    While countries such as Canada and Belgium have recently legalized gay marriage, the US seems steadfastly locked in the past. Change, Davina Kotulski argues, will only come through organized activism, but the importance of legalized gay marriage remains unclear to many in the GLBT community.

    But the show was canceled, and for years she has spent most of her time watching old videos of Dark Avenger. In the videos time has frozen. She's young, she’s vital, she's super human. Reality bites, though, and her friend's advice to "stop living in the past" is easier said then done since Terry's present mostly sucks on ice. But Terry's life takes a radical turn when an old friend from the past offers her an opportunity to live out her dream – and a remarkable new costume. “In Reruns Selina Rosen introduces us to a world where one woman and her convictions, along with a bit of help from some friends, do make a difference. We’ve all wanted to be, or even pretended to be, a superhero sometime in our life. Terry was lucky enough to play one on television, Dark Avenger, for seven seasons. Years after the series was canceled someone approached her to actually become what she portrayed on TV and Vigilance was born… Selina has a certain natural gift of taking the reader and immersing them into a novel so that the reality of the novel mixes seamlessly with the reality of the reader’s life and they become one. In Reruns we find out what it is like to be a true super hero in a world that’s losing faith, without ever having to actually risk our own necks!” —Stephen Pagel, co-editor of the multiple award winning anthology series; Bending the Landscape
