Action Alert
National Coalition for Sexual Freedom

Support the Holiday Inn Worthington, the Host Hotel for Winter Wickedness

Please make a phone call now to support the Holiday Inn Worthington, the host hotel for Adventures In Sexuality’s (AIS) Winter Wickedness Event taking place February 6-8th. The religious extremist group, Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, along with a local religious radio station in the Columbus, Ohio, area are running a smear campaign against this pansexual BDSM event.

Peter LaBarbara of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality calls the event “a freakish sadomasochistic perversion-fest” and urges people to call the hotel’s corporate headquarters to pressure them into canceling “for the sake of decency and public health.”

Bob Burney, a religious extremist Talk Radio DJ, devoted an entire segment of his show slamming Winter Wickedness and attempting to link the event with non-consensual and criminal activities. He urged his listeners to call and mount a campaign against the hotel. (Tuesday, Part 3 starting at 10 min 42sec)

It will only take a minute for you to help! It doesn’t matter where you live or if you’re not going to attend this event. Please call the Intercontinental Hotels Group Corporate Customer service line at 800-621-0555, then press option 1, then option 5, and thank them for not discriminating against groups, and for being willing to face minor adversity for the sake of our freedom.

You can also call the Holiday Inn Columbus-Worthington today at 614-436-0700 – they’ll be very glad to hear a friendly voice to counter the hatred of the religious extremists.

Suggested points to make:

1. Thank you for upholding the Fair Accommodations Act and choosing not to discriminate against legal events.

2. Please don’t let a small number of religious extremists manipulate you by drumming up fear with their misinformation campaigns.

3. There are over 200 weekend-long BDSM events that take place every year in America – we bring in a lot of revenue in these hard times. We like to stay at hotel chains where we have been welcomed when we’re traveling on personal or business travel.

4. Organizers of BDSM events such as Winter Wickedness at The Holiday Inn comply with state and local laws prohibiting public sexual intercourse and other forms of sexual intimacy. Demonstrations, lectures and discussion groups as well as dinners and evening parties compose the variety of offerings to guests, nothing different from any of the other hundreds of conventions hosted by your franchisees on a weekly basis.

5. Thank you for standing strong against hate and ignorance.

Please pass this on to your friends to call now!

We went to see Equus and we got to sit on stage.  Cheap seats, very close, but a bit uncomfortable (I’m getting old.)

I really liked the ponyboys: how they were outfitted and how they moved.

Afterward the Daniel Radcliffe groupies waited for him to come out the stage door.  It was cold.  We headed to Junior’s.

It saddens me to see this report about Israel and the West Bank, but it is important that the truth comes out. CBS is now under attack by the anti-Peace pro-Israel network for showing America the truth. 60 Minutes needs to be supported for providing this coverage.

My friend, Tim Starkey, Mr. Boston Leather 2009, is hosting BOOTCAMP on February 28 at the Boston Ramrod.  It’s a half-day hands-on Bootblack Training session open to all.

Congratulations to Graylin Thorton!  He won the Leather Leadership Award at Creating Change.

I really really want to see Coraline!  I love the website!  Can’t wait to see the movie!

I was in Phoenix last weekend for Southwest Leather Conference.  It is a very different event.  The workshops, and the event itself, has a major focus on Master/slave relationships and Spirituality.  I taught two classes and I went to three great classes: Electronic Stapling with Master Z of Dallas, Blood Splatter Play with WhipMaster Bob ad Bootpig and The Good, The Bad and the Poly with Allena Gabosch.  I played a little bit.  I was impressed by the four couples competing for the Southwest Master/slave contest.

The highlight of the event for me was the Dance of Souls.  It was a huge hook pull and ball dance.  I went as a witness.  Now, a witness doesn’t just sit there, unless they want to.  I danced along and had a great time.  There were seven drummers and they played non-stop for 4 hours.  It was pretty incredible.

I don’t have many photos from the weekend.  They had a strict camera policy.  Here’s one from dinner out with Allena Gabosch, Spike and teresa.

You know its a good place to eat when you see all the pickup trucks in the parking lot.
