OUT on DVD/VOD: Halloweed
It does not take long before the besmirched family name catches up to them. Joey, a free spirited stoner seemingly oblivious to his sexual orientation, and Trent, a love sick pessimist, look like the main suspects after a string of murders, similar to a rash of killings 30 years earlier, coincidentally begins just as they arrive in town. It is a race against time because a slash-happy killer on the loose and the bodies are piling up!

Significant Challenges Discussed at Gender and Incarceration Symposium
Scholars from across the country gathered for an interdisciplinary discussion of issues facing incarcerated individuals such as parental rights, treatment of transgender inmates, sexual orientation-based segregation, sexual violence, pregnancy, solitary confinement, and the intersection of race and gender in confinement.
“The mass incarceration system which entraps black and brown men is a backlash to the civil rights gains of the 1960,” remarked Associate Professor of History Jen Manion, from Amherst College. “It is an ever expanding web of control and violence.” Manion is the author of two books, Liberty's Prisoners: Carceral Culture in Early America, and Taking Back the Academy: History of Activism, History as Activism. Manion is currently working on her third book titled, “Born in the Wrong Time: Transgender Archives & the History of Possibility, 1740-1890.”
“One in every three women incarcerated in the world are incarcerated right here in the United States,” explained Rachel Roth, author of Breaking Promises: Violations of the Massachusetts Pregnancy Standards and Anti-Shackling Law. “Although Massachusetts has a reputation as being a progressive state, a few years ago, when other states were repealing their three-strikes laws, Massachusetts passed one.”
Also presenting at the symposium were Professor Gabriel Arkles from Northeastern University, Brenda Smith from Washington College of Law at American University, Terry Kupers from the Wright Institute, and Carol Strickman from Legal Services for Prisoners with Children.
The Symposium concluded with a panel moderated by Erin Buzuvis, Law Professor and Director of the Center for Gender & Sexuality Studies at Western New England, providing the symposium attendees an opportunity to delve more deeply into the topics discussed throughout the day. Western New England Law Review Symposium Editor Samantha J. LeBoeuf, and Editor-in-Chief Sarah A. Morgan planned and organized this successful symposium.
“I believe social awareness is an important catalyst for reform,” explained Samantha LeBoeuf. “The symposium created an opportunity to discuss issues that otherwise go unheard. We were proud to host such a wonderful group of scholars and practitioners for an informative and interdisciplinary discussion.”
Supreme Court To Decide on School Restroom Ban for Transgender Students
The United States Supreme
Court has decided to consider the case of Gavin Grimm, a transgender
boy from Virginia, who wanted to use the restroom at his school that
aligned with
his gender identity. A lower court ruled in his favor but the ruling
was stayed by the Supreme Court for further consideration.
“We are pleased that Gavin’s
case will now be considered by the Supreme Court. In taking the case,
the Court is making history as it’s the first time it has considered
transgender freedom, justice and equality. Our hope
is that it will make history again by affirming that stopping Gavin and
other transgender children from using the restroom that matches their
gender identities is sex discrimination and therefore illegal under
Title IX,” said Victoria M. Rodríguez-Roldán,
Trans/Gender Non-Conforming Justice Project Director.

Body, Gender & Sexual Landscapes
Logo Announces Two New Comedy Specials from Bianco Del Rio
After winning “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 6, Bianca Del Rio’s career has been on fire. She has toured the world playing for sold out crowds and most recently starred in her own movie, “Hurricane Bianca.” In these two comedic specials, Del Rio takes her career to the next level and has moved to Hollywood to take on the world. In the first special, Bianca tries to flex her celebrity to go after a booking on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” while in the second special Bianca learns the true meaning of the holidays.
“When Logo offered me my own comedy special, I said, ‘Let’s make it a double,’” cracked Bianca Del Rio. “Partnering with World of Wonder, the twisted minds behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, we mixed our favorite ‘90s movies, a splash of Broad City and topped if off with a pint of cheap vodka. The results are two off-the-wall episodes of Not Today Bianca that are based on my own sad and hilarious life since moving to Los Angeles.”
