Arlene Stein on sexual politics - Knight Law Ctr - Jan 12, 7pm
Revisiting The Stranger Next Door:
Reflections on Sexual Politics and Human Dignity in the New Millennium
featuring
Arlene Stein
Department of Sociology and graduate faculty of the
Women's and Gender Studies Program, Rutgers University
Thursday January 12, 7 PM
Knight Law Center, Room 110
1515 Agate Street, University of Oregon
Free and open to the public
In 2001, sociologist Arlene Stein, then a professor at the UO, published The Stranger Next Door: The Story of a Small Community’s Battle Over Sex, Faith, and Civil Rights, a brilliant analysis of how a small town in central Oregon – Cottage Grove -- deliberated a ballot measure in the mid-1990s to prohibit “special rights” for gay men and lesbians proposed by Christian conservatives.
Stein returns to Eugene on the 10-year anniversary of this award-winning publication to discuss the book and the contemporary terrain of sexual politics.
The talk will be followed by comments and discussion from two long-time Oregon community organizers: Kelly Wiegel, executive director of the Western States Center in Portland and Marcy Westerling, founder of the Rural Organizing Project.
Sponsored by the University of Oregon Department of Sociology, Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, and the Center for the Study of Women in Society, and the Department of Political Science with the support of the Williams Fund for Undergraduate Education.
GLBT Movie Night - In and Out - Jan 12, 7:30
After three chaste years of engagement, popular high school teacher Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline) is finally getting married, and his upcoming wedding to Miss Emily Montgomery (Joan Cusack) is the talk of their small, friendly town. But when a hometown boy-made-movie star outs Howard as gay during his Best Actor Oscar acceptance speech on national television, Howard must convince his friends, family, fiancée, and students that he's straight before his wedding day--but can he convince himself? Joan Cusack received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her role as the beleaguered fiancée in this Frank Oz-directed comedy. (www.buy.com)

GLBT Movie Night - Out of the Past - Jan 19, 7:30
Director Jeff Dupre's solid documentary on the gay community is one part history lesson (profiles of obscure gay and lesbian historical figures) and one part smart reporting (a young lesbian attempts to form a Gay-Straight Alliance club in Salt Lake City). The film, written by Michelle Ferrari, is a dialogue between the past and the present, and an emotionally textured treatise on alienation and marginalization which is intelligent and, thankfully, entertaining. (Bruce Diones - The New Yorker)

Coming Soon: The Vagina Monologues!
THE VAGINAS ARE COMING!
If you are interested in being part of the V-Day movement and the 2012 community production of The Vagina Monologues, now is the time to get involved! We need volunteer coordinators, backstage crew, poster distributers, media and PR help, makeup and costume volunteers, fundraisers, and of course, performers to bring these powerful performances alive onstage. Please join us! We seek an enthusiastic team that is diverse in age, gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, and background. Being part of this production team is a powerful, fun, and memorable experience, and a unique way to make a difference. Absolutely no prior theater experience is needed- really!
If you would like more information about how to be involved behind the scenes or think that you might like to perform onstage, we ask that you attend one of the two Interest Meetings, where we will cover all the details. (Please note that while we welcome folks of all genders to participate in organizing this event, cisgender men are invited to support The Vagina Monologues to their fullest capacity by focusing on the off-stage assistance they can provide. Performance roles are open to anyone identifying as female, trans or gender-nonconforming.)
Interest Meetings will be held:
• Sunday, January 22nd, 2:00pm-3:00pm: The Wesley Center, 1236 Kincaid Street, Eugene.

If you are unable to attend either of the interest meetings, please contact us at the email below and we can work out an alternative plan.
The 4th Annual Eugene–Springfield Community Production of The Vagina Monologues is coming April 5th and 6th! The show will again be a benefit for Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) and will be held during April to highlight Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Vagina Monologues are performed annually all over the world as part of the V-Day international movement to speak out about violence against women and girls until the violence ends. All funds raised will be donated to SASS to provide crisis support, advocacy, support groups and other help to sexual assault survivors, as well as to continue providing community education and organizing to eradicate violence in all its forms.
Please contact us at vdayeugene@gmail.com for more information. We invite you to join us in this exciting event and be part of the global movement to end violence against women and girls!
GLBT Movie Night - Love and Other Disasters - Jan 26, 7:30
American in London Emily "Jacks" Jackson (Brittany Murphy) is the very best at finding mates, just as long as they're for other people. Though she longs for romance, Jacks is her own worst enemy in the dating world; she spends most of her time with adorable but unavailable boys, including her exes. The tables are turned in this charmingly modern romantic comedy when the sexy photographer Jacks tries to set up with her gay best friend Peter (Matthew Rhys) turns out to be straight--and perfect for her.

Getting the Exam Right
Post Assault Services for LBGTIQ Survivors of Sexual Assault or Intimate Partner Violence.
Description:
In post assault medical and forensic exams it is imperative that advocates, law enforcement and all responding personnel for transgender, gender nonconforming, lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer identified victims of sexual assault or intimate partner violence be efficacious, sensitive, professional, competent and be able to create a quality of presence when providing services for this population.
Abstract:
It is imperative that the medical or Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) caring for a survivor of domestic or sexual violence from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer or questioning community understand the unique needs of these populations when providing post-assault services. Appropriate, sensitive, and effective advocacy and nursing care requires advocates, law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS) (if called) the medical examiner or the SANE and all attending personnel to be knowledgeable about specific issues of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and sexual preferences, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy risk, medical care, and safety.
Workshop Objectives:
Ø Increase participants knowledge and comfort level in working with the LBGTIQ community
Ø Cultural conversance, not just cultural competence
Ø Expand the provision of safe post assault medical services for the LBGTIQ victim of sexual violence
Topics covered in the workshop:
Ø Providing quality, sensitive and culturally relevant post assault care
Ø Advocacy & the hospital visit
Ø Collection of forensic evidence
Ø Documentation
Ø The SANE exam
Ø Terminology and demographics
Ø Safety planning, sheltering and referrals

Facilitating Safety when Sexual Violence is Maximized by the Misuse of Technology
Description:
This workshop offers a walk-through of how technology can advance tactics used by perpetrators of sexual violence. It covers relevant terminology and informs about emerging devices that are important for building a case against the misuse of technology on survivors of sexual violence and/or stalking. Most importantly, it offers advocacy tools that help providers facilitate safety for survivors they serve. Tech. safety measures specific to LGBT communities will be presented.
Abstract:
Over the years, advocates have worked on creating model safety plans to help mitigate the danger experienced by survivors of sexual violence. In these high tech times though, we must remember to incorporate safety measures that help address actions that are carried out by tech savvy perpetrators. Although technology has helped expedite safety to victims, it is also true that perpetrators have gained additional agency from it.
There are many ways in which perpetrators misuse technology. They can carry out threats and harassment through texting, nonconsensual sexting, pretexting, social network blogging, impersonation, phone spoofing and other cyberbullying experienced by LGBT survivors. With surveillance equipment, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, becoming more common and more affordable these days, it is no wonder why some survivors report details that may seem outlandish and all-around fictitious to the general public, including law enforcement and court officials.
Workshop Objective: Participants will gain a basic understanding of how various technologies are used by perpetrators and how to enhance system responses to help ensure safety.
Topics covered in the workshop:
Ø Global positioning systems (GPS) and other surveillance tools
Ø Computers
Ø Social Networking Sites
Ø Cell phones and Mobile Computing
Ø Effective documentation
Ø Safety planning and advocacy
As advocates, it is our responsibility to bump up our tech awareness in order to help survivors increase safety, credibility and accountability. The ideal starting point is to continue to learn more about how technology aids perpetrators, and how it safer tech. use can support victims. It is important to remember that technology alone is not the problem; it becomes problematic when it is used to victimize others.
2:40-2:50: Break
2:50-4:45 Session Three
Responding to Intimate Partner & Sexual Violence in the LBGTIQ Community
Description:
This session will help participants recognize particular risks and barriers encountered by LBGTIQ victims of sexual or intimate partner violence and providing referrals, information, and resources for LBGTIQ victims including victims of color, ESL, and non-English-speaking.
Workshop Objectives:
Ø Provide a context for understanding the dynamics of interpersonal violence in LBGTIQ relationships
Ø Examine beliefs and attitudes that can affect our ability to respond efficaciously to LBGTIQ victims.
Ø Enable participants to respond to LBGTIQ victims sensitively and helpfully.
Topics covered in the workshop:
Ø True Consent
Ø Dynamics of same sex relationships
Ø Privilege & Power structures
Ø Internalized oppression as a foundation for rage & battering
Ø Terms & definitions
Ø Demographics

We will be culling through local resources to best meet the questions and needs of the LGBTQ students on our campus. We do not have the capacity to list every service and there are tons of other websites that do that but please consider asking. We will NOT be making recommendations for any one person or service but just offering a location for referral. If you are interested please send the email to program@uoregon.edu with the following information:
a. Name and contact information/website etc.
b. Type of Services
c. Statement about specific relationship to lgbt students
d. If your field requires licensure please identify your participation in that program- mental health professionals, attorneys etc.
e. Any other information that would be helpful: eg- sliding scale fees, close to campus experience with students already
2) If you facilitate a local support, discussion or social group for LGBTQA folks and would like to be listed here http://lgbt.uoregon.edu/GetInvolved/SocialOpportunities.aspx please let us know. Also- check if your group is already listed and if the contact information is correct.
3) If you are affiliated with a spiritual or religious organization that has an welcoming congregation for LGBTQ people please let us know. We would really appreciate some community recommendations for this piece so we know our LGBTQ students who are looking for welcoming and supportive spaces don’t end up in places that are not being truthful about their purpose. Once we get a list of those we will put those here http://lgbt.uoregon.edu/GetSupport/CommunityResources.aspx
Please be patient as we collect all of this information and get it posted to our website. If you see any incorrect information please email us as well and we will do our best to correct that. We are looking forward to some wonderful community partnerships.

QueerFit Google group - Come Out and Do Something
It will be moderated only the extent to discourage any bashing of this event or that, any chatter about someone's dating history, or a spam bot looking to take over your email. There is no expectation about skills or any required time commitment only a desire to do something. If enough people are interested I would be willing to host a few "flash mob" fitness events etc. Anyone else wishing they were training for the 5K or just walking past the end of the block. Wish you were playing tennis more, knew where your swim goggles were. I know you are out there. So drop me an email—or look up the group on google groups under QueerFit.
Google emails are free and they seem to be pretty spam free.

Eugene Gay Men's Chorus forming
I'm open to ideas on how to do this. Prior music-reading and singing experience is preferred, but these will be taught as the chorus learns its music, so anyone can join. This would be a volunteer group with no fees or dues. As it forms, a day and time for a weekly 2-hour rehearsal will be determined by the group.
The purpose of the group is to enjoy singing and share that joy with the community through our performances. The group will also be an avenue for forming new friendships and socializing. Such "community" choruses sing at special events, give concerts and sometimes tour. Most cities have a gay men's chorus, some have more than one! CONTACT: Bob via email, at if interested.
Wild Women Coffee Club
We meet at 10:30 am every Saturday, at a variety of coffee shops in town. Please contact me at wildwomencoffeeclub@gmail.com for location info or to be put on the mailing list.

Open to queer men of all ages and to their friends and allies.
