Default Greetings from G-A-Y

Hey everyone. As a longtime friend and supporter of Soulforce, I've decided it's time to give myself and Good As You a presence here on the forums. For those who don't know about Good As You (www.goodasyou.org), here is some brief info:

About G-A-Y: Using humor and irreverence rather than anger and protests, Good As You represents a new generation of gay activism. Now is the time for intelligent, progressive-minded individuals to step up and fight for the common rights of which they might be denied. We're here to rally the troops.

Our tone is light, but our message is firm: We will not sit back and be led to a society that favors discrimination over diversity.

Recent national press:
Profile in HRC 'Equality' magazine: http://www.hrcbackstory.org/2007/10/...you-blogg.html
Feature on the PBS program "In the Life": http://www.inthelifetv.org/html/episodes/11.html
Profile in 'The Advocate': http://www.goodasyou.org/JeremyHooper.jpg
G-A-Y's MySpace Page: http://www.myspace.com/good_as_you

I also wanted to direct readers of this forum to a post that I've written on the upcoming "American Family Outing" event. The post has struck a nerve with some on the anti-gay side of the fence, and they are making comments that show why, exactly, we NEED dialogue (a concept to which they are quite hostile):
http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you...06696#comments

If anyone wants to do defend SF, by all means do!!

I also promise to be an active participant here on the forums, as we all work together to end this unnecessary "culture war" that is tearing apart so many lives.

Hi, thanks for checking in.

I glanced at the comment page and. . . wow. I'm in no mood right now to engage - maybe next week.

Glad to meet you, and hope we will see more of you around on the forum.

Default Welcome Jeremy!

Welcome Jeremy!

How nice to hear from you ... I love your website. After I saw you on "In the Life" awhile back, I sent you a message to thank you for your great work, and you sent me back the nicest email! Thanks again!

You might want to check out this thread to see where we discussed your great website awhile back ... : )

Big hugs to you ... and Andrew and Bosley!
