You're Not From Around Here, Are You: A Lesbian in Small-Town America (Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiog) (Paperback)
~ Louise A. Blum
From Publishers Weekly
A pregnant lesbian living in the middle of God's country: it sounds like the premise of a sitcom, but this personal narrative of love and childbirth in Wellsboro, Penn., is by turns poignant and wonderfully witty. Blum (Amnesty), a novelist and college professor, recounts the difficulties that being gay presents when one simply wants to get a mortgage, fix up a house and attend Lamaze classes in a small town. But to Blum's credit, this is no rose-colored, resolutely middle-class, "we're just like everyone else" kind of gay autobiography. She is refreshingly honest not only regarding her ambivalence about having children, but also regarding the sexual tensions the pregnancy causes in her relationship with her partner. Her descriptions of finding a sperm donor are hilarious ("He's attractive, I'd think, shaking someone's hand. I wonder what his sperm count is?"). And the book is filled with touching surprises such as that Blum doesn't admit to herself that she's gay until a year after moving in with her lover. With astonishing resilience, she describes her family's close-mindedness, as well as the prejudice she encounters from the townspeople she'd come to trust. Unfortunately, there's no escaping the miniature terrors of small-town life; as Blum points out, describing a trip across America, "Wellsboro is everywhere." --
'If you have come to help me you can go home again. But if you see my struggle as part of your own survival then perhaps we can work together.'

Akron PFLAG meeting
Date: January 21, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

American Prayer Hour - Toledo
Date: February 4, 2010
Time: 10:00am
Equality Toledo Faith Leaders Coalition
invite you to attend a brief prayer service as a part of the
"American Prayer Hour" on February 4, 2010, at 10 a.m.
The Prayer Service will be at Unity of Toledo
3535 Executive Parkway, Toledo, OH 43606.
We gather because: "Every February, politicians and religious leaders flock to the National Prayer Breakfast. Long a tradition in the Capitol city, the National Prayer Breakfast is organized by the Fellowship Foundation, a fundamentalist Christian organization, scrutinized for their involvement in the Ugandan government’s draconian proposal to criminalize homosexuality – punishable by life imprisonment or death. We cannot be silent or complacent at such an egregious violation of basic human rights and decency. The American Prayer Hour offers an alternative to the collusion in prayer with those who would inflict and support such unspeakable cruelty on another child of God.” - Human Rights Campaign

Visit us online at http://www.americanprayerhour.org/anchor-events/ for more information and to support the Prayer Hour."

Hit by a Farm: how I learned to stop worrying and love the barn, Catherine Friend

Farms have fences. People have boundaries. Mine began crumbling the day I knelt behind a male sheep, reached between his legs, and squeezed his testicles. This took place one blustery November day when I joined other shepherd-wannabees for a class on the basics of raising sheep. I was there with my partner Melissa, the woman I’d lived with for twelve years, because we were going to start a farm .

When self-confessed “urban bookworm” Catherine Friend’s partner of twelve years decides she wants to fulfill her lifelong dream of owning a farm, Catherine agrees. What ensues is a crash course in both living off and with the land that ultimately allows Catherine to help fulfill Melissa’s dreams while not losing sight of her own.

Hit by a Farm is a hilarious recounting of Catherine and Melissa’s trials of “getting back to the land.” It is also a coming-of (middle)-age story of a woman trying to cross the divide between who she is and who she wants to be, and the story of a couple who say “goodbye city life” — and learn more than they ever bargained for about love, land, and yes, sheep sex.

An Evening with Angela Davis
Date: February 11, 2010
Time: 7:00pm
OSU Multicultural Center is proud to present: An Evening with Angela Davis

For those who do not already know about the important roles that Davis played in the Black Panther party, women's liberation movement, and socialist/communist struggles, this in an excellent opportunity to get up to speed.

Davis has published numerous articles, essays, and books, including her autobiography, several books on women and feminism (most notably Women, Race & Class, 1981) and on radical prison reform. Nationally and internationally Angela Davis has been a popular lecturer on the necessity for social change, whether women’s rights, global peace and disarmament, improved opportunities for workers, affordable health care, prison abolition, or the need for and encouragement of youth activism today.

In order to achieve social change Davis argues for politically based coalitions that organize beyond race and ethnic group to include differences in class, culture, gender, and sexual orientation. “We have to recognize the intersectionality, the interconnectedness of all of these institutions and attitudes.”

In a 1997 interview with OUT magazine, Davis confirmed rumors that she is a lesbian, a subject about which she had long been reluctant to speak openly. For Davis, every facet of life is weighted with political significance. Come hear what she has to say!

Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

OSU 4th Annual Moffett GLBT Scholarship Concert
Date: March 5, 2010
Time: 8:00pm

Ho-Lotta Bassoon and Dinah Blowyourhorn To Host Ohio State’s School of Music’s 4th Annual Moffett GLBT Scholarship Concert, Part 2

The 4th Annual Mark Moffett, Jr. GBLT Scholarship Concert, Part 2 will be Friday, March 5, 2010 at 8 p.m. in Weigel Auditorium, 1866 College Rd, on campus. The School of Music at Ohio State has the only GBLT music scholarship in the world. The event is being co-sponsored by Outlook Media.

The concert will be hosted by two new diva sensations who also happen to be musical: Ho-Lotta Bassoon and her step-sister, Dinah Blowyourhorn

Music faculty, students, staff, and alumni volunteer to perform in this scholarship concert, which honors New York pianist Mark Moffett, Jr., who passed away in 2005 at age 40 from brain cancer caused by HIV. Moffett’s partner Paul Lockwood, a staff member in the School of Music, coordinates the event.

The March 5 concert date recognizes Moffett’s March 7 birthday, and the program includes a variety of solos, chamber groups, and ensembles offered in a fast paced “collage” format, with no applause between performances. The program will include a diverse selection – from Chopin to Rufus Wainwright to favorites from muscal theatre. The concert typically draws 60 or more faculty, staff, and student performers.

A donation of $10 is suggested for event admission.

The $1,500 annual Moffett scholarship is awarded annually to a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender music major. Based on artistic ability and social service, the scholarship is awarded with first preference to a piano major, second to a violin major, and third to all other music majors.

LGBTQ Kent State Student Center Grand Opening
Date: March 11, 2010
Time: 4:00pm
New Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Students Opens at Kent State

On Thursday, March 11, Kent State University will open the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Student Center. Located on the second floor of the Kent Student Center, the LGBTQ Student Center will serve as the academic and social hub for the university’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students.

A grand opening event for the new center takes place March 11 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Room 204 of the Kent Student Center. It is free and open to the public. The opening reception will include tours of the center’s office; remarks from Kent State President Lester A. Lefton, Equality Ohio Executive Director Sue Doerfer and two Kent State students; and the presentation of the first Diversity Trailblazer Award to Professor Emeritus of English Delores L. Noll. The award will be presented by Kent State’s Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Alfreda Brown with Lefton.

The new center will house the university’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies and offer varied services and resources to university students. The center will serve as a liaison between LGBTQ students and the administration and faculty. The office will also maintain a calendar of activities and events related to the LGBTQ community and coordinate programs with LGBTQ centers at other universities.

“The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Student Center represents a unique collaboration between the College of Arts and Sciences, the divisions of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at Kent State,” Brown said. “Several students have been asking for this type of center, and to provide support from the collaborations of three major units is to be commended.

“The new center will serve as a gathering place, offering a way for students to feel more connected at the university,” she continued. “The center will raise awareness of LGBTQ communities and cultures, promote inclusion of and safe spaces for LGBTQ at Kent State and in the community, and promote dialogues about sexuality, gender and race.”

Kent State’s history of supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender studies goes back almost 40 years when Noll became the first professor to teach a gay and lesbian issues course at Kent State in 1972. She also is a founding adviser to the Kent Gay Liberation Front, which is now called PRIDE! Kent, one of the oldest gay rights student organizations in the country.

In 2001, Kent State began offering the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies minor, becoming the first university in Ohio to do so. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies minor is designed to allow students to explore sexuality and sexual minorities from a variety of perspectives.

The LGBTQ Student Center is located in Room 226M in the Kent Student Center. It is staffed by volunteers from Kent State’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies faculty and directed by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies Co-Coordinators Molly Merryman from the Department of Justice Studies and Daniel Nadon from the School of Theatre and Dance.

For more information on the LGBTQ Student Center, call the center at 330-672-8008 or e-mail Merryman at mmerryma@kent.edu.

EHEA Discussion - Stonewall Columbus

Time: 11:00am
STATE REP DAN STEWART, EQUALITY OHIO’S SUE DOERFER TO SPEAK

Bill Sponsor and Executive Director to Stress Importance of HB 176 to Fight Discrimination Against Gays



OutLoud will host State Representative Dan Stewart and the Executive Director of Equality Ohio, Sue Doerfer, at the Stonewall Center on High to discuss the Equal Housing and Employment Act (HB 176) on March 13, 2010. Doors open at 11:00 am, speakers begin at 12:00 pm.



Currently, it is still legal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment and housing decisions. Rep. Stewart sponsored HB 176, the Equal Housing and Employment Act, which passed in the House. Senator Dale Miller (D-Cleveland) has agreed to lead the effort to pass the bill in the Senate. Equality Ohio is working to ensure Senate President Bill Harris moves the bill into a committee where the bill will receive a full and fair hearing.



OutLoud was founded in 2010 to provide LGBTA community members a place to gather and discuss relevant topics, offer support for each other, and educate ourselves and others about issues surrounding the community and available resources. It is open every Saturday at the Stonewall Center, 1160 N. High St. Columbus, OH 43201, and is also available on the web at www.outloudcolumbus.com.

Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

The Laramie Projects - 1st UCC Church
Date: April 11, 2010
Time: 12:30pm

On Sunday, April 11th, 12:30 PM, The Sunday Forum, will feature the
showing of the film, "The Laramie Project: The Matthew Shepard Story."
Following the film, Linda Cox, a member of the First Unitarian Universalist
Church, will lead a discussion of the film.

Here is a summary review of the film:

The brutal attack on Matthew Shepard was the kind of wake-up call a society
doesn't get very often. It triggered an avalanche of media, a kind of national
deathwatch until Shepard died five days later.

THE LARAMIE PROJECT is the response of one man, playwright
Mousa Kaufman, and his colleagues at the Tectonic Theater Project, who went
to Laramie, Wyoming, and conducted more than 200 interviews with townspeople
and officials. The result is this inquiry into hate and the thoughts and feelings of
an American community. As one local states, Laramie became instantly
notorious, "like Waco or Jasper." But The Laramie Project is not an exercise in
self-righteous condemnation. It merely attempts to come to terms with what
happened. It's a film, based on the play by the troupe, that presents the details
of the slaying as revealed by those closest to it. The truth lies in the details.

It's a film about homophobia across the nation, but as one woman deftly points out, "Honey, it's still about Laramie." Run time: 1 hour, 37 minutes.

If additional information will be helpful, please contact Earl Wurdlow
at (614) 296-6304.

Donna E. Shalala, Secretary of Health and Human Services, said of the novel's heroine:" Molly Bolt is a genuine descendant--genuine female descendant--of Huckleberry Finn.

"Fagbug" at Kent State
Date: April 21, 2010
Time: 8:00pm
“Fagbug”

On Wednesday, April 21, Erin Davies will drive her Fagbug from Albany, NY, to Kent State for a screening of her documentary of the same name. On the 11th annual National Day of Silence, Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany. Because her Volkswagen Beetle sported a rainbow sticker, Erin’s car was vandalized, left with the words “fag” and “u r gay” painted on the driver’s side window and hood of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. She took her car, now known worldwide as the Fagbug, on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada. Along the way, Erin discovered more serious hate crimes, had people attempt to remove the graffiti and experimented with having a male drive her car.

The Fagbug will be on display on Kent State University’s main campus from 2–5 p.m. on April 21. At 8 p.m., the film will screen in the First Energy Auditorium (Room 340) in Franklin Hall, Kent State University, and Davies will answer questions about her experiences. The event is free and open to the public.

"Trinidad" at Kent State
Date: May 3, 2010
Time: 8:00pm

“Trinidad”

At 8 p.m., Monday, May 3, filmmaker PJ Raval will visit Kent State for a screening of his documentary, “Trinidad,” that explores the small town in Colorado known worldwide as the sex change capital of the world. Locally, the film was the winner of the Nesanday + Schwartz Documentary Film Competition last summer at the 33rd Cleveland International Film Festival.

From the 33rd annual Cleveland International Film Festival Program:

The West has long been a symbol of new beginnings and endless possibilities: the frontier. In Trinidad, Colorado this symbolic resonance took on new meaning when Dr. Stanley Biber performed one of the first successful Genital Reassignment Surgeries (GRS) in 1969. Today the former coal-mining town of 9,000 residents is renowned as the “Sex-Change Capital of the World.” While many locals are still opposed to the moniker, they also recognize the financial impact of these operations. Jay Hodges and PJ Raval’s documentary “Trinidad” shares the amazing story of this frontier town and the residents who inhabit it. Dr. Marci Bowers, formerly known as Mark, has relocated in Trinidad to replace Dr. Biber, who at 80-years-old will retire having performed over 5,800 GRSs. Completing the final stage of her transition from male to female, Sabrina Marcus has moved to Trinidad to help others do the same at Morning Glow, a GRS recovery center. Assisting Sabrina at Morning Glow, Dr. Laura Ellis will begin her operations with Dr. Bowers in the upcoming months. As these three women embark on new beginnings, they challenge (and face the challenges of) altered identities, families, and communities.

This program will also be held in the First Energy Auditorium (Room 340) in Franklin Hall, Kent State University, and is free and open to the public. Raval will take questions after the screening.

Told You So, Kate Clinton
The election of Barack Obama was, no doubt, a bittersweet moment for comedians, political satirists, late night talk show hosts, and fumerists like Kate Clinton. Clinton, in fact, says more than once in her new book, “I TOLD YOU SO,” that “during the Bush regime, what was bad for us was good for me.” From that pronouncement, one might rightly extrapolate that what is good for us (e.g. Barack Obama) as a nation is not so good for Clinton. Fear not!

The not so good news (for us) is that thanks to Prop Hate (as she dubs California’s Proposition 8) and other state and local antigay initiatives, she and her stand up pals have plenty of outrageousness to work with.

One might actually say that rumors of her imminent irrelevance are highly premature and certainly exaggerated!

“I Told You So,” is an irreverent look at the last few years in these not always united states of America with a few parting jabs at W and a glimpse into the considerably more optimistic future.

The book is dedicated to her partner of 21 years, “Urvashi Vaid, who told me so." Clinton explained in a recent interview that it might be more accurate to say that she told everyone else so! “Even before Bush was elected, selected,” she corrects herself, “I had formed a preemptive committee to impeach him.”
Clinton was like a comic Cassandra, circling the town, warning everyone of national disasters to come in the finance20industry, health care, the environment and, of course, the wars. "Any war isn’t going to go well!”

In light of current events Clinton, who "used to loathe Iowa,” told me that she now has to “take back everything bad thing” she ever said about the primary kick-off state—and there was plenty. Why she asks does the election primary season have to start there??? Not a kind word has she to say about “the Gateway to the Rectangular States,” population “not even three million!” “Iowans don’t have to farm,” she says in the book, “the farm subsidy pyramid scam actually pays them not to plant…Then when they’re done deciding the fate of the nation,” she continues, “they Children of the Corn put on their mesh caps, hop in their giant mobile homes, gas up at three bucks a gallon and head on down to some trailer parks for a few months on the gulf.”

Who’d a thunk Iowa would legalize same-sex marriages?! Somewhat grudgingly, she acknowledges, “It was a three year project to get gay m arriage there, and LGBT activists selected Iowa because of its deep progressive roots: Iowa allowed women to vote early on and Iowa moved to abolish slavery ahead of much of the rest of the country.” So maybe it’s not all that surprising. “My bad,” she says.

Clinton makes so many spot on points it’s impossible to enumerate. She describes NY’s Gov. Paterson’s championing of gay rights and gay marriage and concludes: “He sees gay people!” 


Then there’s her assessment that maybe the red states are red from embarrassment. And the blue states are blue of course from holding their breath—failing to take action in the face of red politics or just waiting to see what’s coming next!

You can only shred the status quo so much before it’s not funny, rather it’s just plain d epressing, but thanks to publishing schedules, Clinton had the opportunity to deliver the punch line to the book's set-up in her post-election Afterword. Those final pages offered hope, a light at the end of the tunnel that was not an oncoming train, for a change! I was so relieved to see the Afterword, I confess, I read it before reading the last four or five chapters! Clinton shared that sense of relief—to be able to add the last chapter after the “final” manuscript had gone to the publisher. "Without the last chapter, the book was like a lot of foreplay with no pay-off. We all hate that."

The good news—as if a Dem in the White House, and an African-American at that, isn’t good news enough—Clinton points out that with the changing times, “LGBT people are able to insert ourselves into every discussion: health care, the military—and not just Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” There’s not just this gay voice, there’s a gay presence with openly gay politicians, straight allies and more people inspired to take part and take action.

Looking back on her own lesbian feminist roots, she wonders wistfully if this is “the end of straight white male supremacy…the beginning of what I’ve been waiting for.” We can only hope!

“Like many Americans,” says Clinton in the books final pages, “my job is in flux. [The Bush years,] a comedy gold mine of hypocrisy, mangled language, and venal caricatures made my task easy…[but] with the passage of Prop Hate ballots in California, Florida, Arizona, and Arkansas, my job, with its outsider perspective, is secure for a few more years.”


When asked about this, she adds, “I’ll always have the pope. He just keeps on giving.”

Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Fore! PRIDE
Date: June 12, 2010
Time: Untimed event
I hope you had a joyous New Year!! It's time to start thinking about sunny weather, golf and PRIDE! For those that don't yet know, the PRIDE celebration will be June 18-20. However, there are PRIDE activities all month long! Everything from our golf outing, to a motorcycle poker run, a 5K race, artist showcase, and much more. June is PRIDE month in Central Ohio.



The date has been set for the 3rd Annual Fore! PRIDE Golf Classic. We will be celebrating Fore! PRIDE on June 12th this year. We are looking into a different golf courses this year. We are evaluating 3 different courses and I will reach back out to everyone once we have decided on the specific course. But regardless of the course, it's the players, volunteers and sponsors that make our event one of the finest golf outings around.



For those returning veterans to the spectacular event… expect more entertainment, vendors, sponsors and prizes! For the new folks… we need golfers, sponsors, and if your company can help with either advertising, donations or products for give-aways, let me know as soon as you can.



The Fore! PRIDE Golf Classic is held every year for Stonewall Columbus, Central Ohio's GLBT center, to raise money for activities to support family members and friends of the GLBT community. The money raised is used for education, awareness, hotlines and similar useful activities. Be sure to check them out at www.stonewallcolumbus.org



In a couple of months, the website will contain information on how to register and pay for the Fore! PRIDE Golf Classic on-line. However, if you know that you'll be participating, please contact me as soon as you can so I can reserve a place for you, your twosome, or your foursome as slots will quickly fill.



If you aren't a golfer, but would like to participate, we have a need for sponsors to help defer some of the costs for advertising, food, prizes, etc. Additionally, we always need about 20 volunteers to make the event as spectacular as it can be! Contact me and I will get you pointed in the right direction. For those wishing to sponsor, we have some special things for you! Many of you already participate in the Lavender Listings as well and we welcome the opportunity for you to join with Stonewall Columbus and gain even more attention for your business through support of the month-long events coming up. Every Saturday and Sunday in June is packed with activities, there is something for everyone to enjoy!



So… mark your calendar for the Fore! PRIDE Golf Classic, contact me if you know for sure if you will be bringing a team to the event and have a terrific day!



Warmest Regards,



Phil Anderson, PMP

Map of Ireland, Stephanie Grant, Lambda Fiction

In 1974, when Ann Ahern begins her junior year of high school, South Boston is in crisis — Catholic mothers are blockading buses to keep Black children from the public schools, and teenagers are raising havoc in the streets. Ann, an outsider in her own Irish-American community, is infatuated with her beautiful French teacher, Mademoiselle Eugénie, who hails from Paris but is of African descent. Spurred by her adoration for Eugénie, Ann embarks on a journey that leads her beyond South Boston, through the fringes of the Black Power movement, toward love, and ultimately to the truth about herself. In this ambitious and arresting novel, Stephanie Grant's searing prose, powerful storytelling, and richly drawn characters bring tumultuous moment in American history into perfect focus.

Review:

"Stephanie Grant's fast-paced but beautifully turned new novel brings to troubled life once more the South Boston of the 1970s. It also brings to life Ann Ahern, a bright, wisecracking teenager who is part Huck Finn and part Holden Caulfield — as well as a maturing young woman with sexual longings for certain people who are both the 'wrong' race and the 'wrong' gender. Ann's freckled face, she's told, is a map of Ireland — but it's also a mask that Stephanie Grant strips to reveal a funny, sad, deeply sympathetic character." — Mary Jo Salter, author of Open Shutters and Sunday Skaters

Akron PFLAG meeting
Date: June 17, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

The Other Side of Paradise, Staceyann Chin

Scribner, $24, hardcover, 276 pp.
Reviewed by Rigoberto Gonzalez
Spoken word artist and political activist Staceyann Chin lowers her voice a few decibels to deliver a surprisingly quiet and touching memoir about growing up in Jamaica in the 70s and 80s. Though she’s born in the small town of Lottery and lives out her adolescence in the town of Paradise, Chin’s early years are far from lucky or idyllic. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, Chin and her older brother are raised by their maternal grandmother in an impoverished neighborhood. But even in a place that has witnessed more shameful tragedies, Chin is immediately cast as an outsider because of her light skin—evidence of a foreign, non-black paternity. Her status as a “white girl” elicits everything from admiration to envy, but such perceived privilege is not enough to spare her the grief of feeling like an unwanted child.

Chin’s grandmother, in an attempt to place her charges in better homes, establishes a series of arrangements with extended family members, but each time, Chin’s outspokenness and non-complacent behavior manages to sever those precarious ties. To complicate matters, Chin begins to blossom into a young woman, and so she begins to understand the dangers of her beauty and sex within a social structure that forced her grandmother to endure an abusive marriage and that most likely left Chin’s mother no choice but to exploit her own body in order to leave the poverty she was born into. Such a fate awaited Chin were it not for her grandmother’s constant encouragement and Chin’s will to better herself through an education. Chin’s tenacity and independent thinking, qualities that labeled her a troublemaker in many of her early foster homes, are what eventually allows her to move beyond being “the daughter of the Chinaman who owns the furniture store down the street” to become the pride of Paradise.

Written with plenty of sharp dialogue and little sentimentality, The Other Side of Paradise is a captivating portrait of an artist as a young woman. Chin reconstructs the details of each home and heartbreak with meticulous detail, which is why it’s disappointing that her post-Jamaica period in New York City as an out lesbian (a narrative thread that begins on page 240) comes across as summarized and without substance. Indeed, Chin’s adult years, despite her coming into fame and success, are not as engaging a read as the memories of her youth. The book, to its credit, does steer clear of the more conventional coming out and immigrant stories, but the exploration of sexuality—a theme that Chin explores with complexity in her performances—seems oddly absent here. Nonetheless, this memoir is a rich, inspirational story that will allow her fans a more intimate look into the humble beginnings of a woman who was once a poor girl determined to have her voice heard.

Akron PFLAG meeting
Date: July 15, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Ink & Ambition: A 20 Year Retrospective
Date: July 16, 2010
Time: Untimed event
TransOhio along with Equality Ohio, The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland and the Inferno nightclub have come together to sponsor an exciting event on July 16th at the University of Akron. Artist Dennis Crabapple McClain, born in Akron as Dennis Cramer, has come out as transgender and will be coming out to the art community at this event as Justine Mara Andersen.
The exciting thing about this show is it features internationally published work from such clients as DC Comics, Image Comics, WOTC's Dungeons and Dragons (including some "Dragonlance" as well as some "Sword Of Shannara" illustrations), Lucasfilm, MARA comics, and much more. Justine, as Dennis, had a long and distinguished career in science fiction, fantasy, and comics. And now Justine/Dennis is finally showing as part of the transgender community and coming fully out in this public event.

Justine Mara Andersen (aka Dennis Crabapple McClain) studied under the tutelage of such comic book greats as P. Craig Russell and Val Mayerik. At The University of Akron, she honed her artistic focus and introduced digital elements into her work. She exceeded her own expectations to eventually draw for LucasFilm Publications, giving life to such “Star Wars” characters as the Max Rebo band and creatures from Jabba the Hutt’s palace.
Throughout these commercial endeavors, Andersen (Crabapple) remained true to her artistic focus. She explains that she “look[s] for the four aspects of our humanity…in some sort of balance. Does the work show a balance of heart, soul, physicality and emotion?” Andersen’s (Crabapple’s) artistic creation Mara, a long-term labor of love, embodies this balance and will be prominently displayed at the Emily Davis Gallery.
"Something I’ve always loved and respected about art is that it’s really another mode of expression and communication. It’s a different form of connecting with people. I think that when it comes to expressing one’s gender identity – sometimes words aren’t enough. The visual evokes the senses differently, a story or experience, or color as emotion. Justine’s work does just that and I think that stepping out and showing her work publicly will provide an opportunity for people to learn about what makes her tick, her experiences in life, love and in pursuit of finding out who she is" says Shane Morgan, Founder and Chair of TransOhio.
Justine Mara Andersen - The Barefoot Girl - (aka Dennis Crabapple McClain) will be holding a special opening and lecture for the LGBT community as part of her show "Ink and Ambition," a twenty year retrospective of her work (as Dennis Crabapple McClain) at the University of Akron's Folk Hall in the Emily Davis Gallery on July 16th from 6:00 to 8:30. A lecture on erotic art and transgender issues will be given at 7:00, the focus being on her work and her creation, MARA, a highly unusual and personal erotic comic.

The event will be fully catered, full of hundreds of published illustrations, and treated as any major university opening. As part of the show Justine will be showing art and illustration from many of her influences, including original art from the Simpsons, Bambi, Berni Wrightson, the trail-blazing trans artist Jeffrey Jones, and many other famous and influential fantasy and comic book artists.

This show is not only of interest to members of the LGBT community, but also to anyone who has any interest in comics, fantasy, gaming, and illustration.

Please join TransOhio, Equality Ohio, The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland and the Inferno nightclub for a wonderful night of art and expression. An after party will be held at the Inferno nightclub on Arlington Road.

Due to the adult nature of the art no one under the age of 18 will be allowed entrance to the event.

3rd Annual Transgender and Ally Symposium
Date: August 13, 2010
Time: Untimed event
We're thrilled to announce that our Keynote Speaker for the 3rd Annual TransOhio Transgender & Ally Symposium is Queer author and performer, S. Bear Bergman! This year, the symposium will be held August 13-15, 2010 and is shaping up to be the coolest place to be during the hot and humid Midwest Summer!



S. Bear Bergman is a writer, theater artist, instigator and gender-jammer, S. Bear Bergman. Bear is also a good example of what happens when you overeducate a contrarian. Ze is also the author of The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2009) and Butch Is a Noun (Suspect Thoughts Press, 2006) and three award-winning solo performances, as well as a frequent contributor to anthologies on all manner of topics.

Bear is also a frequent lecturer and at colleges and universities, regarding issues relating to gender and sexuality, and has advised the staff of numerous institutions on their policies regarding transgendered and transsexual students. An observant Jew, Bear also speaks extensively about how hir religious and cultural lives have shaped one another, and the intersection of identities, especially as it relates to being both Jewish and queer.

A longtime activist on behalf of anyone who wants to learn and be different at the same time (particularly queer/trans youth and students), Bear continues to tour and lecture about topics close to hir heart, pausing frequently to encourage and admire youth activists. Less recently, ze was also one of the five original founders of the first Gay/Straight Alliances, a frequent lecturer at high schools and colleges on the subject of making schools safe for GLBT students, and a founding commission member of the Massachusetts Safe Schools Project. Bear also considers hir recent mastery of East Coast Swing a notable achievement, but is aware that probably not everyone agrees.

Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Film Tour - "Fish Out Of Water"
Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 8:00pm
FISH OUT OF WATER

A documentary film that explores the impassioned relationship between homosexuality and the Bible

Saturday, October 9, 2010 * 8:00 p.m.

@ Cross Creek Community Church

Sponsored by EQUALITY OHIO.

Co-Sponsored by Cross Creek Community Church and PFLAG Dayton Chapter

You might think you know where the Bible stands on the subject of homosexuality, but when was the last time you actually checked? In the spirited documentary Fish out of Water, filmmaker Ky Dickens explores the seven Bible passages notoriously used to condemn homosexuality and justify marriage discrimination. With the help of a cartoon narrator, animated recollections of Bible passages and witty illustrations, Fish out of Water makes this polarizing subject accessible and non‐threatening. The film begins with an animated recollection of the fallout at Vanderbilt University when the film’s director came out to her sorority sisters. Their rabid rejection sparks her search for Biblebased condemnation. Crisscrossing America and listening to the country’s impassioned speech

on this divisive issue, she speaks with ministers of all denominations, recording the experiences of the oppressed and the justifications of the oppressors. Covering over twenty states and capturing the gay community’s devastation immediately after the 2008 vote on Proposition 8, Fish out of Water presents the hyper‐relevance of this old issue with concern, humor and creativity. Golden‐Globe nominated composer Kaki King (Into the Wild) delivers an original score that flows effortlessly through the film’s diverse elements. For more info go to:

Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Date: November 18, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.

Akron PFLAG meeting
Date: December 16, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Time: 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month Location: North Springfield Presbyterian Church, 671 Canton Road, at Albrecht Avenue in Akron (Ellet neighborhood). Website: www.pflagakron.org If you have a gay child, family members or friend, you are not alone. We invite you to attend our confidential, monthly support meetings where you can obtain information about your loved one’s sexual orientation while dealing with your own feelings in a warm, confidential and supportive atmosphere. By meeting gay people, parents and family members come to realize that homosexuality is found in every ethnic and socioeconomic group. Even more importantly, they learn that stereotypical views of homosexuality have no place or validity with this group that represents a significant percentage of the world’s population. Meetings are loosely structured and new participants are not obligated to share or speak. Just listening and attending can be a learning experience.
