Empty Closet Community and Reader Survey
Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:52
During the month of March The Empty Closet Newspaper will conduct on on-line community and reader survey to find out more about the Western New York LGBT Communities and the role that the Empty Closet can play in meeting information needs. The longest continuously published LGBT Community Newspaper in the State (and possibly the nation) the Empty Closet has worked to remain current and relevant to a rapidly changing community. In light of shifting media and community demographics it is time to again take the pulse of the community, so please help us by answering a few questions.
Please know that you may remain anonymous when completing the survey. Click on the banner above or this link.
SpeakOUT: Successful LGBT Educator Training
Monday, 29 November 1999 19:00

During the past decade, over 1200 people in seven states have attended the SpeakOUT Training, and now it is your chance!
SpeakOUT training participants become more confident and articulate while talking with others about LGBT issues. A great experience for someone new to LGBT issues, or someone who has lived or worked with the issues for years.
The class is open and appropriate to everyone; all ages, all identities, all experience and will prepare participants to successfully advocate for and address challenges to full LGBT inclusion.
