    Shores, Del (b. 1957) Del Shores in 2007. Photograph by by Linda Rapp Rosemary Alexander. Image courtesy delshores.net. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Del Shores has used playwriting as a means to explore the intersection of Southern culture and glbtq culture with both empathy and humor. As a screenwriter, he has worked on numerous television series and also adapted several of his plays as feature films. In addition, he has been active in championing equal rights, particularly standing against California Proposition 8, which repealed marriage equality in 2008. Delford Lynn Shores comes from a devout Southern Baptist family. His father, William Shores, was a minister in the church, as is his brother. Shores was born December 3, 1957 in Winters, Texas, the town that would be the model for the setting of most of his plays. As a young man, his goal was to become an actor, and so he moved to Los Angeles in 1980. True to his roots, he quickly became a member and a Sunday school teacher at the First Baptist Church of Beverly Hills, a somewhat misnamed house of worship that is just across the city line in the gay enclave of West Hollywood. The minister at First Baptist eventually questioned him about his sexual orientation, but Shores, who had felt homosexual yearnings but had been taught that being gay was a choice--and a wrong one--assured him that, as he truly believed at the time, he was straight. Shores found some work as an actor but also began exploring writing.

  • 6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans Across the Country
    6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans across the country prepare to elect a new President and Congress, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture – two organizations that strongly support creative communities by working to protect creativity and encourage respect for copyright law – have partnered on letters (attached here) and a Change.org petition, to ensure that the views of the creative communities are heard. Signed by over 35,000 creatives, audience members, fans, and consumers, the letters recognize that the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, but also stress the need for a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue, but rather one that benefits our entire country. The letters and petition discuss the complementary relationship between a strong copyright system, free expression, creativity, innovation, and technology. The signers affirmed: • We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for creative industries and the world at large. • We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. • We proudly assert that copyright promotes and protects free speech. • Copyright should allow creative communities to safeguard their rights against those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. • Creative communities must be part of the conversation and stand up for creativity. Sincerely, Ruth Vitale Keith Kupferschmid CEO, CreativeFuture CEO, Copyright Alliance Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates We are members of the creative community. While our political views are diverse, as creatives, there are core principles on which we can all agree.
