NORTH CAROLINA politically-motivated stunt. The people of Thomasville want the Council to focus on real issues in their commu nity, like growth, roads and taxes, not red-her ring issues outside the Council’s jurisdiction.” ENC and its allies have been successful in blocking an anti-LGBT, anti-marriage consti tutional amendment in the last three legisla tive sessions. A similar amendment is expect ed to be introduced when the legislature con venes in January. Archive seeks local LGBT material DURHAM — The Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History & Culture at Duke University continually collects, among other things, items related to LGBT life in the Triangle. Current holdings include the records of the Common Woman Chorus, NC Lesbian and Gay Health Project and Feminary and the papers of individuals such as Mab Segrest and Catherine Nicholson. The Center needs help to document local LGBT culture as thoroughly as possible. Check basements, attics, files and garages — any where one might have stored archival material — and consider donating these items to the archives. To donate items, contact Laura Micham, director of the Bingham Center, at 919-660- 5828 or email at laura.m@duke.edu. For more information, visit scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/women. LGBT youth workshop slated WINSTON-SALEM — Parents, Friends, and Family of Lesbians and Gays, Family Services of Forsyth County and Project Rainbow Net of the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence will sponsor a one- day community event on Nov. 4,1-5 p.m. The event is dedicated to supporting LGBT youth in creating and maintaining healthy relationships Two training and discussion forums will take place — one designed to support LGBT youth in identifying and creating healthy dat ing relationships and a second designed to equip adult allies to offer support and resources to LGBT youth. The training and •discussion forums will be followed with free pizza and entertainment. “LGBT youth often go without the privilege of seeing healthy dating relationships in our pop culture or in the world around us. This event will provide a time for LGBT young peo ple to come together and talk about the joys and struggles that come with creating safe and loving relationships and for adults to learn about how to support youth in their relation ships,” says April Burgess-Johnson, coordinat ed community response specialist for the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence. This event is being made possible through the generous support of the Adam Foundation and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. The event is free, but pre-registration is required.
