SPECIAL EVENTS THIS WEEK

===========================

 

****Rally in Raleigh -Please attend Thursday, June 2 · 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm in Raleigh:

Unite to fight SB106 (the North Carolina anti-gay super-DOMA)! The proposed legislation would not only put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the 2012 ballot, it would also prevent private businesses and municipalities in NC from offering domestic partnership insurance benefits and make null and void Domestic Partnership Registries in the three cities in NC that offer them (Chapel Hill, Asheville and Carrboro); basically, it would end all relationship recognition outside of heterosexual marriage. 
Stand with us and let our North Carolina lawmakers know that we refuse to be even further alienated from and discriminated by our government. We are all equal, and it is time our government started treating us as such.
Press release and speaker announcments coming soon!

To All: Please forward the following EQUALITY RALLY IN RALEIGH information on to all within your organizations, post it on your social media sites, upload it on to your web pages and please include it in your publications. Further we need to inform our families, our neighbors, our co-workers, our fellow church members, our neighborhood associations and our fellow community organizational members to contact all North Carolina State Legislators and let them know that Equality for all people is what matters and that we want them to stop the Senate Bill 106 and the House Bill 777, which are the proposed amendments to the North Carolina Constitution defining marriage as being between one man and one woman. We need to make sure the entire population of North Carolina who truly believes in and is working toward EQUALITY for all people, learns about and has the opportunity to schedule to be in Raleigh for this EQUALITY RALLY event on Thursday, June 2, 2011.  The Raleigh GLBT Report supports this RALLY.

Rally in Raleigh

For Equality

On June 2, 2011 from Noon - 2:00 PM

North Carolina based groups Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA) and GetEQUAL NC unite with other groups and individuals to fight SB106 and HB777 (the North Carolina anti-gay super-DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) on June 2, 2011. We will gather at the Halifax Mall at 16 W. Jones Street in Raleigh at Noon.

SB106 and HB777 must be stopped and it is up to LGBT groups, individuals, and allies to do so.  The proposed legislation would not only put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the 2012 ballot, it would also prevent private businesses and municipalities in NC from offering domestic partnership insurance benefits and make null and void Domestic Partnership Registries in the three cities in NC that offer them (Chapel Hill, Asheville and Carrboro); basically, it would end all relationship recognition outside of heterosexual marriage.

According to Jonathan Green, President of SAGA, "In this time of misunderstanding and struggle it is important that there are those who are beacons of light, truth, and understanding and I am standing as one of those beacons and want you to join me and allow the only sovereign to rule you to be reason so that truth can finally take hold and prevail over those who want us to remain unequal so that we can be recognized for what we are, human beings who want and need to be recognized as equal citizens across our wonderful state!"

Angel Chandler, North Carolina State Organizer for GetEQUAL NC, stated "You've heard the saying 'If you are not outraged you're not paying attention', but outrage is easy, action is hard. We have to be willing to do more than sign a petition or send in an email to our representatives. We have to be willing to take action. On June 2cd we will take a stand to let our North Carolina lawmakers know that we refuse to be even further alienated from and discriminated by our government. We are all equal, and it is time our government started treating us as such."

 

Our message to NC legislators: we are your neighbors, your doctors, your lawyers, your teachers, your child care providers, your mothers, your fathers, your sons, your daughters, your brothers, your sisters. We are your constituents. We are your fellow human beings. We deserve more and will no longer settle for less than equality.

An emotionally charged and powerful work, it was commissioned in 2000 by Susan G. Komen for the Cure® as a result of founder and CEO Nancy Brinker's belief that more people would listen to the message if it was delivered through the powerful medium of music. Sing for the Cure had its world premiere in June 2000 and featured poet laureate Maya Angelou as narrator. Today, Sing for the Cure's universal message of hope continues to transcend cultural, language, and political barriers even as a cure is still being sought.           ____________________________  Please consider making a donation to support Sing for the Cure If you cannot attend our performance of  Sing for the Cure, we hope you will consider making a donation in support.
