TAGALA Toledo Area Gay and Lesbian Affiliation Funded in part by a grant from the Iohn Domrose Foundation for Personal Rights Activists' Prevent Anti-Gay TV Program from Airing in Grand Rapids, MI The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, Ety, bisexual and transgender Each ffiffiEE$$ organization, issued on February 11 a national action alert against the American Family Association's (AFA) one-hour television special called "Speechless: Silencing Christians," which is promoted to "reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation and religious freedom.tt The next day WOOD-TV (NBC) in Grand Rapids, M[, announced it would not air the controversial special from the AFA under pressure from lesbian, E&y, bisexual and transgender activists in Grand Rapids and in Washington D.C. WOOD-TV General Manager Diane Kniowski said. "Our station is being bombarded with calls and messag€s, and we find ourselves in the middle of fight." The AFA program which is still viewable online, is hosted by controversial talk show host Janet Parshall, who in 2006, suggested Matthew Shepard's lifestyle was responsible for his murder and called gay adoption "state-sanctioned child abuse." (CNN's Larry King Live, Jan. 17 ,2006) WSYX-TV (ABC) yeff, March is designated as National Women's civil rights someone else's National Women's History Month in Columbus, Ohio, has also decided to postpone airing the anti-gay infoilnercial after hearing concerns from communlty members, and will issue a decision later after the general manager has had an opportunity to review. A new airdate has not been History Month to ensure that the history of women will be recognized and celebrated in schools, workplaces, and corlmunities throughout the country. The stories of women's historic achievements present an expanded view of the complexity and fulfillment of living a purposeful life. The knowledge of women's history provides a more expansive vision of what a woman can do. This perspective can encourage girls and women to think larger and bolder and can give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience. This year's theme recognizes the pioneering and fearless ways that women have taken the lead to save the planet. Upcoming Event April 15 Night of the Goddess, Drag Show Benefit Delta Lambda Phi National Social Fraternity at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) for Eay, bisexual, and progressive men, will host their second allnual Drag Show Benefit on Wednesday, April 15th at Caesars Show Bar, 725 Jefferson Ave., downtown Toledo. Showtime starts at 8:00 p.m. Call Nicky at 419-372-3244 for more information. There will be Drag Shows, food, dancitg, door prizes, 50/50 raffle and costumes contest set. The anti-gay infomercial aired in Traverse City, Michigan (WPBN NBC); Toledo, Ohio (WUPW Fox); and Charloffo, North Carolina (WJm - The CW) on Saturday, February 7, with very little fanfare. On February 10 Equality Toledo issued an action alert urging community members to engage in dialogue with WUPW about their decision to air this anti-gay programming.
