My collection of children's stories for GLBT youths and children of GLBT parents is confirmed! Sunday April 1st at 2pm! I'm telling 4 stories: Mary-Anne and Ginger; The Shrew, the Shoe, a King and a Prince; boy-girl-girl-boy; and soon to be world famous, The Sassy Scarf Story!

HIV-ehicle

by David LeBarron

performance

I'm telling a story on Dec 2nd at The Gay and Lesbian Center for World AIDS Day.

Ok I was jealous and bitter. :) But it turned out to be an uplifting experience and now I'm gunna share it!...

My Oprah Moment

by David LeBarron

performance

Well that's what my friend called it. I performed at Apt 3F last Friday and it went amazingly! People laughed, cried, and we all collectively grew. It was tangible. At the end of the piece, I give out rocks that represent "home" and empowerment. I almost started crying when everyone's hand went up. As I placed the rocks in peoples' hands I said "welcome home" to like 70 people. It was beautiful. Ok. How's that an Oprah Moment. It was sort of a hippie version of "You Got a Rock and you got a rock and YOU got a rock! like she does on her show. or used to. Oprah if you're reading this: I did you...
