bloomingOUT - February 7, 2008

Retired Methodist minister and Chairperson of Reconciling Ministries Community within the South Indiana Conference (RMCSI) Robert Epps is in the studio to talk about efforts to remove hate and fear language from the United Methodist Book of Discipline and to help local congregations become open and welcoming to LGBTQI individuals and families. Regular guest and performance artist Jennifer Lanier is back with an update about her current "None of the Above" tour and talks about her African-American and Native American heritage. Performance artist Stevie Jay phones in to talk about his genderbending act that often ventures into unchartered territory as well as his personal motivations and cultural reactions. Our featured artist of the week is Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter Lindsay Bloom, currently on tour in New York. As always bloomingOUT also features the latest in national and international queer headline news and a community calendar highlighting local and regional events of interest to the queer community and our allies. Hosted by Helen Harrell and Victor Kinzer.
