PRESS RELEASE

StoneWall Society opens web site at http://www.stonewallsociety.com .

The purpose of the StoneWall Society is to support GLBT equality world-wide but especially with in the GLBT community. We have become fragmented, separated and out of touch with in our own community. The infighting between groups and ideals must stop.

We are not saying that we all must love or for that matter even like each other. However, we must offer the same equality, respect, acceptance, and dignity with in our GLBT community, that we expect and demand from the world as a whole. The prejudice in our community is quite intense. Separatism is rampant. We all have seen it and experienced it. Men and women not wanting to share the same space. Gender and transgendered prejudice, racial prejudice, age prejudice, excessive cost, and that’s just the beginning. All are common daily occurrences with in our community.

Our goal is to put an end to this hypocritical behavior. To make it clear that in order to gain the respect of the non-GLBT world we must first respect each other. The site will interact on local levels by encouraging localized chapters. Already several bars and organizations around the world are either having or considering StoneWall Society events to support our cause. The first of these will be held at Bogarts in Baton Rouge Louisiana on January 8th. These events in no way are money makers for the StoneWall Society. The point is to offer an event where the focus is community acceptance and pride. This supports our community, our supporters and GLBT businesses and organizations.

This site contains or will contain, GLBT History, Famous GLBT Persons, Articles, a member area, GLBT Literary section, Special group interest features, and much more. There is no charge for membership. Taking the StoneWall Society pledge constitutes membership. Business members may display the StoneWall Society logo to show publicly their support of our community and to further show such practices are not tolerated by their establishment.

We appreciate your support, please feel free to contact us for more information.

Thank you,

Codi Pendance, (Because we all depend on each other)
