I don't usually bypass the voting structure, but I think this situation calls for it.

Please take a moment to read the article. This is why homophobia needs to end - why we can't just be silent as it's encouraged or tolerated by those in power. It's not an abstract issue about marriage or civil unions, it's not even about equality or human rights. It's about the all too concrete fact that too many people have died. Too many fucking children have died. And it has to end.

Hey everyone,

Shortly after the end of February the London Indymedia (http://freedom.2y.net/wiki/London_Indymedia)
organizers will be assembling a March gender & sexuality issue of our monthly print zine. 
We’re looking for submissions that take a progressive stance (of some sort) on these issues.

You can contact us at londonontario . indymedia at gmail . com

We’re always looking for submissions and other contributions -- and submissions about gender & sexuality issues would be more than welcome. 
There haven't been enough web site posts and other contributions that address gender & sexuality issues! 

Toban
on behalf of the other Indymedia organizers

Hi everyone,

There now is a London area web calendar for progressive events at the new London Indymedia web site -
http://londonontario.indymedia.org

You can get to the listings for the current month through links off of the main page of the Indymedia web site,
or by going here: http://londonontario.indymedia.org/?q=event

Anyone can add event listings to the calendar -- with or without an account on the site.  Anyone also can post without entering a name, let alone a real one.
To add an event listing click "Post to the site" (near the top left) and then click "Event".

(That process is almost identical to posting events at the London Commons.  The setup of the two sites should be even more in synch in the near future; on the Indymedia site we'll probably be changing the way you enter the "Body" text.)

Any event postings that are ...
pro- environmentalism  and/or  pro- peace  and/or  pro- social justice  and/or  pro- genuine democracy
... should be appropriate,
though we may not accept event postings with strong ties to political parties.  The calendar also likely will be very local.

I mention what the editors will and won't "accept" because additions to the calendar will be reviewed by us after they're posted (though anyone on the site can view them in the meantime; they're not kept in a queue).  We may remove postings.  If anything is removed from the calendar it will be moved to the "Hidden posts" section, which you can get to through a link near the top left.  (Advertising spam is an exception -- we usually just delete that.)  Ideally we wouldn't hide any posts, but there is a broadly progressive mandate behind the web site that we work to uphold.  read more »
