Building Bridges Between Communities

Recently, I have been invited to participate in an event (details to come at a later date), the goal of which is to build bridges between the GLB (gay/lesbian/bi) communities and the transgender community.

The Thing, The Path, The Goal

Upon a time a babe was born,
Of humble stock and collars worn,
As innocent as life could be,
Except for one anomaly.

A spank was heard, the silence torn,
Into this world a child was born.
