First I thought the shirts, stickers, decals and posters was for us to buy and show off.

Mobile wed access,please almost everyone that will be riding along with this folk have smart phones.. I know each ride don’t need a Sound Amplification, I can understand the food, but please shoes and socks,what these folks can’t buy their own.

NC marriage fight in turing into a damn joke, all thanks to HRC, Qnotes, ENC, and Those groups Gay INC is helping..

ENC Post-card Campaign was a huge failure,, they delivered the cards on the day of the vote..so they were basically worthless.. a waste of time and money..

so just who is ripping off the LGBT community and its allies.

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

Qnotes Editor to Step down

Q-Notes shared a link.

QNotes editor Matt Comer to step down « QNotes - Carolina LGBT arts, entertainment, news, views

goqnotes.com

CHARLOTTE — On Tuesday, QNotes announced the resignation of editor Matt Comer, who will be stepping down from his position on Jan. 20, 2012, to pursue new opportunities with local, statewide and national LGBT communities.

Yes it is true. Matt is stepping down after four years of making Qnotes only about Charlotte and his personal interests. I’m sure there will be many who will miss him, however I’m not one of them.

From the owner of Qnotes:

“As with any transition in life or business, saying goodbye can often be bittersweet,” said Jim Yarbrough, publisher of QNotes. “While we are sad to see Matt leave, we wish him well on his future endeavors and are excited to tackle the transition process as we look for a new editor.”

From Matt:

“I’m proud to have helped develop QNotes’ new media successes and humbled to have worked with such a brilliant team of staff and contributing writers. I’ll remember fondly the memories I’ve made here and cherish them.”

Comer added, “Though I am departing QNotes, I will remain a committed advocate for the LGBT communities of Charlotte and North Carolina. I’m looking forward to my continued community involvement in the Queen City and in this great state, especially as our community faces the anti-LGBT constitutional amendment in May.”

So Matt, don’t let the door hit you on your way out.. Maybe the New Editor will finally reach out to the Eastern Carolina… and make them feel apart of the NC LGBT Community..
