From http://www.gaycenter.org/out On November 30, 2008, the eve of World AIDS Day, a small group gathered at Pier 49 on the Hudson River walk to dedicate the AIDS Monument. The project of the AIDS Monument Committee took 14 years to come to fruition. Located on the Hudson River Park at Bank Street, the memorial is a 42-foot long, 2-foot tall, 12-inch deep curved granite bench. An inscription on the side facing the river says: ?I can sail without wind, I can row without oars, but I cannot part from my friend without tears.?

From http://www.gaycenter.org/gip Transgender Basics is a 20 minute educational film on the concepts of gender and transgender people. Two providers from the Gender Identity Project discuss basic concepts of gender, sexual orientation, identity and gender roles. Three transgender community members share their personal experiences of being trans and genderqueer. The film targets service providers and others working with the LGBT community, but it also provides a fascinating glimpse into gender and identity for the general public. "Our culture likes to make things simple, and gender isn't." Carrie Davis, Transgender Community Organizer, in Transgender Basics. "It was the constant fight of me saying 'there is nothing wrong with being this kind of girl,' as oppose to, 'well, I'm not a girl.'" Nicco Beretta, participant in Transgender Basics.

From http://www.gaycenter.org/advocacy/issues/prop8 Following the electoral outcomes on four ballot initiatives related to same-sex unions and adoption in California, Arizona, Arkansas and Florida the reaction from the LGBT community is building. Protests are finally starting in New York this week. Earlier this year, Marriage Equality New York sponsored their Fifth Annual Wedding March across the Brooklyn Bridge. This year the march happened in late summer instead of spring, and instead of rain there was sweltering sunshine for the thousands who gathered at City Hall Park to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Here?s hoping that the continued work of our activists and elected officials will make New York the next state to officially recognize same-sex marriage.
