  'Other Voices

  Other Classrooms': The Musings of a Gay Middle School Teacher

  \"As a gay man

  I have experienced my share of intolerance and \"chin-wagging\" from adults whose world perspective is limited -- both in my small Southern Indiana hometown

  and my adopted South Florida home. It is my goal to populate the world

  as best I can via education

  with the antidote to these kinds of die-hards and dogmatists.\"

  \"LGBTQ youth experience relentless physical and verbal harassment

  and now

  with online bullying

  there is no escape. It is 24/7. If LGBTQ youth aren't safe at home

  and they aren't safe in their place of worship

  shouldn't they be safe at school? The GSA Network points out that more heterosexual students than LGBTQ students are harassed and bullied because they're perceived to be LGBTQ. Nevertheless

  LGBTQ students are still disproportionately affected by anti-LGBTQ harassment. The lesson: Homophobia and transphobia affect all students. And it affects their education.\"

  Summer 2011\n\nIn this issue we feature a rollicking tale of a 1911 flying ace and his derring-do. There is A. Robert Towbin's poignant short story

  \"A Business Trip to California

  \" that is intriguingly evocative of William Trevor. There's a moving memoir by J. Patrick Redmond entitled \"Margaret\" that tells of his friendship with a most unlikely character

  as well as a very brave short story by Mary Richie

  \"The Conductor

  \" in which she explores the limits of traditional language and narrative form.\n\n— Lou Ann Walker

  SOME GO HUNGRY - AVAILABLE NOW!\n\nAmazon link: http://amzn.to/1WuWg5y\n\nSome Go Hungry is a fictional account drawn from the author’s own experiences working in his family’s provincial Indiana restaurant—and wrestling with his sexual orientation—in a town that was rocked by the scandalous murder of his gay high school classmate in the 1980s.\n\nNow a young man who has embraced his sexuality

  Grey Daniels returns from Miami Beach

  Florida

  to Fort Sackville

  Indiana

  to run Daniels’ Family Buffet for his ailing father. Understanding that knowledge of his sexuality may reap disastrous results on his family’s half-century-old restaurant legacy—a popular Sunday dinner spot for the after-church crowd—Grey struggles to live his authentic

  openly gay life. He is put to the test when his former high school lover—and fellow classmate of the murdered student—returns to town as the youth pastor and choir director of the local fundamentalist Christian church.\n\nSome Go Hungry is the story of a young gay man forced to choose between the happiness of others and his own joy

  all the while realizing that compromising oneself—sacrificing your soul for the sake of others—is not living

  but death.\n\nKaylie Jones is the award-winning author of five novels and a memoir. She teaches writing at two MFA programs and lives in New York City.\n\nSubjects: Literary Fiction
