Questions? Contact Wally at 812-480-0204 or [email protected]. www.AIDSHolidayProject.org 6:30pm Movie: And the Band Played On TSA Offices, 501 John St, Evansville Famous Quotes From the Movie: Roger Gail Lyon: This is not a political issue. This is a health issue. This is not a gay issue. This is a human issue. And I do not intend to be defeated by it. I came here today in the hope that my epitaph would not read that I died of red tape. ______________________________________ Bobbi Campbell: Well, you know, if the gay community doesn't start raising hell, do you think Reagan is going to do a damn thing? The Choreographer: I wish I had your courage. Bobbi Campbell: Courage... no. I'm scared to death. I just have this self-determination to live. Don't you? Dr. Dennis Donohue: When the doctors start acting like businessmen, who do the people turn to for doctors? Blood Bank executive: Is the CDC seriously suggesting that the blood industry spends $100M a year to use the test for the wrong disease because we have a handful of transfusion fatalities and 8 dead hemophiliacs? Dr. Don Francis: How many dead hemophiliacs do you need? How many people have to die to make it cost efficient for you people to do something about it? A hundred? A thousand? Give us a number so we won't annoy you again until the amount of money you begin spending on lawsuits make it more profitable for you to save people than to kill them. ___________________________________ Congressman Phil Burton: I'll introduce a bill. But if all the angels came dancing down to earth like the Rockettes, even they couldn't get a dime out of this administration for anything with the name "gay" on it. TSA Youth Group Pool Party Sunday, June 24, 2pm—? At the home of Kelley Coures Youth Group members email [email protected] for directions LOCAL CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE UPDATE: For updates on the Vanderburgh County civil rights ordinance, monitor our web Site at www.TSAGL.org and/or ‘like’ the Tri-State Alliance on Facebook. You can help by writing a letter to the Commissioners asking them to vote YES on adding age, disability, gender identity and sexual orientation to the county’s civil rights ordinance. Write them at Vanderburgh County Commissioners, Room 305 Civic Center Complex, 1 NW Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Evansville IN 47708. The City Council passed a similar ordinance unanimously last year, and Mayor Weinzapfel approved the changes. So thanks to the City of Evansville, 85% of the county is already covered by this ordinance. But we need YOUR help to make sure the ENTIRE county is covered!

Casino Aztar Presents Sunday, July 15 6-10pm Blush Ultra Lounge 615 NW Riverside Drive, 1st Floor of Le Merigot Hotel Downtown Evansville Casino District Cover charge: $5, a benefit for TSA HIV Prevention Kits Featuring Performances by Andrew Baum, Katie Watts & Andrea Wirth Tri-State Alliance PO Box 2901, Evansville, IN 47728 www.TSAGL.org June 2012 Dear TSA members and friends, This has been an exciting year for our organization with many accomplishments, including: We served 375 low-income families impacted by HIV / AIDS through the Tri-State AIDS Holiday Project; Our 4th Annual Celebrity Dinner (led by Nancy Drake and Bobbi Warren) and TSA’s 8 th Annual Red Party (led by Holly D’Amour and Carol McClintock) were the best and the most successful in the history of our group; We successfully lobbied the Evansville City Council to unanimously approve adding gender identity and sexual orientation to the city’s human relations ordinance; We successfully lobbied the Mayor of Evansville to add gender identity and sexual orientation to the city’s nondiscrimination policy; Kelley Coures and Dr. Amie McKibban both received awards from Leadership Evansville for their civil rights work in the community; Amie also received an award for teaching and leadership from USI; City Council President Connie Robinson and City Council member Dan McGinn co-sponsored city’s human relations ordinance, and received a civil rights award from Leadership Evansville; We publicized the appearance of Queen Latifah, who publicly endorsed the local civil rights ordinances; We had significantly more people testify in favor of a county civil rights ordinance than our opposition (despite their testimony that gays should be put to death, that we give teenagers pizza to turn them gay, and that anti-gay ministers will face jail time if the ordinance passes)…the passage of the Evansville ordinance proves their claims to be false on a daily basis; We sponsored the largest prom in the Tri-State, with over 650 students in attendance; We have established an office for our volunteer meetings as well as our weekly youth group meetings. For our work to continue, we need YOUR support! Please become a dues-paying member of our organization. Memberships are $5 low-income, $25 basic membership, $50 household membership and $100 for the TSA Officers’ Club Membership. Checks can be sent TSA Membership, PO Box 2901, Evansville, IN 47728, or you can make a secure on-line donation at www.TSAGL.org. We continue to face many challenges, including the threat of protestors at our GLBT Pride Picnic on June 10 and at other events. We can only continue our work with YOUR support, so we encourage you to consider making a donation to our group. Thanks for your continued support!
