NOTES FROM ALL OVER
Thank you for your coverage for my upcoming show
Lock Up Your Sons And Daughters in Houston [“Film
Festival Opens May 29,”April 2003]. I can
hardly wait! Aurora rocks, man!
Bill Taylor
Vancouver, British Columbia
Editor’s Note: Aurora Picture Show will
screen Taylor’s satirical film on June 5
and 6 during the Houston Gay & Lesbian Film
Festival. Check out more movies in the film festival
program guide, included in this issue.
Just in case you don’t remember, I am the
person in Denver to whom you sent a copy of the
April 2002 issue of your magazine [for the articles
“O Pioneers!”]. Thank you so much.
It has been an enormously helpful resource—plus
that, I have simply enjoyed it!
I am a female-to-male transgender person and am
going to be transitioning on the job, here in
Denver. My company is under contract here, though,
and is actually headquartered down there in Houston.
It’s a small company, and relatively young.
This week, I talked to my boss; she then spoke
with our HR manager and another supervisor. Everyone
is handling it very professionally and is supportive.
It’s completely new, though, to our HR manager.
I therefore wanted to ask a small favor.
The articles featuring Sara Rook’s transition
at Shell Oil were especially helpful, and with
your permission I’d like to share them with
the management of my company.
Thank you again. It sounds like Houston has a
great community, and it buoyed my spirits to encounter
that on the phone with you, across all the miles.
Frank Lyon
Denver, Colorado
Editor’s Note: Naturally, we encouraged
Frank to share the articles with anyone who can
facilitate his transition.
I recently came across your site while looking
for more information on Matt Cavenaugh, the up-and-coming
star of Urban Cowboy [“Swing & Twang,”
February 2002]. Matt and I went to college together
and I would be very interested in knowing how
I could obtain the publication he was in. Thanks
in advance

CORRECTIONS
The article “What’s in the Bag?”
in the April issue included incomplete information
regarding carry-on luggage. The author, Kim Gustavsson,
clarifies that a traveler may carry on one piece
of luggage, restricted by most airlines to a maximum
weight of 40 pounds. A traveler may also have
a second carry-on item, such as a purse, backpack,
or briefcase, of about 7 pounds (and not more
than 10 pounds).
