    Phoenix Equality March for LGBT Rights to Reflect Current Political Worries

    Phoenix equality march for LGBT rights to reflect current political worries BrieAnna J Frank , The Republic | azcentral.com 10:55 a.m. MT June 10, 2017 An equality march scheduled for Sunday in downtown Phoenix will have a more political tone than in years past because of the current political climate, which march organizers say worries the LGBT community. Phoenix Pride is hosting the march and rally as a sister event to the larger Equality March for Unity and Pride being held in Washington, D.C., organizers said. "The theme is unity, and the overarching message is we are our strongest when we stand together as a (Photo: Diego Nacho: Graphic community," said Phoenix Pride spokesman Jeremy Helfgot. "That means community as a whole, whether it's Design + Photography) LGBT or straight allies, regardless of religion or place of origin or legal status, and that's true regardless of the political climate." But some say Sunday's gathering will be notably different from previous years' LGBT rallies and marches because of President Donald Trump. "As much as this is about solidarity and unity and intersectionality, it's also about resistance and standing up to fight for what we must do, and that is to fight for our lives," said Ray Bradford, chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party's LGBT caucus. Helfgot said as a 501(c)(3) organization, Phoenix Pride does not make political statements at its events but that speakers have the ability to weave politics into their speeches if they want to. In some cases, though, Phoenix Pride does get involved.

TUCSON PRIDE: TAKING THE 2020 ANNUAL PRIDE FESTIVAL VIRTUAL After careful consideration and with great respect for our community, the Tucson Pride Board of Directors has voted to not hold an in-person Annual Tucson Pride Parade and Festival this year. In its place, Tucson Pride is taking the annual celebration virtual in October in honor of National Coming Out Month. This decision was not made lightly; the board has carefully monitored Covid-19 guidelines and recommendations from authorities on local, state, and national levels, as well as explored all available alternatives. A virtual festival was determined to not only be the safest approach for 2020 but was also an avenue that allowed us to incorporate educational programming in brief segments throughout the event. With the support of Virtual Arizona Pride and our community, we are looking forward to bringing a quality virtual event this October we hope you will find engaging and entertaining.

    AUTHENTICITY, CITIZENSHIP AND ACCOMMODATION: LGBT RIGHTS IN A RED STATE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSPHY by Kendall L. Roark May 2012 Dissertation Examining Committee: Jayasinhji Jhala, Associate Professor, Anthropology Patricia Melzer, Assistant Professor, French, German, Italian, and Slavic Languages Rickie Sanders, Professor, Geography and Urban Studies Sydney White, Associate Professor, Anthropology ABSTRACT “Authenticity, Citizenship and Accommodation: LGBT Rights in a Red State” examines the discourse around volunteerism, exceptionalism, and queer citizenship that emerged within the context of a statewide (anti-gay) ballot initiative campaign in the American Southwest. I argue that the ways in which local volunteers and activists define themselves and their attempts to defeat the ballot initiative are tied to the struggle over the authority to represent local LGBT organizational culture and an emergent New West identity. In such a way, local debates over authentic western lifestyles that divide regional communities intertwine with intergenerational debates over gay liberation and rights frameworks, and the polarized discourse on blue and red states that have dominated the U.S. political climate of the past decade. While statewide campaign leaders with a base in Phoenix (the state capital) focused on polling data and messaging in order to stop the passage of the amendment, many Tucson activists and organizational leaders tied to the LGBT community center sought to strategize a long-term grassroots approach to change hearts and minds. Within this debate over campaign strategy and internal decision- making, both groups drew attention to the differences between the metropolitan areas.
