In the Season of Goodwill, Strike a Blow
Against the Anti-Gay Message Machine
Support the Work of In The Life Media
Dear Friends,
It took awhile, but anti-gay pastor Rick Warren finally denounced a proposed Ugandan law that would subject gays and lesbians to life in prison – and even the death penalty, if they’re HIV positive.
Warren and his right-wing cohorts have tied themselves in knots trying to justify, explain away, or tip-toe around the relationship between Uganda’s form of condemning gays and lesbians and their own.
But you and I already know that anti-gay bigotry leads to violence, murder, suicide and despair. And I hope you know that one of the best antidotes to that kind of mendacity is media – pro-equality media that reclaims the stories of LGBT lives from the right wing’s billion-dollar media machine.
Take a Stand Against the Anti-Gay Message Machine.
Make a Year-End Contribution to In The Life Media Today.
America hasn’t gone so far as to condemn LGBT citizens to death. But more than a year after the election of Barack Obama:
Congress has yet to vote on the Employment Non- Discrimination Act
Marriage equality has been defeated in New York State, and repealed in Maine
Gays and lesbians are still being kicked out of our military
And the loudest voices about LGBT equality are from those who are against it
With your support, In The Life Media works every day to change that equation. From our award-winning program on public television, IN THE LIFE, and our wealth of incisive web-only, YouTube and downloadable online content to our growing media production projects with allied LGBT rights organizations, In The Life Media is playing a crucial role in changing the national debate and marginalizing anti-gay extremism.
We’ve got a big job to do. And we need your continued help to do it. So right now, at year’s end, when we remember the things that matter most to us, remember the transformational work of In The Life Media. Our lives and our country will be better off because of it.
Thank you, and best wishes for the New Year,
Michelle Kristel
Executive Director
