FOF #1277 – My Mom’s Message to Parents of Gay Teens – 10.22.10

Fausto Fernós — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 07:51:40 +0000

It’s not easy being a parent, and if your child comes out as gay, you’re often at odds on how to react and what to do.

On today’s show my mom, Patricia Fernós joins us to take a look at the powerful movement to bring comfort and support to young LGBT people everywhere, and what parents can for their children when they do come out.

Listen as Fausto’s mom tells embarassing stories on how she knew Fausto was gay and how she bought a book to try to cure him with dubious results.

FOF #1259 – Best Friends with Gay Jesus – 09.27.10

Fausto Fernós — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 10:13:19 +0000

The gay passion play Corpus Christi, by Tony Award Winning playwright Terrence McNally, is one of the most controversial tellings of the “Greatest Story Ever Told.”

Taken in May of 1957, my mom Patricia Fernós (right) with her arm around Terrence McNally in Corpus Christi, Texas

The play combines the story of Jesus with Terrence McNally’s own high school experience growing up in the conservative town of Corpus Christi, Texas.

What you may not know is that my mom Patricia Riddick-Fernós was close friends with Terrence in high school and even went on a dates with him. The character of Patricia Rudd in Corpus Christi is based on her.

I recently had the pleasure of introducing the play here in Chicago as part of the Pride Films and Plays series of The Great Plays of Terrence McNally

Join us as we talk to my mom Patricia over the phone about the play Corpus Christi, and her lifelong friendship with the Tony Award winning playwright Terrence McNally.

Plus all the hot news:

The Gay Black Pope of Atlanta, the Rev. Eddie Long in tender embrace with Pres. George W Bush

Ann Coulter gets paid to insult an audience of conservative gays.

Rev Eddie Long, the gay black pope of Atlanta feels he’s under attack and is going to fight the accusations that he coerced sex from young men. Although he denies it, he must have supplied it, because he isn’t touting his innocence either.

Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, bad news- HIV infection in the U.S. is on the rise with dudes who have sex with dudes.

And Katy Perry fumbles on Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live.
