LGBTQ Poetry: "To Eddleston"
To Eddleston Thou too art gone, thou loved and lovely one! Whom Youth and Youth’s affections bound to me; Who did for me what none beside have done, Nor shrank from one albeit unworthy thee, What is my Being! thou hast ceased to be! Nor staid to welcome here thy wanderer home, Who mourns o’er hours which we no more shall see— Would they had never been, or were to come! Would he had ne’er...

In & Out
 Release Date: September 19th 1997    In & Out started out very…gee golly, picture perfect, and kind of corny.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first but I wanted to give it a  fair shot. The town, small town folk, and overall mood of the film  reminded me a lot of Pleasantville.    The main character, Howard (Kevin Kline) is a well respected, loved  teacher and coach. He is...
