Dear Friends,
As we look to the New Year, we hope you will take a moment this holiday season to reflect on the progress that we, as a community, have made during 2009.
During the last year, the NEPA Rainbow Alliance and Rainbow Fund have achieved unprecedented positive visibility for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and allied communities in our region. From the 1,500+ attendee Pride Festival to a full spread in The Weekender to “State of Pennsylvania: Gay in NEPA” public affairs special on WVIA, our volunteers and staff have been busy.
We need your help so we can continue this important work. We know that when the majority of people see that there is a vibrant LGBT community in their backyard, it starts dialogue that leads to understanding.
Please take a moment to make a gift to help us keep the momentum going.
We hope we can count on your support so the advancement of equality will have a strong and permanent place in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Thank you and happy holidays!

Key elements and concerns within the gay community are the right to be accepted for who they are; the right to be treated fairly at school and work, in church and in public; the right to quality health care; and, the right to be respected by public servants, including those in law enforcement.
