IDAHO
There are over 75 countries in the world today where it is a criminal offence to be gay. These countries punish women, men and children because of their sexuality and in seven countries the punishment is death.
An International Day Against HOmophobia (IDAHO) provides a platform for everyone to make a powerful statement to demand improvements for the quality of life for LGBT people, (further info next listing).

IDAHO PETITION: FOR INTERNATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS >>


IDAHO
: IDAHO is the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia

If you have not already done so, you and your family and friends can still continue to sign this petition started by Louis Georges Tin.

IDAHO was founded by Louis Georges Tin in 2005. Campaigns and Inititives take place on or around May 17th every year to combat prejudice against LGBT people. May 17th is chosen because it marks the anniversary of the day in 1990 when the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from its list of mental diseases.

IDAHO is needed because: 86 member states of the United Nations still criminalise consensual same sex among adults. Among these 7 have legal provisions with the death penalty as punishment. In addition, there are 6 provinces or territorial units which also punish homsexuality with imprisonment.

Dear Marriage Equality Supporter,

Thank you for your support throughout 2011, together we have achieved the following:
1. Changed the ALP Platform to support marriage equality
2. Gained the Tasmanian and ACT Government's endorsement of Marriage equality
3. Had same-sex marriages counted and recognisged in the Census for the first time
4. CNIs being issued to same-sex couples wishing to marry overseas

As this unstoppable momentum:
http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/national/national/general/samesex-marriage-win-within-year/2388919.aspx
...continues into the new year we now need to help Coalition MPs open their hearts and minds to the importance of marriage equality.

We know Coalition leaders like Barry O'Farrell, Barnaby Joyce, Malcolm Turnbull and SA Leader Isobel Redmond all want MPs in their party to be allowed a conscience vote to reflect the strong public support for marriage equality.

Shortly we will be announcing our exciting plans for 2012, but in the mean-time follow the below links to help make a difference now:
1. Sign the petition calling on Tony Abbott to allow a conscience vote
2. Contact Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop directly and request the coalition grants a conscience vote
http://www.tonyabbott.com.au/ContactTony.aspx
http://www.juliebishop.com.au/share-your-ideas.html
3. Email all your MPs and Senators asking them to support reform:
http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/mpdb/email.php

We will enter the new year confident that we have the support of a majority of Australians and progress on our side!

Thanks you for your continued support,

STILL TIME TO BE HEARD!
http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/laborconference

On Saturday, the ALP National Conference will have an historic opportunity to help achieve marriage equality by adopting a binding policy in favour of equality. Groups like the Australian Christian Lobby are running a scare campaign to prevent Labor from ending discrimination against same-sex couples.

We have spoken to delegates and stratigests within the party and have been told that the vote will be very close.

You can make a difference right now by emailing your support for marriage equality to all the Federal Labor representatives in your state many of whom will be delegates at the National Conference. Click here:

Tell the Labor Party it's time for equality!

Dear Marriage Equality Supporter,

This weekend's ALP National Conference is a historic opportunity for Labor to help achieve marriage equality by adopting a binding policy in favour of equality.

The vote will be very close. That's why, according to today's news reports, Julia Gillard has been personally lobbying Conference delegates to oppose any change to Labor's platform. Religious groups opposed to equality have also organised large-scale, letter-writing campaigns.

You can make a difference right now by emailing your support for marriage equality to all the Federal Labor representatives in your state, many of whom will be delegates at the National Conference.

AME has launched a special webform to make it as easy. Please include your personal views in the email you send:
http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/laborconference

AME has already mailed a range of relevant materials to all Conference delegates. But we need your support to amplify the message that "it's time for marriage equality".

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Subject: Protest at ALP conference for marriage equality this December

Join Equal Love this December as we... RALLY AND MARCH TO ALP NATIONAL CONFERENCE!

Demand the ALP commit to binding policy in support of full marriage equality- not a conscience vote nor civil unions!

This December represents a major opportunity to see the discriminatory and homophobic Marriage Act amended. The ALP will be discussing changing their policy on marriage equality - which would be the important first step to changing the law. Equal Love is calling on all supporters of equality to make the effort to get to Sydney for this important event.

It is high time the ALP listened to the public and ended discrimination against LGBTI people. But they won't do it without a fight. They will look for any way to back away from taking a principled stand. Already, Gillard has indicated her support for a conscience vote on the issue, which might sound good, but is actually a sure way to see this discriminatory ban maintained. It is an attempt to placate LGBTI people and supporters of equal rights, without upsetting the anti-equality bigots in the party who can rest safe in the knowledge that discrimination will remain law.

Equal Love rejects this move and demands the ALP adopt binding policy in support of equal marriage rights. LGBTI people must have the same entitlements as others if we are ever to be equal. This means no b-grade version of marriage either, dressed up as 'civil unions'. We need to take this message loud and clear to the Sydney conference.

We're sick of waiting- we demand full equality NOW!
What: Rally and march to ALP conference
When: 12 noon, Saturday 3 December 2011
Where: Hyde Park, central Sydney

Tell Julia You Support Marriage Equality

Dear Equality Supporter,

Today the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, said that same-sex couple should be denied the opportunity to celebrate the meaning of marriage:
"I support maintaining the Marriage Act in its current form and the government will not move legislation to change it. My position flows from my strong conviction that the institution of marriage has come to have a particular meaning and standing in our culture and nation and that should continue unchanged." Prime Minister Julia Gillard

This is despite most Labor State Conferences and State Leaders joining the majority of Australians who believe in equality. We have been contacted by many within Labor, who will keep fighting for equality and are hopeful that a change to the ALP National Platform in support of marriage equality will still happen.

There are three easy ways you can tell Julia Gillard that she is wrong:
1. Contact her office directly by clicking here:
http://www.pm.gov.au/contact-your-pm
2. Sign the GetUP petition to be sent to Labor's National Conference:

http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/marriage-equality/petition/sign-and-share

The Labor Party's National Conference is under a month away. Ultra-conservative elements of the Labor party and pressure groups like the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) know marriage equality will be a hot topic at the conference and are gearing up for a fight.

Last week the ACL launched a new petition to equip the right wing of the Labor Party with the numbers needed to back them up when they stand and speak against equality - this weekend they're blitzing churches across the nation to drive up their petition numbers.

When this petition goes head-to-head with the Australian Christian Lobby's effort on the floor of the ALP National Conference - let's make sure it's bigger!

Media Release, 26th of October, 2011

KERRYN PHELPS & JACKIE STRICKER-PHELPS CONGRATULATED ON NEW YORK MARRIAGE

Australian Marriage Equality has congratulated well known couple Kerryn Phelps and Jackie Stricker-Phelps on their recent marriage in New York. The details of their wedding were released in this month's Womens Weekly.

Australian Marriage Equality national convener, Alex Greenwich, congratulated the happy couple.

"On behalf of the millions of Australians who support marriage equality I congratulate Kerryn and Jackie on their wedding', Mr Greenwich said.

"Their family, friends, and faith have long recognised their love and commitment and now that love and commitment has been legally solemnised and is recognised in over 20 places around the world".

Mr Greenwich said their New York marriage highlights the absurdity of Australia's ban on recognising same-sex marriages:"The fact that Jackie and Kerryn had to go overseas to marry, as well as the failure of the Australian Government to recognise their marriage upon their return, highlights the absurdity of the Australian Government's ban on same-sex marriages."

"For the Australian Government to disregard the solemn marriage vows taken by same-sex partners overseas is an affront not just to these couples but to the institution of marriage itself."

Mr Greenwich said Kerryn and Jackie are one of many same-sex couples who have travelled overseas to get married, but upon their return are not recognised by the Australian Government.

"The love and committment of many gay and lesbian couples is so strong that they will travel far from home at great expense to get married in countries that don't discriminate against them."

Kerryn and Jackie previously had a religious ceremony in a synagoge in New York 13 years agao, and returned this year to have their marriage legally recognised.

Subject: Tropical marine life needs sanctuaries


Dear Linda,

The tropical waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria, Top End, Kimberley, Pilbara and Ningaloo are still a haven for endangered sea turtles, vulnerable dugong, rare snubfin dolphins and migratory humpback whales.

Yet less than 1% of these vast waters are effectively protected - ugly industrialisation is the fate Australia's northern seas are facing unless we act now.

Take Action->
http://lists.wilderness.org.au/lt.php?id=Nh4IDwcOAQkFAlJFAQNRVk4FVwNR

Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke is considering how much of our northern waters he will safeguard. Tragically he has released plans that would leave nearly all of our northern seas open to drilling, mining and fishing.

Act now! Please send a submission into the Federal government's marine planning public consultation process telling him that Australians from around the country want him to do better.

The result could change the future of marine protection forever.

Yours sincerely,

Felicity Wishart
National Marine Coordinator

Hi Debbie,

Tasmania is expected to become the first state in Australia to vote in support of same-sex marriage rights. The Greens, an Australian green political party, will soon table a motion to support marriage equality and to pressure the Federal Government in Canberra to reform marriage laws.

Support marriage equality in Australia! »

If the Federal Government does not act by the end of the year, the Greens will push for state legislation. The motion has full support of Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings, and her party, the Tasmanian Labor Party.

Help Tasmania be the first Australian state to stand behind equality for everyone!

Tell Tasmanian MPs that LGBT Australians have your support. »

Hi Truffy,

Thank you for your interest in Gen Silent. I became involved in this film because it addresses a critical need in our communities that is not being met. After viewing the film, it quickly became clear to me that the messages in this film need to be heard in an effort to enact change so it would be terrific to get this important message heard by your group(s).

At the present time, we do not plan to release the film on DVD. We hope to have the home version of the film available sometime next year via online streaming but group screenings and group exhibitions will continue to be by rental only. If you are interested in showing Gen Silent to your group, we offer the option for a rental fee, which is charged in order for us to continue our work toward getting this important message heard by as many people as possible. Our standard fee is $625 per screening for up to 100 people but we are currently offering a special price of $299 for a limited time to mark the one-year anniversary of our film. Some organizations find sponsors to cover the cost of the film. Estate planning firms, long-term care insurance agents, and care facilities are excellent sources and a great place to start.

You may also want to reach out to nearby colleges/universities with departments such as Social Work, Gerentology, Medicine/Nursing, GLBT Studies, Sociology/Psychology, etc for possible partnerships and of course GLBT groups/centers may offer collaboration opportunities as well.

We offer an additional option of having members of the cast and/or crew attend your event to take questions from the audience and/or participate in a panel discussion. These sessions are very rewarding because they usually result in interesting and worthwhile discussions for everyone involved. If a personal appearance is not possible, we also offer a live Skype session with our Director as an alternative. The fee for a personal appearance is $350 plus travel expenses and the Skype fee is $195.

We also have a training program that was created by the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Gerontology, The LGBT Aging Project and MAD STU Media. If you are interested in pusuring this, please let me know and I will connect you with our folks at VCU that are facilitating the program. For more details, you can review the following site: http://stumaddux.com/gen_silent_TRAINING.html

I hope this is helpful but please let me know if you have additional questions. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Please tell us more about how you wish to show Gen Silent so we can give you an accurate quote.

I work for a large community services organisation, not for profit, that provides various residential and community based supports for older people. We have a current working group looking at improving the response older LGBTIQ folk get from us and wanted to be able to include the Gen Silent stories in out induction of staff and to train up exisiting staff. We already have a compulsory training for all UntingCare Wesley Adelaide workers on undersatnding issues for LGBTIQ folk but want a more specific foucs on older people. Is it possible to purcahse a copy of the DVD on its own?

Also...

Keep me informed with the latest newsletter.

How did you discover this important story?

I saw a pre release screening of Gen Silent at FEAST - the Adelaide queer cultural festival a couple of years ago. The stories were powerful and inspiring.

Wednesday 12 October
Stress less Day

mindshare Site Launch @ the Mercury Cinema at 4.30pm – All welcome

The mindshare site go’s live on the internet today

Visit www.mindshare.org.au

mindshare – an online Mental Health Community

“mindshare is a unique space that allows mental health consumers and their supporters a place to creatively tell their stories. It is a community dedicated to de stigmatising mental illness through shared experiences” – Louise Pascale, Digital Media Officer .

On mindshare you will find artwork, short stories, poetry, photography, original music recordings, mini documentaries, digital stories and blogs submitted by people with lived experience of a mental health problem or illness, as well as their carers, sector workers and friends.

Mental illness can be a long and lonely journey and the pathway to recovery is different for each individual. What aids recovery for one person might be completely different for another but recover we do with assistance through the tough times.

mindshare is a place for people to talk about their lives, issues, and experiences while enriching others with knowledge of their personal experience. Each of us is special, we all have a personal story to tell and mindshare allows us all to shine.

You will find up to date event listings and information from the sector both political and current, information on services and how to gain access to assistance for those in need. There are mental health links and thoughts and ideas on how you might like to be involved in this innovative first for South Australia.

We hope you enjoy mindshare.

Special thanks to the Media Resource Centre, Messenger Newspapers, Mental Health Coalition of SA, Freerange Future, the Social Inclusion Board and Arts SA.

Subject: GLBTI Consultations into the Productivity Report - Adelaide 25th October 2012
Attachment: Consultations flyer Adelaide GLBTI.PDF 706 KB


Alzheimer's Australia have been asked to provide specific commentary on the recently released Productivity Commission Report into Caring for Older Australians and our South Australian office is proud to announce a
specific Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (GLBTI) workshop to focus on both ageing and dementia related issues.

This report identifies for the first time GLBTI communities and individuals as requiring specific focus and responses to ensure adequate and appropriate service delivery into the future however it is only a start. What we need from service providers and consumers in GLBTI communities is their voices on the real issues, the challenges into the future and their solutions. Ian Purcell will be the emcee for the day and facilitate discussion.

This consultation funded by the Department of Health and Ageing will be an opportunity for you and/or your consumers to provide comments on the future of aged care, taking into consideration the diverseness inherent within the GLBTI communities. You can help us inform the government and start to build the change.

From this consultation a report will be submitted to the Minister for Ageing and Mental Health Mark Butler (who hopes to be able to attend at least some part of the consultation) and continue to build on the conversations that are happening around the country.

Please find attached a flier developed by our National Office about the session here in Adelaide and let us know if you would, your organization and/or your consumers would like to be involved. We need your voices to be heard so please spread this message in the communities.

To register follow the directions on the flier and for further information please contact Marie on 8372 2100 or via email
marie@alzheimerssa.asn.au

We look forward to seeing you on October 25 2012.

Subject: FW: GLBTI Consultation

Sorry for cross postings.

Jo Harrison has recommended I contact you - we are hoping you can help us get the message out about an upcoming consultation for the GLBTI communities.

As a result of the recent Productivity Commission Report into Caring for Older Australians, the Minister for Ageing and Mental Health Mark Butler has requested a range of consultations to hear the voices of people impacted now and into the future.

This report is one of the first to actively highlight the specific needs in relation to GLBTI communities however more consultation is required to ensure that any resulting changes or actions take into consideration the voices of these communities. Whilst the Minister has already had a range of consultations across Adelaide this will be the only GLBTI specific consultation. It will take into consideration both the ageing and dementia specific needs of the GLBTI communities.

Although the Minister will not be present for this consultation (I am trying to negotiate to have him there even for a part of it but this is not yet confirmed unfortunately) he has requested the report which will add to the round table discussion in Canberra next week.

It is vitally important to get this message out as far and wide as possible within South Australia and I am hoping you can help us.

I have attached the documents created by our National Office for this event – if you require something else or have further questions please let me know.

Regards
Marie

Subject: Stand up for equal marriage- protest Gillard and ALP conference this December

Hello all,

This December, the ALP National Conference will be debating their policy on marriage rights for same-sex couples.

We have a real chance of seeing the homophobic ban overturned, after seven years of discrimination. But this will only happen if we are prepared to get out there and show how much support there is for equal rights by rallying outside the conference.

So please join Equal Love as we converge on Sydney this December to protest outside the ALP Conference. Make your voice count at this crucial juncture for the campaign!

Time: 12pm
Date: Saturday 3 December 2011
Place: Hyde Park, SYDNEY, marching to the ALP conference

Equal Love can help organise transport and accommodation for interstate attendees. Contacts us at: equalloveaustralia@gmail.com

Check out the facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=192196340827545

Or for more details, go to: http://equallovevictoria.blogspot.com

PLUS:

Julia Gillard will be attending a lunch at the Park Hyatt Melbourne on Wed 28 Sept.

Equal Love and equal marriage supporters in Melbourne will be giving her a taste of what to expect at the ALP national conference, by getting out to protest!

There will be prizes for best costume and best placard! Bring glitter bombs, confetti and a loud voice so we can show Gillard that we are committed to fighting for equal rights until we win!

Time: 11:30am
Date: Wednesday 28 September 2011
Place: Park Hyatt Hotel (near Parliament Station)

She's a great speaker and really committed to feeding back the results of her research to those in the community who are interested. Anyone who works with young people, or with glbtiq people, are clearly part of this constituency.

Lynne is giving a public talk put on by the School of Social and Policy Studies at Flinders at the uni's city venue, on Thursday 8 September.

On Saturday July 16th, the ladies from TEMPTRESS PRODUCTIONS were informed of some big changes regarding LIQWD Bar & Nightclub.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mia (Owner/Manager of LIQWD) has regretfully informed us that as of Monday 18th July 2011, LIQWD Bar & Nightclub will no longer be open for trade under her ownership.

Mia has stated that this is due to major change in the market place, rise in operating costs & the lack of revenue.

Mia and the LIQWD staff would like to thank you for all your support over the past 2 years and many unforgettable memories.

We thank Mia and her staff and wish them all the best in their new endeavors.

We look forward to a bright future for GIRL FEAST.

Due to this outcome there WILL NOT be a GIRL FEAST event in AUGUST, however, we are very excited about our comeback in September 2011.

There is only one way of knowing the facts about GIRL FEAST and that is by joining the TEMPTRESS PRODUCTIONS mailing list www.temptressproductions.com/mailinglist.htm and receiving an email / update from us. Please be patient with us and you will be the first to know of any updates.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Cheers,

THE GIRLS FROM TEMPTRESS PRODUCTIONS XOXO

A BIG thank you goes out to all the girls that attended the GIRL FEAST RETRO PARTY in May.

If you missed out on your copy of this incredible dance CD, you can download it at www.temptressproductions.com , just click on the link. We reached a capacity crowd of girls who were pumped to make a night of GIRL FEAST.

LIQWD is much more than just a club, it has intimate chillout lounge areas with an open fire, including the Ruby Room.

Inside the club is a great dance floor with brilliant sound and lighting where you can lap up the dance energy from Adelaide's hottest ALL GIRL DJ's.

Hi Everyone

First of all Bfriend would like to wish you all a very happy IDAHO.

The international day against homophobia is even more poignant in Adelaide this year considering the attack on peaceful protesters that happened on Saturday.

Secondly - just to let you know that both Paul and myself are now back at work - so if you need to contact us please feel free to do so.

We will be sending out a newsletter in the next short while to let you know what's on in and around the community.

Also, please be aware that our next volunteer training is coming up on June 1 and 2 so if you are interested in becoming a Bfriend vol, please give us a buzz and make some time to come and have a chat about it

Hope that you are all well and keeping warm

DEAR GIRL FEAST GIRRRLS,

Our MAY 20TH GIRL FEAST RETRO PARTY is just around the corner and is going to be more fun than you can poke a stick at. Not only are our themed parties energised with fun and frivolity but now there's another reason to join the GIRL FEAST hype.

Last August saw DJ JOSH release her first GIRL FEAST BY REQUEST VOLUME 1 CD at GIRL FEAST. The response to this first amazing mix was so huge that JoSH has decided to release her GIRL FEAST BY REQUEST VOLUME 2 CD, BEAST MIX! This mix will get you dancing until you drop!

Come to our MAY GIRL FEAST RETRO PARTY early and be rewarded with a FREE COPY OF THE LATEST GIRL FEAST BY REQUEST CD - VOLUME 2 DJ JOSH BEAST MIX. This awesome dance CD is exclusively for the GIRL FEAST girls.

WE WILL BE GIVING AWAY 50 CD'S TO THE FIRST 50 GIRLS THROUGH THE DOOR AT OUR MAY EVENT, THE DOORS OPEN AT 9PM.

Cheers,

THE GIRLS FROM TEMPTRESS PRODUCTIONS XOXO
