To the
Salvation Army. |
Give
Salvation Army a Message - Not Money
Before you
throw your change in that little red kettle,
consider the Salvation Army's view of you
or that of your GLBT loved one:
Read the
Salvation Army's not-so-enlightened
statement on homosexuality.
Upsetting?
Yes. Can you do anything to
respond?
YES! |

Play:
"Milk, Milk Lemonade"
Emory
is an effeminate 11-year-old boy who lives
on a farm with his chain smoking Nanna and
his only friend, a depressed chicken about
to be processed. Nanna wishes Emory would
get his head out of the clouds, stop
choreographing ribbon stick dance numbers,
and be more like Elliot, the boy down the
road with a penchant for burning things. But
Emory and Elliot have a relationship -- just
not one Nanna would expect or approve of. |

HSGP & FFRF present:
What I Learned at Straight Camp
Starting in 2007, straight writer Ted Cox
went undercover in Christian gay-to-straight
therapy programs. He attended weekly support
group meetings, conferences, and a 48-hour
intensive retreat. His talk, which covers
those experiences and examines the motives
and background of the ex-gay movement,
includes videos, music, audience singing,
and a live demonstration of "healing touch"
therapy. |
