Oklahomans for Equality is going purple and blowing the centers roof off!
Let’s show LGBT youth they’re not alone. Let’s stand together against bullying for Spirit day October 15th, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. on top of the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center!
We invite everyone to wear purple and join this year’s ultimate roof top rally! Your purple shirt is your ticket in and symbolizes your support for LGBT youth as well as speaking out against bullying.
After the rally there will be a screening of the movie Julio of Jackson Heights. The movie will be projected on the side of the building with seating in the parking lot, just like a drive-in movie. There will be a concession stand and free popcorn. Click here to watch the trailer https://vimeo.com/42984120
"Julio of Jackson Heights" is the story of how all this changed. It is the story of how a handful of people - Julio's friends and family - decided that they would not accept the official police report, and learned how to organize, ultimately bringing their case to the attention of then Mayor Dinkins. And it is the story of how their actions sparked a movement that founded the Queens Pride Parade, supported the creation of over a dozen LGBT organizations and ultimately served as the platform that elected two openly gay candidates to the New York City Council.
Twenty years later, the Rivera family, Julio's friends, community leaders and the police speak of the decisions they made and reflect upon the changes they set in motion.
