It's Not Just "Faggot" End Homophobia Now!

Its Not Just Faggot Institutionalized discrimination, bullying, increasing HIV rates and legal inequality are symptoms of the same disorder: homophobia. When others attack and hate on the LGBT community, creating a climate where our very lives are at stake, we have an individual and collective responsibility to fight back. How can we better organize to confront homophobia and heterosexism? How do we eradicate the hate and create an environment where our health, wellness, and human rights are respected and nurtured? Join Project CRYSP, Equality Illinois, and the Chicago Black Gay Mens Caucus for a town hall event to discuss, analyze and strategize with community leaders Keith Green (CBGMC), Rick Garcia (Equality Illinois), Vernita Gray (Cook County States Attorney) and moderator Simone Koehlinger (Cook County Department of Public Health). How do we end homophobia? The answer is you. Wednesday, December 8th Light appetizers at 6pm Program begins at 7pm Center on Halsted, Hoover-Leppen Theatre 3656 N. Halsted St., Chicago, IL This event is free, but you must RSVP to attend!
