GREENFIELD If this were a typical year, cities across the region would be preparing to host events celebrating the local LGBTQ community, such as the annual Franklin County Pride celebration in Greenfield.
But of course, 2021 is anything but typical, and in-person gatherings have been canceled because of the pandemic. In the absence of a celebratory outlet, Greenfield’s Garden Cinemas intends to help fill the void.
Starting Friday afternoon, the curtain will rise on the first-ever “LGBTQIA+ Classic Film Festival,” a six-day event hosted by the Main Street theater featuring critically acclaimed films with LGBTQ themes.
I was at Pappas Seafood on the Gulf Freeway, eating lunch with Jim Henley, when I said something I’ll always regret.
Some in the Houston community will recall Jim as one of the Democrats who tried and failed to unseat Republican congressman John Culberson, before Lizzie Fletcher finally succeeded in 2018. At different times, he was also a Baptist preacher, a community organizer, a coffee farmer, and an elected trustee of the Harris County Board of Education. In between, he spent 20 years teaching at Lanier Middle School, first as a history teacher and then as the speech and debate coach.
