Stand Up Sacramento!

Sacramento's Rainbow Festival on Labor day weekend expected to have Fundamentalist Slavic Christian Protesters, instead we received great support from the many religious groups and Christian churches when we asked for help from the community. The Gay community organized a counter-demonstration and our local Christian Community organized a "Christian Witness for Love and Justice." Thank You!

Comments from our supporters at the Rainbow Festival Street Faire, September 3rd, 2006:

Acceptance of the GLBT community by Rev. Jim Truesdell from Pioneer Congregational United Church of Christ at Sacramento Rainbow Festival.

 

Rev. Dr. Susan Hamilton of Parkside Community United Church of Christ at Sacramento Rainbow Festival. God welcomes everyone. "We stand in affirmation and support."

 

Gay Rights support comment by Helen Roland from Davis United Methodist Church of Davis California. Her comments on the decision of her church to become all inclusive and how it affects her family and marriage.

 

Jerry Sloan's comments on the "Nice peaceful gay celebration" and a call for the entire sacramento community to stand up against the bigotry facing the gay community.
