On Saturday, October 17th, The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force will present the 2009 Eddy McIntyre Community Service Award to MDGLCC President Steve Adkins. Steve Adkins has been a major supporter and enabler of local LGBT organizations. He has played an important role in promoting LGBT-friendly businesses and educating local leaders about LGBT workplace issues. We invite you to join us as we recognize his contributions to the LGBT community at this 2009 Eddy McIntyre Community Service Award event.
The 2009 Eddy McIntyre Community Service Award event includes a dinner, which is an important fundraiser for the LGBT community. One-third of the proceeds from the Miami events dinner are donated to the Task Force. The LGBT Task Force played a major role in protecting Miami-Dade’s Human Rights Ordinance by contributing more financial and human resources than any other national organization. The remaining two-thirds of the Miami events proceeds will go to the Dade Community Foundation’s GLBT Community Projects Fund. In return, the Foundation presents grants to Miami-Dade LGBT service organizations including Youth Services, Pridelines, Switchboard of Miami and Miami Beach Gay Pride. Over the last four years, about $800,000 has been returned to the local community.
To become one of the Miami events sponsors, to endorse a particular part of the event or reserve a table, visit www.theTaskForce.org/miami. Pledges received by August 27th will be noted on the Miami events invitations.

In this concert the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus will celebrate their first decade of gay Miami events through performances of favorites from ABBA to Elton John directed by Anthony Cabrera. Following will be the premiere of Miami Gay Men’s Chorus’ Through a Glass, Darkly, a bold new choral performance that shows what you get when you combine the drama of contemporary relationships with a crystal methamphetamine addiction, a growing real-life problem in the community.
The music and lyrics, written by Michael Shaieb, combines club beats with brilliant solos and is closed with a powerful edge by the entire Miami Gay Men’s Chorus. On Friday, June 19th, the gay Miami events will be at 8:00PM. On Saturday, June 20th, there will be a show at 2:00PM and another at 8:00PM.

Today is the kick-off of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival which will run through May 3rd. The 2008 Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival suffered as festival membership dropped 15 percent as a result of disillusioned fans who attended the 2007 festival which featured more experimental and dark programming.
Organizers of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival promises that this year will be much more different. The 10 day festival will feature 67 films from 17 different countries. The films will be more mainstream gay comedies and dramas created with a “queer perspective.” Thirteen of the films target lesbians while seven are in Spanish or Latin-based. Check out the venues and schedule on the website. Tickets are $11 and $7 for members. You may purchase tickets at www.MGLFF.com. For more information, call 305-534-9924.
David Paterson, Governor of New York, will introduce legislation this week to legalize same-sex marriage. Paterson’s take on the issue is that it is clearly wrong and unjust to deny gays and lesbians in civil unions up to 1,350 civil protections including healthcare and pension rights just because they are not married.

David Paterson, Governor of New York, will introduce legislation this week to legalize same-sex marriage. Paterson’s take on the issue is that it is clearly wrong and unjust to deny gays and lesbians in civil unions up to 1,350 civil protections including healthcare and pension rights just because they are not married.
Paterson believes that the ethical action to be taken regarding the issue correlates with the political action that should be applied to the situation. Distributing equal rights to all people is the “only ethical way to treat people who want to live together in peace under the civil law.”

This past Saturday was Miami’s first Pride festival in honor of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders. Although Miami is known as being one of the world’s gay capitals, many say that Miami may have a lot of gay people but not a gay community. The last time that Miami attempted to host a Pride event was in 1998 at Bayfront Park. With only 4,000 attendees, the event was considered a failure.
Saturday, gay and straight couples rode proudly through the parade on Ocean Drive that stretched from 5th to 14th street. The parade featured floats with shirtless dancing men from Twist, cars and the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus singing Over the Rainbow. Rainbow pride flags were seen around every corner and in ever nook and cranny of the Pride festival. Miami Beach is hoping to once again become a top destination among gay tourists. The parade also featured Patti LaBelle and fashion designer Richie Rich.

As of the last count, 3,535 children await adoption in Florida’s state custody. However, the attorney general’s office recently made sure to tighten the belt on a law that prohibits gay adoption in Florida.
At the same time that this is posing discrimination against gays, it is also adding to the obstacles that these foster children will face in hopes of finding a home. This law is not saving these children from anything. Judge Cindy Lederman summarized 30 years of research in the following statement: “Based on the evidence presented from experts from all over this country and abroad, it is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person’s ability to parent.
Sexual orientation no more leads to psychiatric disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, relationship instability, a slower life expectancy or sexual disorders than race, gender, social-economic class or any other demographic characteristic.” Way to add to an overwhelming problem.
