(Community Matters) I may not have the full story yet but received a copy of an Equality Texas’ blog posting saying St. Edward’s is excluding them from an on campus internship day. I’ve written to our four friends on the board of trustees. Hard to believe they’d support such discrimination. I’m gonna assume the story is incomplete until I hear more.

(Community Matters) You ought to check it out. Be creative, even naughty. You’ll see what I mean.

(Community Matters) Well, turns out Christwire.org is a spoof.  Though, intended as satire, it’s been taken seriously by both sides –  I recently cited their posting “Is My Husband Gay”

Their target, they say, is not Christians but those who do not question what they hear on the news.

(Community Matters) for those unfamiliar with Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City Series, it is epic.  There were so little engaging, affirming contemporary LGBT popular literature in the 70s and 80s, it was like water in the desert.  Rarely are return visits as gratifying, yet I can’t wait to find out. The new book in the series Mary Ann in Autumn will be released Nov 2

Twenty years have passed since Mary Ann Singleton left her husband and child in San Francisco to pursue her dream of a television career in New York. Now, a pair of personal calamities has driven her back to the city of her youth and into the arms of her oldest friend, Michael “Mouse” Tolliver.

Mary Ann finds temporary refuge in Michael’s backyard cottage, where she licks her wounds and takes stock of her mistakes. Soon, with the help of Facebook and a few old friends, she begins to reengage with life, only to confront fresh terrors when her checkered past comes back to haunt her in a way she could never have imagined.

More than three decades in the making, Armistead Maupin’s legendary Tales of the City series rolls into a new age, still sassy, irreverent, and curious, and still exploring the boundaries of the human experience with insight, compassion, and mordant wit

(Community Matters) is on the rise, around the country, around the world.  Even politicos are feeling emboldened enough to joke about it online – Montana Tea Party President here

(Community Matters) Michael Mitchell and I went to the Intergalactic Nemesis preview performance last night and liked it.  Jason Neulander and company have created a fun, engaging and smart piece.  Imagining a more intimate theater setting, bags of popcorn, oversized, spiked drinks, watching from the balcony . . .  I recommend tonight’s and tomorrow’s performances – dress causally, have a couple of drinks beforehand and laugh out loud
