Brother Act

Around midway through Tarell Alvin McCraney&#;s &#;Choir Boy,&#; a organization of boys at a boarding school for &#;strong, ethical ebony men&#; belt out the classic spiritual &#;Sometimes I Feel Favor a Motherless Child&#; in a locker room. And while that was one of the limited gospel-style songs I knew in this potent, transporting piece, I felt I was truly hearing it for the very first time.

The rendition was so poignant I wondered if McCraney, who has made a name for himself creating works like &#;The Brother/ Sister Plays&#; and &#;Wig Out!&#; that drew from his past as a shy, God-fearing boy growing up in crack-infested Miami housing projects in the s, was motherless himself. A quick bio check confirmed that after a nasty battle with drug addiction, his mother died of AIDS-related illness at age

This is just one of many authentic, exhilarating moments in &#;Choir Boy,&#; which is chock-full of glorious singing, although it would be wrong

This week the Church of England found itself in a very publicly complicated situation about sexuality—again.

At the end of August, Bishop Nicholas Chamberlain, the Bishop of Grantham, came out as the first openly gay bishop with a partner. To those of us in the LGBTI community within the Church this wasn't a surprise; we had all established for a long time.

But it has proved to be troublesome for the Church, which had chosen to purposefully conceal his relationship (Bishop Nic has always been open, if not public, about his sexuality.) When a fresh bishop is appointed there is an official biography and usually it includes some personal facts to paint a human picture—of the wife or husband, the children and pets, and a few details such as their enjoy of real ale or hill walking. Oddly, these days new bishops all seem to like hill walking.

If you look at Bishop Nic's biography there is no reference at all to the dude with whom he has shared, as he has said, a loving and faithful relationship for 30 years. We now grasp that the Archbishop of Canterbury knew about this and indeed had

Dowager Countess, Violet Crawley, by Gay Ann Rogers

This is the 4th piece of the Downton Abbey series by Gay Ann Rogers. I worked on the overstitching with the darker plum Impressions in the corners of the Scotch stitch variation yesterday at our ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter Stitch-in. Due to Thanksgiving next weekend, we moved it to a week earlier than usual. Robin was a most generous host with a excellent soup and chicken salad lunch and brownies made by Pat. Last nighttime, I finished the overstitching and filled in the Smyrna stitches. This morning, I finished the overstitching on the long diagonal chains with black Kreinik 1/16 Ribbon. I love it!

Gay Ann Rogers was inspired by this photo of Violet Crawley. Once again, Same-sex attracted Ann captured the look and undergo of the photo in her geometric. According to her website, Gay Ann will be releasing &#;Dowager in the Evening&#; at some point but it will be larger and beaded. While I may obtain it, I include a plan to design two more Downton Abbey pieces based on pictures I have selected. Then, I will frame a

Peter Fincham on sex, lies and the terrible mystery of the body in the pool

Last Friday morning a statement was released on social media by the TV presenter Phillip Schofield in which he finally admitted what some had long suspected, which is that although happily married for many years, he was gay.

I knew Phillip during my day at ITV. He was professional and courteous. Whether he was gay or not, I had no idea. Rumours circulated, but rumours circulate about lots of entertainers. As long as they stayed on the right side of the rule – we’ll come to that in a minute – showbusiness stars, as far as I was concerned, were entitled to keep their private existence private.

The statement Schofield released was long and slightly tortuous. It’s tempting to think that it was vetted or even written by teams of agents and P.R. experts, but there’s no reason to trust it isn’t exactly what he wanted to say.  It reads a bit like the personal statement sixth formers make when applying to university – keen to make the right impression at a critical moment, nervously aware that once pledged to
