I have to say this issue is probably one of the best! is month's feature interview is with David-Elijah Nahmod. Da- vid-Elijah Nahmod is a film critic and reporter in San Francisco. His articles appear regularly in e Bay Area Reporter and SF Weekly. You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter. He is currently doing a monthly column in South Florida Gay News titled "If You Could Read My Mind: A PTSD Diary." David developed Post Traumatic Syn- drome Disorder (PTSD) after sur- viving gay conversion therapy as a child and has found that many in the LGBT community suffer from severe, often untreated emotional disorders due to the extreme anti- gay traumas they endured. David's mission is to call for ac- countability among the anti-gay re- ligious organizations that inflict so much harm with such reckless and gleeful abandon. He also wants to urge LGBTs to face the truth about the harm that's been done to us, and about the misguided rage we inflict on each other with the same reckless abandon. Diversity Rules Magazine is pleased to be able to support David's mis- sion. I hope David's interview prompts some readers to take ac- tion and say enough and start to spread a message of tolerance, love and understanding -- especially within our own gay community. ere are a lot of other great fea- tures in the November issue. I hope you find them interesting and feel free to share Diversity Rules Maga- zine with your friends and family. Happy anksgiving! Diversity Rules Magazine PO Box 72 Oneonta, NY 13820 James R.
