[sws_yellow_box box_size=”100″] Discuss _Queers Dig Time Lords_ with Jason Tucker & the NCG! Event for North Country Gaylaxians [/sws_yellow_box]
Our next discussion will be April 8: Queers Dig Time Lords
From Amazon.com: In Queers Dig Time Lords, editors Sigrid Ellis (Chicks Dig Comics) and Michael Damian Thomas (Apex Magazine) bring together essays by award-winning writers to celebrate the phenomenon that is Doctor Who, in the tradition of the Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig Time Lords.
Tanya Huff (“Bi, Bye”) wears bi-focals as she analyzes the Doctor’s fluid sexuality, former Doctor Who script editor Gary Russell explores the show’s effect on his teenage years, Paul Magrs (“The Monster Queer is Camp”) defends and celebrates the series camp qualities, and Melissa Scott (“Long Time Companions”) describes Who’s impact on her greatest love and loss.
We will be joined by contributing essayist Jason Stormageddon Tucker(“Nice TARDIS”) for the discussion–Jason talks about how he not only had to come out of the closet, but also out of the TARDIS, to find acceptance, love, friendship, and all those good things. He found not only a boyfriend, but also himself.

[sws_yellow_box box_size=”100″] R.W. Holmen presents Queer Clergy: A History of Gay and Lesbian Ministry in American Protestantism [/sws_yellow_box]
Does LGBT movement history matter?
Contrary to the popular image of Christian churches as gay-bashing homophobes—an image fostered by self-appointed spokesmen and microphone-grabbing evangelicals—progressive Protestantdenominations ordain gays and lesbians and celebrate LGBT weddings, but it hasn’t always been so. In the last decade, the principal mainline denominations—the Lutherans, the Presbyterians, the Episcopalians, and earlier the United Church of Christ—have adopted inclusive policies that have reversed long-standing exclusions that barred gays and lesbians from the pulpit and restricted clergy and congregations from celebrating covenant services of blessing and now marriage ceremonies.
How did we get to this time and place? What paths did early pilgrims follow to lead the way out of the wilderness? How did the United Church of Christ arrive at a place of welcome a generation before sister denominations? Why do the Methodists lag behind?
“I have been thinking a lot these days of our lesbian, gay, and bisexual sisters and brothers and supporters who have gone before us to bring us to this time and place. I wish that I knew more of their names. I wish I knew more of their stories.” – Susan Kraemer, More Light Update
Queer Clergy: A History of Gay and Lesbian Ministry in American Protestantism names the names and remembers the stories as it chronicles the journey of gay and lesbian Christians seeking the blessing of their church.
