Affirmation New York Celebrates Pioneer Day

by Patxy Peguero
July 2005

On July 23, Affirmation NYC held its meeting in Central Park, marking Pioneer Day a day early. People came & went as the afternoon passed. In all there were 7 members in the Shakespeare Garden, talking and reminiscing under the hemlock & ash trees on what was a spectacular summer day.

Members were joined by Roman Feeser, who is collecting information for his book about the relationship the Mormon church has with its gay "second-class saints". Roman has also written a play about a gay young man who committed suicide on the steps of the Los Altos, CA stake center in 2000. We look forward to meeting Roman again soon, whose play will start rehearsing soon in New York.

Affirmation NYC's next meeting will be on August 7, at 4:00 pm, and we might have a guest Chris Cormier. For more information, check www.affirmation.org/nyc.
