Our local Rural Valley in Wenatchee has staged a "Gay Pride' at our local Public Market with music and a rare opportunity for people of like minds regarding sexual identity could feel comfortable.
A Concept photot that was supposed to be one half of the concept "Swine Flu VS. Same-Sex Marriage". The whole thing was scrapped, and this is shot that was sadly sacrificed.
Our government is creepy, eh?

It was not so long ago that the people you call friend, family and, perhaps, even mother and father were living in two separate worlds based on the color of their skin.
My grandfather was a plantation sharecropper.
My parents attended segregated schools.
And I am married to a wonderful man...who happens to be white.
This equality is transparent to many of us now but it was not too long ago that this reality was nothing more than a dream as impossible as Don Quixote's.
Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr.
And thank you.

This event will bring together activists and comedians to discuss the ways in which comedy can push forward agendas such as #metoo and contemporary women’s rights movements, and how this effort can translate into meaningful change in women’s lives. The event will also showcase the work of UN Women and Mythos Labs in countering violent extremist recruitment narratives—and their understandings of gender—through comedy. It features a comedy set by renown comedian and actress Aparna Nancherla.
In early 2018, UN Women partnered with Mythos Labs to produce a series of comedy videos to counter the messaging of terrorist groups in the Asia region. Working with female comedians in South Asia and South-East Asia, these sketches challenge the narratives used by violent extremist groups and counter extremist ideology in the online space. While this work was originally piloted to prevent and counter violent extremism, the implications go far beyond this realm. Comedy can and is being used to promote broader themes of women’s empowerment and gender equality, by not just making us laugh, but by challenging stereotypes with a broad and engaged audience.
This project is part of UN Women’s Empowered Women, Peaceful Communities programme, which is funded by the Government of Japan. This programme works in the Asia Pacific region to challenge the gendered dynamics of violent extremism and reverse its growing trend, through prioritizing women’s rights, empowerment, participation and leadership—in national decision-making and at the community level.

The Red Onion Restaurant, Equality, IL. This whole strip building is adorned with the Mesker labels as you can see here. I don't know how old this buiding is, but surely it is somewhat old. At any rate this one has been repurposed and made to thrive here. Taken with Canon t1i, edited in Affinity Photo on iMac. Week 15 of 52.

Scenes from the Opening Session of the Generation Equality Forum, held in Paris, France on 30 June 2021.
The Generation Equality Forum (June 30 – July 2) is a major global inflection point for gender equality. This landmark effort is bringing together governments, corporations and change makers from around the world to define and announce ambitious investments and policies. The result will be a permanent acceleration in equality, leadership and opportunity for women and girls worldwide.Convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France, in partnership with youth and civil society, the Forum will also fuel a powerful and lasting coalition for gender equality. It presents a vital moment for activists, feminists, youth and allies to achieve transformative change for generations to come. It will mark the beginning of a five-year action journey led by six Action Coalitions and a Compact on Women, Peace and Security, and Humanitarian Action. This is a critical moment. COVID-19 has exacerbated existing gender inequities, with reports of rising violence against women, as well as higher adverse economic impacts caused both by increased unpaid care-giving and the fact that women work in more insecure, low-paid and informal jobs. Women of color, indigenous women and youth face compounded risks and barriers. We are living through a gender equality crisis, and the Generation Equality Forum offers a critical opportunity to confront it and accelerate implementation of the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Today, 9% of women serve in the army and gender-sensitive language is the norm in Montenegro. But the military is still traditionally men-dominated. Captain Sanja Pejović, a former professor of English language and literature, broke the brass ceiling and joined the Armed forces of Montenegro. Now, she is the highest-ranking woman officer in the armed forces. Sanja works closely with SEESAC across the region to enable women to thrive in the military.
