Can you believe it, NOM is coming to Town

Yes, they are coming to town, well they coming to Raleigh, NC on the 10th of August. They will be set up on the south side of Capital Building..

From Ms R Mann of ENC

"There are several individuals and groups organizing NOM counter-protests (links to their pages below). ENC will have a "truth squad" there to speak with media, but otherwise is directing people to the grassroots efforts that others have put together.

By all reports their tour isn't going too well the most they have had is 54, however going by Brian and Maggie their rallies had over hundreds.

I have been told one of the above events creator has a permit to counter protest, so we shouldn't run into any problems there..

So if you are free and able to attend this please do so. We must drown them out, and Show that LGBT's of the Carolinian's are united in this cause. That we will not take their Homophobia setting down. We will no-longer stand on the side lines while they try to walk all over us..

Protest in Pitt Co.

Randy Allen Toler sent a message to the members of Pitt County Board of Commissioners Protest for Gay Rights.

--------------------
Subject: Protest tomorrow morning...

Alright everyone! The moment is upon us!

Tomorrow morning we will give Pitt County a dose of reality. In events like this, you never really know what to expect. Keep a cool head and please remember that we are representing our community at large...

People will stare at us, because we dare to stand and be seen - let them. People will honk and give us the finger as they drive by, on the way to drop off their 4 year olds at the Christian daycare - let them.

Tomorrow is not about us; tomorrow is about equality. Tomorrow is about telling Greenville that we want to be able to make medical decisions if our life-partners are incapacitated. Tomorrow is about telling Greenville that we want the same rights to adopt children, as the crack-mom has to give birth to them. Tomorrow is not about us - tomorrow is about all of the pre-teens growing up in Pitt county who turn to self-destruction, rather than face a life of hatred and ignorance enforced by the very same Board of Commissioners that "serves" them.

So tonight as you're making signs, rainbow flags, and witty tee-shirts, remember the old song from the musical "Ragtime"....

"Go out and tell our story, let it echo far and wide. Make them hear you"


Faithfully yours,

Randy Toler
