Summary

Famous and forgotten, they're all our fabulous ancestors.  From Charles Warren Stoddard, the first openly gay San Franciscan, to Felicia "Flames" Elizondo, the exuberant transgender rights advocate, the LGBT community is integrally woven into the fabric of the city's history. Household names like Queen Califia, Charley Parkhurst, Elsa Gidlow, Jose Sarria and Harvey Milk are celebrated worldwide, while Bert LaRose, Mabel Edison and Clarence Lockett are now largely forgotten. Whether '49ers, bohemians, beatniks, boomers, hippies, clones or conformists, their fascinating stories contributed to the development of a vibrant community, many simply by being themselves.  Join Dr. William Lipsky as he recounts their struggles and achievements in the City by the Bay.

    “Take it off. Show your body for the camera.” 
    My boyfriend watches as the straight cowboy stud films my naked, muscular body. This all began when the country boy showed us his guns—his rifles and his biceps. 
    He called us disobedient sissies. He said he could fix us. 
    We fell to our knees for him. He locked us into chastity and began feeding us a diet laced with his seed. 
    He’s reprogramming us. 
    Now he’s our master and we’re his devoted servants. We live to serve straight alpha males.

    After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europe's defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?

    Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. Anxiety Transformed: Prayer that Brings Enduring Change brings together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as the author's personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation.

    Greek mythology is a rich tapestry of stories, deities, and heroes that has profoundly influenced not only ancient Greek culture but also the broader Western literary and artistic traditions. Rooted in the oral traditions of storytelling, these myths served multiple purposes within Greek society, including providing explanations for natural phenomena, reinforcing social norms, and offering insight into the human condition. 
      
    In ancient Greece, mythology was intricately woven into the fabric of everyday life. The gods and goddesses were believed to interact with humans, influencing their fate, guiding their actions, and embodying the ideals and values of society. The Greeks worshiped a pantheon of deities, each representing different aspects of life and the natural world. For instance, Zeus ruled the sky and upheld justice, while Athena symbolized wisdom and warfare, and Demeter represented agriculture and fertility. These gods were not only worshiped in temples but also featured prominently in festivals, rituals, and public ceremonies, reinforcing community bonds and shared beliefs.
