Well, first off, let me apologize if this comes off as another nagging kind of support plea - because I'm sure some of you make tons of donations. But a young college age man posted his first appeal on a gay web site I'm fond of (Pam's HouseBlend @
http://www.pamshouseblend.com) and he's going to participate in Soulforce's campaign this year.
Most of you know that they've created quite a stir taking political action by directly confronting and engaging in discussion with con-servative "Christian" colleges which engage in open discrimination against gay students and society. I think it is remarkable how these young men and women are taking on that juggernaut with such confidence and spirit, so, if you'd like to look at his post at Pam's, here's the link:

http://www.soulforce.org/index.phpThese young people make a lot of sacrifices in order to make a difference through this direct action - and they've had a positive influence on many people on previous trips. I believe this is the same group which has also participated in demonstrating outside Focus on the Fanny...er..."Family"...and is led by Rev. Mel White.
Thanks!
