JOIN US: The LOFT Marches with Senator Gillibrand

JOIN The LOFT as we march with US Senator Gillibrand!
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is a longtime champion fighting for LGBTQIA+ equality in everything from housing to health care. She led the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and efforts to protect LGBTQIA+ service members from discrimination and allow them the right to serve openly in the military. She's worked to support LGBTQIA+ businesses and protect against lending discrimination and helped galvanize Congress to pass the Respect for Marriage Act. Senator Gillibrand is an original co-sponsor of the Equality Act, and she leads the Hate Crimes Commission Act and the John Lewis Every Child Deserves a Family Act.
The exact time and location of the march formation are TBD. We will email each registrant the details as soon as they are available. Please note that the NYC Pride March runs from 12-6 PM. However, we are happy to have you join us for as long as you can!

LGBTQ Health Advocacy

Just because a doctor is assigned to you, doesn’t mean you have to keep them.

If your doctor uses harsh language, refuses to recognize your partner, or refuses to provide healthcare related to your sexual orientation, ask for a different doctor.

You should feel comfortable talking about your sexual identity, sexual behaviors, and gender identity when you visit a doctor’s office or clinic.

Are You Going to See Jackson Crash !?

New Play: Jackson Crash Play comes to LOFT-MUMC Campus

Friday, June 16th at 7:00 PM

Jackson Crash tells the story of one man's journey from bullying and parental neglect to discovering his queerness, starting a family, becoming a truck driver, and pursuing his dreams -- all while being chased by an insidious demon. Can Jackson find a place to hide before the Creeper-Man catches him??? With pathos and irreverent humor, Jackson lays bare his broken heart and valiant voyage of self-discovery, inviting you, the audience, to sympathize, empathize, and recall your own story.

From the fertile mind and bleeding heart of Jonathan Riedel, Artistic Director of Riedel Dance Theater, Limón Dance Company principal dancer, lead singer and songwriter of Rubber Skulls, comes this bold, brash and poignant theatrical experience.

Out At The Movies: Pride FREE TICKETS

OUT at The Movies | Pride + Short Film, Incomplete 2023. 16 m. dir. Sasha Korbut.| June 7th-Wed | Jacob Burns Film Center | Group gathers at 6:40 PM | Free tickets available, RSVP: [email protected]

Pride is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It’s the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power, and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers’ families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. This touching comedy stars Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually), Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake), Andrew Scott (Fleabag), and George Mackay (1917).
