Sonnie
I'm a resident of Southern California, married to my wife for almost 20 years--legally for almost four. I'm an LGBT activist; I was on my first panel in 1974, and have served on the boards of a number of organizations, done a lot of public speaking and writing, and mostly try to be a positive example of being a queer Christian in my daily life. I'm an avid photographer and a mediocre golfer. I love to travel. Oh, and I'm a ten-year Stage IV colon cancer survivor.
