National Coming Out Day (Oct 11)

By Neil Macernie on October 10, 2011

Join NM GetEQUAL, elected officials, National & Local Advocates, and others for National Coming Out Day 2011!

When: Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 @ 7:30PM
Where: Morningside Park (map)

We continue to see a rise in bullying in our public school system, youth being terrorized for coming out of “the closet” and more awareness being brought to teen suicides. As a community we can not forget this historic day “National Coming Out Day.” We are seeing many strides, we are coming together, yet so much more needs to be done.

Even here in Albuquerque and all of New Mexico people are afraid to be who they are. Let’s once again come together and show the state, that New Mexico has not and will not forget this amazing community!

Pastor Judy Marries Lesbian Couple at County Clerk’s Office

By Neil Macernie on February 14, 2011

In our ongoing effort to support Marriage Equality throughout the United States and around the world Metropolitan Community Churches asks us to become a voice for Marriage Equality, organize Marriage Equality events, meet our elected officials, and donate our time and money to this ministry of justice.  Today, Reverend Judith Maynard and some members of MCC of Albuquerque joined GetEQUAL at Civic Plaza in downtown Albuquerque for a Marriage Equality rally.  Earlier that day Reverend Maynard accompanied two lesbian couples to the Bernalillo County Clerk’s Office for marriage licenses.  Though both couples were denied marriage licenses, Reverend Maynard was allowed to perform a marriage ceremony in the waiting area.

Our founder The Reverend Elder Troy Perry established Metropolitan Community Churches as a vital part of the effort for Marriage Equality in the United States and around the world.  We are still committed to that effort today.  You can make a difference with your peaceful activism and your commitment to being a voice for Marriage Equality in our denomination, in your community and around the world.

National Coming Out Day

By Neil Macernie on October 8, 2010

Monday, October 11th at 7:00 PM
Candlelight Vigil at Morningside Park (map)
Add Yourself to the Facebook Event (click here)

Rev. Judith Maynard will join Albuquerque Pride as one of the key speakers for this event.  National Coming Out Day is an internationally-observed civil awareness day for coming out and discussing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersexed and questioning (LGBTIQ) issues. Come join our LGBTIQ communities and our allies at Morningside Park in Albuquerque on Monday, October 11th at 7:00 PM for a candlelight vigil.

In light of the recent suicides and bullying of our LGBTIQ youth, it is important for us to encourage all people, of all sexual orientations, to “take your next step” in living openly and powerfully on this October 11th.

We encourage you, on this day, to wear clothing and jewelry that utilizes gay pride symbols and colors. Our goal is to raise awareness of the LGBTIQ community among the general populace in an effort to give a familiar face to our LGBTIQ rights movement.
