Dialogue and Conference Call
DATE: Thursday, February 24th, 2011
TIME: 6:00 – 7:30
In November of last year, along with other community members, allgo responded to the media-reported wave of LGBT youth suicides that occurred across the country.  Since then, through forums and conference calls allgo supporters have expressed concern, brainstormed ideas and voiced a motivation to do more.  On Thursday, February 24th we will complete this series with an action-driven conference call. Now is the time to respond and decide what we can do as a community to address the growing concerns surrounding LGBT youth, schools and wellness.

Please join us for this conference call.  Bring your concrete ideas, your passion and your energy to work.
Your voice in this call is very important.

We hope that you will participate and encourage others to participate.  We expect a lively and informative discussion.

Movie Night: Finding Me

Sunday, February 6th, 2011
February 8, 2011
6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Join allgo Tuesday, February 8th, 2011 at 6:30 pm for movie screening and discussion of:Finding Me


Finding Me is a new independent film, by first time writer/director Roger S. Omeus Jr., that examines queer identity from an African American perspective. RayMartell Moore stars as Faybien Allen, a young gay man of Haitian descent, who doesn’t know who he is and questions his place in the cosmos. Faybien is a major league slacker who still lives at home with his father and works at a dead end job selling shoes. His father is a nasty man who berates his son’s lack of ambition whenever he can; his temperament is established in the very first scene when Faybien oversleeps and is late for a job interview. He is also fiercely homophobic and Faybien is afraid of him. While trying to prove to his old man that he can make something of his life, he remains locked in a closet of his own making.

Baile 2011 is Postponed

Friday, February 4th, 2011
February 4, 2011 12:00 pm


Due to the weather conditions Baile
will  take NOT take place tonight!

The City of Austin has closed its facilities including the venue for Baile.

Dont worry though.  We will be rescheduling.  We will let you know the new date as soon as it is confirmed.

We will honor all tickets already purchased on the new date or refund your money if you can not attend.  Details about refunds will be sent out via email and posted on the web-site as soon as they are in place.

We are so sorry that the weather didn’t cooperate with our dancing plans.  Baile is our biggest fundraiser of the year but our health and safety is so much more important.
Don’t put those dancing shoes away, though, because we will still bring the heat!

We will let you know when. See you then!

BOLD Gathering Teleconference: Locating Ourselves within Movement(s) by user5157065

Are we, as QTPOC, a strong arm of a bigger movement (such as the mainstream gay movement) or are we leading a movement of our own? At our national BOLD Gathering, we will talk about movements and organizing and leadership as the US population changes to majority people of color. How can we, as QTPOC people, affect the creation and direction of a movement that brings about the change for which we dream and work? What do we need to know?
Panelists: Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz, Malachi Larrabee-Garza

What is this Movement?

BOLD Gathering Teleconference: What Is This Movement Moment by user6393373

This moment we are in, when the world is undergoing great upheaval and change, offers great opportunities and challenges for us. Some examples of opportunities are the fast ways to communicate and connect through technology; an US that will soon be majority people of color; an increased interest in queer relationships and their place in society; people rising up around the world to claim their freedom. Some examples of challenges are the failed economy and the increase of unemployed and poor people; the attack on immigrants; the growth of the rightwing and the power it has found in the Tea Party; and tensions between and among communities of color. What’s our movement moment? What skills and understandings do we need to meet it?
Panelists: Trishala Deb, Kenyon Farrow
