T R A P P E D Confused Longing Alone “There’s no exit anywhere” if I strip down and the world around me explodes I’m left to “see me.” Only Me T R A P P E D It was idol exploration during a time of boredom when I discovered my sexuality. Sitting alone in my living room virtually wandering while all were away. Click – Click – Click Alone. Click – Click – Click Playing. Exploring. Click – Click – Click Traveling to places a young teen should avoid. Click – Click – Click Exposed Seeing Consuming Discovering images that I did not know where possible. Click – Click – Click In a fantasy world, I found my sexuality. Intriguing Raw Uncensored Click – Click – Click “Moonstruck and naked I declare, ‘No, this ain’t no Neverland, Narnia, Wonderland, Oz’” Click – Click – Click WHO AM I SCRIPT 3 Christopher: I do not remember what brought me to those first websites on my AOL Internet browser, but I know I was left to discover, explore, and accept/deny my sexuality on my own. When I was a young teen, there was no Will and Grace. Ellen was pretending to be straight on screen. Rosie O’Donnell and Neil Patrick Harris were still ambiguously non-sexual. I had no role models to tell me that gay was okay. In my world, gay was non-existent. The media was silent in my sheltered suburban society. So, when I stumbled across gay pornography on the Internet one night, my whole world turned upside down. Everything I knew about relationships was challenged when I realized two boys could connect sexually. I was left to my own devices to talk to other gays in the form of disembodied screen names from AOL chat rooms and message boards. I learned at a very young age to live a double life: a gay life that was manifested on the Internet, and a straight normative life in which I avoided all references to sexuality. I felt very lonely as I started high school. My virtual life gave me some connection to others, but humans crave face-to-face interactions. Began to find love and camaraderie in God and faith. I never heard anyone talk negatively in my church about two boys who loved each other. But then again, I never heard anyone talk about it at all. One day, I wanted to let them know who I really was. I decided to come out. WHO AM I SCRIPT 4 Epiphany from Altar Boyz by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker “I look into your eyes, and I see the pain you hold inside. Aren’t tired of the lies you tell so you can hide? You won’t truly be you until you can say, ‘I …. Am….’” I am what? Pretending – Genuine Unaware Alone – Surrounded Unaware of the pain Certain – Confused Unaware of the hatred Hiding – Exposed Unaware of the struggle the heartache the prejudice uncertainty incompatibility The binaries became more prominent. The more I love God, The more I hate my sexuality. Right and wrong Sin and piety Christian and gay You know God wants more for you than that. Of course I do. You know he has a wife picked out just for you. Of course He does. I won’t ever give up on you. Of course you won’t. Of course. Of course. Of course. No longer alone The love of people replacing the disembodied texts “I am a [Christian] Gay. Yes I am. God doesn’t make mistakes, and he made me. Let out what you’ve trapped inside. Come on and show your [Christian] Gay pride. That is how we were meant to be.” Christopher: But living a double life is no easy way to live. The acceptance of my faith led to the questioning of my sexuality. The words of Jesus rang loudly in my ears, “No one can serve two masters.” For years, I suppressed my feelings towards other men. I tried dating a few women, but those situations always ended up with me hurting their WHO AM I SCRIPT 5 feelings after the first date. When I finally accepted my sexuality, I questioned my faith. Role of a Lifetime from Bare: A Pop Opera by Jon Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo “You learn to play the straight man Your lines become routine Never really saying what you mean But I know this scene will change . “ Confusion Uncertainty Silence My virtual support group gave way to the “days of silent fear and the nights of lonely prayer.” “God I need your guidance Tell me what it means to live a life where nothing’s as it seems” Suppression Denial Anxiety Live up to the expectations of others. Attain the dream. “White picket fences and a dog, a trophy bride, and children.” But “what happens when the music stops? In the silence, will [I] stay? One day [I may] realize that these feelings aren’t going away” Bending Ending Sending Pretending O-ver ex-ten-ding “Thoughts battle words over deeds A war with such casualties” The denial of my heart’s desire erodes my soul. WHO AM I SCRIPT 6 Christopher: As a devout Christian, who worked at a Christian school, lead Christian worship, and had plenty of Christian friends, I prayed day after day that God would take away my attraction towards other men. Guilt and shame overshadowed my search for piety and holiness. The struggle made me feel like I was taking spiritual steps downward into the abyss of hell. Yet as I accepted who I was, I questioned if my faith and my sexuality were really that compatible. The scales that weighed my ties to these two masters eventually tipped. I walked away from my faith and found serenity in accepting myself as a gay man. I accepted myself as a gay performer. I accepted myself as a gay educator. But I struggled to find my voice as a gay researcher. One day I met a fellow music education graduate student who identified as a queer woman. We had many things in common including a fear of pursuing LGBTQ issues in academia because we did not want to be known as “gay researchers.” But being around her and others like us made me realize I was no longer alone. I found a community of gay researchers, musicians, and educators who told stories that were similar to my experiences. I slowly realized how much I stifled my own voice. I had to ask myself: Who am I? What am I? What voice do I want to present to others? I had to come to grips with who and what I am. WHO AM I SCRIPT 7 I Am What I Am from La Cage aux Folles by Jerry Herman What . am . I? The blue caterpillar would have a field day with this. What . am . I? No one ever told me what I am. What . am . I? “I bang my own drum . I deal my own deck.” My “life is a sham.” Searching Seeking Finding “It’s my world that I want to take a little pride in. My world, and it’s not a place I have to hide in.” What . am . I? I am musician – educator – researcher. “I am what I am.” I’m a researcher. I’m a gay researcher. I’m a gay researcher who writes about gay issues. I hate coming out. I do not like labels. Telling people that I am gay terrifies me. To get up in front of a room of strangers and talk about my sexuality is very strange indeed. The lyrics from this song have become a mantra for me. “I am what I am.” I used to believe that gay research would trump the rest of my work. When writing, I sought to minimize my own personal voice so that the voice of an academic author could shine through. However, I have begun to understand how my voice is part of my work, whether I am writing about LGBTQ issues or not. It is my voice. It is who I am. What . am . I? “Your life is a sham till you can shout out loud, ‘I am what I am.’” WHO AM I SCRIPT 8 Christopher: While coming to terms with myself as a gay researcher was a slow, arduous process, I longed to portray gay characters on stage. It started when I was 16 years old, and my cousin invited me to see Rent, my first Broadway musical. We arrived at the theater at 6AM, and we waited and waited and waited.

  • 1-24-21 Sermon
    1-24-21 "The Trouble with Mercy" Jonah 3:1-5, 10; 4:1-5 Central Christian Church David A. Shirey The reading began with the words, “The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying, “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” If this is the “second time” God instructed Jonah to go to Ninevah, what happened the first time? Well, the first time is at the beginning of Chapter 1 when God says, “Arise, go to Ninevah.. and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me” (Jonah 1:1, 2). “Go to Ninevah,” God says. Ninevah—capitol city of Assyria. Assyria, the nation that destroyed Israel in 721 B.C. Assyria, the nation that then subjugated and oppressed the southern kingdom of Judah for almost 100 years. Assyria: present-day Iraq. The book of Jonah begins with a prophet called up for duty—drafted to serve in the Persian Gulf as a missionary to his nation’s bitterest foe. Well, Jonah was a draft-dodger. He said, “Go to Ninevah? Nothin’ doin’!” and rather than heading north to Canada, he fled west toward Tarshish. Ninevah was due east by land. Jonah sailed due west by sea. Caught the first ship out of Joppa the next morning and went AWOL from the Lord’s command. Tarshish, many scholars believe, was a coastal city in Spain. Think Acapulco. Maui. Shangri-la. In other words, a much more preferable place to serve God than Ninevah.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES E RNEST GLEN WEVER 1902—1991 A Biographical Memoir by J A C K VERNON Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1997 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. ERNEST GLEN WEVER October 16, 1902–September 4, 1991 BY JACK VERNON E WERE DRIVING from Princeton, N.J., to Hibernia, N.␣ J., Wwhen I asked Glen Wever, “What do we know about hearing in bats?” He answered, “About all we know is what Donald Griffin has written; that is, they detect and catch their prey by echo location, a term invented by Griffin. We really know nothing about their hearing ability except that it must be amazing; after all, they do with their ears what the rest of us do with our eyes.” This conversation took place over forty years ago. Glen Wever and I were driving to Hibernia to try to lo- cate an abandoned zinc mine that we had heard was the home of hibernating bats. We were on a bat-collecting trip, the first of many to follow, from which we hoped to acquire some bats (Myotis Lucifugus, as it turned out) for experi- mental purposes. We planned to record the AC cochlear potentials from the bats’ inner ears, which, at that time, had never been done. A filling-station attendant in Hibernia directed us to the zinc mine, where we found the entrance blocked with a heavy steel plate and a sign that read “KEEP OUT.” Left to my own devices, I think I would have obeyed the sign, but Glen said, “I think we can just manage to crawl 371 372 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS under that barricade.” We proceeded to do just that.

  • Book, Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown the Last Five Years Is Presented Through Special Arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI)
    The Last Five Years Book, Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown The Last Five Years is presented through special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019, www.MTIShows.com Book, Music and Lyrics by JASON ROBERT BROWN Director’s Note They say, “there are two sides to every story” and in the case of The Last Five Years, “they” couldn’t be more right! We all have our own story, our own goals, our own experiences, that we carry with us throughout our lives. When two lives come together in a relationship, often with different societal parameters of what love is, how relationships should be, and countless other expectations, the relationship is no longer living in each moment, but rather moving from one expectation to the next. The characters of Jamie and Cathy continually remind us of the dangers that expectation can have on, not just romantic, but all variations of human relationships. I chose to produce The Last Five Years because this musical so brilliantly portrays the intimate and often hidden moments that make up a relationship; making it unmistakably familiar to audiences who have experienced the trials of love and loss. Vulnerably told through Jason Robert Brown’s soaring melodies and tight, witty lyrics, The Last Five Years tells the very human story of the struggles we face when we commit ourselves to blind love. Brown wrote this piece after concluding his own five-year marriage, influencing him to create a unique and dynamic form of storytelling; having the show begin at the end of the relationship for Cathy and the beginning for Jamie.
