Queer Noise 3: Save Howard Brown!
Join The Impact Chicago will be hosting its third Queer Noise open mic event at New Wave Coffee in beautiful Logan Square. It's this Friday, December 10th, at 8 PM, and the address is 2557 N Milwaukee in Chicago. Come showcase your talent-filled performance at a locally owned and super queer friendly coffee shop. Pre-sign up is available on our website at http://jointheimpactchicago.com/QueerNoiseIII.
This time we are using this event as an opportunity to raise some much needed funds for the Howard Brown Health Center, which is enduring severe financial difficulty. Howard Brown has been very transparent about their struggles, and you can get more information on why we are fundraising for them at their website: http://www.howardbrown.org/hb_news.asp?id=1534
There is no cover, but we will be passing a bucket for donations. If there's any spare cash to be shared, hundreds of people dependent on Howard Brown's services will live easier because of it.
If you’re on Facebook, you can RSVP here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=169895436378104

Spread the word on Facebook, please!

Civil Unions in Illinois
For years, activists, legislators and organizations have been fighting to pass civil union legislation in Illinois, which grants many state-level rights to same-sex couples. Civil unions will provide certain practical benefits for those who choose to enter into them, or who have been married or united in other jurisdictions.
We are happy for those who find joy in this news and congratulate those who worked hard to make this happen. We also feel the sting of second class citizenship -- civil unions are inherently unequal, an institution invented just to avoid acknowledging the equal dignity and worth of same-sex relationships by using the word “marriage” for all.
JTIC will not settle for compromises or half-measures, and will not rest until we are recognized as fully equal.
