April Movie Review
Written by Leon Velasco

Pageant

Director: Ron Davis

&

Stewart Halpern 

 

Rating: Two Thumbs Up 

I was very caught up in the illusions these men transform into when doing “Female Impersonating” (doing drag), in a competition for the crown and title of Miss. Gay America. I thought when I competed for titles here in Fresno was stressful as well as time and money consuming, running for this title is almost the cost of a down payment on a house and a car and raising a child for one year. PHEW! I had better work the streets now just to earn enough to compete in twenty years. 

PAGEANT takes you behind the scenes as 52 ordinary gentlemen go to extraordinary lengths to be crowned Miss Gay America. The contest celebrates the art of illusion, so enhancements such as hormones are forbidden. Instead, the men work their magic by using make-up and costumes, and performing stunning musical numbers. PAGEANT follows five of the most talented and beautiful female impersonators, and reveals their hopes, dreams and amazing talents.

April Book Review

Drag Queen in the Court of Death  

Author : Caro Soles

Rating: One Thumb Up- One Down

For a murder mystery I thought that it would be a great read. It reads as if a high school student wrote it. It has a simple formulated plot. Not many characters and not very many different scenarios. For a book that had received many awards, I was sure it was going to be more elaborate, but it wasn’t very complicated to follow. I thank god this book was given to me; I would have been more disappointed had I bought it. If you need a book just to pass the time like at the DMV or the line for paying a traffic ticket at the court house, then this would be the book. 

While cleaning out is ex-lover Ronnie’s apartment, staid history professor Michael Dunn-Barten makes a grisly discovery- a mummified corpse in a trunk. Suddenly Michael must travel back 25 years to find the answers by revisiting everyone who knew Ronnie. Back to the 1960’s, back to the realization of his sexuality and the boy he loved. Back to the troubling time when his wife threw him out and his family disowned him. Back to uncover disturbing answers amidst drag queens and murky memories- and to reveal whether or not his first real love was truly a twisted killer. DRAG QUEEN in the COURT of Death is a taut thriller about a man who needs to face his past in order to forge a future. He must unravel a mystery that’s a quarter century old- no matter how painful the truth may be

--“A First Rate Mystery…A great read and well worth a special trip to the bookstore.” -- Mark Zubro, author of the Tom and Scott mystery series  

--“A Seductive Blend of Camp Humor , Pathos, and Anticipation”–Anthony Bidulka, author of Russell Quant mystery series  

--“Be Prepared to Clear Your Schedule for a Few Days…This is one of Those Books That Once Begun, Can’t Be Put Down”

–Marcy Scheiner, author of Sex for the Clueless & Perfectly Normal: A Mother’s Memoir

A letter from Carl's mother
Written by Brooke   
Tuesday, 06 April 2010

Dear Members of the 111th Congress,

 

Meet my son, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover.

 

On April 6, 2009, Carl chose to end his own life rather than endure more of the daily harassment and bullying he suffered at school. He was just 11 days shy of his 12th birthday.

 

I am writing you today because my son's story must not be forgotten. I want you and other Members of Congress to look at Carl's photograph and ask, "How could such a beautiful, precious life be lost so needlessly," and "What can Congress do to prevent more such tragedies from happening in the future?"

To read the rest of the letter and sign the petition CLICK HERE.

Gay Religious Author
Written by Hope   
Friday, 26 March 2010

Recently I traveled to Berkeley to hear a speaker covering "Reconciliation & The Bible".
He, Joseph Pearson, an author, lecturer and retired Pastor is versed in both Hebrew and Greek (possessing a PHD in linguistics) and Theology & Biology.

Okay, the dude spent some years in school. And oh, he is openly gay and in a long-time loving relationship of 34 years. Imagine that, he was able to "retire" as a Pastor of a Baptist Church, not be asked to leave but Retire....

He tore apart the Old Testament (Torah) and the New Testament (Gospel), honing in on the scriptures we are all too familiar with.

No not the ones that focus on how we are all loved but in ............you know, those ones...

The workshop was comforting and lifting. There were about 25-30 present with 4 (Scott and I included) coming from the PFLAG (ally) camp. Most in attendance were LGBT+ people in search of reconciliation and peace.

Come beginning May, I will be traveling to Irvine to see him again while attending a T.E.N. (The Evangelical Network) seminar. This seminar is a CA regional effort to continue opening up the dialogue among clergy, faith groups and people.......... covering LGBT+ reconciliation.

I am also talking with T.E.N. (who sponsors Pearsons tours) to underwrite a visit here. Thats right, bring J. Pearson here to speak in 2 workshops. One to target local clergy and the other to members of the LGBT community that want to ask questions and get answers!

I am interested in having you guys email me any comments, suggestions, worries ... etc. about having Pearson come. I am hoping to be able to provide community feedback to T.E.N. and Pearson on what the community here needs (or precursory thoughts are) in the workshop.

I do not know for sure that Pearson will come. We are entertaining his visit to be sometime late July to early August. Please email me any comments and such to... scottandhope@sbcglobal.net.

Make our youth visible
Written by Brooke   
Tuesday, 16 March 2010

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Trevor Project,
 
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth—and adults—are virtually invisible in the federal government’s eyes. You and I know we exist, but they really do not as no federal health and demographic surveys collect data on sexual orientation or gender identity.  Until they do, we’re missing out on research, programming, funding, and advocacy opportunities. 
 
Please see the action alert below from our partners at the National Coalition for LGBT Health.  Increasing the visibility of our underserved population is a top advocacy priority for The Trevor Project, so I hope that you can take a few minutes to call your representative and ensure the addition of a question about sexual orientation and gender identity onto the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the federal government's most comprehensive and influential survey.
 
To find out more about our data collection work through the New Beginning Initiative, visit http://www.thetaskforce.org/newadmin/newbeginning_intro.html
 
All my best, and please let me know once you’ve called so I can let our partners know about our impact.  DISTRIBUTE WIDELY.
