Pride is just a few weeks away, and we need your help! We want to make a lasting impression at this year's celebration. Our float will showcase the umbrella theme of unity and all of the issues that are important to us including solidarity with immigrants, resisting occupation and war, resisting corporate take-over of pride, and being proud of who we are as queer/lgbtqi people.So far we have joined forces with the International Action Center/Stonewall Warriors and Women's Fight Back Network. If you or your organization like to help us design our unity float it is not to late!

Because even we lefties have our own racism we need to deal with duh.
at first i thought the "right-wing gop christian ministries" was a joke. i mean, with a name like that, c'mon! but after looking at their blogs (yes, they've got a bunch), i think they're serious. that's some crazy shit.
in terms of racism, let us please never forget, as a queer "community" the incredible need for the white dominant class to learn to give up power and stop claiming things that aren't ours and for us to really be willing to work on racial justice. if we are honest about racism in this country we will see how white queers benefit from white privilege very similarly to the rest of white society. this is a struggle we need to actively be involved in in. let us not be distracted by our oppression as queers so as not to understand our oppressive privilege and power as white people....
Jason, exactly. That's what I meant when I said we had our own racism to deal with.
