I’m embarking on a new one-man comedy show geared toward gay men. I’m calling out to every gay man for input. This is a show for gay men by gay men.

I’m designing this show for one simple reason: I want to speak to gay men about what we’ve gone through in our lives.

This is not about discrimination or exclusion. This is not about starting a he-man/women-haters club. This is not about us being better than straight people (even though we totally are). This is about empowering ourselves as brothers.

A Lasting Relationship

By Amy Stinnett

Happy 30 Year Anniversary, Renee and Diane!!!

In 1979, two young women (21 and 25) working as nursing aides at St. Benedict’s Hospital in Jerome, Idaho, first became best friends, then inseparable support to each other. Then they found themselves in love with each other. In early 1980, they finally had “That Talk” and now identify Wednesday, January 23rd, 1980 as the official beginning of that 30 year relationship. Even though she was married with a 1 ½ yr old son, Diane Tipton came out to Renee McCall, who was also married. Surprising to them, their coworkers at St. Ben’s were very supportive as they gently teased them about their obvious love for each other.

Editors Note - February 2010 PDF Print E-mail

As many recent newspaper editorials have pointed out, this decade ain’t over yet. I think maybe that’s one reason this January feels more like 2009 Part II than a brand spanking New Year. Another may be that so many of the main issues last year (war, economy, human rights initiatives, and celebrity crises) went unresolved or were resolved in such an underwhelming manner that we don’t know where to go from here. I guess the only way to go is forward, so here’s a little of what is going on locally.

As we are getting ready to say goodbye to 2009, we find a prime opportunity to look back at the year’s events.  January started out very hopeful with the inauguration of a president who seemed to finally respect human rights.  Although there is much criticism bandied about on President Obama’s actions towards LGBT rights, there is no disputing the historic nature of a president who not only mentions LGBT concerns on a regular basis, but who also has held (and will likely continue to hold) meetings and events that include LGBT activists in the national conversation.
