SKQ Reads: Winter 2013

December 18, 2013

Well, the year is coming to a close. I've now had two of my Kobo readers balk under the pressure of my lifestyle. I've now resorted to just reading on my computer (ugh) or, whenever possible, heading to the bookstore to pick up the real thing.

Hello!

Post Tour Reflections on LGBTQ Rights Worldwide

November 20, 2013

Friends, This year we have spent time in many countries we have never toured before. Many do not have legislation that protects or even acknowledges the rights or existence of gay and transgendered people.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the victims and their friends and families all over the world as they…
