The Center for Equality urges you to join forces with Minnesota Senator, Al Franken, as he does his part to improve the lives of LGBT youth across America by introducing a bill that would offer LGBT youth more protection against bullying in our nation’s schools. All it takes is a very little bit of your time to make a difference. Our state, like all others, has LGBT youth to protect. Will you do your part? Watch this video or click here for more information.
Happy New Year from everyone here at the Center for Equality. 2011 was an amazing year for us all, and we look forward to supporting you, our LGBT community, in 2012!

Hello, everyone! Just a quick update to let you all know we are still steadily building a collection of art for the exhibit so keep them coming!
Are you an LGBT or ally artist or do know someone who is? Contact Tiffany at tiffany@centersforequalitysd.org.
The show will be part of our spring 2012 fundraising efforts and will include a silent auction and wine tasting. It’s a great opportunity to support a great cause AND promote your work.
Works of art will be displayed for sale prior to, during and, if there’s any art left, after the show.
The Center for Equality will host a fundraiser at the east side Hu Hot on Wednesday, January 11 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Our trusty volunteers will be on hand to clear your tables, and a portion of all sales during those hours will be donated to benefit LGBTQ programming at the Center.
Come fill your bellies for a cause! Raffle tickets to win fabulous prizes will also be sold.
If you own a business and would like to donate items towards the raffle please contact Tiffany at tiffany@centersforequalitysd.org.
Want to volunteer for this event? Contact Tiffany at tiffany@centersforequalitysd.org.
Do you have an extra 5-10 minutes per week you could dedicate to finding and posting LGBT news? We’re looking for a few good people to help us keep our Facebook and Twitter friends up to date on current events in the LGBT world.
Interested? Please contact Tiffany at tiffany@centersforequalitysd.org if you’d like to help!
Due to business that will take this “army of one” out of the office we will be closed at 3 pm today. Thank you for you understanding.
Please check our site often for these types of updates or call 331-1153.

Oh the woes of needing to be in two places at once!
Since I’ve thus far been unable to clone myself, today we will be closed at 3:00 p.m. to accommodate Center business that will take me outside our walls.
I apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to contact me via email if I can be of assistance, tiffany@centersforequalitysd.org.
Thank you and happy Wednesday!
