1000 Homosexuals at Days Without Sunshine: Anita Bryants Anti-Gay Crusade
Friday, February 29, 2008 [7 pm 10 pm]
Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, 2000 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach
Free and open to the public
For more information, call 786.399.7375.
Camposition, the non-profit multidisciplinary collaborative known to push the boundaries between contemporary performance and activism, launches a campaign to recruit 1000 homosexuals to play a role in an important and historic new production by Michael Yawney. 1000 Homosexuals, commissioned by the Adrienne Arsht Center and produced by the Center in partnership with Camposition, premieres at the Arsht Centers Carnival Studio Theater in November 2008. Yawney's play tells the story of Anita Bryant's 1977 crusade against gay civil rights.
Camposition launches the 1000 Homosexuals campaign and website, http://www.1000homosexuals.com/ on Friday, February 29, 2008, 7 pm 10 pm, during the opening reception of the Stonewall Library & Archives exhibition, Days Without Sunshine: Anita Bryants Anti-Gay Crusade at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens located at 1000 Convention Center Drive in Miami Beach.
1,000 Homosexuals is a documentary/fantasy/comedy presenting Anita just the way she would want: as a musical Joan of Arc battling a powerful and perverse gay mafia. Due to Anitas concern for her family, she resists taking a stand against a county-wide gay rights ordinance. After she heeds Gods call to take heroic action, Anita pays a heavy price for her stand. The piece bends documentary sources such as government records, newspaper stories and underground gay manifestos into a twisted carnival of 70s-style sex and faith. 1000 Homosexuals raises questions about morality, politics and religion while recounting how one womans attempt to be relevant shaped popular perceptions of gays and lesbians.
The plays premiere this November is timely, immediately following the referendum to amend the Florida State Constitution to define marriage as one man and one woman and do away with civil unions and domestic partnerships. Camposition invites the community to take part in history by becoming one of 1000 homosexuals. Anyone making a minimum $50 tax-deductible contribution will be designated as one of the official 1000 Homosexuals. Supporters do not necessarily need to identify as GLBT; heterosexuals welcome. 1000 Homosexuals will premiere at the Arsht Center in November 2008 and will continue to educate audiences throughout the US and abroad about GLBT history and current issues.
Throughout the campaign, Camposition will participate in and host a series of events where individuals can enlist as a homosexual. The official launch of the campaign and website will take place during the opening reception of the Stonewall Library & Archives exhibition, Days Without Sunshine: Anita Bryants Anti-Gay Crusade at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens located at 1000 Convention Center Drive in Miami Beach on Friday, February 29, 2008, 7 pm 10 pm. For additional information about the launch or how to become a homosexual, please contact 1000 Homosexuals Campaign Manager, Susan Caraballo at manager@1000homosexuals.com or visit http://www.1000homosexuals.com/.
Camposition's programs are supported by Dade Community Foundation and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Board of County Commissioners. 1000 Homosexuals has been commissioned by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and endorsed, thus far, by the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and Stonewall Library & Archives.

Grant Funding Announcement
From The Children's Trust:
Topic:
Match Funding Policy
Type:
NOFA
Release Date:
2/20/2008 5:40:00 PM
Submission Deadline:
OPEN
Schedule:
Proposal Description:
Match refers to a contribution of direct fiscal investments among multiple parties. This component has been established as an incentive for agencies to apply for dollars from other sources that require an applicant to obtain a match (typically a specified percentage of the grant award) from local sources. Written documentation of the match requirement of the other funding source is required as part of the application. Match funds are only to be utilized to bring new or expanded resources to the community, and will not be used to supplant existing or current match funding or to assume the responsibilities of other public entities. “In-kind” match arrangements, while certainly not discouraged, will not be considered as a fundable match under this policy. Match proposals may be made to The Children’s Trust either during the initial funding proposal submission process to the other funder, or after the availability of match funds has been confirmed by the other funder. Awards from The Trust Match Fund will not be granted until confirmation of award from the primary funder, and will be limited to the percent of match required by that funding source. Written documentation confirming award from the other funding source and acknowledging The Trust as the local match funder will be required with the contract. Some of the match characteristics considered in evaluating proposals include the following:
Does match arrangement bring in NEW funds to the County (i.e., not simply replace an existing match or match local dollars that would be in the community regardless)?
Ongoing match availability; one-time only match opportunity versus ongoing resources, with priority toward recurring, sustainable funds
Degree to which the match program has had a significant impact in other communities
Development of potential revenue maximization opportunities (e.g., Medicaid targeted case management, EPSDT, IV-E, TANF, UPL) through offering resources to build capacity and meet the requirements needed to access these resources.

The goals of these programs are to enhance parent-child relationships and strengthen families.

In addition, efforts that focus on increasing youth involvement in advocacy on behalf of children’s issues are included in this area.
Addressing health and safety aspects for all areas: Recognizing the integral importance of child health and safety to child development throughout the lifespan, The Children’s Trust seeks to fund prevention programs relevant to children and youth that may include aspects of health education and prevention/wellness.
