Dan Quinn with Texas Freedom Network

Randall Terrell with Equality Texas

Dan Quinn, Communications Director for the Texas Freedom Network, an organization which fights the influence of the extreme religious right, our old friend Randall Terrell, Political Director of Equality Texas, the Lone Star State’s LGBT lobbying organization and Jose Medina, media coordinator for the Texas Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union are in the studio to discuss the disturbing developments from the Texas State Board of Education and how they are “revising” the way text books treat some very sensitive themes in American history….things like the separation of church and State…slavery…even the word capitalism.

 Kathleen Coggin with Family Eldercare

Kathleen Coggin with Family ElderCare in Austin, Texas is heading up a new program called AgeLess, which stands for Austin Gay and Lesbian Senior Services and is a new resource for gay & lesbian seniors in the Austin area.

Eric Himan may seem like a walking contradiction, with the brooding good looks and tattoos ... and yet this rising young star is openly gay ... in a business that is anything but gay friendly. On top of that, he has chosen a difficult path to stardom. Without the help of record labels, booking agents, publicists, or management, Eric is making a name for himself on the indie rock Scene. He’s been featured in just about every national gay publication and the mainstream press is starting to take notice as well. With no fewer than six full length studio albums to his credit, Eric is currently touring the country and working on his own record label, Thumbcrown Records.

 
Jake Gonzalez with aGLIFF

Jake Gonzalez with the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival talks about the Queer Youth Media Project a summer filmmaking workshop series for queer and ally youth, ages 12-19, that it produces in collaboration with Out Youth.

 
Mary Wilson, pastor at Church of the Savior

Chad Peevy, president of the AGLCC

Mary Wilson, pastor at Church of the Savior, and Chad Peevy, president of the Austin Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce talk about the upcoming Interfaith Pride Service.

    Classic exposition, I have also mentioned it in my blog article. But it is a pity that almost no friend discussed it with me. I am very happy to see your article.
