    Sexual and Gender Minority Health Research Listening Session Virtual Meeting November 19, 2020, 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m. EST [MEETING START TIME: 1:00 P.M. EST] DR. KAREN PARKER: Welcome to the second annual NIH SGM Health Research Listening Session. I’m so happy to be here. My name is Karen Parker, and my pronouns are she and her. I currently serve as director of the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office at NIH. The primary goal of today’s listening session is for NIH leaders and staff to hear from community stakeholders about what issues are on their mind regarding SGM-related research and related activities at the National Institutes of Health. Selection of these organizations invited today is based on the diversity of organizational missions and efforts. This year, we will have 11 organizations presenting to us. Before we began listening to comments from these stakeholders, we will hear remarks from several senior NIH leaders. We also have several colleagues in attendance from across the different Institutes, Centers, and Offices at the agency, and we are all excited to hear from them. I will be serving as moderator for today’s session, and we will be prompting speakers, both NIH leaders and invited organizational representatives, to turn your audio and video on when it is your time to provide remarks. Please be sure to mute your audio and video feed when you are not speaking. To members of the public who are joining in today to listen, welcome. This session is being recorded, and both a captioned video and transcription document will be posted to the SGMRO website in the coming weeks.

  • Brenda Howard Memorial Award 13 (Thursday) 7-9Pm, Young Bisexual Social and Support Group (Young Bliss)
    Spring 2017 Bi+ Creativity Bi Women Quarterly Vol. 35 No. 2 A publication of the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network, for women everywhere Bilicious and Beyond: an international adventure of creative growth & reinvention By Susannah Layton My creativity is an essential part of my identity; it’s also a powerful tool to help me explore, express and understand who I am and how I fit into the world around me. As a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and director, I present personal stories through a variety of media including video, collage, and performance. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with queer arts and culture. I am grateful to have experienced this through living in a few of the world’s most queer-friendly cities, including London, Sydney, San Francisco, and cur- rently Boston. In my teenage years during the ’80s, I loved watching British TV programs such as the Kenny Everett Video Show, fabulously campy sketch comedy; and Dame Edna Experience, a talk show hosted by the outrageous drag persona of satirist Barry Humphries. In the ’90s I became more interested in music and found a new creative outlet, going out dancing in London’s nightclubs. When I moved to Sydney in the mid-’90s, I discovered dance music on a bigger scale. One of my most memorable experiences was attending Sydney’s Mardi Gras parade (their version of Pride)—an incredible evening shared with thousands of LGBTQI people from around the globe. That night I felt for the first time a sense of queer community and wanted to be a part of it, but I wasn’t yet out as bisexual.

  • Fairfield County Pride Guide 2014 Dear Friends
    Fairfield County Pride Guide 2014 Dear Friends, Pride is a chance for us to reflect on our community. For the last six months I have had the honor of serving as TCC’s first Executive Direc- tor and I have been fortunate enough to talk with hundreds of you. From those conversations two truths about the LGBTQ community in Fairfield County have been made clear: 1. Our community is strong, passionate and vibrant. We are a com- munity full of intelligent, caring, and proud individuals who want to see the LGBTQ community play a bigger role in Fairfield County. 2. We need to be more visible. We need to be clear about who we are and what we stand for and that needs to be made visible to everyone in Fairfield County. There are thousands in our county who are not yet connected to our mission and there are thousands more who need our services who do not yet know they exist. Pride is about more than celebrating our community; it is a chance to cre- ate that visibility. It is a chance to ignite a beacon of light that everyone in this county and beyond will see. The days of our community living in the shadows are over. It is now time to make it clear that Fairfield County has a large LGBTQ community that is growing stronger everyday. I hope you will join us in celebrating Pride this June at one of the great events listed in this guide. We need your help to create that visibility and to enter into a new era for our community.

  • Lgbtqtheme-Bisexual.Pdf
    Published online 2016 www.nps.gov/subjects/tellingallamericansstories/lgbtqthemestudy.htm LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer History is a publication of the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service. We are very grateful for the generous support of the Gill Foundation, which has made this publication possible. The views and conclusions contained in the essays are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government.

No part of this publication may be reprinted or reproduced without permission from the publishers. Links (URLs) to websites referenced in this document were accurate at the time of publication. INCLUSIVE STORIES Although scholars of LGBTQ history have generally been inclusive of women, the working classes, and gender-nonconforming people, the narrative that is found in mainstream media and that many people think of when they think of LGBTQ history is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, male, and has been focused on urban communities. While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities.

  • Press Release – 6.24.21 Winooski Raises the Pride Flag
    Press Release – 6.24.21 Winooski Raises the Pride Flag Press Contacts Paul Sarne, Communications Coordinator – [email protected] Yasamin Gordon, Equity Director – [email protected] The City of Winooski invites everyone to join us on Monday, June 28th, 2021 at 12:30 PM in Rotary Park for a ceremonial raising of the Pride flag to officially acknowledge our ongoing commitment to support and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. In Greenwich Village, New York, on June 28, 1969, The NYPD raided a gay club called the Stonewall Inn. Bar patrons, staff, and neighbors took to the streets outside. A black, trans, bisexual woman named Marsha P. Johnson led the protest movement and it continued for six days. LGBTQIA+ community members demanded the establishment of places where they could be free and safe to be their authentic selves without fear of arrest. One year after the Stonewall riots, ‘The Mother of Pride,’ activist Brenda Howard organized Gay Pride Week and the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade. This developed into what we now know as the New York City Pride March and was the inspiration for the formation of similar parades and marches across the world. “This event is important to Winooski, as it recognizes the hardships that LGBTQIA+ community members experience as well their achievements and contributions to the world. Raising the Pride flag is a symbol of support and awareness for the resiliency of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and we are proud to join them in the fight for justice, equity, and visibility. We must continue our commitment to equity and progress while ensuring a safe, supportive, and inclusive Winooski.

  • Mental Health Minute Sponsored by the Department of Student Mental Health and Wellness
    MENTAL HEALTH MINUTE SPONSORED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRIDE MONTH 6.1.21 - 6.30.21 June is Pride Month! Pride Month pays tribute to those involved in the Stonewall Riots in New York City in 1969 which led the way for gay rights. Brenda Howard, a bisexual activist, is known as “The Mother of Pride.” She organized Gay Pride Week and the Christopher Street Liberation Day parade a year following the Stonewall Riots. This is now known as the New York City Pride Parade which is referred to as the catalyst for other similar parades, rallies, workshops and concerts around the world. While progress has been made since Stonewall, many LGBTQ+ individuals still lack adequate protection of their rights. The mental health challenges facing the community cannot be denied or ignored. Many face prejudice, discrimination, violence, harassment, and bullying, and are disproportionally at risk of depression, self harm and suicide. We recognize the bravery and resilience of those affected by the horrible violence against the transgender community recently and we respect, honor and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community’s history, achievements, diversity and pride. Pride Month is for all to embrace and celebrate who they are. We encourage everyone to continue to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, not just on Pride Day (June 28th) or Pride Month, but every day of the year.

  • JUNE IS LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH and PTSD AWARENESS MONTH
    A publicatio n of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health June 2018 JUNE IS LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH and PTSD AWARENESS MONTH Did You Know? PRIDE can be traced to June 28, 1970. On this date there was a planned march in New York City to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall uprises to stand against discrimination, and celebrate LGBT identities. While, Brenda Howard is known as the “Mother of Pride” for coordinating the march and other activities, there would be no PRIDE without the unrest at Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969. Some notable participants were: Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt , Marsha P. Johnson , Sylvia Rivera , and Stormé DeLarverie . In June 2017, the PRIDE flag was redesigned to recognize LGBTQ people of color (POC). The new flag incorporate a black and brown stripe above the rainbow acknowledging that the experiences of POC can often be overlooked within the overall LGBTQ umbrella. LGBTQ+ and Mental Health According to NAMI , LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition such as major depression or generalized anxiety disorder. This fear of coming out and being discriminated against for sexual orientation and gender identities, can lead to depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, thoughts of suicide and substance abuse. Evidence has shown that: Even moderately accepting families have been shown to have a positive effect on lesbian, gay, and bi-sexual kids. [Family Acceptance Project] LGBTQ youth of color who have pride in their racial identity and LGBTQ identity are less likely to experience depression and anxiety. [Our Health Matters] Why is this important? Because DMH is committed to providing person-centered, trauma-informed, and recovery-focused services and serving the entire person, including intersecting identities.
