donations by means of a donation can and or by holding
an event in the name of Gay Pride, it will help your chances
at winning the title. Its that simple! Besides that you
will be donating all of the monies raised to a non-profit
organization that needs help in education and support in the
community. The benefits; You receive a sash with the year you
became Miss Gay Pride, a chance to showcase yourself to the

BEAUTIFUL BOXER
In the tradition of biopics like "The Aviator" and "Ray"
and boxing movies
like "Million Dollar Baby" and "Rocky",
this true-life story about Thailand's transsexual
boxing champion captures the complexity of a man
who fights to maintain his dignity in a
macho sport that wants to turn
him into a travesty. "A
tearjerker that kicks ass" raved the San Fransisco
Bay Guardian. In English and Thai with
English subtitles. Unrated. 108 min.
Shows are at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
"She is very beautiful, with all the grace
that a woman should have. At the age of 24, this lady has
a marvelous feminine sculpted body, with very long legs. She
has stylish manicured hands that express more her story than her words
only would do. The long nailed fingers drum on the glass table when
trying to recall an incident, and all fingers are gracefully spread
wide open when talking about how much fun she had in the boxing rings
in Thailand." see and

Hotter Than July! to host
transgender summit July 29
Panelists to discuss
Henry Benjamin Standards of Care
By Dawn Wolfe Gutterman
DETROIT - Detroit's Black Gay Pride celebration
isn't forgetting the "T" in LGBT. On July 29, two prominent
members of the
transgender community will discuss, explain and dissect
the Henry Benjamin Standards of Care, a set of rules that mental
health professionals and surgeons follow in the
treatment of transgender patients.
The summit is being organized by Demetrius
Taylor, a.k.a.Samantha Stephens-Divinity, a transvestite performer
and founder
of the House of Divinity, a support organization
for transgender persons in Detroit.
As part of
Hula's Bar & Lei Stand's
31st Anniversary Celebration month we are presenting Kaumakaiwa
"Lopaka" Kanaka`ole and his band, this Saturday July 23, 9:30 pm.
Kaumakaiwa "Lopaka" Kanaka`ole is a Na Hoku
Hanohano winner and Lopaka wowed the audience at the
Brothers Cazimero's May Day concert as guest artist, this year.
Due to the fact we have incurred a lot of expenses
to bring Lopaka and his band from Hilo we decided to buy
radio advertising to boost business. At Lopaka's record label,
Mountain Apple, suggestion we approached**/ "The Breeze 99.5"/
a Hawaiian music format radio station. The salesperson knew about
Hula's as she had been there many times at
the old location. The ad script was approved
and a signed contract was about to faxed back to them when we received
a call from/ "The Breeze 99.5"/** 's ad manager, who said, "I can't
take your business". When asked why he said because we are
a family company and you are a gay bar, then hung up on me!
Hula's has served the Honolulu gay and non-gay
community for 31 years. In all of these years we have never felt
any kind of discrimination from business or government until now!
Hula's has always strived to be the epitome of the aloha spirit.
And as Hawaiian music is the manifestation of
aloha spirit/ "The Breeze 99.5" seemed like a perfect fit for advertising.
However, their /**management seems not to know the first thing about
aloha.
It is too late for us to advertise on another
radio station. Please come and show your support for Kaumakaiwa
"Lopaka" Kanaka`ole and his band Saturday, July 23 at 9:30, and tell
your friends.
Mahalo,

The Pageant is presented by
the Former Winners of Imperial Hula Hawai'i and Mr. Imperial
Hula 2003-2005 and Miss Imperial Hula 2003-2005.
Here's a little Bio prepared
by The Committee of Imperial Hula Hawai'i:
The Mr./Miss Imperial Hula
started many years ago with Valerie DJ Michaels winning
Miss Christmas after that it turned into a fundraiser for the
Imperial Court of All Hawai'i to help pay for its entry into
the Aloha Week Parade. As the hula competition grew,
there was a name change done to include the whole community in
Hawai'i. Therefore, Mr./Miss Gay Hula grew into Mr./Miss
Imperial Hula Hawai'i. Also, as more Mr./Miss Imperial Hula
winners were named, then they became responsible for the running
Imperial Hula Pageant. For the first time, we will be including
a new category in the costume division called "Na Kino Ao" which
entails a costume dealing with one of the four elements: Earth, Wind,
Fire and Water and hopefully you can relate this to a Hawaiian legend
or song.
Also, part of the proceeds
from this fundraiser will be going to a new scholarship
at the University of Hawai'i for Hawaiian Language and Hawaiian
Studies and a part will be used for the Hospitality Room at Hawai'i
Coronation.
The Contestants who are named
Mr./Miss Imperial Hula will also be responsible for appearing
at The Imperial Court of All Hawai'i Coronation and Investiture.
They also must be part of the planning for their stepping
down as Mr./Miss Imperial Hula, with the previous winners of
Imperial Hula Hawai'i.
Good Luck and Enjoy Yourselves!
Aaloha from the heart, always

women, and children in the Hawaiian Islands. The Paradise
Ride is a grass-roots event that helps support three organizations
engaged in the fight against AIDS on five of those islands.
Join us for a week on two wheels
and experience the true spirit of aloha as we challenge
ourselves and this disease. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers,
business people, homemakers, volunteers; men and women; young
and old. We are family, friends, and colleagues of all ethnicities
and faiths, and our lives have all been touched by HIV and
AIDS.

Can you beleive it? Island
Goddess Pages is now a year old. Remember
how it all began? To help get the word out about
the Reunion 2004
Las Vegas, I thought we could
post the information on my persoanl website and called
it the Island Goddess Pages
just one month before the Reunion. Wow! What an
immediate impact this had on the communicaton/connection
we all made with those attending and many who couldn't
but wanted to be in touch.
