Pride is Back
From the mailbag:
Dear Friends:
Your - OUR - efforts are paying off.
A very well-placed source and friend, who has been working behind the scenes (and who was instrumental in ensuring the "Gay" issue was brought up at today's Chamber of Commerce meeting) has given me some feedback: "keep the pressure on -- the (BOCC) commission is really feeling the heat."
Here's what this means:
Keep active. Continue spreading the word to your family, friends and professional colleagues. Stay abreast of action opportunities. Participate in as many that time and conscience allow. Do not relent. As much as possible, maintain your vision, focus, determination and energy!
Visit www.prideisback.org (Equality Florida's separate web page) for up-to-the-minute information on this issue, and to learn of opportunities to take action.
Don't forget to attend Pride events this weekend (www.stpetepride.com), and Sunday's "Pride is Back" March and Rally in downtown Tampa.
There is a tremendous groundswell of grass roots activity going on. We have many, many allies in this good fight; friends and supporters who recognize that this is not simply a "gay rights" issue. You - WE - are not alone. And "right" WILL prevail.
