Oscar awards of note
Dustin Lance Black won the Oscar for
Original Screenplay for Milk, a part of his
acceptance speech:
I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it
gave me hope. It gave me the hope
to live my life. It gave me the hope one
day I could live my life openly as who I
am and then maybe even I could even fall
in love and one day get married.
Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best
Actor, a part of his
acceptance speech:
"I think it is a
good time for those
who voted for the
ban against gay
marriage to sit and
reflect and
anticipate their
great shame and the
shame in their
grandchildren's eyes
if they continue
that way," Penn
said.
"We've got to have
equal rights for
everyone."

Respect Sacramento
disbands
After more than 10 years (first as GLSEN
Greater Sacramento) the board members of
Respect Sacramento have decided to disband
the organization. We have been at this work
for many years, and while we are still
dedicated to the cause of safe schools for
all, the work of
maintaining and sustaining an organization
has exhausted our capacity to continue. Each
of us will continue to work in our own way
as individuals or with other organizations.
We hope that our friends understand our
decision and we look forward to seeing you
as we continue to fight for safety and
equality.

Hate Crime Grafitti
Ten homes near the 6500 block of Land Park Drive were vandalized
overnight on Saturday, April 25th, or early Sunday, April 26th.
Unknown suspects used black permanent marker to write anti-gay
and racial slurs on garage doors and front doors of homes and on
vehicles. A Sacramento Police Department spokesperson said the
perpetrators probably were on foot based on the vandalism
pattern. No witnesses to the incidents have come forward. Police
have photographed the crime scenes, and the case remains open.
Anyone having information about this crime is urged to contact
CRIME ALERT at (916) 443-HELP or (800) AA-CRIME. Callers may

Gay man attacked in Midtown Thursday,
A gay man was assaulted on Thursday, June 19, at approximately
1:45 a.m. while walking alone after leaving a Midtown bar near
20th and J streets. He was hospitalized with injuries and
released from the hospital on Friday afternoon. The attackers
are believed to be three or four white males, according to
witnesses who observed the attack.
The attackers allegedly used homophobic slurs during the attack.
The victim also was robbed. The attack is not believed to be
related to earlier hate crime attacks that have occurred in
recent weeks, according to Capt. Darrell Fong of the Sacramento
Police Department.
June 1, 2008
A gay male couple was assaulted after attempting to intervene in
a fight near their residence at approximately 1 a.m. Sunday,
June 1, near the intersection of E and 28th streets.
The two victims, one of whom was dressed in drag, were returning
to their home when they observed a man shouting and threatening
to stab and beat up another man. When they called out to the
alleged perpetrator to "calm down," he turned on them, chasing
them and yelling gay slurs. He broke off a 3-foot length of
fence picket and struck the victim who was in drag, then picked
up a metal chair and threw it at the victim. Acting in
self-defense, the victim picked up the chair and struck the
alleged perpetrator before fleeting to the safety of his home.
Sacramento Police officers responded to the scene and arrested
the alleged perpetrator, who has not yet been arraigned.
The incident appears to be the third anti-LGBT hate crime in
Sacramento in less than three weeks. On May 15, a gay man and
his straight cousin were attacked by a group of man at a gas
station near Richards Boulevard. Three men were charged with
robbery and assault with a hate crimes enhancement, and police
are seeking a fourth suspect who was caught on surveillance
video.

On May 27, two homeless transgender men were attacked by an

The Stonewall Democratic Club of Sacramento, Sacramento Gay &

our community to continue to remain alert, mindful of their
surroundings and aware of others' behavior.
