On Election Day of this year while the world celebrated a historical moment, LGBT inequality was being written into the California, Florida, Arizona and Arkansas constitutions. In California where LGBT people had enjoyed marriage equality since June our rights were ripped away from us over night.

Since the elections, tens of thousands of people have been pouring into the streets throughout California in protest over the passing of Prop 8. Dallas' Protest is part of a nationwide peaceful day of action against Prop 8. This effort coordinated through the website www.JoinTheImpact.com will take place at exactly the same time this coming Saturday in front of City Halls throughout the country.

Please join us this Saturday, November 15 at 12:30 PM, in front of City Hall for a peaceful protest rally with community speakers.

Let us show California, and the nation, that we will stand united until we have Equality.

Dallas Voice : Transgender Conversation planned with Bishop Robinson

In this article by Ben Briscoe Staff Writer, Dallas Voice "Transgender Conversation planned with Bishop Robinson" Briscoe examines the transitional effect that Bishop Robinson has had on our advocacy and our lives since suggesting dialogue in place of anger. It is continuously challenging to live the exclusivity that we extol our contemporaries to embrace but in its effort lays the rewards. .

Mission Statement
JoinTheImpact.com Mission Statement

In an effort to make a positive impact in the lives of our community, our allies, and even our opposition, JoinTheImpact.com emerged. Our movement seeks to encourage the LGBTQ community not to look towards the past and place blame, but instead to look forward toward what needs to be done now to achieve one goal: Full equality for ALL. We stand for reaching out across all communities. We do not stand for bigotry, for scapegoating, or using anger as our driving force. Our mission is to encourage our community to engage our opposition in a conversation about full equality and to do this with respect, dignity, and an attitude of outreach and education.

JoinTheImpact, as an entity, will not encourage divisiveness, violence, or disrespect of others and we do not approve of this. We do not stand for pointing the finger at one group and placing blame. The LGBTQ community comes in all different colors, creeds, religious beliefs, and political parties. If we allow ourselves to place blame on one community or another, then we are no better than those who oppose us. We will not pit one community against another.

At JoinTheImpact, we are all inclusive. As such, we will continue to encourage debate from all sides of the conversation provided it is civil and respectful. We will encourage our community to not let anger steer the conversation, but with an understanding that anger is a human reaction and we hope that it can be used as a catalyst toward positive change.

Finally, we stand for national unity in the face of opposing forces that have steered the conversation into a state by state issue. We will celebrate our state by state wins, but work as one large entity to help gain these wins and will unite in the conversation against us to plant the seed of change and community.

Sincerely,

The JoinTheImpact Team

The Religious Right Is Neither


Honestly, where does attempts to be "politically Incorrect" become intentionally inflammatory inciting hate and violence? A pair of jeans or $300.00 suit? The word First or Westboro? Where is the demarcation? Perhaps it is neither west or first.
