Friends! Please note the JREF's presence in these three major media outlets this week.
The Guardian: You know our second TAM London is happening this weekend. What you don't know is that The Guardian is live-blogging it. Click here for updates. They've already written this piece, which we love, though we're not sure we're quite so geeky as they suggest. Or, who knows, maybe we are.
PBS: JREF staffer Brandon K. Thorp, along with his partner, occasional Swift contributor Penn Bullock, are featured this month in the PBS documentary series In The States, discussing their exposure of pseudoscientist and anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers. Rekers was the co-founder of the Family Research Council and one of the inventors of “reparative therapy,” which seeks to turn homosexuals into heterosexuals; Thorp and Bullock caught him on vacation in Europe with a male escorted he found on Rentboy.com. (You can see Stephen Colbert's take on the situation here.)
Frieze: A really excellent profile of James Randi appears in this month's Frieze, the gorgeous English design magazine. The writer, George Pendle, gives an overview of Randi's career as acute and concise as any we've seen. You'll need a subscription to view the whole story online, which is unfortunate, though the unfortunate-ness is nicely offset by the really reasonable subscription rates and the fact that the mag's well-written and good looking enough to be more than worth it.
