Welcome our newest member, Lance! Rebecca, appreciate your offer, and I may have you do just that... Can't hurt to have as many as possible. :-)

Some of you may get a charge out of this. In order to be listed as a diversity supplier for some of the contracts I fulfill, I have to get certified by the National Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The process is quite involved, but in essence, you have to certify you are truly gay. Hello? First, I doubt many would choose to pretend they are gay in this culture. But more importantly, I have to have letters of reference that tell the NGLCC that I am gay. I am not even sure who to ask for those-- and do they need to include pictures or anything? I guess I will find out who my true friends are! Anyway, just thought you might get a chuckle out of the fact that someday soon I will be certifiably gay. I hope they give me a wallet-sized card to carry around--so I can then finally be able to play "my gay card."

I am so grateful that the hate crimes bill has passed through Congress. I know there are those protesting that this will curtail the free speech of people with homophobia or moral objections to queerness, but the truth is that this is ONLY about repercussions from assault, not speech. I am especially pleased that this bill also included gender, gender identity, and gender presentation. Officially, it is the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd hate crimes bill-- and officially all it needs is the President's signature on it to make it law. I hope that he doesn't take a long time (he has pledged to sign it), as every day brothers and sisters everywhere are being assaulted for erotic attraction or perceptions of it, or their gender or gender presentation. Enough with the hate, already.

Come along with me on a wonderful spiritiual tour to France that I am co-leading next June. We will be tracing the legend of Mary Magdalene, staying in monasteries, delving deeply into the call of the Divine Feminine re-emrging in all of us. It will be a soulful, creation-centered, inner journey held within the outer journey of the beautiful French countryside. Reply to me here and I will email you the Itinerary and more details.

Happy National Coming Out Day! Please remember the activists marching for justice in Washington DC today, that their efforts may be rewarded with impact, and that they are safe from those who believe they are justified in doing harm.

We welcome Norma as our 21st member. How wonderful it is that there is support and connection for those of us who are willing to live with the identification of queer. My thanks to those who love and support those of us who love differently than "the rules" of society tell us we may. To those of us who do that diverse loving, thanks for being on this path.

I recently removed my comments from the home page of this community in an effort to make it easier for people just joining us to wade through and figure out what we are about. I am doing it simply for that purpose, not as some sort of passive statement about the community or anything else! I have done the same thing in the discussion section where questions I posed received no feedback.
