GWH MEETING - October 2008 - Freethought Day Celebration
TIME: October 14th @ 7:00 PM
TOPIC: Freethought Day celebration.
Join us to hear our guest speaker, Marc Adams, a former student of Jerry Falwell's Liberty Univeristy, who bills himself as running the only nonprofit with the sole mission of providing outreach to GLBT students terrorized at religious educational institutions.
Marc Adams is the author of eight books including his award-winning autobiography, The Preacher's Son, five collections of poetry, and The Do's & Don'ts of Dealing with the Religious Right.
Reared in a cultish, fundamentalist Baptist home, aware that he was gay by the age of seven and weaving his way through religious schools (including Jerry Falwell's Liberty University) and reparative therapy techniques, Adams started his journey to self-acceptance at age 23.
Marc Adams is also the founder and executive director of HeartStrong, Inc. It is the only educational nonprofit in the world with the sole mission to provide outreach and support to GLBT students terrorized at religious educational institutions. The HeartStrong Outreach Team has self-driven more than 350,000 miles in the past ten years.
