| What MGLCC Means to Me | |
 Memphis Gay & Lesbian Center plays a very important role in my life by keeping me involved with the Memphis GLBT community. As an avid film lover, the Outflix Film Festival, presented by the Center, has taken me from the theater seat to beyond the silver screen. Over the years, I've had the privilege and joy of meeting film directors and cast members from quality GLBT independent films which has always been a life-long dream. I'm very lucky to be a part of an organization that brings award winning films to the Mid-South and surrounding areas. Thank you MGLCC!

| March for LGBT Rights - Millington | |
 Organizer's of an LGBT Rights march in Millington ask you to TAKE A STAND!
"Prop 8 in California: Defeated. 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell': Repealed. Marriage Equality in Maryland: Reached. President Obama's thoughts on DOMA: 'Unconstitutional'.
"It has been an amazing last 6 months for equality. But the fight continues because justice is not complete. We need to stand united and show America and the world that we will not tire, we will not weaken, and we will demand full civil rights and full equality.
"On April 21, 2012, over 30 cities around the world and across our nation will be hosting rallies and marches to demand those civil rights. From Washington D.C., New York City, the Philippines to Uganda, the LGBT community and their supporters will stand in solidarity. Millington, TN will be among those cities and we're asking you to stand with us and take a stand. Be counted among us, with the world, to say, 'Our Time Is Now!' " FACEBOOK

| Participants Needed for Research Study |  University of Memphis researchers are recruiting participants for a research study focused on the grief and bereavement experiences of gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) individuals who have lost a committed partner. This study is focused on exploring the grief and bereavement experiences of gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals who have lost a committed partner. Participants in this study will be asked to complete a survey that is expected to take 15-20 minutes. This survey is anonymous, does not require any identifying information, and any published research resulting from this study will be reported as aggregate data. The researcher will donate $1 for each survey initiated to the Human Rights Campaign and to the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC), up to $250. Terminating this survey does not preclude a donation.
Qualifications:
Participation in this study is limited to gay, lesbian, or bisexual adults over the age of 18, who are living in the United States, and have experienced the death of a committed partner. Committed partnership is defined (for this study) as an intimate, exclusive relationship between two individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. SURVEY LINK |
