Thank you, Syntaur!

Bilerico Project blogger and PFLAG Director of Communications Steve Ralls was kind enough to use my story as a contrast to the rantings of anti-GLBT Elaine Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness. Elaine is still clinging to the notion that American troops are so delicate and immature that they can’t mentally handle the idea that someone like my friend Reichen or me is fighting beside them.

From the PFLAG blog

Yes, many of you have asked, and yes, it’s true:  You can buy the PFLAG tank top modeled by Calpernia Addams in our new This Is Our Love Story ad campaign.

The PFLAG logo spaghetti tank is available for $17.99 from the PFLAG online store, just by clicking here.  It’s available in Calpernia’s signature pink . . . or in blue, white or yellow.  And proceeds from the sale of the tanks will help write the next chapter in the PFLAG love story. 

So log on now and get your Calpernia Love Story tank top . . . and be part of our love story, too.

The full list of stars who participated in the New Orleans “celebration” included, Oprah Winfrey, Faith Hill, Jessica Alba, Sally Field, Ali Larter, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Hudson, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Rosario Dawson, Julia Stiles, Kerry Washington, Calpernia Addams, and musicians Common, Eve, and Charmaine Neville

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth and father of five children, said it is astonishing that Ensler and her vulgar play are being celebrated given TVM’s past and current promotion of adult predatory behavior against minors: “Imagine if an adult homosexual man were to quiz a six-year-old boy about his penis—or a straight man were to ask a little girl silly questions about her private parts - for use in a play! Would such men be praised by the media and famous personalities?”

Stop the Monologues Project Director Donna Miller, the mother of a teenage girl, said, “I find it horrifying that an author would sexualize a six-year-old girl—particularly when that same author has a record of writing favorably about adult/child sex, at least for lesbians.”

This, from the Catholic Church:

• whose outright active blockage of sex and contraceptive education in Africa could be linked to the devastating spread of HIV there.
• who have historically been responsible for such loving, godly endeavors as The Crusades and The Inquisition (Wikipedia) (YouTube).
• whose own priesthood is responsible for one of the largest pedophilia and sexual abuse scandals in modern history

Tsk tsk.

Jezebel.Com’s nice mention of me at the Vagina Monologues’ 10th Anniversary Performance

The celebrities added an interesting flavor and there were some new monologues that had been introduced since the last time I did the show. After watching the touching monologue “They Beat the Girl Out of My Boy” in homage of the transgender experience, I had to Google one of the performers, Calpernia Addams, and I have found my new favorite time-killing video channel.

Wow, I was thrilled to find out that Margaret Cho is watching Transamerican Love Story, via her MySpace Blog! She is awesome.

I’ll let you read for yourself how it came about that she’s watching the show! Let’s just say we have someone we all know to thank!

Margaret Cho MySpace Blog

Well, I was very flattered to have my little video for the Jer Ber Jones Mix of “Stunning” added to the LogoOnline “Transamerican Love Story” video page! Logo is owned by MTV, so in a way I’ve now had my first music video on MTV! Ha ha, who would have ever EVER EVAR thought! My first single has been classified as “Parental Advisory” worthy by iTunes and Amazon, so I actually had to bleep out a curse word! I’m edgy, ha ha!
