Fwd: Emergency Scottsdale HRC Meeting - WE NEED YOU!

We need your help send this out to everyone, there is an emergency
Scottsdale Human Relation Commission meeting scheduled for the 13th at 5pm at 7575 E. Main st. Scottsdale (south on Miller off Indian School).

Please get the message out we need all the people we can get. It would do well to have as many community members there because of the meeting Equality Arizona will be having with the Mayor on the 15th.

Let's fill the room and let the City and the Commission know that we are not happy with the way Scottsdale has been handling there TLGB problems.


I got a few emails for details so... Here's a general run down of what has been happening in Scottsdale:
- Hate Crimes... several of them.
- Transgender people OPENLY, publically barred from Anderson's (And honey, if they can ban the trannies they can ban the gays. Don't doubt it)
- Mayor Manross's beheading of the Queer Pride Month Proclomation.
- General homophobia and transphobia in the city go unaddressed

More details: A transgender woman attacked outside a local establishment, 2 gay men and their car even more recently...verbal harrassment, etc. Recently, Michelle and a few friends were returned their money and asked to leave a club in Scottsdale called Andersons because they're transwomen being told "We don't want your kind here" it's been in the news you may have seen her batteling Anderson's. He is being such an idiot at this point that all transgender people are banned from his establishment openly and he's developing a defense fun. A DEFENSE FUND? He could have simply taken the sign we gave him for the bathroom if it was about bathroom issues as he claimed, so it is obviously plain and simply bigotry.

And to add insult to injury, the Queer Pride proclomation that the Scottsdale Human Rights Commission presented to Mayor Manross was turned down...she instead wrote up a Diversity Month proclomation which went unnoticed by her Scottsdale residents and was followed by more attacks against people in the LBTGQI community.
