‘Forgetting the Many: The Royal Pardon of Alan Turing’ Shines a Light on Untold LGBTQ+ Stories
Forgetting the Many: The Royal Pardon of Alan Turing, the powerful documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rosemarie Reed, opens at Cinema Village in New York City this weekend for a one-week run. The film delves into the life of Alan Turing, the legendary mathematician and cryptanalyst who played a crucial role in cracking Nazi codes during World War II. While Turing's contributions to the Allied victory and his posthumous pardon for his 1952 conviction for "gross indecency" are well known, Reed’s documentary goes further, highlighting the untold stories of the hundreds of other men whose lives were shattered under Britain’s anti-homosexuality laws.

Lies and Truth
Is there any real benefit to hiding our inadequacies, mistakes, or sins? Who does it serve in the end to fill our environment with corrosive lies? Lies have chains that only stretch so far. Once we've reached the end of that chain we are pulled back with a violent whip-lash that leaves us and those within our spheres broken and maimed. What is the true damage in a lie? Is it the power that resides in spoken bonds, or does it rest in denying who we truly are. Can one who is blind to who they truly are ever find a sure place to stand? Why do we lie to our best selves? Is there too much pain? Or is it anticipation? Perhaps we are filled with anxieties of the unknowns of who we truly are? Will we actually like ourselves? Will we be trapped if we look and see, or are we unable to accept our own "un-acceptabilities"? Perhaps there's a notion, or an unspoken pressure, or law from the world that once you've seen yourself you must stay put, slap a sticker label on your forehead, and declare to yourself and the world that this is who you are, and that you require no more looks, time, or reason. In this web of fear it's all to clear that we have hewn the bars of our inward prisons. If the devil cannot keep us from being contented and satisfied with our blindness, then his next course of action will be to convince us that remaining in our assorted ranks and ways will keep us safe, and that any effort to step outside of that norm is dangerous, idiotic, or just not worth the effort. Why did the serpent tell our father Adam and our mother Eve to hide when they could perceive Elohim approaching? Why did he say to take some fig leafs and cover their "nakedness"? Perhaps there was another teaching hidden within the lie communicated by the serpent that was rhetorical? Fear is a powerful motivation to push us to cover our "exposed" places. It seems that the devil was more interested in getting Adam and Eve to fear Elohim to the point of trying to hide themselves from him in a time that they could actually use a councilor and friend- If the devil can win at teaching a false character of God then he does not have to work very hard to convince the sons of Adam, or daughters of Eve to hide from God. There may be a time when we try to hide from our divine self and from God, when our weaknesses or inadequacies are brought into the light. There may even be a time of stepping away, and doing some work so that, like Adam and Eve, we may return to the presence of the divine, where lies disguised as truth cannot be. Walking in the ways of truth- even if it may scourge our pride for a time is much more bearable than continuing to hid and be drown in a flood of lies over time.

My First Love
The sun dappled through the overhang of leaves, creating moving shaded areas on the well used wooden seats of the old library. Aryan, a tranquil kid with a universe of contemplations behind his scenes, was immersed in an exhausted duplicate of "Pride and Bias." His heart beat with an odd musicality, a blend of expectation and apprehension, as he sat tight for her.

Corruption in this day an age
The world is a corrupt place, there is really no doubt about that at this point. The only difference is the extent to which it is permitted, I’ve always known that so it doesn’t surprise me anymore, where the difference really comes in is knowing just how far its extends. For developed countries, it’s mostly found at high levels of the society, with the politicians and the ruling class, while everybody else is kept in this web of lies where they believe there is justice (at least most of the time). But in underdeveloped countries, the corruption is much more permissible, with even the traffic police being openly corrupt, and the small businesses being corrupt.

My Coming-Out Story
I had been on an Interrail trip in 1984 in an attempt to widen my horizons, to try things I never did before, and to demonstrate to my parents, that I wasn't their little boy anymore and could make my own decisions. My planning had nothing to do with my sexuality, but I should soon learn something else!

The Unexpected Mirror
I will never forget the evening when, by pure chance, I stumbled upon a novel that would change the way I see the world. I was in a small neighborhood bookstore, idly browsing the titles on the shelves, when a book literally fell at my feet. It was a love story between two women, written with such delicacy and depth that it immediately struck me.
