RJS on TALL Show, 6/17/09: Obama, Free the Gays

Thanks again to the TaLL gals for inviting me on their cable access show, and for letting me read my letter to the President, “Obama, Free the Gays.”

Update: I’ll be on the TaLL Show again Wednesday, July 1st to talk about Obama’s meeting with GLBT activists.

Author, activist, and anthologist Ron Suresha returns to our show to talk about both being nominated and being a judge for the Lambda Literary Awards.  Ron brings copies of the finalists in the Transgender category and talks about why each book was a finalist.  As always we end up talking politics and current events as well.  Ron reads the letter he wrote to the President, “Obama: Free the Gays.”

Kalli and Tara have also invited me to return as a “regular” guest  again on Weds., July 8 & 22, and more or less every other week afterward, and I’ll be posting segments here.
