amen, sister

today a nun, a professor at a nearby catholic university, said to me, "i bet grove city college was a scary place to be. it must have been difficult to be yourself there." she said she doesn't support the homophobic doctrine or the environment, from what her niece (a student at gcc) has told her. i told her i am glad to be somewhere else. i'm glad to be where i am in life.

it encourages me when someone who we might assume would not understand finally gets it. gets what the church - her church, if you will - is doing.

this woman and i were two of six panelists at an 'LGBT in the profession' panel organized and sponsored by two huge corporations here in philly. the entire experience was edifying. ask me about it someday. or ask A. he was there, in the 4th row, being a wonderful, supportive boo.


lovely day.
