| In memory of Andy Davis | |  Andy Davis, Empress XII Alexis Devo, was found January 16. At this time there are no details about a memorial service for Andy, but we wish to remember him.
On January 6, Andy and members of the Imperial Rainbow Court of Northern Utah held a fundraiser at OUTreach. That night Andy talked about how he wanted to help start a northern Utah youth group, to help build self-esteem and leadership skills, and especially to help and serve others.
From a New Year's Eve post on Andy's Face Book page: "This year I will dedicate to my self to my happiness, my joy, my higher self, and to the service to all people! This year I will wake up and start in the gratitude by which I should always be in. I will smile more! I will manifest more good things, and .... I will allow me to be present in my life. I will let go of all things that do not serve me for the better, and I will Shine!"
Shine on Andy. You are missed. |

Cynthia Fleming, the Executive Producer, wrote to us today:
"I congratulate you for giving your youths the gift of Dottie. We are very proud to produce a play that explores these issues: bullying, belittling, and beating of people particularly LGBT youth; LGBT equality - workplace, marriage, etc; increasing self esteem, self-acceptance, authenticity, and honesty; love and loss; same-sex surrogacy; and decreasing self-loathing, suicide, fear, shame, guilt, judgment, and ignorance. Everyone in your organization would benefit from seeing this play and bringing someone to this play that may be on the fence with these issues, would be a plus."
