Gay civil rights movement

As many of you may not be aware, a Colorado state senator (Scott Renfro) condemned homosexuality and both addressed it as “a violation of this natural creative order… an offense to god” and commented that homosexuals “shall be surely put to death” during a debate speech to congress in regards to a bill that would extend health insurance benefits to same-sex partners of state employees. The bill was passed, and Renfro later apologized for his comments in a meeting afterward—but did not refute…See More

About Me: I have been an activist for my school district's teachers in the past, and now I am looking to get more involved and do what I can to improve my community.

How I would like to change the world:: I want to see people become more united and progressive so that we may all become a strong community and nation; I want to see more elements of socialism take root in our nation; I want to see a more democratic mainstream media, and equal civil rights for homosexuals. I also want to see American culture become what it should be and flourish with democtratic expression.

Tools I Have: I do not have much yet, but I do have a few friends who want to get involved, an experience with the distribution of fliers, street demonstrations, an emerging network of people, a minor knack for writing, and a philosophical and insightful ability.

Tools I Need: I need to meet with people who know how to put the causes that I stand for in action as effectively as possible, and I need more information on community events in which I wish to partake.

Favorite Bands: Nin Inch Nails, Dj Tiesto, Flobots, Fun-da-Mental, Paul Oakenfold, The Sex Pistols, Gorrillaz... just to name a few.

What issues are you most passionate about?: no

I know the organizers have permits and have been working with the police. I can't make you any guarantees because like at any other march I can't predict what the police or Greeley residents will do or how they will respond. That said, I think the likelihood of violence is small. The point of the march is Unity so the more diverse people like you and I and others show up the more we'll demonstrate that unity can exist.

I agree about community unity and I think that in order to move "beyond race" we have to recognize that the system of oppression IS race based and that Chicano and Latino people (and people of color) are targeted by these systems in a way, as a white person, I am not. I have found that when I show up consistently to events and support my brothers and sisters I learn a lot about why tensions exist and at the same time just being there reduces tension in the community and shows there is a way to do things together.

Because of the extra oppression the communities of color face, if many of us who go to the march are white, it also raises the likelihood that the march will not be attacked. IN other words if we show up for our community and our brothers and sisters of color, it assists in creating a safe space for their voices to be heard, breaks down barriers and tensions in the community. I don't know... maybe I am rambling? Does this make any sense???
