Combat homophobia in Walkerton, IN
Donation protected
I am raising money to donate to The GLBT Resource Center of Michiana (http://www.michianaglbtcenter.org/) in light of recent events in the state of Indiana.
A "freedom of religion" bill was passed which, unlike similar bills in other states, offers no protection to the GLBT community and thus, allows businsses to refuse service to members of the community.
Additionally,"Memories Pizza" or Walkerton, IN has stated that they would refuse to cater a same sex wedding. Within hours, supporters of "Memories Pizza" raised funds ($45,000+) in support of the owners.
Let's show the world how we can turn this storm of negativity into a storm of goodness. I am rasing the funds to donate to The GLBT Resource Center of Michiana (located in South Bend, IN-about 32 minutes from Walkerton) so that they can do community outreach in Walkerton, as well as fund any other projects that they see fit, as a way to benefit Indiana's GLBT community.
