****UNC/Duke Research Initiative on Gay-Parented Families
We are currently seeking volunteer parents to complete a 5 minute online
survey as part of a collaborative research initiative between the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. This initiative has been
developed to address the lack of research on the experiences of lesbian mother
and gay father-headed families. This important and timely research needs volunteer research participants to move forward. We are hoping to recruit a minimum of 100 lesbian mothers and
100 gay fathers in North Carolina. Please help us meet this goal by taking
the survey. Please follow the link below:
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Roger Mills-Koonce (rmk@email.unc.edu) at the Center for Developmental Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill of for more information.

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!

A recent New Yorker article calls Bond "the greatest cabaret artist of (V's) generation" and Out magazine's May 2011 issue claims Bond's act "can be hilarious, heart-wrenching, vulnerable, sardonic, Wiccan, and world-weary all at the same time." Sex, gender and sexuality are foremost themes of the album. Bond is particularly interested in queer, specifically transgendered, identity, which V has embraced in V's transition to the mixed-gender Mx. Justin Vivian Bond. Bond has won Obie, Bessie and Ethyl Eichelberger Awards, been nominated for a Tony Award, been named one of the Top 40 Favorite New Yorkers by Time Out New York and been listed by Time Out London as one of England's 50 Funniest People.
