Light Up The Night For Equality by Join the Impact (links below)

 

Saturday December 20th 5pm at Downtown Plaza between Macys and 7th Street, Sacramento

 

At 5 PM on Saturday December 20th, meet at the Sacramento Downtown Plaza for a nation-wide, peaceful gathering to make an impact on the private sector. This candlelight vigil, held at commercial centers around the country, will be in remembrance of the rights that were lost for 18,000 marriages, and in honor of the rights that one day will be again - for EVERYONE.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
• 5 PM--Downtown Plaza between Macys and 7th Street, Sacramento
• This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
• We'll dress alike: make a "Second Class Citizen" t-shirt. White with blue lettering.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?
* Hosting peaceful lighted vigils
* We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bear signs. Instead, we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects. Bring battery powered candles or flashlights since we will be inside.
* Singing and/or silence encouraged... NO CHANTING.. keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.

This is a sad day for California and the USA when discrimination is written into our state constitution.  Although this great land talks of "equal," "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and the separation of church and state it has once again failed to live up to the founding fathers' promises.  Gays do not have equal rights; civil unions, military service, social security are facts of discrimination.  Electing an African American president shows one more step forward to equality for all.  Writing anti-gay discrimination into a state constitution shows one big step backward to equality for all.

Gay man attacked in Midtown Thursday,
 
A gay man was assaulted on Thursday, June 19, at approximately 1:45 a.m. while walking alone after leaving a Midtown bar near 20th and J streets. He was hospitalized with injuries and released from the hospital on Friday afternoon. The attackers are believed to be three or four white males, according to witnesses who observed the attack.
 
The attackers allegedly used homophobic slurs during the attack. The victim also was robbed. The attack is not believed to be related to earlier hate crime attacks that have occurred in recent weeks, according to Capt. Darrell Fong of the Sacramento Police Department.

Beating Of Gay Sac Man Appears To Be Hate Crime at cbs13.com ― Marquis Bryant says he was just leaving a nightclub when four men beat him so badly he had to be hospitalized.

 
June 1, 2008
A gay male couple was assaulted after attempting to intervene in a fight near their residence at approximately 1 a.m. Sunday, June 1, near the intersection of E and 28th streets.
 
The two victims, one of whom was dressed in drag, were returning to their home when they observed a man shouting and threatening to stab and beat up another man. When they called out to the alleged perpetrator to "calm down," he turned on them, chasing them and yelling gay slurs. He broke off a 3-foot length of fence picket and struck the victim who was in drag, then picked up a metal chair and threw it at the victim. Acting in self-defense, the victim picked up the chair and struck the alleged perpetrator before fleeting to the safety of his home.
 
Sacramento Police officers responded to the scene and arrested the alleged perpetrator, who has not yet been arraigned.
 
The incident appears to be the third anti-LGBT hate crime in Sacramento in less than three weeks. On May 15, a gay man and his straight cousin were attacked by a group of man at a gas station near Richards Boulevard. Three men were charged with robbery and assault with a hate crimes enhancement, and police are seeking a fourth suspect who was caught on surveillance video.

 
May 27, 2008 
On May 27, two homeless transgender men were attacked by an assailant identified by police as a "skinhead." The assailant was arrested after one of the victims stabbed him in the leg and charged with robbery, battery against a peace officer and interfering with one's civil rights.
 
The Stonewall Democratic Club of Sacramento, Sacramento Gay & Lesbian Center and Rainbow Chamber of Commerce urge members of our community to continue to remain alert, mindful of their surroundings and aware of others' behavior.
