<p>Re: Same-gender civil unions</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dear Senator Williams:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am pleased to see comments in the press recently that the Oklahoma Democratic leadership recognizes that the Legislature has much more important business to attend to than the divisive bills introduced by various House and Senate members on same-gender civil unions. While I come from the position that such unions should be permitted as a basic individual right and liberty, it is also important that the state of Oklahoma not once again be labeled as backward and bigoted. This is not the image we need if we want to develop real economic opportunity for our citizens. As the two enclosed articles note, the states and cities which support a progressive and diverse work environment –including their gay and lesbian citizens - are the ones who will most likely move forward in their economic development.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We should also be supportive of the thousands of Oklahoma families who have gay children or other relatives – and simply wish to have the same rights and responsibilities as of the rest of the population. We certainly do not want to codify in our state or federal constitutions examples of blatant bigotry, a legacy which would be ashamed of for generations to come. Instead, let’s take a deep breath – and pursue the real issues that mean a better quality of life for all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dennis R. Neill</p>

[2003] Gay and Lesbian Fund For Tulsa
Description
An account of the resource
In 2003, Dennis Neill attended the Gill Foundation's Outgiving Program. At the meeting Gill explained the use of a donor fund, the Colorado Gay & Lesbian Fund, to bring awareness to LGBTQ giving and ensure non-profits have appropriate non-discrimination policies. In 2004, Nancy and Joe McDonald, Mona Pittenger, Doug Campbell, and Dennis Neill established the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa with the Tulsa Community Foundation. The mission is “to support effective Tulsa area nonprofits which practice diversity in their policies and workplace while building public awareness of the contributions that the LGBT community and their friends, family and other allies make to improve the quality of life in the Tulsa area.” Leveraging off of a matching grant from the Gill Foundation, the organizers contributed funds and reached out to others to consider directing some of their charitable giving thru the Fund, with the following benefits:
• Branding dollars as coming from the LGBT community and their allies • Encouraging non-profits to include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies and procedures. • Enhancing the level of local giving with the possibility of matching some of our giving with dollars from the Gill Foundation of Colorado.
The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been working to encourage non-profits to add Sexual Orientation to their non-discrimination policies. To date, some 35 Tulsa area non-profits have indicated that they have such policies or are working to do so. We have already sponsored events with 5 non-profits. The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been recognized in their programs and other appropriate publicity. We hope to support many other non-profits through grants for events, programs and capital campaigns. To do so, we need you to consider re-channeling some of your giving through the Fund. This will allow us to encourage non-profits to recognize diversity and maximize the dollars available through the Gill Foundation matching program.

Recognition of guests, Extended Family, Michelle Hoffman's tireless work on the video. Rene Potter, our dear friend from Tucson, coming to join us and
provide this wonderful entertainment.
For 27 years, OkEq has been here, working for equality, being a community supporter, providing outreach and services. For an organization which has grown from an annual budget of a few thousand dollars to one with a budget of a few hundred thousand dollars, one constant has been there, an absolute reliance on dedicated volunteers and board and recently a few loyal staff who work day in and day out for our important mission.
I can only accept this very gracious gesture of OkEq by recognizing that every step of the way, what we have done has been a team effort sharing in our successes and dealing with our losses.
We could not have done our important work without our allies and friends in the community. And the partners who provide the support throughout the ups and downs. Thank you John.
We now have a center the entire community can be proud of. This new home is here today and will be [...]

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>ISN’T IT GREAT TO HAVE AMBASSADOR HORMEL AND HIS PARTNER IN TULSA TONIGHT?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>SPECIAL LEADERS IN THE ALL IMPORTANT FIGHT FOR THE GLBT COMMUNITY.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IN TULSA, WE HAVE ALSO BEEN BLESSED WITH COMMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE VOLUTEERED THEIR TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR SERVICES TO THE GLBT COMMUNITY – PROVIDING EDUCATION, OUTREACH , ADVOCACY.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FOR 23 YEARS, TOHR HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT ANCHOR IN THAT EFFORT – BUT AN ANCHOR THAT IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS CHAIN – OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>TONIGHT, YOU REPRESENT A LARGE PART OF THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE ENSURED THAT TOHR CONTINUE TO GROW AND EVOLVE OVER THESE 23 YEARS.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>BRENT AND SUE HAVE HIGHTLIGHTED THE PROGRAMS OF TOHR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.</strong></p>
<p><strong>WHAT I WISH TO CONVEY IS THE IMPORTANCE OF TOHR AND ITS PROGRAMS BEING AT THE CORE OF YOUR GIVING – OF TIME AND MONEY.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>THERE ARE MANY WORTHWHILE CAUSES IN OUR CITY, IN OUR STATE, IN OUR NATION, AND AROUND THE GLOBE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THOSE EFFORTS THAT WE CAN. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>BUT A FEW CAUSES WE CAN MAKE THE CORE OF OUR GIVING, AND REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THOSE CAUSES. WHEN WE REFLECT IN THE FUTURE ON HOW EACH OF US USED OUR RESOURCES, I BELIEVE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE MADE TOHR A CORE OF OUR GIVING WILL BE PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>BY BEING HERE TONIGHT, YOU ARE IN ALL LIKLIHOOD A CONTIRIBUTOR TO TOHR’S BUDGET. IF TOHR CAN BE IN THE CORE OF YOUR CHARITABLE DONATIONS, WE WILL TAKE THE ORGANIZATION TO THE NEXT LEVEL.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE EXPAND THIS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPPORTERS WITHIN THE GLBT AND STRAIGHT COMMUNITY. SO ASK YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR THEIR HELP. VOLUNTEER MORE OF YOUR TIME AND MONEY. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>BE POSITIVE ABOUT OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE YEARS . PARTICIPATE IN THE CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY OF SERVING TULSA’S GLBT COMMUNITY TODAY AND TOMORROW. WE WILL BE PROUD OF WHAT WE DID TO MOVE TOHR AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS FORWARD – TOGETHER.</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Dear Councilor Christiansen:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I understand that the City Council’s June 17, 2010 agenda will include a discussion of including sexual orientation in the city’s non-discrimination ordinance. I hope you will do the right thing for the City and its citizens and vote to accept the recommendation from the Tulsa Human Rights Commission. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This inclusive step has been analyzed and discussed within the City since 1978 and was first recommended by the Tulsa Human Rights Commission in 1995. It is time for the City of Tulsa to make this affirmative and positive step and join hundreds of sister cities in moving diversity forward. By doing so, it will be a momentous day and one I can cherish as a resident of the City since 1977.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for your favorable consideration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
