With all the
buzz about the gay marriage decision, I have just done a
mini-survey of what officiants are willing or not
willing to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies. The list
is growing by the hour. Check out
www.myadagiowedding.com and go to the Hot Links
page. Hope it helps.

Anti-Gay Carolers Allowed To Sing In Front Of Target
SACRAMENTO
-- Christmas carolers wearing shirts advertising anti-gay
principles drew bespectacled looks from store patrons as they
sang outside of a Sacramento Target store, officials said
Saturday.
Officials said that
the carolers said that they were peacefully protesting a new
California law that prohibits discriminating against gays in
school curriculum.
The store put out a
no-loitering sign and called the police, but officials said the
carolers were allowed to stay, as they hadn't broken any laws.

After a
period of relative safety, recent events have shown
a sudden growth of intolerance towards members of
minority communities, particularly the LGBT
community. The last few years have seen a steady
honing of homophobic and racist messages emanating
from a growing number of radical groups. The result
of this intolerance was the death of Satendar Singh,
a young man brutally killed during the Independence
Day Holiday in a suspected hate crime.
The years
of safety we enjoyed allowed our community resources
to be forgotten and networks to atrophy. Today we
must rebuild, remember, and not tolerate a single
person being harmed simply because of any particular
group they may belong to.
Dissemination of information: Discovery of community
resources, defining common goals, and statements
from individuals and organizations responding to the
recent escalation in hate crimes. Organizations
will present on various topics, opinions, and offer
resources we have for the greater community to
share.
Social
reception and work session: Develop methods for
community networking of resources, community
statements, and action plans for this and other
issues facing our common communities.
The West
Coast Diversity Summit is open to all diverse
communities, organizations and individuals.
If you
would like to attend please R.S.V.P. to
meeting@outsacramento.com with a name,
organization affiliation, contact information, and
number of guests. If you would like to speak at the
12 PM session, please include a short summary of
content to be presented, and length of time needed.
Walk-ins will be seated based upon space
availability. If you are unable to attend, you may
submit a statement from your organization to be read
aloud.
Please
forward to any individual or organization you
believe may be interested.

Sacramento
baseball (gay) Hello Everyone. I know
there are a lot of you who are interested in
playing softball this spring.
There is currently one GLBT team who will be
playing in a co-ed league city league on
Wednesday nights beginning March 18th. There
certainly seems to be enough interest to have
one or two additional teams! Our first step,
however, is to find people to volunteer to be a
team captain. If you might be interested in
being a team captain, that would be a helpful
first step! I am definitely happy to help you
with all of that.
Eventually we hope to have an all-GLBT league,
however, this is sort of the first step in
heading in that direction.
For complete information contact the Sacramento
Sports Complex (Watt & I-80) at 277-6087. They
will mail you a registration packet.
Registration began February 5th and closes March
2nd. First come, first serve. Cost is $465 per
team before March 6 and $490 after March 6th.
Minimum of 8 games plus playoffs if your team
qualifies.
Let me know if you have any additional questions
and I'll try and answer then as best I can.
Thank you!
Mark Jacobson
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to followup on my previously
email to let you know the approximate cost
per person for the spring co-ed softball
league would be about $40. We hope to hear
from you as we are forming our second team!
Thanks.
Mark

Local Sister does well
Hi all,
My name is Sister Mary Juanita High of the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. I recently became Fully
Professed and now would like to offer my services to all my
queer family in my hometown of Sacramento.
If you are not familiar with the Sisters and what we do, please
check us out at
www.thesisters.org. You can find my bio online there as
well as info about our work. While I currently live in Oakland,
I would be more than happy to lend whatever support I can to all
queer non-profits
in the greater Sacramento area. Sisters do alot of things from
working as gatekeepers at events by collecting donations to
performing blessings and other rituals for those in need. Feel
free to call on me as you would any other nun...just
remember...I'm a queer nun. So I
expect some funny bizness.
Many Blessings to you all!

The
movie Brokeback
Mountain sure is getting a lot of press but isn't expected
to open in this cow town until Jan 6, 2005. Update.
Brokeback Mountain is only showing on 69 screens in the whole
country. King Kong and other releases are showing on
thousands of screens. What's up with that? Why is
this movie not in wider release? It has major actors, a
top director, is winning awards and nominations and could be a
top money maker. Is it because it shows gays as regular
normal acceptable people? Sounds like one of those "vast
conspiracies" I keep hearing about.
Even though it was only on 69 screens it came as #8 money
maker.

Sirius Satellite Radio's gay channel
"Out-Q"
"I
think you should also mention about the gay channel on Sirius
Satellite Radio. It's called "Out-Q" and it's on channel 106.
Their website is:
www.siriusoutq.com
One reason it's worth mentioning is because Sacramento is one of
the few cities with a ground signal transmitter for Sirius
radios, making reception much easier and better."
