Tasty Tuesdays
Good morning! Before Christmas arrives, here's one sensational recipe to try.
WHITE CHOCOLATE LEMON COOKIES
*
1 cup of butter ( 2 sticks ) softened
*
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
*
3/4 cup of packed light brown sugar
*
2 eggs (beaten)
*
1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract
*
2 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice
*
2 Tbsp. of lemon zest
*
2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
*
1 tsp. of baking Soda
*
1/4 tsp. of baking Powder
*
1/2 tsp. of kosher salt
*
12 oz of chopped white chocolate
Rolling ingredients:
*
1/2 cup of confectioners sugar
*
1 Tbsp. of lemon zest
Glaze ingredients:
*
About 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar
*
2 Tbsp. of lemon juice
(Individual preferences might require more glaze)
Method:
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugars and continue to beat until everything is combined but not quite fluffy. Add the beaten eggs a little bit at a time. Add the vanilla extract, the lemon juice, and the lemon zest. Mix to combine. Add the flour mixture and blend until just combined. Try not to over mix. Stir in the chopped white chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Combine the confectioning sugar and the lemon zest in a large, shallow bowl. Mix the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingers until it is nice and fragrant.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and scoop out slightly rounded tablespoonfuls. Roll into a loose balls and roll the balls into the lemon zest/ sugar mixture. Place each ball on the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges slightly golden and the centers are just set. Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a sheet of waxed paper before adding the glaze.
Make the glaze:
Combine the confectioners sugar and lemon juice. Mix until all the lumps are gone and everything is smooth. Using a small whisk, drizzle over the baked cookies.

Saturdays at Home
OK.... Assuming most people get the chance to stay home on Saturdays, Saturdays are all about the home, health and living well.
With Christmas a week away, here is a cute list of Christmas tree maintenance courtesy of the National Christmas Tree Association, yes, there is such a thing.
Natinoal Christmas Tree Association
How to Care for Your Farm-Grown Fresh Christmas Tree
When a Christmas tree is cut, over half of its weight is water. With proper care, you can maintain the quality of your displayed trees. Below are a number of tips relating to the care of displayed trees:
1. Displaying trees in water in a traditional reservoir type stand is the most effective way of maintaining their freshness and minimizing needle loss problems.
2. Make a fresh cut to remove about a 1/2-inch thick disk of wood from the base of the trunk before putting the tree in the stand. Make the cut perpendicular to the stem axis. Don't cut the trunk at an angle, or into a v-shape, which makes it far more difficult to hold the tree in the stand and also reduces the amount of water available to the tree.
3. Once home, place the tree in water as soon as possible. Most species can go 6 to 8 hours after cutting the trunk and still take up water. Don't bruise the cut surface or get it dirty.
4. If needed, trees can be temporarily stored for several days in a cool location. Place the freshly cut trunk in a bucket that is kept full of water.
5. To display the trees indoors, use a stand with an adequate water holding capacity for the tree. As a general rule, stands should provide 1 quart of water per inch of stem diameter. Devices are available that help maintain a constant water level in the stand.
6. Use a stand that fits your tree. Avoid whittling the sides of the trunk down to fit a stand. The outer layers of wood are the most efficient in taking up water and should not be removed.
7. Keep displayed trees away from sources of heat (fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight). Lowering the room temperature will slow the drying process, resulting in less water consumption each day.
8. The temperature of the water used to fill the stand is not important and does not affect water uptake.
9. Check the stand daily to make sure that the level of water does not go below the base of the tree. With many stands, there can still be water in the stand even though the base of the tree is no longer submerged in water.
10. Drilling a hole in the base of the trunk does not improve water uptake.
11. Use of lights that produce low heat, such as miniature lights, will reduce drying of the tree.
12. Always inspect light sets prior to placing them on the tree. If worn, replace with a new set.
13. Do not overload electrical circuits.
14. Always turn off the tree lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.
15. Monitor the tree for freshness. After Christmas or if the tree is dry, remove it from the house.
16. Go to www.realchristmastrees.org and type in your ZIP code to find a recycling program near you.
17. Never burn any part of a Christmas tree in a wood stove or fireplace.

A Quote for your Monday
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

Delaware HIV Consortium
Hello all,
I just added a new link in the "Chain of Links" at the bottom right, The Delaware HIV Consortium (DelawareHIV.org)
A brief description courtesy of John Hinkson, Communications Coordinator:
The Delaware HIV Consortium is a statewide non-profit agency that works with all of the HIV/AIDS service providers throughout the state to ensure a quality, non-duplicative,continuum of care for the people of Delaware who are infected with HIV/AIDS. We're located in the suite one floor above AIDS Delaware so we partner with them on a lot of programs/activities, such as the AIDS Walk.
We also have a Facebook page (Delaware HIV Consortium) but there's less than 50 people who "like" us. I do try to post news about HIV/AIDS nearly every day on the Facebook page.
Our agency operates that state's only housing assistance program specifically for people with HIV/AIDS, and we have a emergency financial assistance program and provide education programs throughout the year. And, as I said before, we have our own special events throughout the year, in addition to those we participate in like wellness fairs, and HIV testing events.
I know that HIV/AIDS can kind of be a "downer" if it's talked about constantly and some people don't really like to hear about it at all but now and then it is good to remind people to practice safe sex and provide them with info on where to get free HIV testing.
Check them out if you have any further questions or concerns.

People may think of AIDS as a disease that strikes only certain groups -- men who have sex with men or people who use intravenous drugs -- but 24 percent of Delawareans living with HIV/AIDS were exposed through heterosexual contact, according to state statistics.
While the largest number of HIV/AIDS cases continue to be diagnosed among African-American men, women are getting infected at increasing rates. In 1990, 24 percent of newly diagnosed AIDS cases were female; in 2008, women accounted for 34 percent of new cases, according to a comprehensive HIV prevention plan developed last year by the Delaware Division of Public Health and the Delaware HIV Consortium.

The Kids Are All Right
Just watched this movie tonight: The Kids are Alright. Fantastic! If you want to see hardcore girl-on-girl action, look somewhere else. But if you want to see a beautiful family live, eat, make mistakes and love... this movie is for you.

A Quote for the day:
With Thanksgiving approaching, consider this:
Thankfulness is a sincere appreciation of something that's so profound it becomes humbling. Think about what affects you to that extent and if nothing drives you, maybe you need to reassess your motives.

Haven's Trans Awareness Event
Haven is bringing Donna Rose, a lovely, post-op transsexual woman to talk about transgender issues and her personal experiences in her transformation from masculine man to feminine woman. She has had an incredible journey, and wants to share her experiences and discoveries with the world.

A Lesson from Nature
Many believe that a strong exterior reflects a strong interior, but in fact it is quite the opposite: a hardened exterior conceals a softer interior. Consider the design of oysters, their shell is developed for protection. We will emotionally develop similar a shell purely for protection. Conversely, the softest exterior reflects a stronger interior. Consider the design of a peach fruit. It has a solid pit and its fleshy surroundings, but the peach utilizes that design as nourishment for the growth of the seed. Try to see beyond the allegorical descriptions, for there are genuine analogies that can be made.
This lifestyle is like that of a pine tree. Under the heaviest amounts of snow, the pine tree's branches will never submit. However under the same circumstances, any other tree's branches might all be broken. One could find irony in that the pine tree yields the softest woods of the trees yet remains standing in spite of its incredible duress.
The greatest paradox about the self is that vulnerability is the ultimate strength.
Consider how this analogy can be compared to the process of Coming Out.

Here is, quite possibly, the ultimate lesson of life
Here is, quite possibly, the ultimate lesson of life... brought to you in a simple conversation. I wonder how many people might recognize/remember the speech. This is the transcript.
2 people, R and T are talking:
R: Don't take it personally, its just his opinion. I've learned this long ago: what other people think of me is none of my business. But I want to say you're beautiful. That's the reason you're here. Can I hug you right now? You're here because you're so fabulous, please don't forget that. It's about creative people, who are saying “I'm gonna do my own thing.' and inspire other people to do that, and I think you're doing that. Its not easy, its not easy. It's almost an act of treason in a male dominated society. So we're gonna be up against a lot of criticism.
T: So why feed into that negativity, though?
R: Its there. It's just part of the experience.
T: Why do we have to be the negative asshole? Why can't we be the Pollyannas?
R: This is a competition, there are polar opposites. If we all just said you're fabulous, you're fabulous, you're amazing, you're amazing... there's nothing to it.
T: Because I am amazing!
R: You are!
T: But why are you giving me so much negativity?
R: Because you forgot it, you forgot you are amazing. If you take on someone else's negativity, its because, goddamnit, you forgot it! Its not my responsibility to make you feel good all the time. You're not a loser, that's why you're here today! You forgot who you were... we didn't forget, you forgot! You forgot, Tammy, you forgot that you're fabulous. Don't blame me for that! That's your fucking responsibility. And that's the same for all of you, the reason you're here is because you're all goddamn stars! How many times do we have to put that in your head? You're a fucking star! Don't let anybody tell you that you're not! If I had a nickel for every time somebody said to me 'you can't become a star' I'd have a million billion dollars! I know what I am, I don't forget who I am, and that's true for all of you. Never forget! Everyone's gonna tell you “no, you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it” but that's because they're projecting their negativity onto you! Now, we can't tell you that, because you won't believe it. You have to earn it. You have to own it yourself. I'm telling you now so we can end this conversation. You have to own it yourself, Dorothy. “Why did you tell me all we had to do was click our heels three times?” Because goddamnit, you wouldn't believe me! And that's why you're here. You're in this competition so that you own it, you own it. So that you process it, you process it. “Oh, they're saying bad things about me.” Own it, own it, and then you get to the understanding that “Oh, that wasn't me, that was their shit. That had nothing to do with me. That was them!” And then you own it. You know what... every time that happens to you in life, the time it takes for you to catch yourself gets shorter and shorter. Does that negativity ever go away, that self-doubt, does it go away? No, it doesn't go away. We can't tell you this, you have to walk through the fire. You walk through the fire, then you own it, and you can go” “Come for me, bitches! Come for me. You can say whatever you want, because you know why? I'm motherfucking fierce!”.

A new LGBT study at UD
We want to talk to to LGTBQ young adults about the importance of social support in the lives of sexual minory adolescents.
* What was it like to grow up gay/lesbian?
* What were your relationships with your parents, peers and teachers like?
* As a teen, did you ever experience general peer victimization and/or victimization related to anti-gay harassment?
* Did your parents, peers, and/or teachers respond to your experiences of victimization and anti-gay harassment?
* Was there anything your parents, peers and/or teachers could have done or done in a different way that was supportive?
We want to hear about your experiences!!!
Please consider participating in this research project. We would like to interview young adults 18-24 who currently self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning to further understand the experiences of sexual minority youth.
Your story and experiences are very valuable! Your insights can help us understand the needs and concerns of sexual minority adolescents, and your experiences can help affect policies to better serve teens who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or uncertain of their sexual identity.

Why Delaware GLU exists...
On October 7, Delaware GLU was presented to an audience of about 150 people at the Ignite Wilmington conference.
"Ignite Wilmington is an information exchange for fostering and inspiring Wilmington’s creative community. In one evening, you’ll hear passionate speakers from our creative and technical communities talking about interesting current projects or favorite ideas for just five minutes. Presentations will educate and inspire you, and maybe even make you laugh in the process."
-- from their website: www.ignitewilmington.com
The Speech:
DelawareGLU is Delaware's first Gay/Lesbian news blog. It's a blog I've started in an attempt to bring order to the gay community of DE. Online, you can find it at: delawareglu.blogspot.com... the G.L.U. stands for Gays and Lesbians United ... because we've got to stick together!
This was a concept I was thinking of doing for a while.
I had known about a website in Philadelphia that listed upcoming events and miscellaneous information in regard to the gay population. This was my primary inspiration.
After thinking about it, I came to realize that Wilmington could pull this off, but there's more to Wilm's population that simply those in Wilmington: there's Hockessin, Newark, there's even Middletown. All of whom live close enough that they are willing to drive here and be patrons of the city. This is paralleled in the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisex, transgender) community. So I couldn't ignore events at UD, Dover, or Rehoboth, which is a nationally renowned gay destination.
Consequentially, for this to be successful, I had to make this calendar be all-encompassing to the state of DE. This is possible because Delaware is a small state. There are about 7 or 8 primary LGBT organizations and each of these organizations have their own separate mission statement. I would notice on Facebook, Facebook being a common ground to make your announcements, these groups would post their events. It saddened me that some of these events would go unnoticed because many people don't even know these groups exist (COLAGE or PFLAG). There were so many amazing things happening independently from one another with little to no support from other groups, and they all just needed some form of ...glue!
So I decided to start a blog. My theory was: If nobody else will, then I guess I have to! I decided to take the initiative and make it my responsibility. After talking to Michelle K Fitzgerald, primary blogger for DE Arts, she requested to meet up and helped me set it up.
It's still a very grassroots concept, it's no giant organization, but I think it can be a platform for greater things. When you visit, you'll see I post up events from the local organizations, anything regarding LGBT news, or any random fun stuff (videos, music etc). Now that it exists, Delawareans have a place they can go to stay informed!
After a few months passed, I decided to take advantage of FB to create a page for DEGLU because that's pretty much where the public goes. We just reached 200 fans; I can see us having more, but it might take time.
This is ultimately a way to use technology such as the internet at its best to connect the gay community. Compared to the LGBT community 10 to 15 years ago, Wilmington's current LGBT community is broken. I hear from older residents they had 3 gay bars in the downtown area and the Pride festival was held in Rodney Square! The thought of that almost seems like a joke, we have one gay bar and its hard to create community when it seems people don't want to be around each other.
In January, I sent a questionnaire to 300 people, both friends and strangers, asking for their opinion of how to generate community spirit. A large majority of the responses were wishes that we could have just one building or one cafe to call our own. Since then, I've been toying with the idea of starting an LGBT community center right here in Wilmington. There's one in Rehoboth, but that's in Rehoboth.
A community is a group of people who live in the vicinity of the area. It's a group of people who have some connection, some sense of family, but many of these people are strangers to one another its sad when Wilmington has a good amount of great people.
Before I finish, I simply would like to take a moment to inject that I'm 25 years old. Although I may be young, I hope my age is perceived as an advantage. I'm essentially the future of this city. So by being involved now, I have the potential to develop this city into what I see it looking like and that's half the reason I got involved.
This is exactly the reason Ignite exists. It's all about motivated people, motivating people
Finally I'd like to say Thanks to the people at Ignite for inviting me.
Have a good night.

Dan Choi Reenlists in the Army
Lt. Dan Choi, who was honorably discharged by the U.S. Army in July under "don't ask, don't tell," is in New York seeking to apply for entry into the U.S. Marine Corps — the same day a Pentagon spokeswoman said that military recruiters have been informed they must accept gay applicants.
Choi tweeted on Tuesday that he is "Headed to Times Square Recruiting Station" and told The Advocate he expects to meet gay rights advocate David Mixner at the recruiting office as well as Justin Elzie, who was honorably discharged under DADT in 1997.

WHEN: Wednesday, October 20, 2010, from 10am to 12pm

Josh Groban - You Are Loved
The lyrics of this song speak to so many people from so many facets of the world.
"Everybody wants to be understood, well I can hear you.
Everybody wants to be loved. Don't give up, because you are loved."
"You are loved.
Don't give up.
It's just the weight of the world.
Don't give up.
Every one needs to be heard.
You are loved"
No matter what you're feeling, look around, there's a world of people you might not know who would be willing to support you. Simply put, it gets better. You are loved.

News Journal covers the Candlelit Vigil
Thanks again to those who organized it, those who spoke, and those who came. Your love was palpable. Keep those candles burning in your hearts.
News Journal covers the Candlelit Vigil
Homophobic harassment and bullying have been linked to the suicides nationwide in the past six weeks of 11 male students who were gay or presumed to be gay by classmates.
The vigil coincided with the 12-year anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard. Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, was tied to a fence in a remote area of Laramie, beaten and left for dead. Dan Cole, president of Haven, an LGBT advocacy group at the University of Delaware, lit a candle for Shepard and 11 more for the teens who committed suicide in recent weeks.
Speakers shared their stories of being ridiculed because of their sexual orientation, and many came forward to tell how close they came to committing suicide because they felt hated and alone.

Musings of a Torn Girl
Musings of a Torn Girl
Today, I am torn. For the past few days, I’ve watched my friend’s status update on facebook counting down to National Coming Out Day: “I’m coming out for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.” It’s stance to fight inequality and harassment, and promote self and community acceptance. It’s a sentiment I want to get behind. What am I supposed to do today? Am I supposed to speak up? I have a husband. I have a child. I am an active member of my religious community. However, I am also bisexual. This isn’t an idea I’ve just come to or a passing fancy. It is part of who I am. I am not confused or searching. I am thirty and I’ve known my whole life. My husband knows, my good friends know, and I’m sure if you told my acquaintances they wouldn’t be surprised. Yet, I’m not prepared to post it on a status update or sign my name to this post. Why?
Being bisexual simply isn’t acceptable to either side. Gays and lesbians assume I’m hiding behind a straight life and heterosexuals think I’m simply sex-crazed or trying to fulfill the fantasy of some heterosexual male. I am neither. I didn’t choose my sexuality. I didn’t choose who I love. I fell in love with a man and I married him. I could have easily fallen for a woman. Still, the thought of posting—I am bisexual-- makes me uncomfortable. When we fight for gay rights, we are fighting for equality and acceptance. We fight for people’s right to love and create and create a life with another human being. I already have that life. I already love someone. Furthermore, if I come out as bisexual, what I’m really revealing is my sexual desires. I don’t think the world needs to know my sexual desires.
Thus, I remain torn.

CNN reports on The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project
To reach the Trevor Lifeline, call 866-4-U-TREVOR.
"Welcome to one of the two national call centers for The Trevor Lifeline, America's only 24/7 crisis and suicide prevention hot line for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths. The lifeline is a cornerstone of The Trevor Project, a broader nonprofit dedicated to promoting acceptance of LGBTQ youths and to preventing suicides.
Between this center and another on the East Coast -- at least one is open at all times -- about 30,000 calls are fielded each year. They come from young people struggling with who they are and those who feel desperately alone. They are from kids who've been kicked out of their homes and those whose friends have rejected them. They are from students being tormented by text messages and, at times, those who are poised with a bottle of pills or a gun."

LGBT Questionnaire
Some of you might remember I sent out about 300 emails featuring the questionnaire below. Now that I'm coming back to the idea, I'd like to share some of your ideas. But first, this is the questionnaire: (also, if you're reading it for the first time and have some opinions, PLEASE email me at delawareglu@gmail.com)....
As a resident of Wilmington, it's important to me to live in a thriving city with a wide variety of fun/relaxing/elegant/outrageous things to do. Most everyone I know would agree, especially my friends in the LGBT community. Wilmington can seem “fun-challenged” at times, or maybe it’s just that the types of activities offered don’t appeal to you personally.
I'm writing you to get your opinions of what could be done differently:
A. What would you recommend changing to improve the evenings in Wilmington?
B. What events would you like to see started?
C. What sort of business/venue would you like to see opened?
D. Are there any establishments you patronize already who aren't specifically LGBT focused but could benefit from a greater sense of tolerance and support between each respective community?
E. What would it take for you, yourself to get out of your house and attend an event?
The primary purpose for the questions is based on the notion that we are a community. But what does that mean? A community is more than one person, one event, or one location. I'm incredibly envious of towns smaller than us that have Pride Parades, “gayborhoods,” rainbow flags on various houses, shops or restaurants and they understand “date night” to have a broad and inclusive meaning. It’s a chicken/egg scenario: we need a community to make these things work; we need these things to work to make us feel like a community. I’d like to see Wilmington be that kind of town, and so I am starting with something that I can impact: our sense of community.
I intend to send this message out to every person I know in hopes of getting excellent feedback from as many minds as possible. Hopefully, your feedback will help the various gay organizations in the state better understand the needs of the people. Consider this a community meeting you can attend online. The goal: To get the LGBT Community thinking about how to be a better community. Currently, there are groups and organizations struggling to kindle something, but many are hitting roadblocks. Again, it seems important to gauge what would excite you enough to show up somewhere, to sign up for something, or to attend an event knowing it's an LGBT oriented event.
If you respond, be genuine. Remember that details are key! Maybe you can suggest ways that you could offer help (advice, donations, talents). If ultimately you're not interested in evening events, are there any services or support groups geared toward the LGBT community that you would like to take advantage of?
If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading and I hope to hear back from you! There is no such thing as a bad response!

Children of Same-sex Parents excel in School
Stanford research finds that children of gay and straight couples do equally well in school. By mining data from the 2000 Census, sociologist Michael Rosenfeld figured out the rates at which kids raised by gay and straight couples repeated a grade during elementary or middle school. He found that children of same-sex parents have essentially the same educational achievement as their peers growing up in heterosexual households.

Breaking News: Early Christians Condoned Gay Marriage
AlterNet.com
The following passage is the final paragraph and final thoughts of the article above:
Conservative Christians who insist that "traditional marriage" has always been "between a man and a woman" are wrong and historically uninformed. Thus, they are poor guides for lawmakers and judges.
There is strong support in world religions for the view that homosexuality is not the problem; heterosexism is.
The principles of justice and equality that pulsate through those flawed but powerful classics that we call the “world religions,” are moving toward seeing heterosexism, with its resistance to same-sex loving unions, as a prejudice in a class with sexism, racism, anti-Arabism and anti-Semitism.
Humanity needs its exuberant diversity but humans shrink from it.
As theologian William Sloane Coffin said: “Diversity may be the hardest thing for a society to live with — and perhaps the most dangerous thing to live without.”

The Decay of Proposition 8
CNN: Opinions of Prop. 8
Here is a really brilliant article. It claims that although the opponents of Prop 8 might be able to convince many citizens, their arguments don't provide any evidence to convince the US Courts.

Prop 8 FAIL
"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional." -- Judge Vaughn Walker

An interview with COLAGE
1: Could you describe your position and a provide brief description of COLAGE?
I am one of the Co-Coordinators of the Colage-DE chapter along with Jolly Bailey. We started this group in April 2009 for kids that have at least one LGBTQ identified parent between the age of 9-12. This kids get together once a month at First and Central in Wilmington. Rev Doug Gerdts has been very supportive of this group and his community has provided a wonderful space for the kids to meet up. There is something very endearing about watching these kids get together and know that this space is free of questions about their families and to know they are not alone. Living in a world that treats our families differently and discriminates against us can be challenging and be quite isolating. This group is a social/support group for these kids.
Colage National is 20 year old group that works to build community and promote social justice through youth empowerment, leadership development, education, and advocacy and has approximately 30 chapters across the country, and more than 20,000 supporters.
We have lots of amazing people who have come out to help this local Delaware group. We currently have 7 facilitators now who volunteer for us and one professor from Widener who serves as the facilitator mentor. What this highly creative and energized group seeks to do together is to attempt to have at least one subject matter that involves the issues around LBGTQ families and then for the rest of the time make their time together alot of fun. So there may be discussions around bullying and how best to handle or how to deal with hearing negative comments about our families. Funny story - for Gay Pride month we talked about prominent historical gay figures and one the kids pondered on this a moment and said; "I bet some cavemen were gay too!!" There is kickball, dodgeball, painting and any other suggestions that the kids may have. The group belongs to the kids - they have their own kid only space and a set of rules and agreements they have decided and signed off on. They decide through voting which activities they would like to do. We average around 12 kids for each meetup with the most being 16 kids so the word is getting out and we are growing.
2: What relevance or significance does COLAGE have to the LGBT community? (I wanted to ask these same 5 questions to every lgbt/lgbt-owned organization in the state... that's why this might feel redundant in regard to COLAGE.)
If a COLAGEr chooses to speak out on issues there is not a more powerful voice to be heard!! These kids have a perspective that is unique and in the media whenever there are discussions of LGBTQ parents, same-sex relationships or marriage it is inevitable that the question, "But what about the children?" will be raised. COLAGE is committed to promoting the voices of youth and adults with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender parents as a response to this question and to promote the visibility of those of us with the unique experience of having one or more LGBT parent. COLAGE National and the members of the Speak OUT program are a powerful antidote to homophobia, transphobia and intolerance as use their voices and experiences to raise awareness about the real experiences of people with LGBTQ parents and counter the attempts to invalidate, demean, or attack our families.
3: Why did you decide to join COLAGE?
There was a core group of this age group that had grown up doing events through DE family Pride and they were not as interested in Santa or Easter Bunny events as they got older. Colage was the natural next step to keeping these kids connected and providing support as they get older and may run into issues in middle school. We hope in the future to expand the age group to include all ages. There is an adult group just starting as well for folks over the age of 21. Stay tuned on this one...
4: Is there something that the public often misconstrues about COLAGE?
We as LGBTQ individuals have struggled – on many issues and will continue to have challenges as a people as long as the community in which we live is less than supportive of who we are; and our families. However, our struggles are not necessarily our kid’s struggles. Many of these kids are not LGBT themselves (some are "2nd generation" , which is a term our LGBTQ kids use to identify themselves). Their struggles are not our struggles for they have their own. And they do not have to champion our struggles – being a COLAGEr does not mean they have to be politically active. Some are - some are not. That does not mean they do not love us or support us in other ways.
A wise COLAGEr from the New York City chapter sent me a poem that makes this point. At Family Week COLAGE has day camp for the kids and they used to sing in Provincetown to close the week. The song is from a poem by Kahlil Gibran that was converted into a song by Sweet Honey & the Rock that I included below.
Childen
Your Children, are not your children,
they are the sons and the daughters
of life's longing for itself
they come through you, but they are not from you
and although they are with you, they belong not to you.
You can give them your love but not your thoughts
they have their own thoughts, they have their own thoughts
you can house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
5: Tell me one thing you know about COLAGE that I wouldn't be able to find on the website?
COLAGErs are brave and inspiring. They love their families but they need their own private COLAGErs only space - it is part of the foundation of the group. They need a space where they don’t have to explain their family – where they can just be. One teen Colager shared that when they arrived at the North East COLAGE Chapter event in January they felt like they could truly breathe when the arrived. They need people around them to hear their stories when they can’t or choose not talk at home. They need to know they are not alone and isolated.
It is hard to be a Colager in this world. Our children don’t have to justify why they need Colager space – they just do.
Special thanks to Mary Tipping from COLAGE for her participation and wealth of information.

I am one of the Co-Coordinators of the Colage-DE chapter along with Jolly Bailey. We started this group in April 2009 for kids that have at least one LGBTQ identified parent between the age of 9-12. This kids get together once a month at First and Central in Wilmington. Rev Doug Gerdts has been very supportive of this group and his community has provided a wonderful space for the kids to meet up. There is something very endearing about watching these kids get together and know that this space is free of questions about their families and to know they are not alone. Living in a world that treats our families differently and discriminates against us can be challenging and be quite isolating. This group is a social/support group for these kids.
Colage National is 20 year old group that works to build community and promote social justice through youth empowerment, leadership development, education, and advocacy and has approximately 30 chapters across the country, and more than 20,000 supporters.
We have lots of amazing people who have come out to help this local Delaware group. We currently have 7 facilitators now who volunteer for us and one professor from Widener who serves as the facilitator mentor. What this highly creative and energized group seeks to do together is to attempt to have at least one subject matter that involves the issues around LBGTQ families and then for the rest of the time make their time together alot of fun. So there may be discussions around bullying and how best to handle or how to deal with hearing negative comments about our families. Funny story - for Gay Pride month we talked about prominent historical gay figures and one the kids pondered on this a moment and said; "I bet some cavemen were gay too!!" There is kickball, dodgeball, painting and any other suggestions that the kids may have. The group belongs to the kids - they have their own kid only space and a set of rules and agreements they have decided and signed off on. They decide through voting which activities they would like to do. We average around 12 kids for each meetup with the most being 16 kids so the word is getting out and we are growing.
2: What relevance or significance does COLAGE have to the LGBT community? (I wanted to ask these same 5 questions to every lgbt/lgbt-owned organization in the state... that's why this might feel redundant in regard to COLAGE.)
If a COLAGEr chooses to speak out on issues there is not a more powerful voice to be heard!! These kids have a perspective that is unique and in the media whenever there are discussions of LGBTQ parents, same-sex relationships or marriage it is inevitable that the question, "But what about the children?" will be raised. COLAGE is committed to promoting the voices of youth and adults with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender parents as a response to this question and to promote the visibility of those of us with the unique experience of having one or more LGBT parent. COLAGE National and the members of the Speak OUT program are a powerful antidote to homophobia, transphobia and intolerance as use their voices and experiences to raise awareness about the real experiences of people with LGBTQ parents and counter the attempts to invalidate, demean, or attack our families.
3: Why did you decide to join COLAGE?
There was a core group of this age group that had grown up doing events through DE family Pride and they were not as interested in Santa or Easter Bunny events as they got older. Colage was the natural next step to keeping these kids connected and providing support as they get older and may run into issues in middle school. We hope in the future to expand the age group to include all ages. There is an adult group just starting as well for folks over the age of 21. Stay tuned on this one...
4: Is there something that the public often misconstrues about COLAGE?
We as LGBTQ individuals have struggled – on many issues and will continue to have challenges as a people as long as the community in which we live is less than supportive of who we are; and our families. However, our struggles are not necessarily our kid’s struggles. Many of these kids are not LGBT themselves (some are "2nd generation" , which is a term our LGBTQ kids use to identify themselves). Their struggles are not our struggles for they have their own. And they do not have to champion our struggles – being a COLAGEr does not mean they have to be politically active. Some are - some are not. That does not mean they do not love us or support us in other ways.
A wise COLAGEr from the New York City chapter sent me a poem that makes this point. At Family Week COLAGE has day camp for the kids and they used to sing in Provincetown to close the week. The song is from a poem by Kahlil Gibran that was converted into a song by Sweet Honey & the Rock that I included below.
Childen
Your Children, are not your children,
they are the sons and the daughters
of life's longing for itself
they come through you, but they are not from you
and although they are with you, they belong not to you.
You can give them your love but not your thoughts
they have their own thoughts, they have their own thoughts
you can house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
