Dr. Maxwell Anderson, one of the individuals featured in the award winning documentary ‘Southern Comfort’ passed away this afternoon. He was 53.
Dr. Anderson was a compassionate therapist serving a diverse community. His work touched the lives of his patients and their families, and his utilization of self-determination methods helped soften, in some small way, the pathology culture some transgender and queer people experience from the medical profession.
Dr. Anderson will be missed by many. I am incredibly sad, although I never knew him, I’ve seen what good, compassionate and understanding therapists can do for people. He was a rare breed, and I’m glad he got to share some of his life with the rest of us.

Join us as we chat with Damon about effective ways to create change in your life and how to break those guilty chains that tie you down.

Why do some safe sex campaigns fail to change people’s behavior? Isn’t it enough to ask them to just wrap it up?

 Standard Podcast [55:10m]:

How do you fight Bullies? Find out on the Feast of Fools podcast

Bullies! Those awful people who abuse and manipulate you. What makes a person want to be like that? What gives them power? What happens when they grow up?

Not only are a lot of young queer people on the receiving end of this type of abuse, but many of them are also the ones who dish it out. Sometimes it seems the closet cases are the ones that are the most abusive.

Could you be a bully and not know it? Or are you on the receiving end? You might be, but how would you know? Well, along with Jason McVicker, Director of Mental Health Services for the Center on Halsted, we’ll tell you if you are on today’s show.

Jason McVicker, Director of Mental Health Services for the Center on Halsted talks about some gay men's unhealthy obsession with female celebritiesWe’ve got our gay therapist- Jason McVickers from the center on Halsted in Chicago talking about ways you can spot abusive people in your life, and how to start dealing with them head on.

The Chicago Public school system’s proposal of a high school for GLBT teens has everybody up in arms! Should we create a sanctuary for out gay youth or work on educating the entire Chicago Public school district?

Sarah Palin craps in her pantiesAre you smarter than a fifth grader? Republican V.P. Candidate Sarah Palin sure doesn’t seem like it. A leaked video of the now infamous interview with Katie Couric reveals that the Alaskan governor and former beauty pageant contestant couldn’t pass a high school civics course. She knows nothing about the U.S. Supreme court.

Is Britney’s sex tape for real or just a desperate attempt for publicity?

We wish Jason luck as he is leaving the Center next week to work with children at Blue Gargoyle, a mental health facility on in Hyde Park.
