THE RAINBOW DOOR: WHY IS THIS PETITION IMPORTANT?
This spring a rising trend of hate crimes toward the LGBTQ Community in NYC has led to an atmosphere of fear in our neighborhoods. Given the fact that most of the homophobic rhetoric in our country comes from faith communities (or justifies itself through the faith lens) it becomes particularly important that open and affirming communities of faith stand up and be counted. Not only do we want these communities to visibly identify themselves as "safe sanctuaries" to the LGBTQ Community, we want their voices to be heard in the wider faith dialogue in this country. PLEASE READ THE STATEMENT OF INTENT, SIGN THE PETITION & PASS ALONG TO YOUR FAITH COMMUNITY!https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDifxFsjjfSz1jZ&w=154&h=154&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.controlshiftlabs.com%2Fpetitions%2Fimages%2F6620%2Fform%2Frainbowlogo.jpg%3F1371052517http://action.groundswell-movement.org/petitions/rainbow-dooraction.groundswell-movement.org

To our staff, our board of directors, our funders, our volunteers, supporters and donors...because of YOU...and ONLY because of you...we are still here. To each of you, EACH of you...our deepest, most awe-love-filled gratitude, now & always.

Ever yours in the struggle,

The TPS Team

2013-06-12T21:30:50+0000

Are you interested in volunteering at Trinity Place Shelter?

There are 2 ways that TPS relies of the effort and dedication of our volunteers:

Overnight Monitor:
On Saturday evenings to Sunday morning (when our usual staff is off). Note: this does not require you to stay awake all night. Our next volunteer orientation training is scheduled for Saturday, June 22nd. (This is mandatory prior to becoming an Overnight Monitor).

Dinner Donor:
Each Wednesday, volunteers bring in dinner for our 10 young residents. The meal can be home cooked, store bought, or even take out. You can choose to drop off the meal, or stay for a while to chat. You're welcome to bring a friend or two for this as well.

If you are interested in either of the above opportunities, please contact me. We would love to have your help!!

This there is a wonderful event to support LGBTQIA youth at St. John. A more detailed description is below.

There's some great entertainers and speakers and it should be a genuinely good time. It's this Saturday at 7:30 pm.

Help us out with spreading the word - Like & share the FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/QF2013?fref=ts


For decades, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has hosted a "Spirit of Pride" event as part of Gay Pride NYC-wide offerings each June. This is only one way that they have used their prominence as the largest cathedral in the world to create space for important interfaith and secular conversations and creative expressions about justice, equality and peacemaking. The Cathedral for the Episcopal Diocese of New York, they have long been committed to justice for LGTB people, since the days of Stonewall and especially the beginning of the AIDS pandemic, when they became the center for the National AIDS Memorial.

We are hoping to make this an annual event supporting LGBTQ Youth citywide, demonstrating to them that we've got their backs, an event that will connect youth to Spirit in the most ecumenical way. We're looking forward to seeing an outpouring of support to assure young people not only that it gets better, but also that we are committed to MAKING IT BETTER for them.

Guest Speaker, Matthew Vines, The Lavender Light Choir, Ryan Amador & Jo Lampert, Justin Vivian Bond, Exoucia Choir from the River-Rehoboth Church in Harlem, Sean Patrick Mulroy, Corrina Bain and more. The Cathedral comfortably seats 2200 -- we are hoping to pack the joint!https://profile-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ash4/373304_477701768965983_344048812_n.jpghttp://www.facebook.com/QF2013
