Taking on Amendment One Through Faith: A discussion about the religious freedom legal challenge to Amendment One.
On April 28th, a federal legal challenge to Amendment One was filed on behalf of clergy from across faith traditions, same-sex couples and the United Church of Christ. The case challenges the constitutionality of marriage laws in North Carolina – including Amendment One – that ban marriage between same-sex couples and make it illegal for clergy to perform wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples within their congregation.
Please join the Campaign for Southern Equality and Equality NC for an in-depth discussion about the case! Speakers will include:
* Reverend Nancy Petty, Plaintiff in United Church of Christ vs. Cooper and Pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church.
* Reverend Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, Executive Director of the Campaign for Southern Equality.
To learn more about the case visit: www.amendmentonechallenge.org

Subject: Please support our LGBTQ affirmative research among Latinos
Dear Eastern North Carolina LGBT Commuity,
We are researchers at the University of Massachusetts Boston’s (UMass Boston) LGBTQ Research Team and are conducting an LGBTQ-affirmative study on life experiences of LGBTQ people. Please help us recruit participants by either forwarding this email to members of your organization or share via social media the description of our study (below). Our findings will help develop culturally sensitive HIV prevention and intervention programs to help Latino men who have sex with men or who identify as gay. We would be happy to share our findings with your group if you let us know that you are interested.
The University of Massachusetts Boston’s LGBTQ Research team is conducting a brief LGBTQ-affirmative study on safe sex practices of Latino men who have sex with men or who identify as gay. The study takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and anyone who is 18 or older and identifies as Latino and has sex with men or identifies as gay is eligible to participate. You will have the chance to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card! You can access the survey at https://www.psychdata.com/s.asp?SID=151006
The study has been approved by our university Institutional Review Board. Thank you for your consideration in supporting our LGBTQ-affirmative research. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at latinosexstudy@gmail.com.
