Kansas Equality Coalition of North Central News North Central Chapter Greetings, if you are looking for the JOCO chapter you found us. We are in a rebuilding stage at this present time. [ Posted: Wednesday Sep 1 2010, 11:18 am | More Details...] Dear fellow Equality Coalition members: In the aftermath of last week’s death threat, I have received countless messages of encouragement and support. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. There are many reasons I'm running for House of Representatives, and none of them have to do with personal gain or glory. The LGBT community in this state needs someone that can speak as one of us. Having straight allies is wonderful and necessary, but until we actually have someone from the LGBT community representing us in Topeka, our voice will never truly be heard [ Posted: Tuesday Aug 31 2010, 2:12 pm | More Details...] Dear friends, As many of you know, one of our Equality Coalition members, Dan Manning, is running for Kansas House of Representatives in Wichita. Originally from southern Georgia, Dan is a West Point graduate who served for 8 years in the US Army before being discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Dan has since made Kansas his home and directed his passion for serving our nation in to a campaign to serve in the state Legislature. Dan’s opponent is long-time incumbent Brenda Landwehr. Landwehr, a notorious far-right conservative, has been a vocal opponent of equal rights for gay, lesbian and transgendered Kansans. Since February, she has used Dan’s sexual orientation to stir up her constituent. She has gone so far as to use language that Dan was told was “too offensive” to repeat. [ Posted: Tuesday Aug 24 2010, 6:46 pm | More Details...] Greetings members, Tomorrow is Primary Election Day! Kansas Equality Coalition's political action committee has made their endorsements for primary candidates for tomorrow's election. Endorsements are based on several factors, including candidate voting records, their responses to our candidate questionnaires, and public statements they have made in favor of equality. These are endorsements only for the Primary on Tuesday, August 3, and we will be issuing General Election endorsements after official results of the Primary are released. [ Posted: Monday Aug 2 2010, 11:01 am | More Details...] This is a very interesting article about/with Diego Sanchez who is the first out transgender Capital Hill staffer. Thought I would share with all. http://www.metroweekly.com/feature/?ak=5430 [ Posted: Friday Jul 16 2010, 1:06 pm | More Details...] |
