CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISM
With all humility, I am proud to call myself a fighter for civil rights. Not that I am great... but that the cause itself is great. There is not, nor has there ever been, a "gay agenda." There is only a civil rights agenda.... It doesn't matter which group is disenfranchised; we must all come together to work for justice and peace. Blessed be, to all who work towards the greater good. My heart is with you always!
As a vegetarian for my whole adult life, I have fought against cruelty to non-humans; as a third degree Wiccan, a Spiritualist,& Unitarian Universalist, I have fought against religious intolerance; and as a proud gay nonbinary homo sapien, I have supported the vast rainbow that is our species. My pronouns are: ze, zis, zim.
I have been (legally) married to Drew Hubbard since 2005. Drew is a "human-like" entity; a digital artist who's work graces these pages, and a long time clinical therapist.
In spite of my failures as a drag queen, (see the bottom of this page), I have written quite a few pieces that do explore the topic. My first selection below is an example. So get your fangs ready, Ron-da Santa-claws: we're going into the deep end of the pool!

Music Theater: Most of my pop songs are very easy to perform, and the keys (and genders for that matter) can be changed at will. As is the case with Cinyfella, there is often a complex, optional ensemble at the end but it can easily be modified,
About half are appropriate for children; the other half are for, shall we say, a more "late night" crowd. Many of them deal with LGBTQAI+++ issues. To see a complete list of my available music theater works please click on one of the dancers to the right: Cindyfella: A Pan-Gender Drag Costume Drama; written with my husband, Drew Hubbard; one hour in 13 numbers; 5 singers and piano, with optional chorus. Please click on Drew's picture to the right to read the libretto and score. |

Choral Music: Allegory with music from my St. Mark Passion, written when I was 17 years old. The video dramatizes a theory proposed by Edmund S. Bourdeaux in "The Death of Pan", That Jesus was a militant rebel who tried to take over the governent. I don't believe this now... I beleive that there is no factual evidence to support the story at all. But, as told, Jesus is a gay man. It caused only minor disturbances when shown... mostly because it showed two men kissing! Please click on Jesus, or John (the disciple whom he loved) to the right to watch Allegory, comlete with the kiss: Symphony/ballets: Clover Cires (my fellow members of the Fag Rag Collective imprisoned for "love that cannot speak its name" & rescued by a lover in drag (masquerading as a nun); The Great Liberator (a woman is captured by the collector, she is freed when she find the memory of a wild woman whom she had met, and they live happily ever after.)

BLOG: My first activist event happened when I was about
5 years old. I saw a terrifying news item about the horrible animal experimentation called vivisection. I wrote a letter to the mayor of NYC. I told him that if this practice didn't stop, I would personally commit suicide. I later found out that my mother had enclosed a note saying that she would make sure that I didn't.
As a child I loved cross dressing. My father had a visit from a fellow choir director, I modeled a lovely golden bathrobe that belonged to my mother. I asked my father's friend: "Isn't this beautiful? He replied that it was. I asked: "don't I look just like The Virgin Mary?" He relied:"Maybe when she was pregnant." I was NOT a tiny child and the fact is, I wanted to be a girl.
Other than my extremely abortive attempt to video Edward II as a one person (me) show, as an adult, I have only appeared twice in drag. On the first occassion, I borrowed my aunt's tiny blue jean skirt to go to a Fag Rag meeting (at least it was tiny on me). My second foray was a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. My hefty 18 year old boyfriend wore a very tasteful blue dress & cowboy boots. (He was very cold that evening. How do fems do it?) I wore patriotic red, white & blue waterproof pants; some sort of weird head gear & stuffed my shirt to make artifical breasts. (What was I thinking?) In the lobby, I was confronted by a very straight cis-male attendant. He was probably looking for something that might be hurled through the air at the movie screen: knives, candles & rolls of toilet paper are traditional. He looked me up & down, & squeezed me on both artifical breasts; whereupon I burst out laughing!
