...takeover, TCF persistently claimed that it had not violated Tufts' non-discrimination policy, which protects students from discrimination based upon sexual orientation. TCF argued that it had denied Catalano a leadership position not because she was a bisexual, but rather because she interpreted Scripture on homosexuality in a manner that was inconsistent with the organization's beliefs.

Her warm, funny manner during these anecdotes made the Orpheum seem as intimate as a small club. She engaged the audience with stories that were as intelligent and entertaining as the songs themselves. Where else would a Dar fan find out that in her original vision for "The Christians and the Pagans" (yes, the title says it all), the chorus was to be sung by a giant hall of naked feminists...
