CLEVELAND PRIDE '94

MARCH DEMANDS

We, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community of the Greater Cleveland area, demand of our local, state and federal public officials the following:

Equal rights in child custody, adoption and foster care. State and federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

An end to racism, sexism, ageism and homophobia.

Increases in funding for AIDS education, research and patient care, and universal access to health care including alternative therapy.

Reproductive rights and increases in funding for women's health issues, especially research for women's breast cancer. ▼ Truth in education and acknowledgment of gays and lesbians in all curricula.

▼An end to violence to members of our community.

Our civil rights in housing, employment and public accommodations.

We have a life... not a lifestyle.

It's not too late! We need your help!!!

Dear Friend,

June 10, 1994 There's an old saying that if you want to be liked, enjoy success in the world and never cause a fuss, you should NEVER talk about...

..........

...........

MONEY!!!!!

SEX,.......... GOD,..... POLITICS ........... Please join us in "de Myth tifying" that old maxim. POLITICS........... PRIDE, INC. recently convinced the IRS that we meet the qualifications to become a charitable not for profit organization. With our new 501 (c) 3 status your contribution to PRIDE is now TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Please give as generously as you can to your COMMUNITY OF PRIDE.

GOD.................. On Saturday, June 11, when PRIDE '94 gathers to celebrate our Sixth Annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Pride March and Festival, we will have some rather auspicious company in downtown Cleveland. BILLY GRAHAM is expected to draw tens of thousands to the Stadium throughout the weekend. Many of those tens of thousands will pass through Public Square during our Festival. WE NEED YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOUR COLLEAGUES TO COME TO PRIDE '94 TO SHOW BILLY THAT WE ARE A PROUD COMMUNITY. The radical right cannot quiet us or push us back into the closet. Remember that OTHER old saying . . . “One nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for all . . ." Let's show 'em how we'll count our blessings . . . by the numbers of us celebrating June 11th at our COMMUNITY OF PRIDE MARCH AND FESTIVAL.

SEX..................... Need we say more? We will NOT be oppressed by our sexual orientation, sexual preferences, sexual practices, sexual desires, fantasies or pleasures. We will NOT be separated from the rest of the world judged only by our bedroom activities. We ARE people, human beings, from all walks of life, a RAINBOW of diversity... you get the picture. Come to PRIDE '94 and help us celebrate the wonder of our colorful COMMUNITY OF PRIDE.

MONEY............. We can't do it without you. Pretty simple. We're doing this for YOU and we need YOUR HELP. Please put your MONEY where your PRIDE IS. Please make a tax deductible contribution today.

Your COMMUNITY OF PRIDE is counting on you! With heartfelt PRIDE,

Nancy Logan Scott Hare Pride Inc. Board Members

Ray Newborn Jay Ruffner

I'm Going To Be Part Of Our COMMUNITY OF PRIDE!
