Gratitude Report 2006-07

Transcription

One year of giving. The gift of one day.
The gift of one day with:
Sara Wiener, Joanne Richter and Bella Wiener
Bend, ORegon Sara and Joanne have lived in Bend, Oregon for 10 ½ years
raising daughter Bella, age 10. Sara is an artist, designer, and community organizer,
and Joanne is a water resources scientist.
How easy is it for LGBT people to be
open and visible in your community?
When we first moved to Bend,
very few LGBT people were open
and visible here. That has definitely
changed over the past 10 years, but
I’m continually amazed by how many
in the LGBT community still live
relatively closeted lives here. Two years
ago, in direct response to a hate crime,
Sara worked very hard with a group
of people who eventually got the
City of Bend to adopt an antidiscrimination policy. Yet many in
the LGBT community still do not feel
safe being out in their workplace or
in public. I understand the reality that
many still don’t feel safe being out; that
reality just saddens me. I truly believe
that the more we’re out, the more we
can educate our community, and in
that way all become more accepted
and accepting.
In the 10 years we’ve lived here, we’ve
only experienced two homophobic
acts directed towards us. Everybody
we directly associate with in our work
and daily lives, and every teacher and
administrator at Bella’s school, has been
totally accepting of us and our family.
What is the most recent thing you
have done for equality?
Along with other members of Basic
Rights Oregon, Sara and I
met with the Editorial Board
of our local paper. We talked
about our lives and experiences,
and the importance of our
state legislature passing antidiscrimination and domestic
partnership bills. The House and
Senate have subsequently passed
these important bills and the
Governor will soon sign them.
And, our usually conservative
paper wrote two editorials in
support of these bills!
Bella had a two-day soccer tournament
which we spent most of the weekend at.
Other photos show me, Joanne, in the
kitchen and Sarah and Bella relaxing
with our dog.

Tell us about your family?
I was removed from my biological
family at the age of 6, so I am
not really close to any of them.
However, I have a partner of 4
years and his family is my family.
My father figure, who will be
adopting me after I graduate from
college, was my 6th grade music
teacher. I met him when I was
living in an abusive foster home.
He helped me by giving me voice,
acting, and dancing lessons in
exchange for yard work. He didn’t
know it at the time, but I truly
believe that he saved my life by
being part of it.

What is the most recent thing you
have done for equality?
I am currently on the National Foster
Youth Advisory Council. We are
trying to level the playing field for
foster kids through legislation that
would give foster youth college tuition
waivers, as some states have this but
there are many that don’t. This would
enable foster kids to go to college, and
be competitors in society for good jobs
and leadership positions. This summer
I am also touring the country with the
2007 FosterClub All-Star program.
I am passing on crucial skills that
enable former foster youth to
teach others preparing to age
out of the foster care system
how to deal with biological
family, abuse and neglect,
find education, and even
deal with identity issues that
come with being a foster kid.
Youth impacted are of all
nationalities, backgrounds,
and sexual orientations.

Tell us about your family. Do they live
close to you? Are you close to them?
Our family consists of four dogs and
three cats. Ann’s mom and dad live in
St. Louis and Cynthia’s mom lives in
Salt Lake City. We are very close to all
of them. Cynthia has four siblings and
we are especially close to her nephews.
How easy do you think it is for lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
people to be open and visible in your
community?
Ann (l) and Cynthia (r)
What are you most proud
of in your life? Why?
Cynthia is proud of
completing her doctorate in
social work as she is the only
person in her immediate
family to get a college
degree, let alone a Ph.D.
Through her work, she hopes
to educate future social
workers to go out and make
the world a better place.
Ann is proud to be the only
physician in her family and is
privileged to care for many types
of people who trust her with their
dreams and fears.

We have only lived in this community
for a short while and although the
LGBT community seems close, it is
not very visible. Given the conservative
nature of Idaho in general, it is
somewhat difficult to be completely
open and visible. The recently passed
constitutional amendment just
reinforces that fact.
If we could do something to help our
community, we would pass progressive
policies that structure opportunity and
provide social services that help people
to reach their potential.

John Longres
Se at t le, Washing ton John is 70 years old and a retired Professor of Social Work
from the University of Washington. He is a former Pride Foundation board member and recently
endowed a scholarship at Pride Foundation for people of color pursuing social work degrees.
What is your family like?
I lost my lover of 28 years in 1995, but
in January of 2005 I met my loverto-be, Jeff, on the Internet. After a
year-and-a-half courtship, we moved in
together. At 69, I started living happily
ever after all over again.
P RID E FOUNDATION
My life has changed a lot with Jeff. For
much of my adult life I lived somewhat
closeted from my family. It took my
partner’s death to end all that. I am
now close to my deceased partner’s
family, to my three sisters, and now to
Jeff’s children, grandchild, and tons
and tons of relatives. I would never
have thought of living with so much
family but I am adapting very well and
enjoying it a whole lot.

What have you learned that you
would like to teach others?
Because of my age, I know a lot of
older men. I am always sad when I
hear them say that they see no need
to tell their family and friends that
they are gay. That is my generation,
so I understand their attitude. But
I do find myself encouraging them
to come out. I spent a lot of my
life in an ajar closet. I was never
really closeted but deliberately
avoided telling my family for fear of
rejection. Coming out to the whole
world, as I am now, is the best
thing that ever happened to me. My
real friends, including my family,
couldn’t have been more accepting.
A wonderful day full
of friends and family!
Bradford Broadnax & Dennis Lacy
years and celebrated their 4th anniversary on July 23, 2006 with a commitment ceremony. Brad
has volunteered on the grants review committee for Pride Foundation Washington Peninsula.
What is the most recent thing
you have done for equality?
Last July we had a commitment
ceremony in our church. We have
been very active in our church
as an openly gay couple and we
invited a diverse group of family,
friends, and fellow parishioners.
For many, it was the first time
they attended a gay commitment
ceremony. Additionally, we
requested that instead of giving
gifts to us, people make a
donation to the Pride Foundation.
We think that we have plenty
in our lives and this was a very
meaningful way to share with
others what is important to us.
who should, by their own experience,
have the insight and wisdom to be
more aware and accepting of other’s
differences. In our personal lives,
we acknowledge and celebrate our
individual differences very freely and
openly, and when given the opportunity,
we use public forums to make ourselves
known as a committed gay couple.
We’ve certainly done this with our
family and friends, but we’ve also done
so within our neighborhood, workplaces,
and spiritual community. We seek and
welcome into our lives people of diverse
ages, races, gender, political persuasion,
and spiritual beliefs. We cast our net for
friendships wide.
We wish that the LGBT
community were more accepting
of its own people. There seem to
be many divisions among people
Celebrating our
commitment with
family and friends
If you could make your
community different for LGBT
people, what would you do?

Port Angeles, WA shing ton Cherie, Nancy, and Sharon all
work for Family Planning of Clallam County, a Pride Foundation grantee.
What is life like for LGBT people
in Port Angeles?
The experience varies by individual.
There are community residents who
are comfortable being open and
visible. In fact, the agency’s last
Teen Health Advocate was quite
open with his boyfriend in our
small downtown. However, there
are people who are more fearful.
Cherie has the phone number of a
transgender individual who wishes
to serve as a contact for anyone who
needs support. However, Cherie
is the only person in the agency
allowed to have the phone number.
At the same time, Port Angeles has
hosted a conference for transgender
people since 1989.
This is why we are all proud to work
on the Honoring Women’s Health
Project. Because of the wide range
of comfort and community support,
we serve our clientele based on their

individual comfort level and accept and
serve them, whatever their needs are.
Our goal is to create a space and a
program that is safe, respectful, and
flexible, which we hope ultimately
improves their health and well-being.
If you could make your community
different, what would you do?
We would create an open, prideful
community that celebrates who
we all are, one that celebrates our
differences while rejoicing in our
similarities. We all live in the same
beautiful corner of the state and we
all bring something interesting to
the fabric. This MUST apply to our
schools, workplaces, parenting circles,
faith-based communities, businesses,
media, and much, much more.

Mat-Su Valle y, Al aska Juan has lived all his 38 years
in Alaska. A full-time graduate student, Juan is transgender and a
Pride Foundation scholar.
What are you most proud of
in your life? Why?
I am most proud of educating
people about transsexualism by
appearing on talk shows and
giving presentations in college
and high school classrooms. My
twin sister and I just spoke at a
psychological conference at the
University of Alaska-Anchorage.
I believe that society needs to
know that gender orientation
is a lot like handedness, in that
transsexualism and same-sex
attraction are normal, but do
not occur as frequently. We are
different, and people who are
different in these ways do not
have a mental health issue.
How easy do you think it is for lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
people to be open and visible in your
community?
Picking your friends wisely makes it
much safer to be out. I am very visible
and so far have not had any negative
repercussions, except for the reaction
of the church to which I used to belong
before I started to transition. The world at large
is more tolerant of my gender variance than the
people with whom I grew up.
With my twin sister, Liana.
She is great support to me!

How easy do you think it is
for lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) people
to be open and visible in your
community?
This is why the work of Brother To
Brother is so vital in the LGBT/Q
community. We are working to end
discrimination and disparities for
African American/Black LGBT/Q
folks both within the LGBT/Q
and African American/Black
communities, as well as in the general
wider communities. It is easy in
places like Portland and Oregon for
Black people to be ignored because
of a lack of visibility and inclusion
in both the movement and in
prominent organizations. Our media
representation is significantly limited,
our voices are significantly unheard,
and our opinions are significantly
unrepresented or misrepresented.
Brother To Brother hopes that through
our work we will bring new light, new
opportunity, new leadership, and new
access to all LGBT/Q people
of color to enhance and
improve our overall quality
of life—free of the fear of
being shamed, excluded,
or abused.

It seems that it is easier for LGBT
people in general to live openly
and visibly. However, this is
less so for people of color. There
is still significant stigma and
homophobia in communities of
color, which makes living openly
and visibly much more difficult.
This is not to say it does not or
is not happening, but it is more
difficult. People can live more
openly and visibly, but at what
cost to remaining part of the
community they know the best
and are supposed to be most at
home in?

Pride Foundation’s financial health
remains strong in fiscal year 2006/07.
Our endowment is now at $3.6 million
dollars (investment portfolio and trusts)
ensuring long-term stability and funding
for the community. Individual donors
continue to be the strongest source
of support, contributing 89% of our
annual income. We have completed the
3rd year of a 5 year strategic plan and
continue to devote enhanced resources
toward building regional leadership and
communities. This year we launched a
Pride Foundation Regional Community
in Columbia/Willamette and expanded
the reach of 3 existing communities to
encompass 28 more counties in WA and
ID. In addition, significant investments
were made in Montana’s LGBT leaders,
in preparation for that community’s
launch in fiscal year 2007/08.
