Ride For Pride: Featured Biker of the Week

SCOTT FEARING:

Well, well, well…look who's riding this year in Ride For Pride! Gay Alliance Program Director, Scott Fearing! Scott and his partner, Todd, have been our behind-the-scenes saviors during Ride For Pride 2010 and 2011, offering their home as a rest stop and supplying exhausted riders with the most delectable food and drinks. This year Scott will be riding and Todd will be one of our after-ride party coordinators. If you have ever had the privilege of participating in a training lead by Scott you already know that he has incredible passion for LGBT equality, a wicked sense-of-humor that puts people instantly at ease and a heart of gold. What a great way to show your appreciation by sponsoring Scott in his ride this year.

Christopher's Appeal

Amazing and life changing events happen every day at the Gay Alliance that you, our supporters, never get to see.

"Hi, I’m Christopher Hennelly and I want to share with you a stunning observation about a group that until a few weeks ago I didn’t know much

about. I wa s recently retained to provide bookkeeping services for the Gay Alliance. Having lived in Rochester for the past 7 years I knew of the

Alliance as the cool people who do the Pride parade, festival, and picnic."

Trans Basics

For most of its almost forty years, the Gay Alliance has been inclusive of the Transgender Communities. (We stress the plural nature of that word- there are many T-communities.)

The Gay Alliance continues to educate, and advocate for and with members of the transgender communities. In recent months we have helped to coordinate the Rochester Trans Group (RTG) and partnered with the Wegman's School of Pharmacy on the Campus of St John Fisher College to write a paper for the, Innovations in Pharmacy Journal on the importance of including LGBT and specifically trans-inclusive cirriculmn in the training of pharmacists. You can read the article here: http://www.pharmacy.umn.edu/innovations/vol2no4/home.html

Further, the February Edition of the Empty Closet featured extra Trans-specific information and included a 2-page "poster" with transgender information. This poster can be downloaded as a PDF file and hung in class rooms, clinics, offices most anyplace education would be of value. We are pleased to make this important document available to people. If you download, please be patient this is a 9MB file, that way it can be printed 11x17 or larger.
