EqualityYFFN combats conservative misinformation with new ad campaign
Your Family Friends and Neighbors is launching an ad campaign to help educate Idahoans about the realities of gay marriage. It's an important initiative designed to combat the fear tactics conservative legislators and religious leaders are using in Idaho and America today. Each design will feature real Idahoans discussing their family, faith, sexuality and comfort level with gay marriage.
The 'family' advertisement, (shown right), is the first of seven ads that YFFN will unveil in the coming months hoping to run them in every print newspaper in the state of Idaho. We've received starting funds from A Territory Resource and The Pride Foundation, but YFFN will be raising $30,000 for this effort in the summer and fall of 2004.

What Is At Stake In Election 2004?
Rather than concentrate on national security, the economy, and education in America - President Bush wants us to concentrate on writing discrimination into the U.S. Constitution. Idaho's Senators have broken promises and reversed statements given to YFFN and supported this effort. It's up to GLBT voters to send a message to their elected officials, that gay marriage should not be the litmus test of the 2004 election; it should be decided on real issues like fair taxation, the economy and improving the American Way for all people. |

Your Family Friends and Neighbors was founded in January of 1990 with the original purpose of putting on the now traditional Pride Parade and Rally. Over the years YFFN has expanded with other projects. In 1993, YFFN started the SpeakOUT! Idaho project to counter the ignorance and prejudice manifesting itself in an Anti-gay initiative. Over the years, YFFN has expanded to include the Youth Alliance for Diversity, Women's Night, Tri-States Transgender, Qtv, Anti-Violence and other projects. Thanks to our generous donors and dedicated volunteers, YFFN has continued to stand up for and provide services to the GLBT community in Boise and outlying areas. If you would like to contribute by becoming a key volunteer, a donating member, a board member, or even all three, please don't hesitate! YFFN exists thanks to the efforts of many concerned and committed people and will only continue if its ranks are replenished by people with fresh ideas, energy, and new vision. |
