“Superheroes…how gay are they?”
Wednesday, July 1
6:30- 8:30 pm
NOTE: early starting time when we’ll be chomping on
(what else?) heroes…meatballs, of course!
University of Maine professor Rob K. flies in with his super powers of muscle, might and Kryptonite to save us all from the bad guys and reveal more of the good guys in ways you won’t forget!
The homoeroticism of comic book super men is only slightly below the surface, and Rob rips off the covers of some of the hottest heroes flying, jumping, and camping.
Marvel with us over those thrills and chills beneath our own covers, late at night, long ago when we were boys, and men were superheroes. One of our most popular nights of the year.
Meatball HEROES at 6:30!
About Last Week:
trying to understand
More than 40 guys crammed into the Community Center and the night’s discussion was intense and very moving. Learning of the horrifying experiences that one of us endured in an attempt to change his sexual orientation was frightening. His sharing lead to individual stories of trying to change and, by the end of the evening, a survey of everyone present about their comfort level about being gay. Here was the list…each of us chose the number closest to his position. What would you have chosen if you were there?
1. I hate being gay.
2. I would change if I could.
3. I might consider changing.
4. I am resigned to being gay.
5. I am OK with being gay.
6. I like being gay, but I am silent about it.
7. I am happy being gay, but I am not open about it.
8. I am out and open.
9. I am proud to be gay.
10. I am an activist about gay issues
If you weren’t there, you missed some great refreshments, a truly terrific night, and a lot of great guys!

GLBT AA Meeting - Sundays, 6:30pm
This group has historic significance as its founding started the recognition of the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender recovering alcoholics. While most GLBT recovering people attended other meetings at the time, many experienced homophobia and heterosexist responses when they talked about sexual orientation issues (gender identity issues were not openly discussed by anyone at the time of the group's founding-they were subsumed under the gay and lesbian issues category). Many GLBT people were uncomfortable discussing sexuality (and gender) issues in "straight" meetings.
