  • Jeff Sessions: a History of Anti-Lgbtq Actions Letter from Judy Shepard
    JEFF SESSIONS: A HISTORY OF ANTI-LGBTQ ACTIONS LETTER FROM JUDY SHEPARD DEAR FRIENDS, Since his nomination to U.S. Attorney General by President-elect Trump, Senator Jeff Sessions’ record on civil rights and criminal justice has raised a serious question for the American public: is Senator Sessions fit to serve as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer? The answer is a very simple and very clear, no. In 1998 my son, Matthew, was murdered because he was gay, a brutal hate crime that continues to resonate around the world even now. Following Matt’s death, my husband, Dennis, and I worked for the next 11 years to garner support for the federal Hate Crimes Prevention Act. We were fortunate to work alongside members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, who championed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act with the determination, compassion, and vision to match ours as the parents of a child targeted for simply wanting to be himself. Senator Jeff Sessions was not one of these members. In fact, Senator Sessions strongly opposed the hate crimes bill -- characterizing hate crimes as mere “thought crimes.” Unfortunately, Senator Sessions believes that hate crimes are, what he describes as, mere “thought crimes.” My son was not killed by “thoughts” or because his murderers said hateful things. My son was brutally beaten my son with the butt of a .357 magnum pistol, tied him to a fence, and left him to die in freezing temperatures because he was gay. Senator Sessions’ repeated efforts to diminish the life-changing acts of violence covered by the Hate Crimes Prevention Act horrified me then, as a parent who knows the true cost of hate, and it terrifies me today to see 2 HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN | 1640 Rhode Island Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.

WHAT: The 18th Fresh Meat Festival featuring transgender & queer performance WHEN: Thursday-Saturday, June 20-22, 2019 WHERE: Z Space, 450 Florida Street, Between 17th Street and Mariposa, San Francisco TICKETS: http://freshmeatproductions.org/fresh-meat-festival-2019/ Sammi Lim for The Dance Enthusiast: Happy 15th anniversary to Sean Dorsey Dance! Was there a moment when you felt the company was officially on a trajectory to success? What areas did you focus on up to that point? Sean Dorsey, Artistic Director of Sean Dorsey Dance: Thank you! It’s amazing to be at this 15-year milestone and look at the scope of my journey so far. Being recognized as the nation’s first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer has been an intense mix of success and accolades along with intense discrimination and loneliness. Ultimately I feel incredibly blessed! At the heart of EVERYTHING is my love for dance and my love for the transgender & queer community. I love making dances; I love performing dances; I love teaching trans/gnc/nb/queer classes with an explicitly trans-supportive pedagogy; I love speaking out and fighting for trans equity in the dance field. I try to focus on my heart, the healing power of Dance, and to my faith in the long arc of justice.
