LGBT Affirming Activities<br />
The <strong>VCS</strong> Community Change Project celebrated the 10th<br />
year of Gay Pride Rockland at the annual event in June.<br />
Leading up to this community event, many outreach efforts<br />
were held to support the inclusion of LGBTQ individuals<br />
and families into the larger life of the community. Several of these invents<br />
included a juried art exhibit and art walk in Nyack; musical and performance<br />
concerts, film showings, an annual dance for gay pride and an honorary dinner.<br />
Some of these events were billed as fundraisers but all focused on the overarching<br />
theme of equality for all, with no exceptions.<br />
The 2008-2009 Directory of LGBT Friendly Businesses, Services and<br />
Community Organizations, a major resource for the LBGTQ community was<br />
the biggest yet, thanks to our many sponsors and advertisers. The directory is<br />
published on the website www.gaypriderockland.org. a carefully maintained<br />
vehicle that also provides on-going announcements and information throughout<br />
the year.
