Pride Center Rally Against Palladino's comments


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: October 11, 2010             

The Pride Center of WNY Organizes Rally to Decry Carl Paladino’s Homophobic Comments

Buffalo, NY – “I don’t want our children brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option” Carl Paladino. In response, Jorien Brock, Senior Director of the Pride Center of WNY states: “This is exactly the kind of appalling public discourse that perpetuates anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender violence and tells our young LGBT folks that they are alone, do not have other options, and leads them to commit suicide.” Brock continues” And what is this about an option? Aren’t we past the point of even having a discussion about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered folks choosing to be who they are. This is not an option…it IS who we are, and who we are is very good.”

In response to the outrageous and disparaging comments made by Mr. Paladino, The Pride Center is inviting the community to stand by them in a public rally to protest these comments at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 12 in front of Mr. Paladino’s campaign headquarters at 295 Main Street in the City of Buffalo. This will be a peaceful rally to show Mr. Paladino, the people of Western New York and those throughout New York State that he does NOT speak for us.

Mr. Paladino states that “we” should not get him wrong, he does not want to hurt LGBT people?. “This is exactly what he is doing;” states Brock,“This language is hateful and hurtful.” Suicide is the number one cause of death for young LGBT people. More gay youth than any other group take their own lives because they are afraid, they do not feel safe, they do not believe they can grow up to be loved, they feel that society does not and will not accept them for who they are.

The mission of the Pride Center is to work with the community to make Western New York a safe, healthy, and satisfying place for LGBT people to live, work, and establish their families. We want people to know that you are not alone, there are people and resources here to support you, and perpetuating discrimination against LGBT people will not be tolerated.

Aloe explosion

I wanted to repot my huge aloe and give it some breathing room.there is a lot more in it than I thought.... Before picture, current explosion on the kitchen table. If you want some aloe plants contact me and you can have them. I successfully potted a nice spider plant and a phylladendron.

all-terrain poodle

Nisha is such a cool dog. She crossed this creek on a fallen log by herself (i slipped the first time across). I used the gaia map app and it worked well. I'll post the track next.
