[...] For those of you who’ve been long-time readers, you will remember my strong interest in a situation that went down outside Memphis a few years ago. A boy named Zach came out on MySpace, which prompted his parents to send him to Love in Action, a program which attempted to make their son straight, i.e. an "ex-gay". At that time, I became friends with a wonderful activist and actor named Peterson Toscano. He is an ex-ex-gay who spent time in that program himself and who now tours the world performing one-man shows which educate people about issues of sexuality, especially as they relate to what is called "reparative therapy". That euphemism means "repairing" what is felt to be "broken" sexuality. It means making it possible for gay people to live straight lives. In short, this is a stupid idea that isn’t even possible. If you want to learn more, peruse the archives on the topic here and elsewhere. On Thursday (3/15), Peterson will be on the Montel Williams Show. The topic will be Reparative Therapy. Check out listings in your area. I’ll be setting my TiVo. [...]

Oh man. That is so sad. I hate that. I know it’s the natural order of things, but it still is so hard to deal with. You think Winnie will continue to stay in that room all the time when Kitty is gone? Jeep, MY black cat, has gotten extra love today.

Kitty took a few sips of condensed milk, but that was it. I left the bowl in the room and over the next eight hours, she drank no more. Now I’m thawing out some homemade condensed chicken broth to try. I’ll let you know how it goes. Winnie is sitting vigil.
