Fish Can't Fly National Coming Out Project
Shocked about plans by anti-gay Dr. Throckmorton* to blanket the US during National Coming Out Month with a film that proports gays can become straight, Wayne Besen approached Tom Murray, Shawn O'Donnell and me to see if we can organize a counter-action.Every October 11th, thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and allies celebrate National Coming Out Day.

I bought a DVD of Fish Can't Fly at NEYM, but of course, still have yet to watch it.
Hey Peterson,
The director of the Phila GLB Community Center even happens to be Quaker, so maybe I'll be able to arrange something.
Of course, I'm thinking you need to return here to do your show, maybe at Penn, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Harverford, or some of the zillions of other U's in the area.
Maybe I need to be making some phone calls! :-)

Tom, you know I enjoy Philly, so bring it on. This past year I performed at Haverford and Swarthmore and had a great response.
Then when I come back to Philly we can HANG out!
