s, and had a role in the 1982 movie Querelle.

He died of cancer in 2002.

1997 – The Virginia Court of Appeals upholds the solicitation conviction of a man for soliciting an undercover police officer who led him to believe that he was looking for sex.

Ira Sachs on Fassbinder, Passages, and the State of Queer Cinema

WILLIAMS: When we met some years ago, and I brought you to Bard for Keep the Lights On, I asked you about the state of queer cinema. I’m wondering where we are now.

SACHS: Well, all I would say is look at the history of the most successful gay filmmakers in America and Europe and notice what stories they’re telling. I think that to have a sustained career in which the gay experience is central seems nearly impossible. And I think that means we have so few films. You know, for me, I have to go back to Taxi zum Klo and Je Tu Il Elle, a period of opportunity and abundance, for the kinds of images that I need.

Happy endings, sad endings

Sometimes endings are happy. Sometimes endings are sad. Sometime they are bittersweet. And sometimes they are open, ambiguous.

Some people are okay with sad or open endings. Others are not.

The main driver of this post is the impending ending of By My Favorite this coming Friday. I'm posting this on Tuesday, August 8, and the finale is Friday, August 11.

This post has partial spoilers for 3 Will Be Free (through the end of the series), 55:15 Never Too Late (ditto), Bad Buddy (ditto), Secret Crush on You (ditto), Be My Favorite (through the end of episode 11), and miscellaneous queer films and plays, as seen through the lens of someone who is watching Be My Favorite for the first time and has years of queer media watching behind him.

There is some current angst in the Be My Favorite discussion that it could have a sad ending, that is, that Kawi will die. We don't know for sure this will happen. It looks bad. It looks so bad that Pisaeng desperately tries the crystal globe and is rewarded with a trip to the past. The mystery uncle who seems to know everything there is to know about time travel says you can go back in time and change your actions, but you can't change fate. So, the series could still end with Kawi's death at a relatively young age, in his late 20s.

It could also be open-ended where we spend all of episode 12, the finale, in the past and we never find out what happens seven years later.

The point is, it's looking like we're not going to get an unambiguously happy ending.

And I'm okay with that.

I love happy endings. And I think we are getting enough of them that we can tolerate a sad ending now and then.

As I mention in my Tumblr intro post, I'm an older queer cis dude. When I was in college I saw the plays Boys in the Band and Fortune and Men's Eyes on stage. Both present sad pictures of gay male life. Even if nobody died (in Band, don't remember for Fortune), I can't really say that either one presented a happy ending.

When I was coming out in my late 20's, I saw various gay-themed films of the time (from what I can remember) Sebastiane (martyrdom), The Consequence (disappearance), The Children's Hour (suicide), This Special Friendship (suicide), The Music Lovers (suicide or murder), Death in Venice (death from disease), That Certain Summer (rejection by the son), Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom (multiple murders), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (happy ending for the straight couple, death for the homosexual), Fox and His Friends (financial ruin), El diputado (don't remember, but I think it wasn't happy), Deathtrap (the gay characters supposedly kill each other), Taxi Zum Klo (gay teacher shows up drunk in class), Making Love (couple splits but one gets a new relationship), La Cage aux Folles (I think this one ends with the conservative in-laws accepting the gay couple parents), and Personal Best (one of a same-sex couple ends up in a straight relationship).

Gay characters were showing up in non-gay films as well, but didn't always end well. For example, in Francois Truffaut's The Last Metro (1980), there is a gay character who dies. It happens in the middle and is not the focus of the film, but that was common for the time. @absolutebl calls this "Kill the Gays".

There were happy endings for gay characters in film, more and more as time went on, but it wasn't until I moved to San Francisco and started attending the Frameline film festival that I started seeing happy endings regularly. Nowadays there are so many happy endings to gay films that I don't mind the occasional unhappy one.

My lesbian bestie says happy endings for lesbians are few and far between. Heterosexual Jill is a good one.

Okay, lets do some time travel back before I started watching gay and gay-adjacent content.

When studying queer film history casually, I saw Mädchen in Uniform (Germany, 1931) which had an attempted suicide which was averted. But things changed, at least in the US, with the implementation for the Motion Picture Production Code, also known as the Hayes Code, from 1934 to 1968. This required banning on-screen representation of homosexuality, and all extramarital sex had to be shown as unattractive and illicit. Homosexuality became coded, hidden. There was a gay-positive reference at the end of Some Like it Hot (1959), but that film was denied a seal of approval. However, since the code was technically voluntary, it got distributed anyway and was a hit. (Sadly, I didn't like it when I saw it as part of the same study series.)

Okay, so now we move to QL. Thai QL apparently started with the same trend of unhappy endings (Love of Siam and the gay part of Dew the Movie, for instance). But nowadays we get mostly happy endings, particularly on GMMTV.

Some argue whether Bad Buddy has a happy ending. Pat and Pran are together, but officially have to keep their relationship a secret, even though their parents actually know. I argue it is a qualified happy ending, as they are together and happy, if not fully open.

Secret Crush on You has happy endings for not only the gay couples, including femme characters, but also for the non-binary/trans character.

We are also getting some mixed endings in queer-adjacent series.

55:15 Never Too Late leaves a straight teacher dead and the gay character alone (but, I argue, more at peace with his current fate and the opportunity to move forward now that he knows he is loveable). The other straight characters have a chance at happiness but it remains to be seen if they will achieve it. Also, the gay character's 15 year old love interest is left alone, not knowing why the 15 year old he loved disappeared. Hopefully, he has a chance at happiness as well. I'd call it a slice of life open ending.

3 Will Be Free leaves our 3 lead characters safe. The gay character appears to no longer be part of the throuple, but this was the least of his worries during most of the series. The trans character has lost both of the men who she loved and who accepted her unconditionally, and has had experiences which will likely haunt her for the rest of her life, but has gotten closure and affirmed her identity. So I'd call the ending mixed.

So, let's get back to some possible not-so-happy endings for Be My Favorite (thanks to @twig-tea for some episode 12 speculation:

Pisaeng's trip to the past does not result in Kawi surviving. (Kawi may even say he's okay with this.)

Pisaeng breaks up with Kawi so as not to ever infect him.

Pisaeng waits until he is about to be sick then leaves Kawi temporarily so as not to infect him. (Least time away from Kawi but also least dramatic. And if it's fate that Kawi dies it may not help.)

Pisaeng and Kawi wear masks once Pisaeng realizes he's getting sick. (Okay, this one is even less dramatic but I can't believe in the age of COVID they didn't think of that, even if the series doesn't seem to acknowledge that 2020-2022 was treated by most of the world as an epidemic. Not sure whether Thailand is as mask-positive as Hong Kong although I have noticed some masks in various Behind the Scenes videos.) But it's too late and Kawi gets sick and dies anyway.

Let's face it. We have Schroedinger's ending. It's already been edited and in the can (well, on the hard drive). Whatever we will see on Friday has already been ordained: happy, sad, mixed, open, ambiguous.

But we've had enough happy endings for gay characters that if this one's sad, then bring it on. I'll be sad, but not mad as long as they set it up.

And it would be nice to see happy endings for trans and lesbian characters as well.

Frank Ripploh é um pouco de patife: ele é um professor de barba e de cabelos desgrenhados, e é gay com uma vida sexual muito ativa e interesse em fazer filmes. Ele mantém sua vida pessoal e ensinando separada, mas às vezes ele corrige papéis de estudantes em banheiros públicos enquanto ele espera para marcar. Ele cruza constantemente, e uma noite, ele conhece Bernd. Eles se tornam amantes. Enquanto Bernd é atencioso e atencioso, Frank fica entediado e continua suas maneiras polimorfosamente perversas. Por quanto tempo Bernd e Frank tolerarão os hábitos um do outro, e por quanto tempo o Frank pode manter sua orientação sexual fora da sala de aula? As coisas vêm para uma cabeça durante a bola anual da rainha de Berlim e a manhã seguinte.

Ehrung für Zivilcourage der Stadt und der Polizei imRathaus-Foyer - Zwölf Männer und Frauen wurden für ihren Mut und ihrEingreifen geehrt

Krefeld (ots) - Es gehört schon lange zur gemeinsamen Tradition der Krefelder Polizei und der Krefelder Stadtverwaltung: Einmal im Jahr ehren die Polizeipräsidentin und der Oberbürgermeister gemeinsam mit dem Verein "Weisser Ring" und der "Gesellschaft Bürger und Polizei" Menschen, die in Krefeld im letzten Jahr besondere Zivilcourage bewiesen haben. Am Donnerstag, den 10. August, wurden insgesamt zwölf Männer und Frauen für ihren Mut und für ihr Eingreifen im Krefelder Rathaus-Foyer ausgezeichnet. "Der Begriff Zivilcourage steht für so viele starke Eigenschaften. Zum Beispiel für den Mut, für Schwächere einzutreten und nicht wegzuschauen, wenn Ungerechtigkeit geschieht", sagte der Oberbürgermeister Frank Meyer zur Begrüßung der Gäste. "Dass dieser Alltagsmut kein Alter, kein Geschlecht, keine bestimmte berufliche Bildung oder kulturelle Herkunft erfordert, wird durch die Vielfalt der Menschen bewiesen, die wir heute auszeichnen." Geehrt wurden zum Beispiel Cathy Cuber, Andre Rohleder, Charleen Heinz und Lauralei Schweren-Carnell. Mit gerade einmal 15 und 16 Jahren griffen die vier Schüler ein, als eine Frau auf dem Hülser Markt sexuell belästigt und zu Boden geworfen wurde. Die Krefelder gingen dazwischen und riefen die Polizei. Ehrenhaften Einsatz hat auch Marcel Beser im vergangenen Sommer gezeigt. Als er mit seiner Tochter auf der Blumenstraße in der Krefelder Innenstadt unterwegs war, bemerkte er ein Feuer in einem Mehrfamilienhaus. Er zögerte keinen Moment und trat die Hauseingangstür ein. Koordiniert lief er alle Wohnungen ab. Im Dachgeschoss lebt die Hauseigentümerin, sie ist stark geheingeschränkt. Obwohl es im Erdgeschoss schon lichterloh brannte, hatte sie noch nichts von dem Feuer bemerkt. Beser klopfte so lange gegen ihre Türe, bis sie endlich öffnete. Unbeschädigt konnte sie mit ihrem Treppenlift noch aus dem Dachgeschoss den Weg ins Freie finden. Alle Beteiligten waren sich sicher: Hätte der 46-Jährige nicht so geistesgegenwärtig reagiert, wäre sie wohlmöglich - auch aufgrund ihrer Geheinschränkung - nicht mehr sicher aus dem Brandhaus herausgekommen. Einen Brand meldete auch Matthias Hauser, als er im Oktober in Traar unterwegs war. Dichter weißer Rauch strömte aus dem Schornstein eines Wohnhauses. Er klingelte Sturm und weckte somit das dort lebende Ehepaar, das einen Mittagsschlaf gemacht hatte. Dadurch bewahrte er sie vor schwerwiegenden Folgen. "Es sind bewegende Geschichten, die berühren und die zum Nachdenken anregen. Das Einschreiten von Ihnen, die Sie heute hier geehrt werden, war Zivilcourage in Reinform: eine demokratische Tugend, die sich am Gemeinwohl orientiert", sagte auch Polizeipräsidentin Ursula Mecklenbrauck in ihrer Ansprache. "Sie haben sich für Menschen eingesetzt, die Sie überhaupt nicht kannten. Zu denen Sie keinerlei Bindung hatten. Damit sind Sie Vorbild - auch für mich persönlich." Mit einem Video vorgestellt wurde der Einsatz des Krefelder Taxifahrers Adriano Franco. Als er im vergangenen Jahr in Oppum am Bromeledonk mit seinem Taxi hielt, entwickelte sich der Tag überraschend in eine andere Richtung: Durch besondere Aufmerksamkeit und schnelles Einschreiten bewahrte er eine 91-Jährige vor dem Enkeltrick und davor, 23.000 Euro zu verlieren. Besonders aufmerksam waren auch Ersin Cuha und Ralf Thelen. Frühmorgens beobachtete einer der Geehrten ungewöhnliche Bewegungen auf einem benachbarten Tankstellengrundstück. Als die Scheibe des Tankstellenhäuschens eingeschlagen wurde, reagierte er blitzschnell und bat in der benachbarten Autowerkstatt um Hilfe. Gemeinsam stellten Cuha und Thelen den Einbrecher und konnten ihn - obwohl er sich wehrte - bis zum Eintreffen der Polizei festhalten. Für die Ehrung zweier Polizeibeamten war am Donnerstagabend auch Feuerwehr-Leiter Andreas Klos ins Rathaus-Foyer gekommen. Lukas Viga und Lukas Nacke waren im Streifendienst, als ihnen an der Siempelkampstraße eine bewusstlose Person gemeldet wurde. Die Polizisten begannen mit Erste-Hilfemaßnahmen und stellten hierbei einen Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand fest. Sie führten eine Laienanimation mit Hilfe eines Defibrillators durch. Das rettete dem 57-Jährigen das Leben. Nicht anwesend war Hans-Georg Holzweißig, der aus seiner Heimat in Nidderau in Hessen im August letztens Jahres in Krefeld zu Besuch war. Auf der Hochstraße war er Zeuge, als ein Ladendieb 1.000 Euro Bargeld aus der Kasse eines Lebensmittelgeschäfts stahl. Als der Dieb die Verkäuferin attackierte, hielt der 74-Jährige den Täter von hinten an beiden Armen bis zum Eintreffen der Polizei fest, obwohl sich dieser mit Schlägen und Tritten zu befreien versuchte. Der Ladendieb wurde inzwischen zu mehreren Jahren Haft verurteilt. Hans-Georg Holzweißig wird eine Urkunde für seinen besonderen Einsatz nach Hessen geschickt. Die Ehrung im Rathaus-Foyer wurde wie schon im vergangenen Jahr durch die Jazz-Rock-Pop-Band des Landespolizeiorchesters NRW begleitet. Die Band samt Sängerin Ciara Ehren verlieh den vorgestellten Fällen den entsprechenden Soundtrack Read the full article

Burning the candle at both ends, as usual:

started a developmental assessment and screening tools module. 

reviewed the CARAS reading group calendar and syllabus

downloaded, retrieved, checked out, and scanned materials for the August 6th reading group meeting

submitted a volunteer sheet for Equality Illinois to work a shift at Market Days in two weeks. 

applied for a toddler co-lead role at another school. 

submitted availability for a phone interview to a recruiter that reviewed my application.

I mowed the backyard and most of the curb strip before the battery gave up/overheated (it was 86 degrees and we were at Code Red for air quality). 

I’m starting to seriously resonate with Peggy in Taxi zum Klo.

Erster Tag in Bangkok

Wir steigen mit ziemlich wenig Schlaf im Gepäck morgens bei 30 °C aus dem Flieger. Erstmal alle aufs Klo bzw wickeln, Zähne putzen und dann zur Immigration, die unglaublich schnell geht, da wir wieder durch die Familienschlange dürfen. Wir holen uns eine Sim Karte fürs Handy und schnappen uns ein Taxi zum Hotel Tints of Blue inmitten von Sukhumvit, einem schönen Viertel im Zentrum. Angekommen dürfen wir erstmal frühstücken und Leon wird gleich in die Herzen der Mitarbeiter und Tischnachbarn geschlossen. Es gibt typisches Thai Frühstück, Reis mit Curry oder Gemüse, oder auf Bestellung Ei in allen Varianten. Dazu super leckere Wassermelone 🤤🍉 und richtig guten Kaffee! Als wir fertig sind, dürfen wir sogar schon unsere Zimmer beziehen. Wir ruhen uns erstmal ein bisschen aus und Leon hüpft direkt in die Badewanne. Gegen 13 Uhr wollen wir los. Doch Leon macht uns erstmal einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Er schreit wie am Spieß und möchte partout nicht im Buggy bleiben. Also nochmal zurück ins Hotel. Die Wunderwaffe stillen hilft. Dann Leon unschnallen und ins Tuktuk zur Hauptstraße. Dort geht's mit der auf Kühlschranktemperatur gekühlten Metro zum Chatuchak Markt. Es gibt sämtliche Asiatischen Leckereien unter anderem auch Seidenspinnerraupen, Heuschrecken und Mehlwürmern. Es ist ziemlich heiß, wir laufen im Schatten und schmelzen dennoch dahin. Eine Kokosnuss und Eis müssen her! Frisch gestärkt geht's weiter. Jutta sucht ein Kleid und kurze Hose. Die kleinen Thai-Größen machen das allerdings nicht gerade leicht, sodass wir erstmal aufgeben. Wir schlendern weiter über den belebten Markt und essen ein wenig später unser erstes Pad Thai, Reisnudeln mit Ei, Tofu und Schrimps an einer Straßenküche. Lecker wars! Dann machen wir uns langsam wieder auf den Weg zur Metro und zurück nach Sukhumvit. Inzwischen ist es 18:30, die Sonne ist Blutrot untergegangen und wir bestaunen die Skyline bei Dunkelheit. Wir haben noch Hunger, also geht's nochmal was essen. Diesmal zum Inder. Leon wacht auf und hat Spaß im Kinderstuhl. Wir gehen zurück zum Hotel, die letzten paar Minuten holt uns wieder das hoteleigene Tuktuk ab. Zur Abkühlung und Freude von Leon springen wir nochmal im den Pool und fallen dann müde ins Bett.
