Beruberoad.jpg The NYT takes a look at the life of gay historian Allan Bérubé, and his well-known book Coming Out Under Fire: “The book sprang from a box of letters. One day in the 1970s, a friend of one of Mr. Bérubé’s neighbors salvaged from a Dumpster a cache of correspondence exchanged by a dozen gay G.I.’s during the war. The men, who had met at an Army base in Missouri, were posted to different spots, but they continued to write — in particular about what it was like to be gay wherever they had fetched up. The letters found their way to Mr. Bérubé. ‘I sorted them out and had a good cry,’ he told the University of Chicago alumni magazine in 1997. ‘It really captured my heart and raised a lot of questions, so I started doing research.'”

It was the first time in three years the Cowboys haven’t scored a touchdown, losing to the inferior Philadelphia Eagles. According to People, “The 27-year-old Pro-Bowler ended the game with a quarterback rating of just 22.2 – that’s the worst ever in his entire career. (In comparison, his average rating this year is over 100.) His previous low? Last December, when then-girlfriend Carrie Underwood was in the stands.”

The conference is sponsored by numerous community groups, including a local Merrill Lynch office, the Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association, the Westchester-East Putnam Region PTA and a state senator, Suzi Oppenheimer, a Democrat from Mamaroneck. In the beginning, in 1999, there were no students, just 125 adults, mostly educators who worked with gay children. This year, there were about 200 adults along with 300 boys and girls. Some, like Michael, attended with their parents. More arrived in school buses with their Gay Straight Alliance clubs.”

Students say this isn’t in response to any one event, but a culmination of events over a period of time.” (video)
