On World AIDS Day (Dec. 1) we offer support by posting "Patrons of the AIDS Pandemic" by Lewis Williams.

The icon shows two pairs of medieval male saints who faced epidemics together with friendship and faith.  Their man-to-man bond speaks to the gay community. More info

More than 300 conservative Christian protesters picketed a play about a transsexual Jesus recently in Glasgow, Scotland.

Waving signs and singing hymns, they blocked traffic for two hours on opening night of "Jesus, Queen of Heaven." 

The play was written and performed by Jo Clifford (formerly John Clifford), whose stated goal was to create greater understanding of transgendered people like herself. More info

We celebrate Advent with a prayer from "Equal Rites":

The closet may be a fertile place:
creativity bursts out of a lonely hell,

the spirit leaps from a monastic cell.

Those born in darkness

Harvey Milk has became the public face of the GLBT rights movement since his assassination 31 years ago.  He was the first and most famous openly gay male elected official in California, and perhaps the world. 

"If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door in the country," Milk said.  

In 2009 he got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and California designated his birthday (May 22) as Harvey Milk Day.  More info
