Clergy & People of Faith Needed for Press Conference on Marriage Ban Amendment
Wednesday, February 4th @ 9:30
Room 428 of the Capitol Building, Lansing
Michigan clergy and people of faith from The Religious Coalition for a Fair Michigan will descend on the State Capitol this Wednesday, February 4, 2004, at 10a.m. to urge legislators to vote against House Joint Resolution U and Senate Joint Resolution E, the so-called "marriage" amendment.
"Instead of amending our State Constitution to expand civil rights for Michigan citizens, this legislation writes discrimination into law," explains Michael Gibson-Faith of Quaker-based organization, The American Friends Service Committee, which is co-organizing Wednesday's events. "As spiritual people, clergy, and community leaders, we are committed to working for justice and equality for all Michigan citizens, and strongly oppose consideration of any legislation that would limit the rights and benefits of same-sex couples and families."
Gibson-Faith admits that the group of spiritual leaders calling itself The Religious Coalition for a Fair Michigan is diverse in its understanding of homosexuality as a moral issue, but are all one in affirming the full rights of all Michigan citizens and families to equal legal protections that secure and strengthen the family.
Wednesday's events will begin with a press conference in room 428 of the Capitol building in which Coalition members representing Michigan churches and spiritual organizations will explain to the press why Michigan must defeat this cruel, anti-family legislation. After the press conference, Coalition members will fan out to lobby legislators to vote against the proposed Constitutional amendment.
The Religious Coalition for a Fair Michigan represents over 100 Michigan clergy and faith communities. The group includes several Bishops and large churches, as well as many Quakers, Unitarians, and other spiritual communities. While not all members are able to attend Wednesday's events, the group believes that, if passed, the proposed Constitutional amendment would only serve to heighten an already hostile climate of discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender couples and families in Michigan.
Everyone who can should come regardless of whether you want to speak so that we can have a visible presence and a powerful lobbying impact.
For more information contact Michael Gibson-Faith via email or call 734-761-8283.

Peep Show Collective - Women's Group
Greetings!
We are Veronica and Violet, of the Peep Show Collective, a new local group we are forming for women of all sexualities. We exist to open up a sex positive *(see definition below) discussion of women's sexuality with the hope that dialogue can facilitate in the understanding and acceptance of diverse forms of human sexuality. We hope to dispel cultural myths surrounding women's sexuality by creating a safe, healthy space for women to talk about sex and sexuality.
And to get going, we need to know what women want to know about sex. What information is lacking out there? What turns you on? What turns you off? Where is the kink in the greater A2/Detroit area? What sex centered classes/discussions/resources have you always wished existed in your community?
And if women have a specific sex related questions, we are currently accepting questions for the sex-advice column in our publication soon to be appearing around town...
So send us your questions! Send us your thoughts! Send us an email.
And tell your friends to do the same!
Thanks Everyone,
Veronica & Violet

Sex-positive sexuality celebrates the enjoyment of sex and sexuality however-and with whomever-one chooses. It includes looking at diverse sexual practices, emphasizes sexual health and pleasure, and being positive and unapologetic about any consensual sexual practices in which adults engage |

Translating Identity Conference
Saturday, February 28th
University of Vermont
Translating Identity is a FREE conference focusing on gender and gender identities. Open to the public, this event hopes to reach out the University of Vermont, the Burlington community, and the nation as a whole to educate us all further about transgender issues. With multiple panels to choose from at any time, some panels will be directed towards trans people and others will be for those who are fairly unfamiliar with the transgender movement and the topic of gender identity. This conference seeks to translate gender identity to both the queer community and its allies.
This year our keynote speaker is Dean Spade, a transgender activist and attorney who received his J.D. from UCLA School of Law in May 2001. His own experiences of poverty, struggle with public benefits systems, and with gender identity discrimination inspired him to start The Sylvia Rivera Law Project, a project committed to sexual and gender self-determination for all people.

Leadership Experience of LGBT Students Study
Attention Lesbian, Bi, Gay, Trans, Queer, Same Gender Loving, and/or Questioning Students
My name is Kris Renn. I am a faculty member at Michigan State University, in a program that provides education to graduate students seeking careers in the field of college student affairs administration. I am also a former dean of student life at Brown University, where my job included providing programs and services to LGBT students. With my colleague Brent Bilodeau - coordinator of LGBT resources at MSU and a doctoral student in my department
- and three other graduate students I am conducting a study of the leadership experiences of LGBT college students. We have begun work at MSU, are expanding to other institutions in the state of Michigan, and are very interested in involving students from Eastern.
The study involves one one-hour interview a semester with a member of our research team. Students who have already been interviewed report that the interviews are interesting and even fun, providing an opportunity to talk about LGBT identity and leadership experiences in and out of LGBT communities. Interviews are always scheduled at times and in places most convenient for the student, so your participation would not require travel or schedule re-arrangement.
If you would be willing to participate in the project - or would like more information before making a decision - please email or call 517-353-5979.

PLUS new this year, you can VOTE for our "Community Choice Awards." Pick your favorite LGBT travel destination, plus your favorite airline, gay hotel, mainstream hotel, rental car company and cruise line. And tell us why it is your favorite too.
Please use this link to start the survey. You might even win the free airline tickets!

Online Research - Effects of disclosure on personal expression of lesbian women
Hello, my name is Sarah Shafer. I am a senior psychology major at The College of Wooster in Ohio. I am conducting a web-based study for my senior research project on the effects of disclosure on personal expression of lesbian women. Because there has been very limited research on the components of lesbianism and the effects that disclosure of sexual orientation has on the extent to which a lesbian woman expresses her feelings, thoughts and opinions, I encourage you to participate in my study by completing a questionnaire. The questionnaire should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. This questionnaire is completely confidential and as a participant, you will remain anonymous. Further information on the nature of this study is provided on the site of the questionnaire. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email. Any e-mail correspondence will remain confidential.. Thank you very much for your time and cooperation.
