Hi everyone! I'm from NJ, but I am moving close to Philly (Woodbury Hts - about 15 minutes away). Does anyone know of any great groups, events, or resource pages I can check out?

Stay cool!

Thanks!

from website:

The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) is having its annual convention in Philadelphia (Nov. 5-7). The notorious "ex-gay" group is hoping that Americans have amnesia and don't remember that its most "prominent" board member, George Rekers, was forced to resign in May. Rekers stepped down after he was caught vacationing with a male escort he met on RentBoy.com. When asked why he had hired the young man, Rekers said it was to, "lift his luggage." As the infamous quacks at NARTH gather for their annual convention, let's Remind America that NARTH is a pseudo-scientific organization that is more about Rent Boys than research.

Anyone want to attend this Hanne Blank reading with me at Giovanni's Room in Philly tonight?

"A comprehensive guide on the how-tos and why-tos of love, romance, and great big sexuality for everyone--regardless of gender or orientation--from the chubby to the supersized.
"Big Big Love" is the only handbook on sex, sexuality, and sexual self-confidence for people who know that a love life isn't dictated by the number on a bathroom scale. Covering the ins and outs of sex toys, sex aids, and positions for larger lovers, this guide also takes on tricky topics like the fear of being seen naked and living in a culture where no body is ever perfect enough. Featuring advice on medical issues and activism, along with expert interviews on topics like fat-admirer culture, "Big Big Love" tackles every hot-button issue people of size will confront in the bedroom and in love.
