In the last 21 days I did not know it until I woke up this morning that someone, a high power maybe had set a queer bomb to go off in my life. As I get ready to attend church (Detroit Metropolitan Gay UCC) for the first time since I left my parents church at age 17 due to the Roman Catholics being so fondly warm of gays, I thought I would say an bit of fun and if your read fully announcement.
1. 21 days no drinking
2. 19 days since I had a 6 hour energy drink, and only 2 red bulls
3. Withdrew from Grand Valley State Univeristy due to funding constraints
4. Applied to Wayne State University Graduate School of Social Work
5. Decided for my 22nd Birthday I am getting a tattoo to express serernity, diversity/equality
6. Started to learn to put the crackberry down at times
7. Started to learn to listen and act not to react
8. My amazing friends, have helped me through a hot mess and then some.
9. Moved from Lansing to Farmington Hills to live with a friend of co-worker in the Michigan Democratic Party LBGTA Caucus
10. Opening of the Office of @adamleben @progressivemich on Facebook Adam Equality Taylor, and blogs www.adamleben.wordpress.com and www.michdemslbgta.wordpress.com
When I got to step 10 a Queer bomb was denoted in my new home. The aftermath is as you can see in the following description and photos. From Between the Lines articles mounted to my desk, to OneKalamazoo yard signs, to Creating Change and conference name tags, National Equality March flags, HRC equality signs, Obama posters, to Trevor Project. Add in my Jed Foundation mental health activist of the year award, West Michigan Pride Advovacy Award and my BA in Political Science from Western Michigan Univerity, and Center for Progressive Leadership 2008.
The following photos show the horrors that are now the office of @adamleben on twitter, Adam Equality Taylor on Facebook, and www.adamleben.wordpress.com on blogs.
This room while I may relax in parts of it, read ands study soon for my Masters in Social Work I am applied to at Wayne State University, is the hub of all the tweets, blogs, and emails fighting not only for equality but LBGT services, heavily in the area of mental health. With it I am announcing that I am looking to explore opening/starting a new non profit dedicated to LBGT media, advocacy and aid in fundraising under-served and under-funded portions of our community. Before doing so I am seeking poll data from you all.
