It’s disappointing that we even have to have this petition. The LGBTQ+ members of our community are essential to the success of our community (and the world) and deserve to be respected, supported, and celebrated.
Angela supported: Urge the City of McMinnville to Proclaim Pride Month & Raise the Pride FlagProclamations are meant to "recognize, celebrate, or raise awareness of significant issues" that are pertinent to our citizenry. Our City is a safe and welcoming community comprised of citizens of all backgrounds and beliefs. It is in our best interest to take action and uplift those beliefs that contribute to the that safety and sense of welcome. Proclaiming Pride Month is a small but powerful action that can kindle conversations, compassion, and connections amongst our diverse number.
Angela supported: Urge the City of McMinnville to Proclaim Pride Month & Raise the Pride FlagWhy would you do this?
Michelle supported: Urge the City of McMinnville to Proclaim Pride Month & Raise the Pride FlagIf proclamations are meant to "recognize, celebrate, or raise awareness of significant issues"- then Pride month is an incredibly timely proclamation to follow through with. The federal government's attack on trans people is a terrifying, significant issue for all queers and all forms of free expression in our country. Queer people deserve life, liberty, and happiness, and following McMinnville's amazing traditions of celebrating the LGBTQ+ community is more important now than ever. Proclaiming our support loud and proud helps make our community feel seen and cared for at a time when so much pressure is trying to force us back into silence. Please stand up for us.
Lynn supported: Urge the City of McMinnville to Proclaim Pride Month & Raise the Pride FlagAs a straight person it's deeply important for me to see my town celebrate Pride. I want to know that my community is as safe a place for the LGBT+ community as it is for myself. As someone who has both attended and been a vendor at wine country pride I feel very strongly about the welcoming feeling we have built in our town. Removing this event will do nothing but damage our community and incite division and conflict.
Harun supported: Urge the City of McMinnville to Proclaim Pride Month & Raise the Pride FlagAs an artist I lose safe, joyful spaces to promote my art and writing under KOSA! The restriction of art and writing is a very dangerous thing, on the internet or otherwise. It's a glaringly clear sign that you're approaching the edge of one steep cliff.
Josilea supported: STOP THE KOSAAs a married lesbian I am outraged! Everyone has the right to their beliefs but those beliefs have no right to determine the rights of others! Marrying a heterosexual couple then denying a homosexual couple marriage is truely disgusting and very disappointing! As a member of lgbtq+ community I want her removed !
Joy supported: Call for Judge Felicia Pitts Davis’ Resignation!I'm local, born and raised in NNY. This is disgusting. A judge that already had a negative track record being able to continue being a judge? She didn't have to marry people, she chose to and presumably got told she wasn't allowed to pick and choose who she marries, yet had the nerve to do it anyway. Apparently her "beliefs" superseded the fact that judges are supposed to be impartial? My belief is that she became a judge just to condemn people that aren't like her. There's no hate like religious love.
Isobel supported: Call for Judge Felicia Pitts Davis’ Resignation!Religion has no place in the court of law. A judge who makes decisions based off of a specific religious rhetoric that others seeking their service do not subscribe to, is a corrupt and bias judge. Plain and simple. There is no place for this backwards thinking in New York, especially in our government, and if her line of thinking continues to prosper, it can impact other judgements outside of same sex marriage ie: cases surrounding abortion rights, same sex adoption cases, etc… A public servant is supposed to serve ALL people, not just the ones they selectively choose. If Felicia cannot perform her judicial duties for ALL people under her jurisdiction, then simply put, bye Felicia.
Emily supported: Call for Judge Felicia Pitts Davis’ Resignation!Your Religion Doesn’t Forbid Love Nor Exempt You From Doing Your Job
