My first guest is an actor and ally, Benjamin Farmer, who starred in the lgbt film, "The Falls" as a young mormon missionary, who finds he is unexpectedly attracted to his mission partner in rural Oregon.  Ben & his wife have moved from Oregon to NYC to pursue their acting dreams and he is going to tell us all about it.

My next guest had the courage with a friend from school to co-found the first Gay/Straight Alliance, at his high school right in the middle of the Bible Belt state of Tennessee.  Along with his own personal coming out story of hardship, Josh Dailey is going to tell us about the negativity he experienced in his school from not only fellow students, but their parents, and one in particular that even created a Facebook Page decrying their GSA.

Finally, I welcome back one of my favorite guests, Kevin Hogan, who has created the Healing Stigma Program.  After falling in love with his story and his purpose during his first interview on the Left of Str8 Show, I knew I had to find some sort of project to work on with Kevin, and this Thursday, we launch our new radio program right here on Blog Talk Radio, Healing Stigma on Left of Str8 Radio
