Quote I love: Grey’s Anatomy, when a priest shows up

Posted on by

I was watching Grey’s Anatomy over the weekend (yeah, I DVR all the TV I watch and I’m usually a week, or two, or three behind) and this line seemed to hit it big at my house. Rosie and I loved it.

“You can’t pray away the gay!”

Callie on Grey’s when her dad brings a priest to counsel her about being a lesbian.

I have been fortunate to have a loving, supportive family. My mom’s not out marching in any PFLAG parades, but she loves me and has told me she wants me to be happy. And most importantly to me, she loves Rosie. My heart goes out to all the real life people like Callie who not only have to live with the knowledge that their parents think there is something wrong with them, but also have to live with these types of attacks aimed at changing who they are — suggesting they’re not good enough.

That’s also a huge theme in my book More. Luke’s father wants his son to be a different man, and he’ll do anything to force Luke to behave the way he wants him to. But Luke doesn’t let his father’s hatred destroy him. He doesn’t deny who he is (not for his dad or anyone), but he does grow and become someone who can fall in love again. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m quite proud of his journey.

Anyone else watch Grey’s? Anyone have a personal story to share? Comment or send me an email.

Thanks for stopping by,

I have great news …

I’ve signed a contract with Loose Id to publish my gay erotic romance, More. It’s tentatively scheduled for a February 2010 release. I’m thrilled to be working with Loose Id and my new editor! Here’s a blurb on the book:

For fifteen years Luke Moore has lived by three rules:  stay off his father’s radar, never spend more than a night with any man, and never fall in love again. With one night of explosive sex and two men whom he can’t get out of his head, Luke gets tangled up in more than he ever imagined. Richard and Matthew push him past all his boundaries—both in and out of the bedroom—and now he’s no longer hiding from his senator father; he’s taking him on. And he isn’t just falling for one man; he’s falling for two.

But Luke’s father has his reasons for hating how his son lives, and he’ll do whatever he can to keep Luke away from Richard and Matthew. Even murder.

Can this threesome find a way to make their unconventional relationship last with the world around them trying to pull them apart? And will Luke be able to keep breaking his rules for Richard and Matthew, or will he head back to his familiar way of life just when his new lovers are pulling him close?

Just want to say thanks to all the great writers I’ve met for the invaluable information and encouragement that’s helped me get this far in my journey as a writer. And a huge thank you to my partner, Rosie, for all the support and love on my crazy path to publication. Thanks, hon!!
