We Talk To…
Stuart, can you tell us what made you start The AIDS Memorial? So many people have passed away and been forgotten. Maybe not by their relatives or friends, of course, but AIDS is not a subject that we want to be reminded of. Older people don’t want to relive it. It’s too painful and there […]
Being an Editor-In-Chief of an international queer magazine has its perks. Sometimes it’s free trips to Spain, sometimes it’s back stage passes to Mariah in Vegas and sometimes it’s interviewing one of your favourite artists of all time – Joan Osborne. Back in the mid-90s we were caught up in that Lilith Fair moment and […]
Loverboy’s resolution this year was to stop being a hot mess on the dancefloor and take some actual dance classes with choreography. But here we are in March – we’ve still not discovered our local studio and somehow we’re even more of a mess than last year. Someone we have been taking lessons from is […]

Cunts. But it was during this transitional period when an equally young Lady […]
Bladerunner’s Zhora, Six Feet Under’s Margaret Chenowith and even Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead’s Rose – let’s be honest your faves could never. Yes, it’s fair to say Joanna Cassidy has taken on some truly iconic roles. Currently appearing in Bravo’s terrific Odd Mom Out, Loverboy caught up with her to discuss narrowly missing […]
Queer music (and queer culture, generally) is having a renaissance right now but we also have a rich and diverse history, some of it obscure and hidden… until now. For the glorious Martin Aston has written the definitive social history of LGBTQ music, Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache: How Music Came Out. Loverboy’s Fallon […]
Last year saw the release of James Franco’s new film King Cobra – based on the life of Brent Corrigan. But four years ago, when Loverboy was just a little blog named The Back Building, we got the inside scoop on what really happened from the man himself…Ever since he first exploded on to the […]
