Harwood Art Center's first annual LGBTQ show examines gender: identity, construction, deconstruction and transgression, and society's reaction to pushing American gender boundaries.
This year's show is a juried exhibition based on an open call. In a wide range of media, including pen & ink, oils, photography and sculpture, artists examine what gender means to them, how it has affected their lives and the lives of others, and other people's responses to their apperance.
Artists include: Monika ten Bruggencate, Beth Christense, Helen Cozza, Dick & Wayne, Sofia Eleftheriou, Peter Grahame, Branden Koch, and Jax Manhoff.
In conjunction with the exhibit & the Southwest Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, there will be a screening of the film "Assume Nothing" on September 30th at 7pm at the Harwood Art Center.
The 1st Annual New Mexico Transgender Summit is hosted by the New Mexico HIV Community Planning and Action Group to address the needs of the transgender community in New Mexico with regards to HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD's prevention and testing.
The summit will be held at the Los Griegos Community Center at 1231 Candelaria NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107.
It is our hopes that both those from the transgender community and the professional community will come together to start a dialog on the needs for prevention and testing services.
As the legislative session comes to an end, we are deeply disappointed that SB183, Domestic Partnerships sponsored by Senator Wirth and Representative Stewart, was tabled in the Senate Finance Committee this year.
However, we are pleased to have Senator McSorley introduce SB146, a bill to change marriage license forms to applicant 1 and applicant 2. We also defeated any legislation that would define marriage.
In order to give you all an opportunity to hear a debrief of this legislative session, please see below for the upcoming gatherings.

*When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice... 1967 Address to the SCLC, Dr. Martin Luther King
