Incident Report My name is Vicki Blankenship and I am the volunteer president of Indiegrrl Women in the Arts, Inc a non profit that works to create networking, educational, and showcasing opportunities for women in the arts. Indiegrrl does not discriminate against religion, race, sexuality, age, political views or anything else and accepts all women involved in the arts to participate in our programs and events. We work to build community type events to bring awareness to women in the arts and to raise monies for various charities and are presently working to raise funds to build a facility that will hold children?s music and art camps and songwriting/music retreats and workshops for adults. The prospective location for this facility is Mineral Bluff, GA which borders NC and is very close to TN. Indiegrrl has produced many festivals in the southeast that were community events as well as showcases in venues all around the United States showcasing various female music acts, comedians, spoken word artists, and local artisans selling their arts and crafts. We have also produced 2 national music conferences, one in Spencer, VA in August 2008 and one in Nashville, TN in August 2009. We have future goals to produce many more events. All of these events have been welcomed with open arms in the communities in which they were held, accept for the very last event we produced this month on October 2, 3, 4 in Tattnall County, GA. This event was the first festival event that we produced as a weekend event for women only ages 18 and up and was called the Georgia Women?s Festival. This event had the soul purpose to create a safe environment for a weekend of celebration in sisterhood through music and art, no matter what your religion, political view, ethnic race, or sexual views were. It was also a fund raiser to help bring in funds to go toward the construction of bunk houses for the facility we plan to build in Mineral Bluff, GA. Roy?s Hideaway Campground located in Tattnall County Georgia between Reidsville and Collins Georgia was the hosting site for this festival and is a gay and lesbian 21 year old and up membership campground. On two occasions prior to the festival taking place on October 2 to 4, campground owner Roy McLeroy tried going through the proper channels on finding out if we needed an event permit and if so to obtain the permit for the event to take place on his campground. He was told by the on duty deputies of Tattnall County Sheriff?s department that he did not need to obtain a permit since it was private property and also a membership campground and that Indiegrrl the producer of the event was a non profit organization. The second time he tried to obtain the permit was Thursday morning October 1, 2009 and he was told the exact same thing. The GA Women?s Festival music was scheduled to begin on October 2 at 2:00pm and was advertised on both the campground website as well as the Indiegrrl website and event flyers. Our first two Friday music acts canceled the day before the event due to illness so the music was rescheduled to start at 4:00pm but we did not change the schedules on our websites. At 3:00pm two local deputies arrived on site telling owner Roy McLeroy and our event sound engineer Steve Wolfe that neighbors of the campground had phoned in a complaint that the music was too loud and we would have to turn it down. Roy and Steve informed the deputies that the music had not even started and was not starting until 4:00pm. The deputies verified that no music was being played on the stage and that the stage was not even fully set up yet and the deputies left the premises. At 10:30pm that same night four cars full of deputies returned to the campground and told us we would have to stop the music. We were told in front of many witnesses whose names and contact info we have, that we could go get a permit at 10:00am, Saturday morning, at the Tattnall Sheriff Department from Captain Bradley and we could resume our event on Saturday after getting the permit. With the permit we would be allowed to play music until midnight. The deputies stated they had lots of complaints about the noise and a permit would allow us to over ride the complaints. After the deputies left the premises, people lined up outside the fenced perimeter of the campground and began yelling obscenities at the festival attendees and chanted ?F___ing Queers go home?. One neighboring piece of property had cars line up in a field that separated the properties between them and the campground and shined their car headlights down into the campground, blared loud music from their car speakers, and proceeded to fire guns down into the pond areas in the campground. 911 calls were made to the Tattnall County Sheriff Department to come put a stop to this but nothing got stopped. I personally never saw a police vehicle respond to the area with the cars shining their headlights down on us and my cabin was 30 feet from the pond they were shooting into. This went on until 4:00am when they finally stopped. On Saturday morning campground owner Roy McLeroy, his mother Dorothy, Steve Wolfe our sound engineer and I went to the Tattnall County Sheriff Department and asked for Captain Bradley to obtain our permit. We were told it was his day off so we asked if they would phone him to come in and explained out situation. When Captain Bradley arrived he walked past us and sat behind the window opening at the entrance. I extended my hand for him to shake as I introduced myself and he refused to shake my hand all the while as he kept his arms crossed and seemed to be very irritated. I gave him our non profit brochure and our non profit federal number and asked if we could get the permit the deputies the night before had told us to get from him so we could resume our event today. He pushed the papers aside and told me he told them to shut us down and no he would not give us a permit. I explained that the deputies had told me in front of many witnesses that Captain Bradley would give us a permit so we could resume our fund raising festival on Saturday. I asked him on what grounds was he refusing us a permit. He said he would not give us a permit and again I questioned him as to why not. He stated ?I just am not going to do it.? I asked to see a magistrate judge and Captain Bradley told me there was not one on duty and told me ?leave the premises right now.? I then stated that I wanted to see a magistrate judge to know my rights on their laws and ordinances on event permits, noise restrictions, and event guidelines. At that point Captain Bradley demanded that I leave the premises and advised campground owner Roy McLeroy to make me leave the premises. I then stated that I have a right to stand on public property and that I was not breaking any laws and that I had the right to see in writing the laws and ordinances governing events and noise restrictions in their county. Captain Bradley, who was out of uniform and refused to give me his first name when I asked him, walked off again yelling ?Roy take her out of here before I lock her up.? I told Captain Bradley he had no grounds to lock me up that no laws were being broken and that I would leave but I would find the proper authorities to find out the Tattnall County ordinances and laws. I also questioned him why the harassment from the people outside the campground toward the festival attendees was not stopped during the night along with the gun fire after numerous 911 calls were made. He said ?We took care of that? and I stated ?Well obviously not because it went on for 5 hours until 4:00am?. He again yelled ?Roy get her out of here?. I then went to the parking lot and began making phone calls along with Steve Wolfe to try to find out the county ordinances. Inside the precinct Captain Bradley told Roy McLeroy and Dorothy ?Ms Blankenship better watch her back while driving out of this county or she might find herself locked up in my jail.? This was a verbal threat on my safety and well being. We returned to the campground and gathered everyone and I made an announcement to the festival attendees that we were not granted the permit that the officers on Friday night told us we could get and that the stage could not resume with music. We then started phoning various county offices including the Sheriff?s department to find out what the county noise ordinance was and we were told several different answers including 9:00pm, 10:00pm, 2:00pm, and All Day. 30 minutes after returning to the campground the magistrate judge drove up. I then questioned him on the ordinances and questioned Captain Bradley?s behavior. His direct comment to me was ?Well you know how small towns are and Captain Bradley is a good old boy and a pretty good officer.? I then stated ?I only know about the small towns that go by their ordinances and laws that are on the books and that do not make up laws as they go along, and where police officers did not threaten people who were just asking to know their rights and to see those laws and ordinances in writing.? The magistrate apologized for Captain Bradley?s behavior and stated he did not think we had to have a permit because the campground was private property in the county and a membership campground. He then walked away and phoned Sheriff Quinton Rush and came back and told me we could not go on with our event and that he would not issue us a permit. At 8:00pm that night people once again lined up outside the campground fence line and resumed yelling obscenities at us and were chanting the same ?F___ing Queers go home?. Once again the loud music, headlights from the cars, and the shooting of firearms into the ponds and into the air resumed until 5:00am on Sunday morning. Again 911 phone calls were made and nothing got stopped. The women in the campground were literally crying in their tents and cabins afraid for their lives and the Tattnall County Sheriff Department did not respond to or stop the harassment. Indiegrrl had no prior knowledge that the neighboring community had harsh feelings towards Roy?s Hideaway Campground and had acted out against them in the past. We would not have organized an event at this facility if prior knowledge had existed. We in no way would put festival attendees in any danger by holding an event in a possible hostile environment. We will not hold any more events at this facility in the future nor in the county of Tattnall. We do want to make the public aware of the unjust treatment that existed for this event and the harassment that did take place. Events that we produce bring monies to the local area including hotel rentals, restaurant revenues, gas and grocery revenues and more. Our goal at Indiegrrl is to create fun community events that benefit the attendees, the community, and the artists participating. Indiegrrl is still exploring our options on legal proceedings with this situation. It is unacceptable for this type of blatant harassment and prejudicial treatment to go on and the lives of US citizens to be put in jeopardy. There was a severe and open violation of civil rights on offering equal protection by the law in Tattnall County. This violation of safety was not a gay thing or a straight thing it was a human thing and a violation of human safety and human rights occurred.

The Georgia Women's Festival, held last weekend in Tattnall County in southeast Georgia, faced harassment from local police and protesters, according to a press release from the festival. However, the owner of the campground where the festival was held and a woman who attended the event are contesting the allegations. ?? ?? Vicki Blankenships allegations of police, residential harassment at all-women's festival contested by campground's owner. The festival was held Oct. 2-4 at Roy?s Hideaway Campground, a private gay and lesbian campground in Collins, Ga. Organizers claim the Tattnall County Sheriff's Department denied them permits for the event and failed to respond when neighbors lined the road near the campground, shooting guns and shouting slurs including "queers go home. Tattnall County Sheriff Quinton Rush declined comment when contacted by Southern Voice this morning. Vicki Blankenship, a lesbian who has organized music festivals as volunteer president of Indiegrrl Women in the Arts Inc., said the problems with last weekend's festival began Friday with complaints that music was being played too loud ? even though the music had not even started. Blankenship said the festival was denied a permit. "The deputies stated they had lots of complaints=2 0about the noise and a permit would allow us to override the complaints," she said. ?After the deputies left the premises, people lined up outside the fenced perimeter of the campground and began yelling obscenities at the festival attendees and chanted ?Fucking queers go home.? One neighboring piece of property had cars line up in a field that separated the properties between them and the campground and shined their car headlights down into the campground, blared loud music from their car speakers, and proceeded to fire guns down into the pond areas in the campground,? Blankenship said. Roy McLeroy, owner of the campground, denied all of the allegations Blankenship made, saying he is treated with respect and kindness by his neighbors as well as the sheriff?s department. He did say the fest was not able to get a permit and the police did ask for the music to be turned down. ?But then Vicki Blankenship made it into a political thing,? McLeroy said today. ?They never got shut down, there were maybe three shots fired Friday night but the neighbors were shooting at beavers. There were no protesters,? he added. ?Some of my neighbors came because they wanted to listen to the music but I had to tell them that it was a women?s only event. But still three people bought t-shirts. What [Blankenship] said never happened.? There were never the serious problems Blankenship alleges, he added, and20said he thought she was trying to create publicity for herself. ?She?s causing all kinds of damage,? he said. ?I have total support in my community and have never had any problems. This is hurting us.? Carolyn Bowden, president of First City Network in Savannah, Ga., the oldest LGBT group in the state, said she was there and saw nothing of what Blankenship is claiming in her press release. ?I really am flabbergasted,? she said today. ?I was there so when I read this [on sovo.com], my jaw hit the floor,? she said. ?The only thing that happened is she was denied a permit. None of this other stuff happened.? Bowden said her trailer was just 50 yards away from the cabin where Blankenship stayed and she slept with the windows open and did not hear any gunshots over the weekend. Blankenship stated the harassment against festival attendees continued on Saturday, including people lining up around the campground and again shouting, ?Fucking queers go home.? ?There was not a soul on the road yelling epithets.? That never happened. And this kind of thing damages our community,? Bowden added. ?I?m shocked this is what she has put out that this is what came out of that weekend. Everyone was having a good time." Blankenship said no future festivals would be held in Tattnall County. "It is un acceptable for this type of blatant harassment and prejudicial treatment to go on and the lives of U.S. citizens to be put in jeopardy," she said. "There was a severe and open violation of civil rights on offering equal protection by the law in Tattnall County. This violation of safety was not a gay thing or a straight thing, it was a human thing and a violation of human safety and human rights occurred," she added. Tattnall County is about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta. -----Original Message----- From: Sue Jeffers To: outvoice at outvoice.net Sent: Wed, Oct 7, 2009 4:55 pm Subject: [OutVoice] [Fwd: Press Release: GA Women's Festival Shut Down-Incident Report] ? -------- Original Message --------?

Official Indiegrrl Women in the Arts Press Release:? ? ? Georgia Women?s Festival Shut Down ? Incident Report? ? ? My name is Vicki Blankenship and I am the volunteer president of Indiegrrl Women in the Arts, Inc a non profit that works to create networking, educational, and showcasing opportunities for women in the arts. Indiegrrl does not discriminate against religion, race, sexuality, age, political views or anything else and accepts all women involved in the arts to participate in our programs and events.20We work to build community type events to bring awareness to women in the arts and to raise monies for various charities and are presently working to raise funds to build a facility that will hold children?s music and art camps and songwriting/music retreats and workshops for adults. The prospective location for this facility is Mineral Bluff, GA which borders NC and is very close to TN.? ? ? Indiegrrl has produced many festivals in the southeast that were community events as well as showcases in venues all around the United States showcasing various female music acts, comedians, spoken word artists, and local artisans selling their arts and crafts. We have also produced 2 national music conferences, one in Spencer, VA in August 2008 and one in Nashville, TN in August 2009. We have future goals to produce many more events. All of these events have been welcomed with open arms in the communities in which they were held, accept for the very last event we produced this month on October 2, 3, 4 in Tattnall County, GA. This event was the first festival event that we produced as a weekend event for women only ages 18 and up and was called the Georgia Women?s Festival. This event had the soul purpose to create a safe environment for a weekend of celebration in sisterhood through music and art, no matter what your religion, political view, ethnic race, or sexual views were. It was also a fund raiser to help bring in funds to go toward the construction of bunk houses for the=2 0facility we plan to build in Mineral Bluff, GA. Roy?s Hideaway Campground located in Tattnall County Georgia between Reidsville and Collins Georgia was the hosting site for this festival and is a gay and lesbian 21 year old and up membership campground.? ? ? On two occasions prior to the festival taking place on October 2 to 4, campground owner Roy McLeroy tried going through the proper channels on finding out if we needed an event permit and if so to obtain the permit for the event to take place on his campground. He was told by the on duty deputies of Tattnall County Sheriff?s department that he did not need to obtain a permit since it was private property and also a membership campground and that Indiegrrl the producer of the event was a non profit organization. The second time he tried to obtain the permit was Thursday morning October 1, 2009 and he was told the exact same thing.? ? ? The GA Women?s Festival music was scheduled to begin on October 2 at 2:00pm and was advertised on both the campground website as well as the Indiegrrl website and event flyers. Our first two Friday music acts canceled the day before the event due to illness so the music was rescheduled to start at 4:00pm but we did not change the schedules on our websites. At 3:00pm two local deputies arrived on site telling owner Roy McLeroy and our event sound engineer Steve Wolfe that neighbors of the campground had phoned in a complaint that the music was too loud and we would have to turn it down. Roy and Steve informed the deputies that the music had not even started and was not starting until 4:00pm. The deputies verified that no music was being played on the stage and that the stage was not even fully set up yet and the deputies left the premises. At 10:30pm that same night four cars full of deputies returned to the campground and told us we would have to stop the music. We were told in front of many witnesses whose names and contact info we have, that we could go get a permit at 10:00am, Saturday morning, at the Tattnall Sheriff Department from Captain Bradley and we could resume our event on Saturday after getting the permit. With the permit we would be allowed to play music until midnight. The deputies stated they had lots of complaints about the noise and a permit would allow us to over ride the complaints. After the deputies left the premises, people lined up outside the fenced perimeter of the campground and began yelling obscenities at the festival attendees and chanted ?F___ing Queers go home?. One neighboring piece of property had cars line up in a field that separated the properties between them and the campground and shined their car headlights down into the campground, blared loud music from their car speakers, and proceeded to fire guns down into the pond areas in the campground. 911 calls were made to the Tattnall County Sheriff Department to come put a stop to this but nothing got stopped. I personally never saw a police20vehicle respond to the area with the cars shining their headlights down on us and my cabin was 30 feet from the pond they were shooting into. This went on until 4:00am when they finally stopped.? ? ? On Saturday morning campground owner Roy McLeroy, his mother Dorothy, Steve Wolfe our sound engineer and I went to the Tattnall County Sheriff Department and asked for Captain Bradley to obtain our permit. We were told it was his day off so we asked if they would phone him to come in and explained out situation. When Captain Bradley arrived he walked past us and sat behind the window opening at the entrance. I extended my hand for him to shake as I introduced myself and he refused to shake my hand all the while as he kept his arms crossed and seemed to be very irritated. I gave him our non profit brochure and our non profit federal number and asked if we could get the permit the deputies the night before had told us to get from him so we could resume our event today. He pushed the papers aside and told me he told them to shut us down and no he would not give us a permit. I explained that the deputies had told me in front of many witnesses that Captain Bradley would give us a permit so we could resume our fund raising festival on Saturday. I asked him on what grounds was he refusing us a permit. He said he would not give us a permit and again I questioned him as to why not. He stated ?I just am not going to do it.? I asked to see a magistrate judge and Captain Bradley told me there was not one on duty and told me ?leave the premises right now.? I then stated that I wanted to see a magistrate judge to know my rights on their laws and ordinances on event permits, noise restrictions, and event guidelines. At that point Captain Bradley demanded that I leave the premises and advised campground owner Roy McLeroy to make me leave the premises. I then stated that I have a right to stand on public property and that I was not breaking any laws and that I had the right to see in writing the laws and ordinances governing events and noise restrictions in their county. Captain Bradley, who was out of uniform and refused to give me his first name when I asked him, walked off again yelling ?Roy take her out of here before I lock her up.? I told Captain Bradley he had no grounds to lock me up that no laws were being broken and that I would leave but I would find the proper authorities to find out the Tattnall County ordinances and laws. I also questioned him why the harassment from the people outside the campground toward the festival attendees was not stopped during the night along with the gun fire after numerous 911 calls were made. He said ?We took care of that? and I stated ?Well obviously not because it went on for 5 hours until 4:00am?. He again yelled ?Roy get her out of here?. I then went to the parking lot and began making phone calls along20with Steve Wolfe to try to find out the county ordinances. Inside the precinct Captain Bradley told Roy McLeroy and Dorothy ?Ms Blankenship better watch her back while driving out of this county or she might find herself locked up in my jail.? This was a verbal threat on my safety and well being.? ? ? We returned to the campground and gathered everyone and I made an announcement to the festival attendees that we were not granted the permit that the officers on Friday night told us we could get and that the stage could not resume with music. We then started phoning various county offices including the Sheriff?s department to find out what the county noise ordinance was and we were told several different answers including 9:00pm, 10:00pm, 2:00pm, and All Day. 30 minutes after returning to the campground the magistrate judge drove up. I then questioned him on the ordinances and questioned Captain Bradley?s behavior. His direct comment to me was ?Well you know how small towns are and Captain Bradley is a good old boy and a pretty good officer.? I then stated ?I only know about the small towns that go by their ordinances and laws that are on the books and that do not make up laws as they go along, and where police officers did not threaten people who were just asking to know their rights and to see those laws and ordinances in writing.? The magistrate apologized for Captain Bradley?s behavior and stated he did not think we had20to have a permit because the campground was private property in the county and a membership campground. He then walked away and phoned Sheriff Quinton Rush and came back and told me we could not go on with our event and that he would not issue us a permit.? ? ? At 8:00pm that night people once again lined up outside the campground fence line and resumed yelling obscenities at us and were chanting the same ?F___ing Queers go home?. Once again the loud music, headlights from the cars, and the shooting of firearms into the ponds and into the air resumed until 5:00am on Sunday morning. Again 911 phone calls were made and nothing got stopped. The women in the campground were literally crying in their tents and cabins afraid for their lives and the Tattnall County Sheriff Department did not respond to or stop the harassment.? ? ? Indiegrrl had no prior knowledge that the neighboring community had harsh feelings towards Roy?s Hideaway Campground and had acted out against them in the past. We would not have organized an event at this facility if prior knowledge had existed. We in no way would put festival attendees in any danger by holding an event in a possible hostile environment. We will not hold any more events at this facility in the future nor in the county of Tattnall. We do want to make the public aware of the unjust treatment that existed for this event and the harassment that did take place. Events that we produce bring monies to the local a rea including hotel rentals, restaurant revenues, gas and grocery revenues and more. Our goal at Indiegrrl is to create fun community events that benefit the attendees, the community, and the artists participating. Indiegrrl is still exploring our options on legal proceedings with this situation. It is unacceptable for this type of blatant harassment and prejudicial treatment to go on and the lives of US citizens to be put in jeopardy.

The Georgia Women's Festival, held last weekend in Tattnall County in southeast Georgia, faced harassment from local police and protesters, according to a press release from the festival. However, the owner of the campground where the festival was held and a woman who attended the event are contesting the allegations. ?? ?? Vicki Blankenships allegations of police, residential harassment at all-women's festival contested by campground's owner. The festival was held Oct. 2-4 at Roy?s Hideaway Campground, a private gay and lesbian campground in Collins, Ga. Organizers claim the Tattnall County Sheriff's Department denied them permits for the event and failed to respond when neighbors lined the road near the=2 0campground, shooting guns and shouting slurs including "queers go home. Tattnall County Sheriff Quinton Rush declined comment when contacted by Southern Voice this morning. Vicki Blankenship, a lesbian who has organized music festivals as volunteer president of Indiegrrl Women in the Arts Inc., said the problems with last weekend's festival began Friday with complaints that music was being played too loud ? even though the music had not even started. Blankenship said the festival was denied a permit. "The deputies stated they had lots of complaints=2 0about the noise and a permit would allow us to override the complaints," she said. ?After the deputies left the premises, people lined up outside the fenced perimeter of the campground and began yelling obscenities at the festival attendees and chanted ?Fucking queers go home.? One neighboring piece of property had cars line up in a field that separated the properties between them and the campground and shined their car headlights down into the campground, blared loud music from their car speakers, and proceeded to fire guns down into the pond areas in the campground,? Blankenship said. Roy McLeroy, owner of the campground, denied all of the allegations Blankenship made, saying he is treated with respect and kindness by his neighbors as well as the sheriff?s department. He did say the fest was not able to get a permit and the police did ask for the =0 Amusic to be turned down. ?But then Vicki Blankenship made it into a political thing,? McLeroy said today. ?They never got shut down, there were maybe three shots fired Friday night but the neighbors were shooting at beavers. There were no protesters,? he added. ?Some of my neighbors came because they wanted to listen to the music but I had to tell them that it was a women?s only event. But still three people bought t-shirts. What [Blankenship] said never happened.? There were never the serious problems Blankenship alleges, he added, and20said he thought she was trying to create publicity for herself. ?She?s causing all kinds of damage,? he said. ?I have total support in my community and have never had any problems. This is hurting us.? Carolyn Bowden, president of First City Network in Savannah, Ga., the oldest LGBT group in the state, said she was there and saw nothing of what Blankenship is claiming in her press release. ?I really am flabbergasted,? she said today. ?I was there so when I read this [on sovo.com], my jaw hit the floor,? she said. ?The only thing that happened is she was denied a permit. None of this other stuff happened.? Bowden said her trailer was just 50 yards away from the cabin where Blankenship stayed and she slept with the windows open and did not hear any gunshots ov er the weekend.

As the new Events Director , I am releasing a statement on Roy's behalf. I was not at the event, but based upon my experiences there and the testimony of Roy, and a number of guests, I do not believe events occurred as alleged and do not believe anyone's safety was at risk. I do however want to make it clear to Outvoice that we do support the mission of Indiegrrl and are committed to providing a safe environment for all of our community, and opportunities for all of its performing artists. My Statement Below: We are so sorry that Vicki Blankenship has had a negative experience in Tattnall County while holding an event at our facility; however the actual details of what occurred are unclear, and there have been conflicting accounts. Our main concern has always been to make sure that all of our guests feel safe, secure and respected. We have and will continue to work with local authorities to ensure our guests' continued safety. We are aware that there was some confusion over permits and noise levels, but the engineer was asked to lower the volume numerous times, but did not comply with the requests. The event was not fully shut down, as performances continued poolside. Many of the women who attended have expressed how much they enjoyed themselves despite not being able to have amplified music. Mr. McLeroy and other guests did not witness or experience the alleged harassment, but of course the safety of our guests is of utmost concern. Roy has met with Tattnall County Sheriff Quinton Rush, who has once again pledged his support, and also guaranteed permits for future events and even offered to post two deputies, if requested, at our larger events to ensure everyone's safety. Mr. McLeroy has spent considerable time developing relationships with the community and has the full support of the Sherriff's Office, Magistrates, Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, who have all once again pledged their support of Roy's Hideaway. I have held events at Roy's Hideaway and spent considerable time there getting to know Roy and his family, and I have also been into the community with Roy. I have never experienced anything but support and friendliness from anyone I have encountered. I held a very successful gay men's music event with a number of musical acts there in August and we all had such a great time and never once felt threatened in any way. My friend (openly gay) singer-songwriter Charles K. Brown was even invited to play at the local Wiregrass Festival in Reidsville and had a wonderful time and was well received by the crowd. A local straight owned restaurant has also opened its doors during off hours to accommodate parties from Roy's Hideaway. The impression left on me by Roy and his establishment is so great that I am moving there to join his family and work on creating unique events and programs for the Campground. I have been involved in the LGBT music community for 8 years, doing conferences, festivals and other community activism. I am uprooting my whole life to be a part of his team, because I feel like it is a great place to build something positive for our community. We are interested in what we can create for our community. I am looking forward to the opportunities a place like Roy's Hideaway can give to LGBT people in South Georgia. In our experience, we are establishing a great relationship with the surrounding community. Local officials have expressed their desire to continue to work with us and show their support, so I think we should all try to turn this into a positive thing for our community. Please join us in creating positive change for all of us by working with the County and supporting Roy's Hideaway. LGBT people of Georgia will be better off if we accept the County's offer of continued support and create new allies instead of enemies. Roy has worked hard to create something positive for all of us and I don't want to see it fail because of a misunderstanding, especially when community leaders are so eager to fix the perceived problems. Wouldn't it be nice to read articles about how local officials are supporting an LGBT campground and helping to combat homophobia and any other form of discrimination?

Freddy is correct this is making news in many places. The conflicting information is of concern on all sides. And the information gets even more conflicting if you follow the releases I have received. It is of the utmost importance in my opinion to get to the facts. This will benefit all. As a few releases I have been sent offer different versions, firm information I think would be assistive would be; Were there prior problems or negative issues experienced by the campground with locals at prior events as stated in one press release? If there were issues as described above, did the campground share that information with the organizer? Did the organizer ask for this information prior to booking? How were those issues resolved if such issues happened? Were necessary permit applications filed for the event on time and with necessary fees and or information? Is the campground involved in the placing of permit requests or does the event organizer do this directly? Does the campground provide information on needed permits for such events to organizers? Are there any photographs of any of the harassment which has been described? In this day of cell phone news pics, just asking? Can the Sheriff's pledge to work with the campground in the future be substantiated by an outside source? As well as the seeming welcome attitude by Sheriff? What investigating or checking did event organizers do outside of the campground with regard to local reaction and event security? Are there any attendees who can or will offer more information on their experience at the event? If I receive any answers to these questions they will either be posted here as well by the sender or I will post information as available and received at www.outvoice.net with announcements here. I am however holding posting at OutVoice till I see if there is any response to the questions. This could have negative impact not jut on the campground but future GLBT events as well. So lets get the answers and fix this while "we" still can. Safety and security at GLBT events is the responsibility of organizers and hosts. So lets do what we can to clarify and learn.

As the new Events Director , I am releasing a statement on Roy's behalf. I was not at the event, but based upon my experiences there and the testimony of Roy, and a number of guests, I do not believe events occurred as alleged and do not believe anyone's safety was at risk. I do however want to make it clear to Outvoice that we do support the mission of Indiegrrl and are committed to providing a safe environment for all of our community, and opportunities for all of its performing artists. My Statement Below: We are so sorry that Vicki Blankenship has had a negative experience in Tattnall County while holding an event at our facility; however the actual details of what occurred are unclear, and there have been conflicting accounts. Our main concern has always been to make sure that all of our guests feel safe, secure and respected. We have and will continue to work with local authorities to ensure our guests' continued safety. We are aware that there was some confusion over permits and noise levels, but the engineer was asked to lower the volume numerous times, but did not comply with the requests. The event was not fully shut down, as performances continued poolside. Many of the women who attended have expressed how much they enjoyed themselves despite not being able to have amplified music. Mr. McLeroy and other guests did not witness or experience the alleged harassment, but of course the safety of our guests is of utmost concern. Roy has met with Tattnall County Sheriff Quinton Rush, who has once again pledged his support, and also guaranteed permits for future events and even offered to post two deputies, if requested, at our larger events to ensure everyone's safety. Mr. McLeroy has spent considerable time developing relationships with the community and has the full support of the Sherriff's Office, Magistrates, Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, who have all once again pledged their support of Roy's Hideaway.

National Equality Marchers say "don't ask, don't wait"; An Australian rights charter could include marriage, the U.S. is poised to outlaw anti-LGBT hate crimes, a meeting in Minsk targets Belarus homophobia, Joberg Pride breaks continental records, a Montana co-mom wins post-break-up parental rights, a Swedish rabbit hole leads lesbians through an Aussie looking glass, and more global LGBT news - In "NewsWrap": Australia's National Human Rights Consultation Committee recommends a federal bill of rights that could guarantee marriage equality... an LGBT-inclusive hate crimes bill passes in the U.S. House, with Senate approval imminently expected, while President Barack Obama appoints openly gay lawyer David Heubner as U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa... a record crowd celebrates Pride in Johannesburg, while Belarus LGBT activists and their supporters meet in Minsk for a historic conference... the Montana state Supreme Court rules that a lesbian deserves to continue parenting the children she raised with her now-estranged partner... a haven for lesbians in Sweden is an Internet hoax, but Australia's Alice Springs is for real... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported by JENN MAHONEY and CHRIS WILSON) . - Lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people and their supporters took to the streets of WASHINGTON, DC by the thousands for the NATIONAL EQUALITY MARCH on October 11th. They brought one fundamental demand with them as they passed the White House on their way to the steps of the Capitol: "Equal protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states. Now."? President Barack Obama has promised to significantly advance LGBT civil rights by the end of his anticipated second term, and he reiterated those intentions ? with all the passionate eloquence of his previous pledges ? at the Human Rights Campaign's gala annual dinner the night before the march. The sense that progressive action is necessary to turn Obama's progressive rhetoric into substantive change was one reason for a demonstration aimed at the federal government, as March Co-Chair CLEVE JONES told CNN's ANDERSON COOPER earlier in the week. This Way Out's CHRISTOPHER GAAL heard many reasons to march from some of the people who filled the streets of Washington for the event, including tennis legend MARTINA NAVRATILOVA. When they arrived at the end of their trek, they were greeted by This Way Out's RICK WATTS, who served as rally announcer on the main stage. Rick introduced longtime San Diego gay activist NICOLE MURRAY RAMIREZ, as well as a sing-along with bi U.K. recording artist BILLIE MYERS and "out" U.S. jazz saxophonist DAVE KOZ. Civil rights pioneer and NAACP Chairman JULIAN BOND20gave the keynote address. ********************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.).

Her book is now out. Thought some of you would be interested. Here's the announcement she sent to her mailing list: At the April, 1993 National Lesbian Conference in Atlanta, GA, I announced to an auditorium filled with Lesbians that I would be taking time off the road to begin my memoirs. Many misinterpreted this as a retirement announcement, which it certainly wasn't, because three months later I went back on the road. For sixteen years I continued to write , then edit, moved from Woodstock to Oakland and back, became a grandmother, and, at long last, MY RED BLOOD is done and published by Alyson Books. _http://www.alyson.com/9781593501075.html_ (http://www.alyson.com/9781593501075.html) Along the way, I have received heaps & mobs of support from many of you; everything from careful editing, suggestions, & criticism to general interest & encouragement, all of which made a huge difference, inspired me, & kept me slogging forward. Now, of course, I'll be back on the road with the book & may even be stopping near you. I hope so! You can check my website, _alixdobkin.com_ (http://www.alixdobkin.com/) and see where I'm bound. So, of course I hope you get your hands on a copy of MY RED BLOOD: A Memoir of Growing Up Communist, Coming Onto the Greenwich Village Folk Scene, and Coming Out in the Feminist Movement, read, & love it. Here's a synopsis followed by a link to Alyson with lots more info. Again, I'm grateful for your support & wish you a Happy New Year & a terrific autumn. XXAlix MY RED BLOOD: A Memoir of Growing Up Communist, Coming Onto the Greenwich Village Folk Scene, and Coming Out in the Feminist Movement In her pre-Lesbian memoir, Alix Dobkin writes of the 1940s when she watches Jane Powell at Radio City Music Hall, Jackie Robinson at Ebbets Field, and meets Paul Robeson in her Communist parent's kitchen. As a teenager, Alix responds to the anti-communism of the 1950s by joining the Party and touring the Soviet Union. She sees Rock 'n' Roll co-opt Rhythm & Blues and lands in Greenwich Village just in time to be part of the folk music scene. She befriends Bob Dylan and becomes his "favorite white female singer" before he meets Joan Baez. Tours in the south and mid-west, a wild LSD trip, marriage, and a baby, is followed by consciousness-raising and feminism, which leads to coming out, writing Lesbian songs and pioneering Women's Music. _http://www.alyson.com/9781593501075.html_ (http://www.alyson.com/9781593501075.html) - Jamie Jamie Anderson, writer and musician creative - quick - sensible shoes _www.jamieanderson.com/journalist.html_ (http://www.jamieanderson.com/journalist.html) Quit writing your own bio!

Click to freely subscribe at www.thiswayout.org "THIS WAY OUT: the international lesbian & gay radio magazine Program #1,125 - distributed 10/19/09 (hosted this week by Lucia Chappelle and produced with Greg Gordon) National Equality March clergy bring blessings from Bishop Tutu; Tiber's travels from "Taking Woodstock" to Stonewall and back; A Ugandan MP proposes the death penalty for gay sex, Jamaica's P.M. nixes lesbigay rights while "kill gays" reggae star Buju Banton renews his "war against faggots," but Russian celebrities speak out against bias, Washington mulls District marriage equality, and more LGBT news - In "NewsWrap": A bill proscribing the death penalty for certain same-gender sexual activity is introduced in the Ugandan parliament... Jamaica Prime Minister BruceGolding vows to exclude sexual minorities from a proposed Charter of Fundamental Rights currently being drafted, while "kill gays" Jamaican reggae starBuju Banton meets with LGBT activists in San Francisco and then continues to fuel his "war between me and faggots", but a group of well-known Russian singers and writers call for an end to anti-lesbigay discrimination... in response to a query about anti-gay measures on the ballots in Maine and Washington, the White House issues a statement saying that PresidentObama believes "strongly in stopping laws designed to take rights away", while a likely-to-pass marriage equality bill is introduced in the Washington, D.C. City Council... a Mormon leader sparks a firestorm for comparing the backlash against his Church over its support for Proposition 8 to the suffering of Southern Blacks during the civil rights struggles of the1960s... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by CHRISTOPHER GAAL and GREG GORDON). - Demanding full equality in the land of the free, nearly a quarter of a million LGBT activists and their supporters marched on the home of their federal government October 11th. Organizing for the NATIONAL EQUALITY MARCH was fueled by impatience with the Obama Administration, and galvanized by state-level battles like the Prop 8 loss in California and the upcoming ballot measures in Maine and Washington. Religious right groups have as usual been deeply involved in opposingLGBTs on all of those issues, so it was interesting to see queer-supportive communities of faith take the stage ahead of any other rally speakers: theLGBT-affirming Metropolitan Community Church's REVEREND ELDER TROY PERRY reads a letter of support from Nobel Peace Prize-winning ANGLICAN BISHOP DESMOND TUTU and salutes past and present equality pioneers in his invocation (with intro music from the "Star Spangled Banner" performed at the rally by the GAY MEN'S CHORUS OF WASHINGTON, D.C.). - Previously on "This Way Out," ELLIOTT TIBER told us about living the story of "TAKING WOODSTOCK." Tiber's 2007 memoir was the basis for Ang Lee's recent film, and he shared some behind-the-scenes dish about the legendary concert, meeting the Oscar-winning director, and how the movie came to be. His conversation with our entertainment reporter STEVE PRIDE concludes this week with Tiber?s personal story about coming out, becoming an activist, and how fame has affected his life (with intro music from "Woodstock," written and performed by JONI MITCHELL). ********************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.).

Germany's highest court orders same-gender couple pensions equality, but LGBT rights are rejected by drafters of Kenya's new constitution, but a landmark bill to add sexual orientation and gender identity to existing U.S. hate crime laws heads to President Obama for his signature... popular Irish hurler Donal Og Cusack comes out... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to RITA GONZALES and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by LEIGH MOORE and MICHELE PLEASANT). - They've been dubbed the "Stonewall 2.0 Generation," and the success of the NATIONAL EQUALITY MARCH seems to have demonstrated that they're here and queer... and not very patient. They coupled the power of online social networking with old-fashioned grassroots organizing to bring some 200,000 LGBT people and their supporters to Washington, D.C. on October 11th -- many of whom were participating in their first such action. The large youth contingent at the post-March rally on the Capitol steps resonated strongly with political activist CHRISTINE CHAVEZ, the granddaughter of United Farm Workers co-founder Cesar Chavez. They also saw themselves in Penelope Williams, a young "bisexual queer" of color from New York City who introduced someone they could really go gaga over (pop star LADY GAGA, that is). - There are a couple of new "out" anthems included in this month's "AUDIOFILE," which features a Toronto-New Yorker (excerpts from "Love Is Love" and the title track from ATHENA REICH's "LITTLE GIRL DREAMS"), an Angeleno ("Future Street" and the title track from MARK WINKLER's "TIL I GET IT RIGHT"), and a Canadian-Australian duo ("Mama I Love Her" and "Living Out Proud" from SUGARBEACH's "NOT DESERTED") ? with comments by the artists, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE, and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM.

"Unravelling Michelle" is hands down the best trans-topic film I've ever seen - I would highly recommend this film as a positive inspiration for all LGBT people. Filmmaker Joe/Michelle, who, as a professional filmmaker in real life, had the unique ability to film his own entire coming out/transitioning process - with footage covering years of his life. And throughout all the hurdles (and as one can imagine there are lots...) remains upbeat, hopeful, and completely at one with his coming out and transitioning. - this woman is a true mensch! Her uplifting/gentle/honest/courageous personality carries the entire documentary. CENSORIOUS - Censorious! is a funny, provocative, feminist view of the culture wars narrated by artists who fought public battles against the censors. Raising issues of representation, race, sexuality and politics, artists such as Holly Hughes, Renee Cox, Carolee Schneemann, Martha Wilson and others reveal both the personal and professional costs of their battles and the relationship of their work to the larger women?s movement and American culture. Excerpts from banned art works by Karen Finley, Annie Sprinkle, Carol Leigh, Howardena Pindell, Deep Dish TV and many others punctuate the documentary. UNRAVELLING MICHELLE - This courageous documentary presents a year and a half in the life of a well-respected East Coast filmmaker ? formerly known as Joe O?Ferrell ? as he begins to make the transition into the person he has an undying need to fully become ? a woman named Michelle Ann Farrelll. To most of the people in his life, Joe is an all-around ?guy?s guy? living out a professional dream of running two videography businesses as well as an independent film production company ? a dream which would have once been unimaginable for Joe. After early success in his life as a national roller hockey champion, Joe tragically turned to a life mired in drugs, dealing and using hard-core narcotics on the streets of Baltimore. Reaching the depths of despair as a strung-out heroin addict, Joe finally got clean, turned his life completely around, and found a calling as a filmmaker. Despite his miraculous turnaround, Joe continued struggling privately with his lifelong discomfort in being male. And after eight years clean from drugs and alcohol, Joe faces the most challenging realization of his life; if he ever wants to feel complete, he needs to take the plunge and re-introduce himself to everyone he knows as Michelle.With everything in his life at stake, Joe/Michelle audaciously takes his/her crew of young filmmakers along for the ride as he/she undergoes two facial feminization surgeries and boldly comes out as Michelle to those around him/her -with surprisingly unexpected consequences. ?Unraveling Michelle? is a film that?s uplifting and inspiring to anyone who is someone ? or knows someone ? who struggles with simply surviving in their own skin. THE DEVIL WITHIN - (cartoon) When Mary signed up her new house mate Jessica, she had no idea that she would be living with the spawn of the Devil! Overwhelmed with disgust, Mary explodes into a religious rant to save her new housemate from the eternal flames of Hell. Whether you wear pants, listen to rock and roll music, enjoy a vagetarian lifestyle, support the choice of abortion, have sex before marriage or are homosexual, beware the wrath of Mary. Your only salvation is to repent, to feel the loving touch of God as he gropes your soul clean of all things evil?to be just like Mary. The ?Devil Within? is a beautifully twisted tale that leave you feeling good about everything bad. luv - robert urban/URBAN PRODUCTIONS, NYC light & sound & video - Chashama Film Festival more on the films at http://www.chafilmfest.com From rwaite at twcny.rr.com Wed Oct 28 06:22:44 2009 From: rwaite at twcny.rr.com (Ronald Waite) Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:22:44 -0400 Subject: [OutVoice] Warm wishes Message-ID: <3C92B00641C34E0FA69CD00894B9F24B@S0031675456> October 28, 2009 Happy Birthday to Andy Bey and Happy Birthday to James Dean Jay Bird (Y'all) and Happr Birthday to John Charles Barrett aka Desmond Child and Happy Birthday to Kim-Char Meredith and Happy Birthday to Shelly Weiss (OutMedia) More Birthdays at www.famousbirthdays.com "Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass?" ~ Michael Torke E-cards are sent through BlueMountain.com.
