The Informers

Openly bisexual author Bret Easton Ellis's novel The Informers is being turned into a movie. If his name sounds familiar it’s because he wrote the books American Psycho and Less than Zero. For those like me who have not read his books, or seen the movies based on the books, his style is something unique. The Informers the book is a collection of short stories set in Los Angeles in the ‘80s. Sources say that the original bisexual and gay themes of the book seem to have made it into the movie version. However, with how his characters are written don’t expect it to be a cheerful or encouraging portrayal; the only good news is that all his characters are written this way!

Movie Night

Bilateral will be hosting a movie night this Saturday, November 8. It will be held at 6pm (not on college time) in the Spectrum Center (on the U of M campus). The movie we will be showing is Queen of the Damned, in the spirit of Halloween.

While the movie is not specifically queer, the books that this is based on are not straight. Lestat is portrayed in the books as ominsexual, so this is why the move was chosen. Below are some links if you are curious about the movie and characters.
