"Franklyn "Frank" Schaefer is a German-American author and an LGBTQ advocate. He was formerly an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church. Schaefer established a popular Internet site for the support of Christian educators and ministers, a forum for the discussion and exchange of resources, called Desperate Preacher's Site, in 1996. Defrocking In 2013, he was tried by a United Methodist court for officiating at his son's same-sex marriage. He was defrocked on December 19, 2013, when he refused to uphold the Book of Discipline in its entirety, which would have meant to denounce same-sex marriage rights. Speaking engagements and activism Following his defrocking, Schaefer became a speaker and activist. Although he was reinstated by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Committee on Appeals on June 26, 2014 (which was upheld by the Judicial Council on October 25, 2014), he continues to advocate for human rights while also working in a new United Methodist parish in Isla Vista, California.

In September 2014 MonkeyParking announced plans to launch in Santa Monica. The city's parking administrator was critical of the app, comparing it to "a street bum [who] stands on a space, waves someone in and asks for a tip". Apps including MonkeyParking have been banned in Boston. A Boston transportation planner said that the apps were doing a "great thing" in bringing more private supply into the public market, giving the example of a church parking lot which could be used by commuters during the week, but that such services "should not be taking a public good and selling it on the private market".
