(Click on the "Safe Zone" image above to visit the Counseling GLBT site for helpful resources.)

As a proud member of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender (GLBT) community, I definitely know how hard it is to cope effectively with the issues and problems that are unique to our community. I "came out" when I was 17-years-old, and although this was the most liberating event in my life, it was only the beginning of a new journey of on-going self-discovery. I am here as a proverbial "safe zone" to Columbia State Learners who may be struggling with their gender and sexual identity or any Learner who would like more information on issues related to the GLBT community.

If you would to talk or need guidance, feel free to stop by my office on the Columbia main campus in the Clement Bldg. room 131 or on the Lawrence County campus in room 116 to talk. You can also e-mail me at djackson30@columbiastate.edu.

  Dr. Linda Brunton, professor of psychology, is a "Straight ally" and she is also available to speak with GLBT Learners and others who are interested in GLBT issues. Vist her on the Columbia main campus in the Clement Bldg., room 121 or e-mail her at lbrunton@columbiastate.edu

  Additionally, Ms. Lacey Benns, professor of speech, is also a "Straight ally" and is more than welcome to speak to GLBT Learners and others interested in GLBT issues. Visit her on the Columbia main campus in the Hickman Bldg., room 147 or e-mail her at lbenns@columbiastate.edu

I am supporting Mike McWherter for Tennessee Governor. Click on the image below to learn about the issues unique to Tennessee and how McWherter will tackle them.

McWherter's opponent will be Bill Haslam. Click here to learn more about Mr. Haslam.

Whoever you decide to support in the upcoming Tennessee elections (Nov. 2, 2010 - DON'T FORGET!), it is important and it is your civic duty to participate in your democracy and vote. You can't complain, if you do not vote. It's that simple!

If you haven't registered to vote yet, do so ASAP. Click here to be sent to Tennessee's Department of Elections to learn more about the process. It is very easy to register to vote and, again, it is every American's responsibility to do so.

The current egg recall got me thinking about an outstanding documentary I saw called "Food, Inc." I highly recommend that learners watch this film. Click on the video to the right to view a PBS News report on the film's director.

Watch the full episode. See more NOW on PBS.

NOVA, which airs on PBS, is truly one of my favorite science series on television. It's been on for as long as I can remember, delivering high-quality science to the masses. Click the NOVA image to the right to watch many NOVA shows online.
