LGBT community plans dialogue on reducing disparities
 
The Times-Standard - 12/26/2010
 
EUREKA -- The "Reducing Disparities Project" will be visiting Eureka on Jan. 5 to host a LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning) community information gathering meeting. It will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Humboldt County Office of Education in Sequoia Room A and B.

This community gathering is the first of three steps in a research grant to identify the mental health disparities and inequities of LGBT Californians.

The first step is to gather together as many LGBT people as possible in an area and find out what is going well for them in their lives, and where there can be improvement.

In the second step, in the coming months the project will hold smaller, statewide focus groups and interviews with community members to gather further information. In the third step, the project will use the information gathered by the communities across California to develop a survey to be distributed statewide.

"All of the information gathered in these successive stages will allow the Reducing Disparities Project to produce a community-driven report that outlines the disparities within California," said Project Manager Poshi Mikalson. "This report will include recommendations that will then guide health policy in the Golden State moving forwarded."

The project is funded by a state grant under the Mental Health Services Act issued to Equality California Institute.

Food will be provided at the meeting. The Humboldt County Community Dialogue is being sponsored by Queer Humboldt and the Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Engineer unfazed by anti-gay criticism, death threats
by Alyaa Alhadjri and Bissme S. / The Sun

PETALING JAYA (Dec 26, 2010): A bold decision to come clean about his sexuality via a clip on YouTube has left 32-year-old engineer Azwan Ismail facing fierce criticism and even death threats.

Azwan's video clip titled "Saya gay, saya okay', attracted 116,127 views and 2,500 comments - many of them virulent - when it was uploaded on Seksualiti Merdeka's YouTube channel.

Seksualiti Merdeka is an annual festival on sexuality organised by a coalition of non-governmental organisations.

This coalition's latest video project, "It Gets Better in Malaysia," has inadvertently turned Azwan into a target for Islamic authorities and conservatives in general, despite the campaign's positive message.

Azman's entry was singled-out from the line-up of 15 contributors to the project and reposted on various online media without his consent, but he did not let it faze him.

"I expected these one-sided comments, but perhaps not to the extent of making death threats. We are only exposed to one point of view on homosexuality," he said when contacted. "I feel there is not enough Malay voices talking about homosexuality."
He has no regrets because his video also attracted the attention of young people in similar situations, who felt uplifted by his message.

The nearly three-minute long video saw Azwan, who is also a writer, saying: "I am confident that things will be better. We have to gather our strengths from around us because there people who can help us and give us the confidence to be ourselves, to face our future..."

Seksualiti Merdeka coordinator Pang Khee Teik said the project was brought to Malaysia to highlight the importance of the message and relevance to the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community.

Pang also expressed disappointment over the "intolerant and vicious comments" made against Azwan, including one that said he should repent, and others which threatened him with violence and death.

"It is strange to read that Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom had asked the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) to monitor the activities of gay groups, but did not also ask them to supervise Muslims who post abusive and vulgar comments," he said.

Last week, Jamil Khir, when asked to comment about the video, had directed Jakim to monitor groups practicing abnormal sexual activities (seks songsang).

"We want their activities to be closely monitored by the authorities, and appropriate preventive actions to be taken, because it could taint the sanctity of Islam," said Jamil Khir, who added that homosexuality is not allowed in Islam.

Among the campaign's supporters include writer and film-maker Amir Muhammad.

"Some people aren't appalled by Azwan Ismail's sexuality. What they are affronted by is that he is a person who is giving his own name, and being completely honest about what he wants to say," Amir told theSun.

On a larger scale, other supporting groups include the PT Foundation, an NGO that works with communities affected by HIV.

PTF acting executive director Raymond Tai said, on average, about 30 to 40% of the calls received by the foundation are related to gender and sexuality issues.

"They are looking for a way to resolve the turmoil and conflict they face due to their sexual orientation," said Tai.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."

URGENT:  Boycott Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time!   Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's was the right thing to do.   Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being.   They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp.  Therefore, goodbye Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy!  The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions!  What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
