Join TransOhio at Columbus’ Spirit Day and Candlelight Vigil

Posted on October 15, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Be a Part of Spirit Day in Columbus and Attend the Candlelight Vigil

Stonewall Columbus will hold a candlelight vigil on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Gazebo at Goodale Park, 120 W. Goodale Street, in Columbus, Ohio. This event coincides with the newly created “Spirit Day”
which recognizes the loss of lives to suicide directly related to anti-gay bullying.

Purple in the LGBT rainbow flag represents “Spirit.” Come and join us as we show the spirit of the Columbus LGBT community. We will stand together to encourage people who are being bullied and harassed because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or
transgender to speak out and get help.

A short program will be held with speakers from our community and performances by Vox from the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus and Unecc. Resource materials will be on hand for distribution and a limited number of candles and “Spirit Day” purple ribbons will
be available at the park.

“It is very difficult for those who are suffering to reach out,” said Karla Rothan, Executive Director of Stonewall Columbus. “By holding this public event, it is our hope that we will encourage people who are being bullied and harassed because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender to speak out and get help.”

Stonewall Columbus serves the Central Ohio LGBT community by providing a community center and offering programming and services that enhance the well-being and visibility of our diverse community through discovery, affirmation and celebration.

For more information, please contact Karla Rothan, Executive Director of Stonewall Columbus, at 614-930-2261 or email her krothan@stonewallcolumbus.org.

Posted on February 23, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

A FUN group for 18-21 year old GLBTQI and allies. Learn through working with horses.
Facilitated by PBJ Connections

PBJ Connections is offering group activities with horses for 18-21 year old GLBTQI youth and their allies. Learn about common challenges, frustrations and advantages unique to the GLBTQI community. Gather information on how to reach out to other generations and how to deal with challenges as you enter the workforce. Lead by GLBT corporate community leaders and a licensed social worker.  Come join us!

Thanks to the financial support of the Legacy Fund, PBJ Connections can offer the UNITE! program free of charge to local GLBTQI college-aged youth. We believe that by bringing together the diversity of the GLBTQI population we will help build unity and strength in a fun and cooperative environment. Groups will be a combination of discussion and hands-on activities with horses. No horse experience is required to participate and people of all abilities are welcome.

Groups will be held in the Pataskala area from 3-5 PM on Saturdays and are FREE of charge to our college aged participants.  Snacks will be provided.  Each group will focus on a different topic, so come to those that interest you, or come to them all!  Call 614-395-1395 or email info@pbjconnections.org for more information and directions. Pre-registration is easy and required.

Saturday, March 6
Using our Environment. Horses are masters at using their environment for their safety, to meet their needs, and for their own pleasure. Learn about supportive resources inside of you, in those around you, and in the community. Fun activities with the horses will help make learning enjoyable.

Saturday, March 20
Equine Pride: Releasing our Pride. Horses each play an important role in their herd. They are adept at self-expression and need individuality among members. Practice being proud of yourself and proud of others. Discover how to be your own person while living cooperatively with others. Horses are masters of honest and unbiased feedback and help ensure that we are communicating effectively.

Saturday, April 10
Think Like a Horse: Taking Care of Ourselves. Horses are masters at staying in the moment and taking care of themselves. Learn from them how to be more self-aware and self-accepting while in a compassionate environment. Work through activities with the horses one on one and as a group.

Saturday, April 24
The Value of the Herd: Enhancing our Support Systems. Learn from the horses the value of a support system. How do we support each other in our different stages of being out? How do we support ourselves? Through exercises with the horses you will learn how it feels to be cared for and to care for others.
