The best times growing up were at my dad’s cabin on 100 acres in Vermont, where we spent every summer. We had woods, we had wetlands, we had a pond for swimming and a stream we could wander along all day till we got to (what we perceived to be) a large waterfall. My parents, especially my father, believed in raising free were tough.

  • Toscano, Peterson
    Published by Western Friend Online (2017) Everything is Connected by Peter Toscano July 27, 2017, North Pacific Yearly Meeting How many of you have ever seen me present something live? Raise your hand. All right! We’ve got some faithful folk here. So, for those who have never seen me perform, it is almost impossible for me to describe what I do. I am a comic, a storyteller, an actor, and at different points, I will become a different person. Don't let that disturb you or surprise you. I am a character actor, so I take on lots of different characters and personalities on stage. I'm also a scholar, and often in my work I'll leave in lots of scholarship around gender studies and Biblical studies, climate change, lots of different things. The presentation I have for you today is: "Everything is Connected." And my brain works in very strange ways. Some of you may probably relate to this – I'll see connections among things that a lot of people aren't seeing as connected. So it takes a while for me to explain it to you. So, to help organize this presentation, I broke it into three acts. So it will be three distinct acts that will seem at first to have absolutely nothing to do with each other. And each act will have a title and each act will have an essential question, or query, as we like to call it. So I'm going to start and get personal with: Act One: Homo NoMo So I am gay, which used to be very exotic to say in front of a group back in the day, and it was dangerous, there was real danger.

Linsky Anisa Mohanty Sam C. Neel Mike Stanek Paul Thompson October 12, 2018 © 2018 The Mattachine Society of Washington, DC Executive Summary The Mattachine Society of Washington, DC (“MSDC”) is a non-profit, non-partisan research and educational society that conducts original archival research at the National Archives, U.S. presidential libraries, the Library of Congress, the FOIA Library of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Stonewall National Museum and Archives, and other private and public repositories across the country. The mission of the MSDC is to uncover the often-deleted political histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) Americans who faced persecution and discrimination at the hands of federal and state governments for nearly seventy years. The MSDC is dedicated to educating the public about this forgotten, deleted and untold history and, in turn, to achieving full civil equality for LGBT Americans through its “archive activism.” Founded in 1961 by gay civil rights pioneer, Dr. Franklin Kameny (“Kameny”), the original MSDC was the first gay civil rights organization in Washington, DC. Today, the MSDC continues this important work at the direction of its officers, Charles Francis and Pate Felts, in partnership with its pro bono legal counsel, the international law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP (“McDermott” and collectively, the “team”).

  • Presidential Task Force Strategic Plan for LGBTQIA Inclusion Executive Summary of Updated Progress
    Presidential Task Force Strategic Plan for LGBTQIA Inclusion Executive Summary of Updated Progress This executive summary highlights the 3 years of progress achieved as a result of the 3-year Institutional Strategic Plan for LGBTQIA Inclusion created in May 2014 by the 14 student, faculty, staff, and alumni members of the 2013-2014 Presidential LGBTQIA Task Force, appointed by Elon University President, Dr. Leo M. Lambert. The Task Force Report was divided into 4 key goal areas (Support, Welcome, Educate, Communicate) and then distributed campus-wide via the FacStaff email list. Upon completion of the LGBTQIA Task Force’s charge to create the report, a new team of students, faculty, staff, and alumni was created to help carry out many of the goals and sub-strategies: The LGBTQIA Implementation & Assessment Team. This team’s membership rotated each year to balance continuity of existing membership with fresh, new perspectives. Successes resulting from the report include student contributions via research, leadership, and activism, a high national ranking on the Campus Pride Index for LGBTQIA Inclusion, increasing the number of academic courses with a primary or ancillary focus on gender and sexuality, advancing the Women’s, Gender, and Sexualities Studies program, and the creation of education and collaborations across new and existing LGBTQIA-related groups at the university and in the local community. Moving forward, the LGBTQIA Implementation & Assessment Team has moved into an LGBTQIA Advisory Committee format, once again with rotating membership to keep continuity and allow newer perspectives. We have a few areas to carry forward for consideration by the new advisory group including professional & faculty development, sustainability and capacity efforts, ongoing assessment and outreach, and communication of needs and successes.

This selective book list indicates the large number and wide range of published viewpoints available to lesbians and gay men interested in exploring their lives as spiritual journeys. The bibliography lists author, title, publisher, and date of publication. One should refer to publishers or book suppliers for content summaries, reader’s reviews, available formats, pricing and ordering information. Specifically excluded from the list of published resources are: novels and poetry; items written in languages other than English; brochures, study guides, and tracts; articles in periodicals; books exclusively addressing the spiritual dimensions of the AIDS epidemic or the experience of living with AIDS; doctrinal statements and position papers about gays and lesbians adopted by religious institutions; and blatantly homophobic treatments of the subject. Some of the books listed were produced by publishers affiliated with religious institutions, and many of the titles listed were not written by lesbians or gay men. Book titles are arranged alphabetically by title within the categories listed below. With a few exceptions, titles are listed in only one of the categories. Because not every title was examined, some titles may be inappropriately categorized, or could be categorized differently. Note: Electronic books are not included. Printed items of less than 50 pages are counted as pamphlets or booklets, and are, generally, not included. A select few of these short items are included and the number of pages is indicated. A book is available from major booksellers when it is added to the list.
