For the queer & curious,
From the family that brought you the Adonis at Lowlands Festival. Grooves and disco glitz! Don’t settle for natural, release your supernatural.
Today we celebrate the icon to end all icons: Sylvester. Happy birthday to this wonderful being that transcended boundaries before anyone did and with a voice that remains unquestioned to this day.
.
Born in Los Angeles, Sylvester developed a love of singing through the gospel choir of his Pentecostal church. Leaving the church after the congregation expressed disapproval of his homosexuality, he found friendship among a group of black cross-dressers and transgender women who called themselves The Disquotays. Moving to San Francisco in 1970 at the age of 22, Sylvester embraced the counterculture and joined the avant-garde drag troupe The Cockettes, producing solo segments of their shows which were heavily influenced by female blues and jazz singers like Billie Holiday and Josephine Baker. During the Cockettes' critically panned tour of New York City, Sylvester left them to pursue his career elsewhere. He came to front Sylvester and his Hot Band, a rock act that released two commercially unsuccessful albums on Blue Thumb Records in 1973 before disbanding.
Focusing on a solo career, Sylvester signed a recording contract with Fantasy Records and obtained three new backing singers in the form of Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes – the "Two Tons O' Fun" – as well as Jeanie Tracy. His first solo album, Sylvester (1977), was a moderate success. This was followed with the acclaimed disco album Step II (1978), which spawned the singles "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)", both of which were hits in the U.S. and Europe. Distancing himself from the disco genre, he recorded four more albums – including a live album – with Fantasy Records. After leaving this label, he signed to Megatone Records, the dance-oriented company founded by friend and collaborator Patrick Cowley, where he recorded four more albums, including the Cowley penned hit Hi-NRG track "Do Ya Wanna Funk." An activist who campaigned against the spread of HIV/AIDS, Sylvester died from complications arising from the virus in 1988, leaving all future royalties from his work to San Francisco-based HIV/AIDS charities. ❤️🌿

‘bout that 3 stories high life with @junodijkshoorn last weekend 🏢 #fryskefamkes #adonisll #highlife #6foottall #amsterdam #dinnen
Adonis did THAT! No way we were gonna skip an entire year because of Covid-19.
We gave it our all during two nights of livestream and I couldn’t be more proud of my amazing Adonis family! These are very troubling times for artistic queer folk, but we keep on keeping on the best we can with @thesupernature. Thank you for believing in us. ❤️🌿
More pics soon.
Pride this year was weird and wonderful, with more focus on the fight for equality, a beautiful reminder of what Pride should be about.
We did also celebrate though, with a “seated” edition of Supernature Serving: Pride.
I want to thank my main sweeties Eljany, Maurice & Sander, all the amazing performers, the crew at Lofi and most of all, the people that came and made this evening a warm queer gathering. I love you! ❤️

Pride began with a massive protest this year instead of a festival and that’s a very good thing.
Even though we should (and will) still celebrate our beautiful community this week, this edition of Pride will be remembered for bringing back it’s roots: PRIDE STARTED AS A RIOT. 💥
We have a long way to go before our entire community feels safe, loved and valued and if you are still catching up, NOW is the time to educate yourself. No more excuses, no more fake allyship, no more silence: SPEAK UP! For Black trans people, for femme refugees, for the non-binary & pansexuals, for ALL PEOPLE!
Thank you @blackpride.nl, @blackqueertransresistance & @naomiepieter for your ongoing presence, I love and support you. ❤️

Yes, I’ve posted this before as a story, but it’s important to keep active, because this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon 10 times over.
💥
Worldwide we’re celebrating Pride month and intersectionality with our Black & Brown brothers and sisters is something we have to make a mainstay in our fight for equal rights. There is no other way.
💥
Even though we can celebrate small victories, there is so much more to do.
* Get Black history in the schoolbooks in every country!
* Get rid of ‘Black Pete’ not just locally, but nationally.
* Get rid of colonial statues and other material that glorify/mock the slave trade and do nothing to educate.
* Stop racist policies that target poc (@belastingdienstnl are you reading along)
* Put poc in positions of power and decision making. In companies and politics.
* Protect and uplift those who are most vulnerable in both communities: trans and non-binary people. I got you.
💥
Please don’t say silent. Please keep using your voice and your platform. Thank you ❤️
