Look out for this movie, Prayers for Bobby, over the next few days on Lifetime. It promises to be a very good one, at least I know that it’s a very well told story in book form, tragic and moving as it is. For the queer community it gives a glimpse of hope that even [...]

For my Intro. to Web Communications class this semester I am required to put together a personal interest website. I decided that since I’ve done all this reading on LGBT issues that I would construct it out of that. So I’ve named it A Peculiar People: Queer Theology for an Inclusive Church. [...]

Well, you may have wondered what happened to my planned postings. I decided that the topic of alternative sexualities was just not something that I could in this sort of setting at the moment. I have been doing a lot of reading, though. So I figured I’d give a list of the books that I’ve [...]
