Just like you?

Sometimes we look at each other and all we see is differences. But the reality is, we have more in common than one might think.

No matter what clothes you put on, if you wear makeup or not, we all came into this world naked, made up of mostly water, and when we leave it we all turn into dust.

You may be black, white, yellow, brown, purple or other but if you send your picture or video about equal rights to humans4equality@gmail.com they will be posted here for all the world to see. Share your thoughts today

LGBT and Ally Town Hall Meetings

On December 6th there was a town hall meeting held at Arizona State University, for LGBT and Allies in Arizona. When I arrived, there was a panel of various people in Arizona representing a range of organizations working towards equal rights in this state, and in the country.

There were then group breakout sessions on various topics. I wish I could have attended them all. I did however attend a brainstorming session lead by Norma and Mary from the ACLU, on how to engage our allies, and later one on Transgender Inclusion, where we discussed current issues that affect the transgender portion of the community, and how groups can better include the T in community events.

Afterwards people split off into various groups for dinner and discourse, which was followed by quite a few of us meeting up at Cash Inn Country to celebrate a community member's birthday, and to donate canned goods to the Grand Canyon Sisters for The Joshua Tree Feeding Program, where I snapped this picture of Novice Sister Inga and her words about equal rights.


How are you working in your city to reach a time of equal rights for all? Please send in information, pictures, videos, and anything you wish to share about equal rights to humans4equality@gmail.com and keep an eye out for them here.

Come back tomorrow for more pictures, words and videos .

World AIDS Day

Monday December 1st was World AIDS Day where we honor those who have died due to AIDS related illness, and spread hope for a better future. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence participated in a myriad of events, but I caught up with some of the Grand Canyon Sisters and their friends at Red Ribbon BINGO where Sister Odora held a beautiful ceremony, HIV and Syphilis tests were provided, and of course many rounds of Sisterly BINGO were played. What better place to find humans for equal rights!
