Miller works as a performance artist, circus director, clown and as the "bearded lady" in one of the only remaining sideshows in America "Circus Amok."

Community Forum on the Proposed “Marriage Amendment”
Political, Biological, Sociological, Theological Perspectives
What are the ramifications and social justice implications of this amendment for all the people of Indiana?
The proposed amendment:
“(a) Marriage in Indiana consists only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This Constitution or any other Indiana law may not be construed to require that marital status, or the legal incidents of marriage be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.”
Helen Boyd, author of the upcoming She's Not the Man I Married, will speak about how the struggles of trans people focus a new and useful lens on both the issues of gender equality and marriage equality.
The transgender rights movement combines aspects of the feminist and gay movements and sits at the crosshairs of the "one man, one woman" kind of logic that has been encouraging people to vote out of fear.
Boyd's marriage to her trans husband serves as a platform for her to explore the nature of identity, gender, and marriage and the way those very private aspects of a life intersect with very public policy.
