A special dinner for two, just for some special time spent with you.


Sooooo, who's been to the Spread the Love Expo?!
If you seen my mini event post last week you know that the SLGBTA has their second annual Spread the Love Expo fully underway [opened February 1st] and is so worth a visit - or three, if you're me.

If you're not aware, the SL Gay Bi Transgender Alliance does some wonderful things within sl for rl causes to help and benefit groups and others in the LGBT community. They're an amazing group of people over there. And the Spread the Love Expo is one of those events! With each of the wonderful creators taking part bringing a selection of new and exclusive goodies, all with a displayed percentage of each sale to be donated to that rounds selected charity or group.
This years event donations will benefit The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC Foundation). Another wonderful group of people working closely within the rl LGBT community that is "organized for the charitable and educational purposes of promoting public education and welfare for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community" and "strives to end discrimination against LGBT people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all" [more about them here]. And who doesn't support that!?!

 There's such a wide range of goodies to be had at this event too, from clothing and jewelery to furniture and budgie birds... Yes, budgie. Oh my word! The cuteness!! 
So I would certainly recommend heading over there for a looksee to grab yourself some of these wonderful goodies for a wonderful cause to help support some wonderful people/organizations. 
It's a win win!
Keep in mind it's only a two week event though, ending this Sunday, February 15th, so hurry! ♥

This time last year the SLGBT Alliance brought to us The Spread the Love Expo Gacha Event, a charity event that raised just over L$100,000 for the PFLAG foundation (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). It was an amazing event based around and filled with love that with the help of the SL community was able to do some wonderful things.

And they're back at it again this year! 
Opening today, February 1st, and running until the 15th the SLGBT Alliance brings to us the second annual The Spread the Love Expo! 
This year the lindens raised will benefit The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (or HRC Foundation), a foundation which works from within the LGBT community to, according to their mission statement, "promote the social welfare of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. By inspiring and engaging individuals and communities, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all".

And that's what it is really all about isn't it? Fairness and equality - for all.


 Here's another chance for the SL community to come together to support not only love but the overall happiness each individual has their own right to obtain and live, freely.
So come join as 25 incredible supporting designers unite with *New* and *Exclusive* items for this two week long event!

The event opens at 3PM SLT February 1st

Please share.
"On November 4th of 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT Community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response. 

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest in response, which features subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silences by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest. 
While inspired by the passage of Prop 8, the scope of the NOH8 Campaign has since grown to stand against discrimination and bullying of all kinds. The message of "No Hate" can be interpreted and applied broadly, and speaks to each person in their own way. 

The NOH8 Campaign itself is a charitable organization whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest." (Please visit NoH8Campaign.com for more information.)


With Chicago Pride Parade [fb] coming this weekend,
this was something near and dear to my heart I wanted to do and share.

Love each other. Unconditionally and without prejudice. 

We are brothers and sisters to all living things, 
and nothing else, neither race nor colour nor religion nor sex, 
should be more important than this one deepest, 
most extraordinary thing connecting us.
