Liberty Education Forum today announced it will be the exclusive national not-for-profit partner of the Randy Roberts Potts project The Gay Agenda," a one-of-a-kind traveling immersive installation that gives curious viewers a glimpse into the lives of gay Americans and highlights what gay individuals are truly seeking: the ability to live their lives in quiet dignity.




"'The Gay Agenda' highlights, in a very unique and very real way, the fact that gay Americans are no different from anyone else," said Potts, who joined the LEF Speakers Bureau in July of this year. "In that sense, Liberty Education Forum is the ideal national partner for this project—their mission to bring a message of gay acceptance to conservatives and people of faith throughout the country is perfectly in line with the goal of 'The Gay Agenda.' I'm excited they're on-board with this project."




Personally conceptualized by Potts, "The Gay Agenda" is a roving performance piece that uses empty storefronts instead of a stage, featuring Potts and his partner Keaton inhabiting a makeshift living room and engaging in an array of activities popular among gay couples: reading, checking email, cooking dinner, watching television and more. Viewers, who do not interact directly with Potts and Keaton, can observe with their own eyes the uncensored truth of what lies at the heart of the struggle for equal rights among gay Americans: the desire to live in peace.




"There are so many individuals and organizations lobbying, protesting, and rallying for equal rights, but no one is expressing the importance of equality to everyday Americans in personal terms like 'The Gay Agenda' does," stated Liberty Education Forum Executive Director Gregory T. Angelo. "'The Gay Agenda' will bring a message of gay acceptance to people across the country—some who are non-accepting on issues of equality, or ambivalent, or who perhaps have never known or even met a gay person in their lives. 'The Gay Agenda' speaks to them, and I'm proud Randy has chosen Liberty Education Forum as the exclusive national partner for this important initiative."




The Gay Agenda will debut in early 2012 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with additional engagements to be announced shortly.




"The Gay Agenda" is possible only because of the financial backing of individual donors and corporate supporters. Donations in support of "The Gay Agenda" may be made directly through the contributions page on the Liberty Education Forum website (donors should indicate their contribution is made "In Honor of" Randy Roberts Potts).

II: Congrats, Jay and Bryan, on getting to know yet another shiny spirit.

[depfox]

@Artjommm He is a shiny spirit...I as a gay man have delt with my own internal homophobia and its so nice to be able to meet so many good LGBT people I have grown so much since starting Gay Family Values

[sleekcartim]

still shocks & saddens me how many gays think they couldnt have what the lefews have. we have a lot of work to do...still

[depfox]

@sleekcartim We are really working hard to change that...Gay people deserve to have family and love

[bulldawg570]

[depfox]

I love how Randy says being gay is not everything about me just a small percent. Cause its true. it does come back down to who we sleep with. We still wake up get dressed, make breakfast, have coffee run off to work, worry about our loved ones and PAY TAXES!!!! Nice interview. Thanks for sharing. :)

[stoner829]

Just glad Randy survived..so many people did not. What a great guy..Randy you are a hero!

[steeldrago73]

im gonna be crude for a moment.......O the fantasies and starwars derived shananigans this inspired for this single man. thank you immensely, coming from odessa texas, which fits the criteria btw(conservative, small established gay community, college town-midland does too), i have struggled to believe i could have what you have and i am soo jealous of. thank you for showing the world that "we" are normal.

@MEHboi616 Why are you here..?

Who told you being gay is wrong / disgusting?

If you never met those people, will you still be homophobic?

For how long would you foresake your best-friend if he/she came out?

Do you practice giving peaces of your heart to random people?

Are you at peace with yourself...?

Bottom line: If your personality doesn`t make an impact when you`re alive, then no-body will miss you when your not alive. Wishing you all the best in life and beyond buddy =)

[Sambuddy11]

@Itgetsbitter What on earth . . . are you . . . talkin `bou - all I read was a piece on mass destruction from deception and suffering. Look, there is no deception here... and there will be no destruction. But most importantly, Randy and Depfox are actually alleviating the "suffering", not causing it. It`s actually narrow-minded, haughty people like you who cause the destructions in our lives with your decietful message, which often results - in Randy's case - a life of suffering. You are Godless

[Sambuddy11]

You all are so handsome, esp. Randy <3 hahaha ideal hubby =)

[XforeverlongingX]

I'm tired of the innuendos that suggest it does, love you much though depfox

[XforeverlongingX]

Proclaiming a faith in religion does not make you a better person.

[backyardbeachbum]

his transition story is profound and spot on. great interview.

[Yondaime8893]

@Itgetsbitter um... what exactly does this "dangerous path" entail? And please don't give me the cliched alcoholism, sex-addiction, drug addiction prediction (it is really tired). Being gay is nothing more than that- having same-sex attraction. That's it! Any depression that may follow after accepting oneself could only come from the pressure of a society with people like you who promote hateful messages. have a nice life

[Fr4yTheStrings]

great vid :). The 'gay agenda' experiment sounds very interesting :)

[Itgetsbitter]

This tragedy in America being witnessed by all at this time show's more clearly the darkness of sin. To spread lies especially to our youth of this generation that being gay will take the pain and sorrows away. Young people who struggle with same sex attraction or who have accepted being gay will learn quickly of your deceptions. They enter into the devastating and destructive path of homosexuality and experience and suffer it's terror. Only to realize your lies and turn to devour you!
