NC Family Values is pissing off NC #GayINC Over the 2nd Anniversary Of Amendment 1.

the photo.

From Jen Jones of Equality NC,

Does this image piss you off? Does it make you angry to know there are people out there who think NC should *celebrate* the passage of Amendment One? Then, join me for a CookOUT for Marriage Equality, at Motorco, in Durham, on the 2nd anniversary of Amendment One, May 8, from 6-8, as we show the entire Tar Heel state what hundreds of folks fighting for marriage really looks like

There would like for you to join them for their little cookout thingy.. Click here..

Amendment Pass due to the huge failure of NC Equality,, only targeting Cities with Colleges East of 95, completely ignoring Eastern NC, where the NC Family Value target and won each of those counties. Lets not forget the huge post card campaign which was as a failure, they delivered the cards on the day of the Vote. So, the member of the House and Senate never got to see those card before they voted..

Equality NC basically help this amendment to pass, so they could use it for future fund raisers.

How Cute, Qnotes creates a FB Event for Charlotte LGBT Center

Note,

On Jan. 22, the group announced it is on the verge of closure and may shut its doors at the end of February.

This was attack a local activist in Charlotte who wasn’t happy with the way they threated him.. Cause a stink over close meetings and lack of Transparency.

I hope they have found a way to stay open, after this person bitch and complain, cause many to leave the center..

However, some in the community is already planning to create a new Center if this one fails..

Controversy over the center’s lack of transparency and financial problems have inspired at least one public effort to establish a new organization if the center should fail. About half a dozen community members under the leadership of activist Janice Covington say they have already secured temporary meeting space and are poised to create a steering committee to form a new organization if necessary.

Talking about stabbing people in the back..

You got to be fucking joking

Is it a pool party or a sex party,

Yes Campus Pride is having a Pool party, but you must first give up $75 bucks to start with. Don’t fear, this party is at a private resident where I’m it will be clothing optional after some time..

also Sorry Jack a successful stint on Project Runway would be if you actually finish or voted off, not because you left voluntary.

Also, so far only men reply to the invite on Facebook, well, one woman. Also Matt of Qnotes said he would be there, I’m sure on Qnotes dime, to get an interview

Now this one is very interesting.. We talk about how we should be open and accepting as a community, well not any more..

this FB group use to be open for all to join and see with out be approve first. Now the owner of the page wants to approve those who can join and see what is there..

So what will be happing in the near future that require them to  block many and restrict viewing of their page???

From their FB page,

Equality North Carolina is your voice for equal rights and justice in state government.
Equality NC is a statewide group...

dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. We work toward that goal by effectively lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, executive branch, and local governments on issues like employment discrimination, hate violence, privacy rights, sexuality education, adoption, domestic partnership, HIV/AIDS, and more. We also work to engage North Carolinians with educational programming and outreach efforts.

So, Who get to say which communities in NC are more important for May 8th election.

Yes, which communities are better than others here in NC. I have often said that if you live east of 95, you simple don’t exist to many LGBT groups or org’s. Yes, Wilmington gets attention, and many consider it a part of Eastern NC, which it not. It’s more southern then eastern..

However, Eastern NC isn’t just left out by the groups or org’s, hell our very own NC LGBT Newspaper can’t be bothered, in the Editor eyes, and yes I’m paraphrasing, “Eastern NC is a waste of time and resources,” simple because we don’t have the numbers like Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro and Charlotte.

Now I found this little bit of info,

Equality North Carolina, Human Rights Campaign, and other major backers and fund-raisers have already determined which voters they need to contact. The business community is arguing that discrimination will drive away top talent. Progressive faith leaders are rallying to counteract the religious right. And organizers are fanning out to urban centers and the 16 state university campuses, where they know votes in their favor exist.

So I guess these are the Colleges that are focusing on,

1. Appalachian State University
2. East Carolina University
3. Elizabeth City State University
4. Fayetteville State University
5. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
6. North Carolina Central University
7. North Carolina State University
8. University of North Carolina at Asheville
9. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
10. University of North Carolina at Charlotte
11. University of North Carolina at Greensboro
12. University of North Carolina at Pembroke
13. University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW)
14. University of North Carolina School of the Arts
15. Western Carolina University
16. Winston-Salem State University

Equality NC Blocks me, and 6 of ? Vigils

NATION-WIDE Campaign to appoint William White as Sec. of the Navy

--------------------------------------------
IMMEDIATE ACTION - PLEASE HELP!
--------------------------------------------

1. JOIN this event.
2. POST it to your profile.
3. INVITE all your friends, straight and gay, to help shatter a glass ceiling.
4. JOIN the Equal Rep group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=37627939486

------------------
BACKGROUND:
------------------

In more than 200 years, the United States military has never included an openly gay chief. Growing national focus on GLBT civil rights has therefore made the Secretary of the Navy appointment a national issue in the struggle for equal representation. Also, it highlights the antiquated policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" which needs to repealed.

----------------------------------------------
QUALIFICATIONS & ENDORSEMENTS:
----------------------------------------------

William White is the most qualified candidate for the job.

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has named the main qualification for Navy Secretary as corporate, business, and managerial experience. William White certainly fills this criteria as he serves as a member of the Executive Committee and as Chief Operating Officer of the Intrepid Museum Foundation. A recipient of the 1996 Meritorious Service Award in recognition of his outstanding support of the United States Navy, White has dedicated his life to helping injured servicemen and the families of our fallen soldiers. In 1991 Bill White founded Operation Support which raised $400,000 in three months to aid the families of soldiers lost in the Persian Gulf War. This success led to White raising funds for the Intrepid Museum. In 1992, White’s passion and dedication to the Intrepid Foundation became a full time job managing all fundraising and development. White has hosted Presidents Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and Bill Clinton along with world leaders such as Thatcher, Rabin and Yeltsin. Upon the death of museum Founder Zachary Fisher, White became the Intrepid Foundation President, assuming responsibility for advising the Fisher family in the management of their many military charitable organizations. You can read more about William White here: http://128.121.125.249/press_execbios-bwhite.html

Retired general Hugh Shelton, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said White "would be phenomenal." He added that White's extensive background as a fund-raiser for veterans' and military causes would be helpful in the job. Congressman Jerrold Nadler said White is "very capable" on the basis of observing his work at the Intrepid, located on the Hudson River, which is in Nadler's district. Nadler added that White has been a friend of service members and their families through his work with the museum and philanthropic efforts, according to The Washington Times.
