Reinventing Our Culture Through Relationships

Hopefully, by now, you've been to my new site at www.catalystLB.org. The vision for the organization is to reinvent the GLBTQ culture in Long Beach, CA over the next 30 years as one that embraces meaningful relationships, community partnership and resident ownership of the city.

I wrote an article on the first part of this vision unpacking what I mean by "embracing meaningful relationships". I thought that you might like to read it:

"Reinventing Our Culture Through Relationships"

As always, I appreciate your feedback. Does the article translate to other parts of the country? Other countries? Does it come across patronizing? Too naive?

On one level, it seems pretty elementary. But on the other hand, I think it's something that many of us aren't conscious about - much less intentional. I guess all i'm trying to do is speak into our local culture to hopefully inspire us in a direction as a community.

Thanks! =)
