The EqualityNC Lobby Day 2006
Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 9am - 3pm
General Assembly Bldg, Raleigh, NC
www.equalitync.com/lobbyday/
From the EqualityNC Website:Is helping to achieve LGBT equality worth one day off from work this year? We hope you can answer that question with a resounding YES.
The far right is once again pushing to amend our state constitution to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender North Carolinians. They want to make us permanent second class citizens. We need your help to stop them! Attend Equality NC Lobby Day 2006 this year on Tuesday, June 6th.
We’ll provide training on how to talk with elected officials and bring you up to speed on the key issues this session, then send you off for appointments with your legislators. A mid-day press conference and rally will get our message out to legislators and the state.
QCYNT (”q-cent”), the Queer College Youth Network of the Triad, is proud to by a Supporting Partner of the EqualityNC Lobby Day. If you are a Triad QCYNT supporter, Triad college student or affiliated with a Triad college/university, please sign up to attend the Lobby Day with QCYNT at: http://eqfed.org/equalitync/events/lobbyday2006/details.tcl?
Make sure that you put “QCYNT” in the partner organization box!

This event for bloggers was started by a blogging lesbian mom by the name of Dana Rudolph (Mombian.net).
I’ll be participating and you should, too.
Here are the juicy details from Mombian.net:
What is Blogging for LGBT Families Day? Blogging for LGBT Families Day is a time for bloggers to write about LGBT family issues and collectively raise awareness of LGBT families, our diverse nature, and how current prejudices and laws negatively impact our lives and children. I aim to make people more comfortable interacting with LGBT families and discussing LGBT families with their own. I also hope the event will make people more informed voters, showing them how their decisions at the polls directly affect the families in their communities.
When is it? June 1, 2006. This date falls exactly between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. As such, it honors mothers and fathers equally, but also conveys that not all families fit into the traditional structure of one mother and one father. June 1 is also the start of LGBT Pride Month.
Who can participate? Any blogger, LGBT or straight, who wishes to support the goal above. I expect participants to include LGBT parents and parents-to-be, children of LGBT parents, parents of LGBT children, straight parents, other LGBT individuals, and other straight allies.
Why should I participate? By participating, you help show the strength of those who support LGBT families and their rights. Your blog may also receive exposure to an audience it wouldn’t otherwise reach, since I hope to get coverage for this event in both LGBT and non-LGBT blogs and other media.
