The rally was jointly organized by All Out & the Peter Tatchell Foundation. It was one of 13 Speak Out rallies in cities worldwide from New York to Sao Paulo, Berlin, Bangalore & Taipei. Peter Tatchell stated, “This Global Speak Out is in solidarity with Russia’s beleaguered LGBT+ community; to show that they are not alone or forgotten. We salute them. Russia’s decision to label the ‘international public LGBT+ movement’ as extremist has led to a wave of repression. A woman was jailed for wearing rainbow earrings. Gay venues have been raided by police armed with semi-automatic weapons, with attendees being insulted, shoved, photographed, made to lie face down on the floor & then arrested. The rainbow flag has been declared a forbidden symbol & already people have been fined for posting it on social media. The new law applies retrospectively to past displays of the rainbow flag. A person found guilty of displaying extremist group symbols faces up to 15 days in detention for the first offence & up to four years in prison for a repeat offence. Participating in, or financing, an extremist organization is punishable by up to 12 years in prison. LGBT+ support groups have had to go underground to avoid arrest. The situation for LGBT+ people within Russia has reached a critical point, with many fearing worse to come. Facing increased danger, it has become too dangerous for many LGBTs to remain in Russia. Some have fled overseas & more are preparing to leave.” <div><a href="https://www.petertatchellfoundation.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway Performs With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-34278739520333499542024-03-15T09:51:00.001-04:002024-03-17T10:58:00.749-04:00SAGE Adds Two Fab New Board Directors <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmiWKBjYN3ZYTSZBqKXmm7R4LhEBrqraaXX6eKra2HUH9FygFmNPioHRyNFd_MTLb_mHRLBajddXwNVwnYSSHvoZsKlUz97T-J-67aye0Xfoj46_-zSLXpYumgGzJwbPv3qyDkGRXnfszUwixuLbAjFT5MZI0gSrF1Ak_1vL9ofDwC1desao9BZkce6w/s1000/sage24.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmiWKBjYN3ZYTSZBqKXmm7R4LhEBrqraaXX6eKra2HUH9FygFmNPioHRyNFd_MTLb_mHRLBajddXwNVwnYSSHvoZsKlUz97T-J-67aye0Xfoj46_-zSLXpYumgGzJwbPv3qyDkGRXnfszUwixuLbAjFT5MZI0gSrF1Ak_1vL9ofDwC1desao9BZkce6w/w400-h400/sage24.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>SAGE announced that Grant Ginder & Lee Coccaro-Sider have been added to its national Board of Directors bringing their wealth of knowledge & dedication to SAGE’s mission of enhancing the lives of LGBTQ elders everywhere.

I have dedicated much of my life’s work to fighting for better HIV/AIDS services. It is so rewarding to see members of our community now enjoying a long life & becoming elders. It’s a joy that I can continue to advocate for them in this next stage of life.” Founded in 1978 SAGE is the world’s largest & oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ older people.

It includes those who are further marginalized due to their characteristics or status & addresses that trans people are a diverse group of individuals with differing experiences, identities & views. Commissioner Dunja Mijatović stated, “Realizing the rights of trans people is a matter of applying human rights equally to everyone & states have the primary responsibility to lift the barriers trans people are facing in exercising their human rights. Anti-gender & anti-rights narratives ultimately undermine the rights of everyone, but their focus on so-called traditional norms around sex, gender & expression is particularly destructive of the rights of trans people. The greater visibility & awareness of trans people at all levels of society & the significant progress made in providing better legal protection & recognition of the human rights of trans people across Europe, contrast with the shockingly high rates of discrimination, violence & insecurity trans people experience in their daily lives. There is no such thing as granting ‘special’ rights & realizing the human rights of trans people does not undermine the rights of others. Human rights are universal: they apply equally to everyone.” The report covers a range of issues such as non-discrimination, violence, family law, healthcare, legal gender recognition, asylum, employment, conversion practices, education & poverty & housing. It further addresses the rights & interests of trans children & youth in various settings, the recognition & protection of non-binary people & interconnections with gender expression. <div><a href=" https://www.coe.int/en/web/commissioner/"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-57703952673119130582024-03-13T08:15:00.002-04:002024-03-13T13:27:31.040-04:00Don’t Say Gay or Trans Law In Florida<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7EFVl_9Ep1Rwfh9sXDqf48zoE_VQ8N0wwQ2ao9DrtoZbQP4AiLhj-39wa7TZ4OqVTZNgjVumWCdacBEeEzFHqyhprDpci3NH1XjfPbPdIxQUy1niXGY1RTfUSLYnVEhiEcc-x-kDuKt6Bn9hOWm0L1B8Wp_EpXW-a-DBevS_6H6dF9a8mJ5p91h0nU0/s1021/Florida4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1021" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7EFVl_9Ep1Rwfh9sXDqf48zoE_VQ8N0wwQ2ao9DrtoZbQP4AiLhj-39wa7TZ4OqVTZNgjVumWCdacBEeEzFHqyhprDpci3NH1XjfPbPdIxQUy1niXGY1RTfUSLYnVEhiEcc-x-kDuKt6Bn9hOWm0L1B8Wp_EpXW-a-DBevS_6H6dF9a8mJ5p91h0nU0/w400-h391/Florida4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>LGBTQ leaders applaud the historic settlement challenging the constitutionality of Florida’s Don’t Say Gay or Trans (Parental Rights in Education) law. The two-year lawsuit ended dismantling most of the dangerously vague provisions that enabled school districts to restrict representation of LGBTQ people in curriculum, policy & personal conversation. Melanie Willingham Jaggers GLSEN Executive Director stated, “This settlement is a powerful testament to the tireless efforts of LGBTQ+ advocates who refused to back down in the face of discriminatory legislation. By dismantling the vague & harmful provisions, we've effectively turned the tables on those who sought to erase the identities of trans & non-binary students, parents, guardians & teachers. Though the fight isn't over, this agreement is a crucial step forward in protecting LGBTQ+ individuals in educational settings.” Rae Leiner, Field Director, National LGBT Task Force concluded, “The settlement of the challenge against the 'Don’t Say Gay or Trans' law in Florida is a welcome & life-saving development & a win for the people of Florida. This decision is the direct result of activist and community efforts to fight harmful & discriminatory laws. These attacks were inflicted by elected officials & far-right extremists who value their own political capital over the lives of LGBTQ people, people of color, & other marginalized groups. The win comes out of the testimony of hundreds of brave young people, organizers, activists & community members, from countless protests in the streets, from innumerable challenging conversations in living rooms. Advocates spent countless hours making sure Florida voters would see the real-life impact of this legislation would look during their lobbying season & their hard work paid off & we can now make clear that LGBTQ people, our lives & our history, will not be erased."<div><a href="https://www.thetaskforce.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-35352912407200525182024-03-12T08:23:00.000-04:002024-03-12T08:23:49.604-04:00Gay Activist David Mixner Rest In Power<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNXMSTEDbuJMuCicSVln292Fa-trwftf3DRfdVS2LrMU89-B_3yhWC6do67d5O8tZV-ksMspBe3FLOJNEtdMTJ4x65w2JvvSjRAtBHyW-lzs7MvU405sCCZCpv7R8WuMp0dLsqbjBTDKbqtvG-HIh4ZeBpsWSSc8EnnAc9cO7AFffwBg5tkN9NW3tXoQ/s899/mixner1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="899" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNXMSTEDbuJMuCicSVln292Fa-trwftf3DRfdVS2LrMU89-B_3yhWC6do67d5O8tZV-ksMspBe3FLOJNEtdMTJ4x65w2JvvSjRAtBHyW-lzs7MvU405sCCZCpv7R8WuMp0dLsqbjBTDKbqtvG-HIh4ZeBpsWSSc8EnnAc9cO7AFffwBg5tkN9NW3tXoQ/w400-h400/mixner1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>So sad to hear of the passing of Gay Activist David Mixner. He was a force to be reckoned with in the advancement of our LGBTQ equality. I didn’t know him personally beyond our Facebook friendship but always appreciated his input on our stories & podcasts. Mayor Annise Parker, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund President & CEO stated, “Today, we lost David Mixner, a founding father of LGBTQ+ Victory Fund & our movement for equality. David was a courageous, resilient & unyielding force for social change at a time when our community faced widespread discrimination & an HIV/AIDS crisis ignored by the political class in Washington, DC. In 1987, David joined one of the first HIV/AIDS protests outside the Reagan White House, where police wore latex gloves because of the stigma & misinformation around HIV/AIDS. He was arrested, along with 64 others & made national headlines, when being an out person could lead to harassment, violence or worse. But David was undeterred… In 1991, he joined other activists to launch a new organization, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, that exclusively supported LGBTQ+ candidates. David served with Lynn Greer as a founding board co-chair. With support for candidates underway, his vision of a government & democracy representative of its people expanded beyond elections & moved to ensure we were represented in political parties & presidential administrations as well. He pushed the presidential campaign of Bill Clinton to be inclusive of gay people & was asked to join the campaign’s National Executive Committee – the first time an out LGBTQ+ person held a public facing presidential campaign role. When President Clinton won, David launched Victory’s Presidential Appointments Program, pushing the administration to appoint LGBTQ+ people to key political positions. That work continues to this day…” (Portrait by Christopher Oakley)

Republicans had filed 22 of the most extreme anti-LGBTQ bills the state had ever seen including bills attacking the existence of transgender people, expanding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” workplace policies, abortion bans with no exception for rape or incest, banning pride flags & symbols & much more. However 21 of the 22 bills were either stopped or neutralized. The only bill that did pass was Stop WOKE Teacher Training (HB 1291) which is very likely unconstitutional. Geoff Wetrosky, HRC Vice President of National Campaigns stated, “Despite years of relentless attacks & dehumanizing rhetoric, LGBTQ+ people & our allies have never given up the fight for Florida & we are shifting the momentum. People across the state showed up by the thousands to speak out & push back against anti-LGBTQ+ bills; & they are to thank for pushing back the tide of hateful & discriminatory policy. The fight to free Florida from the grip of Governor DeSantis’ devastating & extreme agenda of government censorship & intrusion into people’s lives is far from over & the devastation he & his allies have caused will last long after these politicians are gone. But the tide is turning. Perhaps the anti-LGBTQ+ fever in Tallahassee is beginning to break. The people will prevail." The defeat of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation was driven by the tireless advocacy of Equality Florida & LGBTQ & allied Floridians who have persevered through years of anti-LGBTQ+ policy attacks & dehumanizing rhetoric. <div><a href="https://www.eqfl.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-24748439904505510692024-03-08T08:13:00.000-05:002024-03-08T08:13:19.121-05:00Celebrating International Women's Day <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdbR84HBHoobQ717yyosaBsMQZbWp-wAsLn_lsInOc4V-QpbwHQRcZKzteQviqMERFeUVyBYHLi2d9972I_xGLxJ_GUXSViN8x9v-0WyFFC50M0OSJx-MS-cJYm1uEt0KCJqY4ZvgBIb8bk8njgaUKCHzqj9otR-U7vv6trs73sOsdZZeNkLmHV2XAzQ/s1050/women24.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1047" data-original-width="1050" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdbR84HBHoobQ717yyosaBsMQZbWp-wAsLn_lsInOc4V-QpbwHQRcZKzteQviqMERFeUVyBYHLi2d9972I_xGLxJ_GUXSViN8x9v-0WyFFC50M0OSJx-MS-cJYm1uEt0KCJqY4ZvgBIb8bk8njgaUKCHzqj9otR-U7vv6trs73sOsdZZeNkLmHV2XAzQ/w400-h399/women24.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>International Women's Day (IWD) celebrated on March 8th was originally called International Working Women's Day. The earliest Women’s Day observance in the USA was held on February 28th 1909 in New York in remembrance of the 1908 strike of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. Every year there’s a theme & this year it’s “Inspire Inclusion”. We must inspire others to understand & value women's inclusion in order to create a better world. The International Women's Day campaign theme Inspire Inclusion embraces the importance of diversity & empowerment in all aspects of our society. It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes & create environments where all women are valued & respected. Inspire Inclusion encourages everyone to recognize the unique perspectives & contributions of women from all walks of life including those from marginalized communities especially our LGBTQ community. One of the key pillars of Inspire Inclusion is the promotion of diversity in leadership & decision-making positions. Women especially those belonging to underrepresented groups continue to face barriers when seeking leadership roles. By championing inclusion organizations & communities can harness the full potential of diverse perspectives leading to better decision-making & innovation. Gloria Steinem stated, "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." For starters in this country let’s take the challenge & pass the Equality Act so women would finally receive equal pay & stop this insanity of women making 77 cents on a dollar & women of color make 67 cents. It up to us to demand equality for all.

In response to recent comments by Texas Governor Greg Abbott dismissing claims of “systemic” discrimination against LGBTQ individuals the Normal Anomaly Initiative announced the release of 200 free tickets for their community to attend. Ian L. Haddock, Founder & Executive Director stated, “I believe in the power of unity & celebration as a force for change. In the heart of Texas, our queer voices & vibrant celebrations will not be silenced. Normal Anomaly Initiative stands firm, providing a platform for the LGBTQIA+ community to thrive. The Black Queer Advancement Festival is not just an event; it’s a statement of resilience, empowerment & our unwavering commitment to creating a world where every individual is free to be their authentic selves. The oppression of queer people is not just against our bodies & who and how we love, it’s against our joy. Events like BQAF is important because it reminds us to keep showing up, keep making art, keep dancing & keep living. Joy cannot be taken!” Also to enhance the celebration & create more queer joy Normal Anomaly is introducing a Friday Night Live event with special guest, LaTavia Roberson another former member of Destiny’s Child & a ballroom segment has been included at the BQAF Music Festival to honor queer, Black artistry & history. <div><a href="https://www.normalanomaly.org/the-normal-anomaly-initiative-defies-discrimination-200-free-tickets-unveiled-for-black-queer-advancement-festival-amidst-texas-lgbtqia-human-rights-crisis/"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info & Free Tix…</span></b></a> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-25263561101463153492024-03-04T08:33:00.001-05:002024-03-04T08:33:58.042-05:00Capital Pride Alliance Is Totally Radical<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhicTQtuLL6HZL9BGN3_EH7ZwsXqa-WHNhBanAvl_mq8vkG_hx4WM079s8_0tYQOQ1lWRNb_P_plpIyGYkRGZYdQzJFV0e43vDnET1A6YSY-DCDrn1eNhWH794xeZirQulfk5FbjVlZ5J38FKA5yOupMuc6C5XJ1bjCBeqgZdin0Rqr9_clKeEwK_7Aw/s1000/capital.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhicTQtuLL6HZL9BGN3_EH7ZwsXqa-WHNhBanAvl_mq8vkG_hx4WM079s8_0tYQOQ1lWRNb_P_plpIyGYkRGZYdQzJFV0e43vDnET1A6YSY-DCDrn1eNhWH794xeZirQulfk5FbjVlZ5J38FKA5yOupMuc6C5XJ1bjCBeqgZdin0Rqr9_clKeEwK_7Aw/w400-h400/capital.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Capital Pride Alliance (CPA) has announced its theme "Totally Radical" for this year’s Pride celebration embracing the vibrant energy of our LGBTQ community & to pay homage to the radical spirit that defined the activism & progress of the 1980s & ‘90s. Ryan Bos, Executive Director of CPA stated, "Capital Pride’s 2024 theme celebrates the courageous spirit & unwavering strength & resilience that defined the LGBTQ+ community during the transformative decades of the 1980s & ‘90s". It's about embracing our authenticity, pushing boundaries & advocating for a world where everyone can live their truth without fear or discrimination." Ashley Smith, CPA Board President concluded, "As we reflect on our past & look towards the future, we are reminded of the power of unity & resilience. "The 'Totally Radical' theme embodies the boldness & determination of our community as we continue to fight for equality & acceptance." The Capital Pride Parade takes place on June 8th & the Capital Pride Festival is on June 9th 2024. In anticipation of WorldPride in Washington, DC in 2025 a streamlined Parade route has been unveiled for 2024. The new, two-mile route will begin at 14th & T Streets NW & conclude at Pennsylvania Avenue & 9th Street NW on June 8th. The Capital Pride Block Party & Family Area will remain in the historic core of the Dupont Circle neighborhood in partnership with local organizations & businesses. The Capital Pride Festival & Concert takes June 9th along Pennsylvania Avenue NW, featuring multiple stages, hundreds of exhibitors, food & beverage gardens with a re-imagined VIP experience. <div><a href="https://www.capitalpride.org/home-2"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-42315522496250153752024-03-01T07:29:00.000-05:002024-03-01T07:29:29.790-05:00Georgia Advances Religious Bigotry Bill <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJiYzO5dUd0eSzw7G1qkHh0HNg_zZL4Rk0woRFAdQC8siBcF1broZsipw_cOuqK6mek0mzqZ5gCiq4wG4Yx7qZasWJgiT9CPDnyDcN8LXTy0hUXnoZN0s7DivmVazo6jBrfV91MSwuYDH7jPYky7TzpH1ZARgj3SOcFRl0Vyvc1dwu7qL_KUZ9UAm10c/s1009/Georgia.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1009" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJiYzO5dUd0eSzw7G1qkHh0HNg_zZL4Rk0woRFAdQC8siBcF1broZsipw_cOuqK6mek0mzqZ5gCiq4wG4Yx7qZasWJgiT9CPDnyDcN8LXTy0hUXnoZN0s7DivmVazo6jBrfV91MSwuYDH7jPYky7TzpH1ZARgj3SOcFRl0Vyvc1dwu7qL_KUZ9UAm10c/w400-h396/Georgia.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The Georgia Senate has advanced Senate Bill 180 that gives license to discriminate by allowing religious beliefs to be used as a justification for violating the basic civil rights of others. Bentley Hudgins HRC Georgia State Director stated, “If Senate Bill 180 becomes law, it could lead to LGBTQ+ Georgians – not to mention women, religious minorities & other vulnerable communities – being turned away from a business, denied housing or refused service because of who they are or who they love. Religious freedom is already deeply embedded in the U.S. & Georgia constitutions & it must not be wielded as a weapon to violate the basic civil rights of others. Lawmakers in the Georgia House of Representatives should quickly reject this discriminatory bill.” The Georgia Chamber of Commerce & Metro Atlanta Chamber have publicly opposed SB 180 stating “We believe it is best to focus on issues like workforce development, infrastructure & education which move our state forward & improve the quality of life for all Georgians. … we oppose any efforts, including SB 180, that would undermine the state’s strong reputation we have built together.” More than 300 major U.S. corporations have spoken out to oppose anti-LGBTQ legislation being proposed in states across the country. Major employers in tech, manufacturing, hospitality, health care, retail & other sectors are joining together to say that discrimination is bad for business & to call on lawmakers to abandon these efforts. A similar 2015 bill in Indiana resulted in the loss of 12 conventions & had a negative economic impact of up to $60 million in losses.

which will have severe & detrimental effects on the lives & freedoms of our LGBTQ community in Ghana. The bill violates the African Commission on Human & Peoples’ Rights Resolution 275 that aims to protect individuals from violence & discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity & to ensure their equal protection under the law. Neela Ghoshal, Senior Director of Law, Policy & Research at Outright International stated, "Ghana’s anti-LGBTQ bill tramples human rights, undermines family values of acceptance & unity & risks derailing economic development & eroding democratic gains. Banning the very existence of queer people & their allies is unprecedented. The hostility this bill displays toward LGBTQ Ghanaians will put lives & livelihoods at risk”. David Stacy, HRC Vice President of Government Affairs concluded,
“We are outraged to hear about the Ghanaian Parliament’s passage of the so-called ‘Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights &Ghanaian Family Values Act’ – a cruel bill that violates the fundamental rights of LGBTQI+ people & allies throughout Ghana. Every single lawmaker who voted to pass this bill is wrongly using their power to strip away the basic humanity of the people they are supposed to represent. We stand with our partners in Ghana during this harrowing time & we urge the Government of Ghana to reverse course on this bill that undermines human rights. We call on the international community to stand up for the rights of all LGBTQI+ people.” Just another wake-up call how crucial our upcoming presidential election is in this country to uphold the rights & dignity of all individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. <div><a href="https://outrightinternational.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/ann-hampton-callaway-talks-bgmc-concert.html"><b>LISTEN: Ann Hampton Callaway To Perform With BGMC</b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-40862969541529822602024-02-28T11:01:00.001-05:002024-03-18T08:12:44.642-04:00Melodies For A Movement Event (AUDIO)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhlY3nmZI28Mki-TOgKBh_jZKJFkD0MJ35XU6gLnDddwziBfKc2bWgDRb0M4XFY_tF4d8v3yyNm0skhRfHKiLaS78KwZtIjH8JXiC9JHfRgaOjNFDmqrlsOwhjN_EHa8Fpexsbd2tadx7rj54r6wK1TEzOfBgmWqlfVAoN21-8MXppsP9LhTZZ8D5stE/s1000/AHC24-News.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhlY3nmZI28Mki-TOgKBh_jZKJFkD0MJ35XU6gLnDddwziBfKc2bWgDRb0M4XFY_tF4d8v3yyNm0skhRfHKiLaS78KwZtIjH8JXiC9JHfRgaOjNFDmqrlsOwhjN_EHa8Fpexsbd2tadx7rj54r6wK1TEzOfBgmWqlfVAoN21-8MXppsP9LhTZZ8D5stE/w400-h400/AHC24-News.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>This week I talked with singer/songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway about her performance with the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC) on March 16th at Jordan Hall in Boston, MA. The concert entitled "Melodies for a Movement" highlights the "Tyler’s Suite" that sheds light on the devastating impact of cyber-harassment & bullying that our LGBTQ youth continue to face. Tyler Clementi was the accomplished violinist who took his life in 2010 after being cyber-bullied by his Rutgers roommate for being gay. The "Tyler’s Suite" was created under the leadership of Composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin) & explores the voices & experiences of Tyler & his family through the music of 11 of today’s top composers including Ann Hampton Callaway. This powerful performance will feature a suite in 9 movements for chorus with a solo violin performance dedicated to the memory of Tyler Clementi. "Melodies for a Movement" also features a cabaret set by Callaway one of America's most gifted & prolific artists. Through the stirring composition of the "Tyler’s Suite" & the mesmerizing performance by Callaway this fabulous concert event will evoke empathy, foster understanding & promote acceptance. Especially in these difficult times with over 600 anti LGBTQ bills in states across the country, women's rights continue to be on the chopping block, antisemitism & hate crimes on the rise all as we head toward the 2024 presidential election. "Melodies for a Movement" honors Tyler Clementi's memory while igniting the flame of positive change to build a world where every individual is cherished for exactly who they are. I talked to Ann about what she hopes to accomplish with her music & her spin on our LGBTQ issues. <span style="color: #04ff00;"><b>LISTEN</b></span>

The Delmays have been at the forefront of the Florida LGBTQ civil rights movement & represent the union of two of Florida’s most influential activist organizations. Kierra Johnson, National LGBTQ Task Force Executive Director stated, "The Delmays are pioneers in the local and national LGBTQ+ community for their work fighting for marriage equality. This election year, our hard won rights & frankly those yet realized are at stake. As we work to Queer the Vote, we couldn’t imagine two better people to recognize. They truly are unrelenting advocates & pillars of our Miami community who continue, despite all odds, to pursue an equitable world for queer people in Florida and nationwide.” Todd Delmay concluded, “We are humbled to be honored not just as a couple, but as representatives of two of Florida's most successful organizations in the fight for full LGBTQ+ equality & we're excited the honor will be part of the celebration of love for the community that Winter Party represents. More than ever, our fight depends on our efforts to stand strong together in the face of hate.” The Winter Party Festival is an annual dance & music festival featuring a week-long series of events benefiting both local and national LGBTQ+ organizations. The VIP Cocktail Reception is a ticketed event & serves as the Task Force’s kick-off party to a week-long series of events inspiring the community to “Queer the Vote'' this crucial election year. <div><a href="https://winterparty.com/event/vip-cocktail-reception-2"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info & Tix…</span></b></a> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/jason-rodriguez-talks-new-way-vogue.html"><b>LISTEN: Jason A.

Daqua Lameek Ritter was found guilty of a Hate Crime for murdering Dime Doe a transgender woman in South Carolina
because of her gender identity. After a four-day trial in a federal hate crime case a jury found the South Carolina man guilty of all charges in the indictment which included one hate crime count, one federal firearms count & one obstruction count. Benjamin C. Mizer Acting Associate Attorney General stated, “Acts of violence against LGBTQI+ people, including transgender women of color like Dime Doe, are on the rise & have no place in our society. The Justice Department takes seriously all bias-motivated acts of violence & will not hesitate to hold accountable those who commit them. No one should have to live in fear of deadly violence because of who they are.” Kristen Clarke Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division concluded, “A unanimous jury has found the defendant guilty for the heinous & tragic murder of Dime Doe, a Black transgender woman. The jury’s verdict sends a clear message: Black trans lives matter, bias-motivated violence will not be tolerated & perpetrators of hate crimes will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We want the Black trans community to know that you are seen & heard, that we stand with the LGBTQI+ community & that we will use every tool available to seek justice for victims & their families.” <div><a href="https://www.matthewshepard.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/jason-rodriguez-talks-new-way-vogue.html"><b>LISTEN: Jason A.

Despite bipartisan opposition from lawmakers & thousands of Floridians having spoken out against the harms this sweeping legislation would cause the bill was voted out of committee favorably by a 9 - 15 vote. The bill is now headed to the Florida House floor. Equality Florida stated, “Transgender people exist & always will. This cruel bill weaponizes private insurance companies & state agencies to threaten the safety & inclusion of the transgender community & it exists for the purpose of bullying transgender Floridians out of public life entirely. HB 1639 includes sweeping new anti-LGBTQ government mandates on private insurance carriers in the state that are sure to increase health insurance costs for every Floridian at a time when we are already facing an affordability crisis. The proposal further requires that all healthcare plans offered in the state include coverage for anti-trans “conversion therapy,” a dangerous & debunked practice opposed by the American Medical Association & banned in twenty-two states. The bill also blocks transgender Floridians from obtaining accurate state-issued identification, which denies their legal existence & takes Florida out of compliance with the federal REAL ID Act. Forcing transgender Floridians to out themselves at an airport, in interactions with law enforcement, or when accessing a club or movie theater is a threat to their safety. Lawmakers should end the continued obsession with culture war attacks in service to an agenda of censorship & government control & overreach & instead, focus on solving problems rather than creating new ones that future legislatures will eventually have to clean up.” <div><a href=" https://www.eqfl.org/resistance-report-week-7-anti-trans-bill-move"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/jason-rodriguez-talks-new-way-vogue.html"><b>LISTEN: Jason A.

The school sent them home bloodied & bruised without notifying police or seeking urgent medical attention which led to their death the following day. GLSEN has found that 75% of trans students feel unsafe at school & we're already dealing with over 300 anti-LGBTQ bills mostly against trans kids filed across the USA in 2024. Melanie Willingham-Jaggers GLSEN Executive Director stated, “The murder of Nex Benedict is devastating. The fact that the mob killing of this child was carried out by other children is a chilling reminder of the influence adults hold over young minds. When adults propagate extremist ideologies & fuel the spread of hate, it's sadly not surprising that hate crimes ensue. We must name the role that individuals and legislation have played in this murder. Nex's life was taken due to anti-trans hatred peddled by Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok), bigoted school leaders & extremist state legislators. These adults must be held accountable for their actions & words. Hate speech, especially when enshrined into law as demonstrated by Oklahoma's transphobic bathroom ban, not only empowers children to commit atrocious acts of violence but also desensitizes the adults in their environment, fostering a culture of callousness & disregard for human life. The tragic reality is that the youth who inflicted fatal injuries upon Nex were indoctrinated with hatred, fed lies & instilled with a profound fear of trans individuals. This indoctrination was so potent that they felt justified in carrying out a deadly assault on their peer in a school bathroom.” <div><a href="https://www.glsen.org/"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/02/jason-rodriguez-talks-new-way-vogue.html"><b>LISTEN: Jason A.

Rodriguez at the 2024 National LGBTQ Task Force Creating Change Conference that took place in New Orleans, LA. Creating Change is the foremost political, leadership & skills-building conference for our LGBTQ social justice movement. There are also fun events especially when Jason A. Rodriguez the talented dancer/actor from the hit FX series “Pose” presented a workshop on the history, importance & elements of Vogue. This year’s conference theme was “Queer Power, Action & Joy” & Jason brought the joy conducting workshops on New Way Vogue. Jason who played Lamar on “Pose” also served as the movement coach for all three seasons. Currently Rodriguez conducts New Way Vogue classes at the Ailey Studios in NYC. The workshops Jason led at the Creating Change Conference gave the attendees an opportunity to learn the 3 styles of Voguing. Stretch & precision are key to New Way Vogue allowing the voguers to show off contorted & flexible poses with precision & grace. It’s all accomplished by learning arm controls to show off your control of creating lines, shapes, illusions & face framing movements to the beat of the music in addition to poses, floor work, cat walks, duck walks & dips. Jason also served as one of the judges at the Conference’s “Agents of Change –A Night of a Thousand Stars Mini-Ball” which showcased professional & novice Voguers on the runway.

We recognize the critical importance of a united front in advocating for human rights & through this partnership, we look forward to moving the conversation about LGBTIQ+ aging forward.” The Council for Global Equality is a coalition of prominent U.S.-based human rights & LGBTQ advocacy organizations that together encourage a clear U.S. voice for the human rights of LGBTQ communities around the world.

Multiple states have passed bans on abortion & transgender health care & Texas continues to intimidate or otherwise punish physicians or facilities in other states who provide such essential care to their residents. However eleven states including Massachusetts, Connecticut & the District of Columbia have passed health care shield laws to protect providers & patients & ensure their states remain desirable places to practice medicine. In Rhode Island last week legislators introduced the “Health Care Provider Shield Act,” (SB2262/HB7577) to protect Rhode Island’s health care system, doctors & other medical care providers & patients from hostile out-of-state laws that could negatively impact delivery of care in the Ocean State. Sponsored by Senator Dawn Euer & Representative John G. Edward the Health Care Provider Shield Act will ensure that Rhode Island health care providers aren’t penalized under the laws of other states that have banned access to established, standard-of-care reproductive & transgender health care & that patients can continue to receive quality, legal, essential medical care in Rhode Island. Senate Judiciary Chair Euer stated, “The Health Care Provider Shield Act is about protecting established, best-practice medical care that is legal in Rhode Island & ensuring that our local providers & our health care infrastructure aren’t negatively impacted by hostile laws in other states. Politicians in multiple U.S. states are engaging in alarming government overreach, banning access to essential medical care & instituting civil & criminal penalties on providers for practicing medicine in line with the professional standards of care. This bill will ensure that these out-of-state laws aren’t used against health care providers in Rhode Island.” <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/01/peaches-christ-talks-mink-stole-idol.html">LISTEN: Peaches Christ Talks Mink Stole Idol Worship Tour</a> </b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-14686622773033339852024-02-09T08:29:00.000-05:002024-02-09T08:29:43.169-05:00Shanks New Fenway Health Interim CEO<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyqtdLGKpVBRwzLUHiNITWvZiPVoRJFDZST1nTmULvpwvQ7_FaJPgU7gyG1yNLFIzN_toXXsaZyzCG_cLPtGNIb_ZjDlU58JSlXz9GkOyuf_vzPyOR9Ewx_MaHEs5caXq-qLnOt18xKjS9vBXIfLE5LGmyo6d6UTHDsjVpVwlMeAXDLIhHxGw6pu5yiJI/s1000/fenway.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyqtdLGKpVBRwzLUHiNITWvZiPVoRJFDZST1nTmULvpwvQ7_FaJPgU7gyG1yNLFIzN_toXXsaZyzCG_cLPtGNIb_ZjDlU58JSlXz9GkOyuf_vzPyOR9Ewx_MaHEs5caXq-qLnOt18xKjS9vBXIfLE5LGmyo6d6UTHDsjVpVwlMeAXDLIhHxGw6pu5yiJI/w400-h400/fenway.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The Fenway Health Board of Directors announced that it has hired its Chief Operating Officer Jordina Shanks as Fenway Health’s Interim CEO when Manny Lopes steps down from the role on March 15th.

Since joining Fenway Health in 2021, Jordina has expertly overseen operations across clinical & non-clinical areas. She’s directed the implementation of a patient-centered, team-based care model at Fenway Health. She has also led efforts that have improved access to care for our patients & clients & is executing strategies to improve the financial performance of the organization.” Shanks concluded, “I’m inspired every day by the incredible skill & passion that Fenway clinicians & staff in our health centers & public health clinics bring to their work when caring for our patients & clients. I’m equally inspired by the scientists, researchers & educators who are bringing new knowledge to the fields of gender affirming care, HIV treatment & prevention & health equity. I’m incredibly honored to be called to lead & serve Fenway Health in this capacity. We have made much progress coming out of the pandemic & it’s imperative that we continue to build on that momentum as we look to the future in service to LGBTQIA+ people, BIPOC individuals, people living with HIV & other underserved communities.”
The Board also announced that it has hired Liliana Silva to serve as Fenway Health’s Interim Chief Operating Officer. <div><a href="https://fenwayhealth.org"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info…</span></b></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/01/peaches-christ-talks-mink-stole-idol.html">LISTEN: Peaches Christ Talks Mink Stole Idol Worship Tour</a> </b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-2485525886797428032024-02-08T12:10:00.000-05:002024-02-08T12:10:16.339-05:00Suede Returns To Scullers Jazz Club <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa2DavsjAzwW-OrZLZqc9qR5zXSWBGFKvoX7iYMCNuurdeVKv1Hf411kii29tjQIrpQXZzqD20NUhDyrlQ5Cs6xpaNVUmsq9oYiiikZOsQEXPIyBNcW6xa_ukHXYZMGLx5yq1PsvoBQl_Rwffj7l3X6iVPHnVIuPkUN0jfb6VMua9mveneAzDGTUV1wM/s1000/Suede.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="798" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa2DavsjAzwW-OrZLZqc9qR5zXSWBGFKvoX7iYMCNuurdeVKv1Hf411kii29tjQIrpQXZzqD20NUhDyrlQ5Cs6xpaNVUmsq9oYiiikZOsQEXPIyBNcW6xa_ukHXYZMGLx5yq1PsvoBQl_Rwffj7l3X6iVPHnVIuPkUN0jfb6VMua9mveneAzDGTUV1wM/w319-h400/Suede.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>Back by popular demand Suede will be performing at Scullers Jazz Club Friday February 16th at 7P with her longtime trio of pianist Freddie Boyle, Rich Hill on bass & Steve Langone on drums. A New York critic once said Suede's like Adele meets Diana Krall meets Bette Midler. Come see why
she was Joan Rivers' opening act. Check out this Pop/Jazz/Blues vocalist & multi-instrumentalist who tours nationally & internationally filling the best rooms from Feinstein’s in San Francisco to Birdland in NYC to Blues Alley & The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC & beyond. Suede stated, “Me & my band are really thrilled to be coming back to Scullers this world-renowned club in Boston & to step on that stage we've been on many times. Every time I do step on it I think about the incredible musicians & the Masters of music who have been there before. We've played there many times including recording my DVD there live which was aired on 54 stations to date for PBS fundraising. It's a very cool Club in a very cool City, all housed in the Doubletree Suites Cambridge so people can make a whole long holiday weekend of it & be swooned by us on Friday just after Valentine's Day.” Direct from a national tour & another sold out show at Birdland, Bistro Awards magazine calls her a "masterful entertainer at the peak of her powers." Suede was a most popular headliner on Charter line Olivia Cruises for 3 decades & co-headliner with Melissa Etheridge & Sarah McLachlan on Melissa Etheridge Cruises. So Don't Miss OUT... Scullers Tickets run from $40 to $45. <div><a href="https://www.ticketweb.com/event/suede-scullers-jazz-club-tickets/13248763?fbclid=IwAR3lSLg2JbImNYK-EPyUWDhrq4-6mYynkvDGWJ08g3IlIaT_6H1pp_PLvWo"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For More Info & Tix…</span></b></a> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2022/05/filmmakers-address-catholic-lgbtq.html" style="color: #2288bb; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="32" data-original-width="800" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmQGdhaSRfAy3LwOKQR7j8CZjZvXx3GDs3MGzt5OGR2IoFG2ABHDUsszrMoS3GtkdiMXwvyNz7ApZe3n5-icqNsL4cMkeroywgXU3ctcg1M9h7oJgfaULKOruO_di3b22DZ01Bq2IV4yzG_OcIp7t1PxAd3OzwVYyqjMBRzpx0pmMIaSG6Qvd2Crx/w400-h16/banner-22.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></b></a></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2024/01/peaches-christ-talks-mink-stole-idol.html">LISTEN: Peaches Christ Talks Mink Stole Idol Worship Tour</a> </b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://voices.outtakeonline.com/2021/08/over-500-lgbtq-leaders-celebrities-talk.html" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">LISTEN: 600+ Podcasts w/ LGBTQ Leaders & Celebrities</a></span></b></div><div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: black; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;"><b style="color: lime;"><a href="https://outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">CHECK OUT OUR PODCAST APPS & STREAMING SITE</span></a></b></div></div><b style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #009900;">Hear Audio Chats w/ LGBTQ Leaders</span><span style="color: #009900;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><b><a href="http://voices.outtakeonline.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">@OUTTAKE VOICES</a></b></span></span></b></div>Charlotte Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719695261294226noreply@blogger.com0
