Pride means fight back! We’re kicking off a summer of queer pride and resistance with a rally, march, and speak out through the streets of Geneva on June 7th! The LGBTQ+ community is under attack all across this country based on falsehoods, lies, and outright bigotry. And while NY state has strong LGBTQ+ civil rights protections, the reality is that being LGBTQ+ in the Finger Lakes isn’t easy. It’s often scary, especially when local officials, parroting national talking points, use bigoted rhetoric to deny our existence. Queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people belong in our community, have always been in our community, and must be defended!
Join us on June 7th at 5:30 at FLCC in Geneva to show that LGBTQ+ hatred has no home in the Finger Lakes. Down with LGBTQ+ bigotry, up with queer liberation!
5:30: Rally at FLCC, Geneva — stand with FLCC students, faculty, and alums against bigoted rhetoric on campus 5:45: March to demonstrate our queer pride, power, and joy 6:00: Speak out at the “Public Safety Building” (255 Exchange St.) because we keep us safe 7:00: Join (as a speaker or supporter) public comment at the Geneva City Council meeting to insist that the normalization of hatred and bigoted rhetoric has no place in the Finger Lakes. Join us in calling for the censure of Councilor Pealer for his transphobic and homophobic social media rhetoric.
