  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

  • Las Vegas Pride Names Cleve Jones Parade Grand Marshal
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ernie Yuen Email: [email protected] Website: www.LasVegasPRIDE.org LAS VEGAS PRIDE NAMES CLEVE JONES PARADE GRAND MARSHAL August 12, 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada: Las Vegas PRIDE is proud to announce the 2012 Annual PRIDE Night Parade on September 7, 2012 will be marshaled by Cleve Jones a human rights activist and founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Quilt. "It is a great privilege and a honor to have Cleve Jones as our 2012 parade grand marshal, He is a great representative for our community and we are happy he is here to celebrate Las Vegas Pride with us." says Las Vegas PRIDE President, Ernie Yuen. Cleve’s career as an activist began in San Francisco during the turbulent 1970s when pioneer gay rights leader, Harvey Milk, befriended him. Following Milk’s election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Cleve worked as a student intern in Milk’s office while studying political science at San Francisco State University. Milk and San Francisco Mayor Geroge Moscone were assassinated on November 27, 1978. Following the horrible event, Cleve dropped out of school to work as a legislative consultant at the California Assembly. In 1982, Cleve returned to San Francisco to work in the district office of State Assemblyman Art Agnos. One of the first to recognize the threat of AIDS, Cleve co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation in 1983. Cleve Jones conceived the idea of the AIDS Memorial Quilt at a candlelight memorial for Harvey Milk in 1985. Since then, the Quilt has grown to become the world’s largest community arts project, memorializing the lives of over 80,000 people killed by AIDS.

The author argues that Minaj’s complex assemblage of public personae functions as a sort of “bait and switch” on the laws of normativity, where she appears to perform as “straight” or “queer,” while upon closer examination, she refuses to be legible as either. Rather than perpetuate notions of Minaj as yet another pop diva, the author proposes that Minaj signals the emergence of the femmecee, or a rapper whose critical, strategic performance of queer femininity is inextricably linked to the production and reception of their rhymes.
