...ongoing story of ex-gay Larry Houston, a Harvard-employed cook in Annenberg Hall, who was criticized by students late last year for speaking openly about his conversion, is just one more example of the intolerance faced by former homosexuals and lesbians all across this country. Robert Spitzer’s Columbia University study of former homosexuals and lesbians has shown that same-sex attractions can be overcome. Ex-gay organizations such as National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality, Regeneration Books, Evergreen, International Healing Foundation, One by One and Exodus have also...

...homosexual pressure campaigns that mischaracterized ex-gay speech as promoting discrimination, Detroit’s three major television networks rejected ads featuring ex-gay men. Prominent ex-gay author Richard Cohen was accused of discriminating against homosexuals when he released his new book Coming Out Straight. And now Larry Houston. The list is endless because every day brings new hostile acts against the ex-gay community.

In the 1940s and '50s, when Faurer roamed the streets with his 35-mm camera, New York was already a cyclotron for every human impulse. The saintly and the unsanitary spun around at high speed. In his pictures the city was a place of immigrant bustlers. Raw bloodlines howl from their faces. The streets were full of plump, sexy cars, carnal Fords and pontoon-fendered Buicks. By some reports...

Faurer was 84 when he died last March--too soon to see this show, which was lovingly assembled by Anne Wilkes Tucker, the museum's curator of photography. It remains in Houston through April 14, then moves to Andover, Mass., San Diego, Chicago and Philadelphia--though, oddly, not to New York City. In the exhibition catalog Louis Faurer (Merrell; 208 pages; $65), Tucker notes that Faurer is one of the "missing links" between the Depression-era documentary photography of Walker Evans and the darker moods and more ragged manner of Robert Frank's great 1958 book The Americans. That...

Okay, but it's a locality with a really busy airport. The Indian wedding of the title may be an arranged marriage accompanied by Bollywood-style singing and dancing, but the groom is an engineer who lives in Houston. Extended family fly in from Muscat and Melbourne, while the striving, fast-talking wedding planner keeps up a mobile-phone patter with his stock-market-mad mother. Nair insists this world is Indian - and, more to the point, Punjabi and New Delhi - to its core. "It's a film made at my dining table," she says. "The Prada miniskirt...
