Discrimination is Unacceptable

Every Friday from 6:30-7pm there will be an anti-discrimination rally at the Liberty Pole (intersection of main st and east ave) in downtown Rochester.

This rally started as a reaction to the Gay Marriage Bans, Single Person Adoption Ban, and Affirmative Action Ban in the 2008 Ballot Initiatives across the country. The first rally brought together 19 people.

If each Friday we take the responsibility bring a few more people, then we will grow to a critical mass. Silence is not an option any longer. Together we can protest a culture that translates the fear of difference into prejudice.

Nov. 7 Rally for Change

I am excited for the possibility of change. My hope for the newly elected
officials, Obama and the countless democrats, conflicts with my frustrations
about the ballot initiatives that banned both
affirmative action and gay marriage. However, if anything, it motivates me to
face the very difficult challenges that lie ahead. Racism and homophobia have
the same root of prejudice that leads to injustice. Fear of the different must
be combatted in every way possible.

Indy TV #13 Rebecca Newberry on Queer Politics and GAGV Projects

This week on Indy TV Rebecca Newberry, special projects coordinator from Gay Alliance of Genesee Valley (GAGV), joins us. She discusses two of special projects that GAGV has taken on, Campus Out and a Queer Homeless/ Runaway documentation project, as well as many other issues.

On the use of the word "queer" Rebecca explains: " For older folks in the LGBT community the word "queer" stimulates this really uncomfortable negative response, because it was a hate directed word and it is a word that is used to insult, to hurt members of the LGBT community. However, its really been reclaimed over the past ten years or so by youth, in a way thats an umbrella term to describe different orientations, different identities in a way that's inclusive. So we joke about always adding more letters to this LGBT…A…I thing, now we're, young people, are starting to use, the word queer to be all inclusive and not have to spell everything out all the time."
