bloomingOUT - March 4, 2010

Pastor of the Bloomington United Presbyterian Church Reverend David Bremer returns to the show to continue our conversation about the importance of acceptance of all individuals including the queer community by religious denominations and why some congregations and church leaders feel justified in their discrimination against various individuals and groups. Associate Director of the Indiana University Student Activities Office Darrell Ann Stone informs us about the “Why Are We Quiet?” panel discussion to be held this weekend at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. Also in the studio is IU graduate student Jan Marie Steele who shares information about the staged reading of the “Laramie Project” being performed on campus this weekend and the showing of an East German film “Burning Life”(in the vein of “Thelma and Louise”) which is part of IU’s DEFA project. The film showing will be followed by an Oscar Viewing Party at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre on Sunday at 6 pm. Our featured musical artist is Nervous But Excited, with several selections from their album "Anchors". 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 Sean Lemieux.
