This Is Why I Pride!
The property these two beautiful souls left behind helped to build the center, along with bake sales, car washes, and other various events. Many of you saw my rainbow vest, these were made and sold to help build the center.
The centers card is in the comments, I keep it as it reminds me of what is possible when we come together for change.
So many dances, parties, meetings and get togethers, memories are made with the people you surround yourself with, share your memories of why you Pride…

Roxanne Kay Ellis and Michelle Abdill were le***an partners who settled in the southern Oregon town of Medford, Jackson County, in 1990.

As part of LGBTQ+ History Month, we recognize Matthew Shepard not only for the life he lost, but for the love that grew in its place. 💛

Matthew’s parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, turned their grief into action by establishing the Matthew Shepard Foundation, fighting for stronger hate crimes laws, and speaking out on behalf of LGBTQIA+ people and their families for decades. Their work helped lead to the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, a U.S. Federal law which expanded federal hate crime protections and also supports state and local investigations.

Today, we honor Matthew and the difference his story has made. 🌈

I Pride for the Mathew’s, Roxanne’s and Michelle’s that we have lost, only because they lived.

Matthew Shepard did not die in vain and his legacy still lives toda...

BREAKING🚨🏳️‍🌈 Two men asked a San Jose State student if he was gay, then punched him in the head more than two DOZEN times while yelling slurs, prosecutors say.

It happened at 3:44 a.m. on Saturday, September 19, on the downtown San Jose State campus. The student was walking with two female friends when the two men passed them, asked him if he was gay, and started shouting anti-gay slurs, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. The three of them ignored it and kept walking.

The men ran after him. Prosecutors say they knocked him down, punched him in the head more than two dozen times and kicked him, using the slurs the entire time.

One of his friends threw herself on top of him to take the blows. Prosecutors say the two men hit her too.

Campus police arrived while the attack was still happening and arrested both men as they ran, before they could get off campus. Security cameras recorded the whole thing. The student was treated at a hospital and released.

Josue Medina Flores, 19, of Sunnyvale and Christian Gabriel Nunez Petty, 20, of Fremont are charged with felony assault with hate crime enhancements. Neither attends the university. They appeared in court Wednesday, entered no pleas, and are being held without bail. They are due back October 7 and 8. The victim's mother spoke at the hearing and told the court she is afraid of what happens if they are released.

"They attacked him viciously without purpose," Deputy District Attorney Dan Okonkwo said. "These defendants didn't just harm the victim in this case. They also harmed the entire community."

District Attorney Jeff Rosen: "If you hurt someone because of their race, religion, gender, or sexuality, you will be arrested and prosecuted."

That office says this is the 14th hate crime case it has filed this year.
