07:09 Question of the Week

"I'd like to have some sort of direction in learning to loosen up on my in grained 'maleness' and let my true self shine without reservation. I am having trouble finding resources though. Could anyone suggest any to me? I say 'real world' because I am NOT impersonating. I think my manerisms are pretty passable (for lack of a better word), but I could use advise for what to look for and what to work on. "
(From: Brook)

35:21 When the United Church of Christ set out to develop an advertising campaign highlighting the welcoming nature of their organization, they did not anticipate the unwelcoming nature of certain mainstream media outlets. Rev. Ben Guess, the openly gay director of the UCC news service, tells us the story behind the ads that CBS and NBC called "too controversial" and refused to air.
