OutFront Minnesota E-news Thursday, February 10th,
2005 Contents
In Minnesota . . . FairnessCounts In honor of Freedom to Marry week, be counted among the fair-minded Minnesotans who support the civil rights and inherent dignity of Minnesota’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens and our families. Please sign our new online petition and forward it to at least five fair-minded friends, family members or co-workers. It’s critical we reach beyond the people who regularly hear from us and engage new allies. Let them know why it’s important to you that they sign. It only takes a minute to help us remind Minnesota Legislators that in Minnesota . . . FairnessCounts! Buster UpdateOur friend Senator Scott Dibble sent us a letter which the Minnesota Family Council has sent to legislators. It asks them to discontinue state support for TPT "because of its deliberate effort to propagandize unsuspecting, impressionable young children."Take Action!
The Wild PartyWhen first published in 1928, Joseph March’s poem The Wild Party, about a night of debauchery in the life of a vaudeville dancer, became a "scandalous" success and was promptly banned in Boston. The poem was recently adapted into an award-winning musical that will debut in the Twin Cities this March.The current Lavender Magazine cover story proclaims The Wild Party “a scorching, decadent, wickedly written, and determinedly naughty narrative…” This is a show you can’t miss! Please join us on March 13 for a special performance to benefit OutFront Minnesota. Love the theater, and want to help OutFront? Become a row captain and help sell tickets. Email lmccarty@outfront.org for more information. justFair Lobby Day is going to be special this year......because YOU volunteered to work with us! April 7th will be our third straight year of record turnout for our justFair Lobby Day, and we need to have a very large force of volunteers deployed to make sure everyone in attendance has a great experience. Whether you can work for 2 hours or all day, we can put your time and talents to good use. Ours is the largest Lobby Day at the State Capitol, and in one day we are able to make an impact that resonates throughout the hallways, offices and committee rooms of the Capitol. None of this is even remotely possible without the help of our volunteers. From registering attendees to bringing groups of constituents to visit with their legislator, our volunteers make it happen at the Capitol. We will be having a Lobby Day volunteer orientation at the Capitol on a Saturday prior to April 7th. Be a part of our big day, sign up to volunteer! inside OutFront…an insider’s view of the day-to-day work of OutFront Minnesota… This month OutFront Minnesota’s Executive Director, Ann DeGroot, will be a featured keynote speaker at the Midwest Bisexual, Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Ally College Conference.
