Gay Into Straight America will be continuously updating and adding events as we travel throughout the country.  Only upcoming events are listed below; events that have taken place drop off this page.

In addition to specific events, much of our journey will consist of day-to-day interactions, as we travel and create authentic connections with people.  It is called the "attractor factor" and it happens "easily and naturally" as we remain open to attracting those who are wrestling with their understanding about GLBT persons, or those who are wrestling about being a GLBT person and fully accepting their authentic self.

Looking for examples of this attractor factor?  Following are two.

The opportunity to visit eastern Washington will be punctuated by an opportunity to visit Lars Clausen, the Lutheran minister, who recently finished his 5 weeks journey, Straight Into Gay America.com.  It will be good to hear first-hand accounts of his stories and share a meal with his family.

Additionally, we plan to visit, Wenatchee, WA.  When we were in Chellan in June, we met a wonderful family from Wenatchee, who invited us to visit. There were four of them:  a mother (Mrs. Charap), her daughter (Lorrie Charap), her son and his wife and baby (Bryan & Melissa Charap; the son had come in to visit from California).  We first chatted with them at the Vin du Lac Winery. and then saw them again at Tsillan Cellars winery.  Mrs. Charap invited us to visit their town on our journey, and attend their church, Trinity United Methodist Church.  So, here we come!
