TOMMI AVICOLII MECCA
---------------------------------
The Old Brown Jacket

On that sweltering summer night in 1972, the last thing I wanted to deal with was Papa barging into my room. He had found out I appeared on TV the night before to debate an aversion therapist who was "curing" queers by zapping them with electricity. How could I explain it to him? He couldn't understand long hair or folk music, let alone the fact that I was queer and proud of it. This wasn't going to end well.

BOBBY AUGUST JR.
--------------------------------
My Mom Says I'm Better Than You

It's 7th grade at the middle school dance and my big crush is there surrounded by friends and giggling . . .her long, blue dress seems to magnify the sparkle of her already piercing green eyes . . . I slowly put one foot in front of the other . . . palms are sweaty, heart is palpitating, just waiting for that perfect moment . . . but there's never really a perfect moment, is there?

JUIA JACKSON
--------------------------------
Man Enough To Be A Girl

Julia hasn't worn a dress since her 8th Grade Graduation in 1977. How hard could it be to buy a wedding gown? Hard. Youtube videos and duct tape are apparently not helping. Now she has to go with the nuclear option: call Mom. What could go wrong?

FRED PITTS
---------------------------------
The California Missions and Race Tour

Summer 2012. Fred is standing in the middle of a California Mission Church. He is with a docent and 3 other visitors. One is an expert on the Catholic Church. One is an expert on the plight of the Native Americans. The third is an expert on . . . everything else. They stare at Fred. Is his fly open? Hair mussed? They have one thing in common. They are all experts on which famous black person Fred resembles.
