Hey Pride,
Thanks to everyone who attended our first general body meeting last Wednesday. We discussed our upcoming events for the semester, announced our new years resolutions, and talked about possible political changes to come with a new president in office.
Here are some things to put on your calenders:
1. The regional LGBT conference (MBLTGTACC) is being held at Indiana University this year during the weekend of Valentine's Day (February 13-15th).

The registration fee is $60 which you will pay up front and then will be returned to you after you attend the conference. If you are not able to pay the $60 fee up front, let us know and we will discuss other options.
2. Our next GBM will be February 4th in Ursa's. See you there!

Send a Postcard to Obama and See Milk
Hello all,
Two quick things to tell you about.
1) In the DUC, 11-2 Monday Dec. 8th: Postcards to Obama
If you weren't able to attend Pride last GBM stop by the Duc and send a postcard to President-Elect Barack Obama asking him to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, repeal Defense of Marriage Act (D.O.M.A.) and pass a transgender inclusive Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA). Tell all your friends to stop by too!
2) Chris Riha and Pride want you to see Milk at the Tivoli Dec. 9th at 7pm. Read Chris' message here:
On December 17th, I will (unfortunately) be turning 23 years old and I only want one thing for my birthday. I want to get the largest group possible together to see Milk at the Tivoli on Tuesday, December 9th at 7:00pm. I've already seen Milk once, and it was phenomenal and completely inspiring. However, I left the theater very angry with myself because before this movie was announced, I had no idea who Harvey Milk was and what he had sacrificed for me. All I want for my birthday is for people to come see this movie with me so that I can say, on a very small level, that I was able to do something good to honor this man's memory. Please feel free to invite people that I don't even know to come along to this movie. I want to see everyone there.
Thanks and have a great winter break!

Safe Sex Tip of the Week:
For use on penises, select a condom with a reservoir tip. For use on dildos or cylindrical vibrators, you may select a condom with a plain (non-reservoir) tip if you wish.

Post-Election Hoopla
Post-Election GBM Nov. 5th 8pm Ursa's.
Election day will be a long day for a lot of us, so what better way to recoup than to hang out with Pride people, swap election day stories, eat cookies, and either celebrate or mourn together? We'll also have some speakers talk about their political involvement and how you can get involved too. Click on the title to follow a link to the facebook event.
Voting
While voting for President is important, do you know who you're voting for for Governor? State Treasurer? State Senate? Especially since a lot of LGBTQIA equality legislation happens on a state level (nondiscrimination legislation and legalization of same-sex marriage have all happened on a state level), local politics really matter for the LGBTQIA community. PROMO, Missouri's LGBT equality and political action group has a list of endorsed candidates for MO. Take a look and support progressive candidates: http://www.promopac.org/.
And if you are voting in CA, be sure to vote "no" on Prop 8 to ensure that the same-sex marriage decision by CA's supreme court is not overturned.
