Outgiving 2011 is now over, what is to come…

outgiving2011_logo
Yes the two day event where the cost to attend was $1400.00 per person is now over.

Yet still nothing is being said. What was talked about, who was there, and what new policies were created?

Will our NC blogger over at the Pams houseblend report what was going on at this very secretive meeting, or will be kept in the dark.

other blogger had this to say about Outgiving 2011;

10 Questions about the Mysterious Event called OutGiving 2011 http://bit.ly/iiE1gV

this was said about the last Outgiving;

here’s where #OutGiving secrecy does a disservice to the movement at large: Real progress won’t come as long as politicians, particularly Democrats, can rely on big gay money even after doing nothing to earn it.

what about this question;

No press allowed? If Obama or HRC did this, there would a haterade for the next 3 months from certain bloggers and activists. Where is the transparency?

I know one blogger who would made it her mission to find out why. Yet she is now apart of this group, so I doubt we will see anything from her…

Is her present to help or to raise Money


As Florida’s LGBT activists continue to await a court decision that could eventually negate the state’s gay adoption ban, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida has turned up the heat on the debate as it is set to launch a three-year campaign in coalition with a number of national, state and local organizations.

Actress Cynthia Nixon will be among the many activists scheduled to attend the campaign’s official kick-off at the Shore Club in Miami Beach on Saturday. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, state Sen. Nan Rich [D-Sunrise] and state Rep. Mary Brandenburg [D-West Palm Beach] will also be among those in attendance.

 Don't get me wrong, I glad that she is willing to lean her support, but in truth do these actors/actress really help us in the long run or are they just a cash cow item?

LGBT to protest Gov. Crists wedding,

Gay rights activists plan to demonstrate outside Gov. Charlie Crist's wedding to Carole Rome this month. The group Impact-Florida has called on its members to gather in pink T-shirts outside First United Methodist Church of St. Petersburg on Dec.12 to "congratulate" Crist and Rome while their wedding takes place inside. The demonstration will continue outside the wedding reception at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in downtown St. Petersburg.

So are we the new WBC, protesting happy events to get our point across. I wonder just how many will be arrested at this event. This isn't like CA, the lgbt community in FL never had marriage in the first place so how can you protest something that you lost that you never had in the first place.

Children should't be subject to life long medical choices

Very interesting statement, which I'm sure the #transinc community will claim to be Transphobic.. in natural. There is nothing bias ...
