"Out of the Box" is OUT!

After years of planning, months of filming and weeks of editing, "Voices of Witness: Out of the Box" is now "ready for prime time" ... playing on IntegriTV's YouTube Channel. Here are some "early reviews:"

"Fiercely, beautifully, compelling. Enlightening and comforting to ALL of us, even us heteros, who need to courageously live into our true selves, whoever that is and wherever that takes us."

"This is absolutely beautiful. I am so glad to see these people live the lives they were meant to, and I am overjoyed to see the Episcopal Church open up its doors and be so accepting. I pray one day the Roman Catholic Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and all other churches can follow this example."

"Demos gracias a Dios! I recognize the stories of so many beloved members of our own parish and my own family in this beautiful production. Please oh please, por favor, tell me that it will at least be overdubbed en español, so that the other half of our congregación can watch the video."

"This video is moving, thoughtful, and the humanity of transgender people shines through every frame. This is a wonderful tool to educate all about a subject that is so misunderstood and feared. Great work!!!

Watch it for yourself. Commend it to your bishops and deputies. Help us spread the word: "Out of the Box" is OUT!

Blog Faerie Commandments

Thou shalt be a current Integrity member; for as the
Psalmist says, “No good thing will YHWH withhold from those who walk with integrity.”
Thou shalt post legitimate news and public opinion
from recognized sources; for few blogs are fonts of true wisdom.
Thou shalt not post gossip; for it is serious sin that nobody preaches about anymore.
Thou shalt not include thine own opinions in posts; but thou mayest post thine own opinions using the comments feature.
Thou shalt not post hate speech nor engage in personal attacks against thy neighbor—neither in posts nor in comments. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Though shalt post items that emphasize the LGBT-positive side of issues whenever possible; for there are more than enough blogs devoted to denegrating us.
Though shalt mostly post items dealing with LGBT
equality in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion; but thou mayest post some LGBT secular news and LGBT news from other faith traditions.
Thou shalt not post copyrighted material in its
entirety; for it is abhorrent to the United States government. Rather, thou shalt post an excerpt or summary with a link to the original source.
Thou shalt cite the original source (author,
title, affiliation, publisher, date) of a post whenever possible; thus may readers direct their rants and raves in the right direction.
Thou shalt be wise with the quantity of material thou posteth to the blog; for the reader unsubscription rate is inversely proportional to the number of daily posts.
Thou shalt replace shaped quotation marks and
apostrophies (“ ” ’) with straight equivalents (" " ') whenever possible; for shaped characters are not supported by all e-mail servers.
Though mayest embed YouTube and Google video clips in a post but thou shalt also provide a hyperlink to the clip; for the clip itself may be stripped out of the e-mail version.
Thou shalt include graphics with thine posts when possible; for plain text is really boring.
