Monday Jun 5th, 2006 4:19 PM
The anti-choice queer organization, "Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians" will be marching in no less than three Pride Parades this year. Check out http://www.plagal.org/ for more details. Contact bacorrinfo [at] riseup.net for more information.
It's important to note that this information is not being posted to suggest the expulsion of this or any other anti-choice organization or individual. They exist whether they march or not. The question for those of us who know there is no freedom without meaningful control of our bodies just need to ask ourselves how our culture compares-in determination, in vision, in responsiveness. Where will you be that day? And how will you show your support for women and men alike to the sole ownership of their bodies, and their lives? ******************************************************** Coming to a Pride near you -- PLAGAL will be participating in three different Pride events this year. We will have booths in Washington DC, Boston and San Francisco. We will be distributing various brochures and materials from PLAGAL as well as discussing our views with Pride participants. Board members will be at each event to head up the booth, but volunteers are always needed. If you are interested in helping with any of these events, please contact us. 202-223-6697 Contact Page PLAGAL PO Box 16753 Alexandria, VA, 22302-0753 Boston Pride - June 10 in Boston, MA Capital Pride - June 11 in Washington, DC San Francisco Pride - June 24 & 25 in San Francisco, CA thanks 4 photos from Central Valley

Thanks for taking + posting these photos.
Living in SF, it's hard 4 me 2 imagine open queerity in the "red counties"*. These photos make it easier. (*My experiences of inland California are quite limited, and pre-Stonewall.) |
