S ets A pril M eeting
University Park United Methodist Church
will play host to a Pride event the Sunday
before Portland Pride and is interested
in hearing from businesses and
organizations that might want to
get involved.
North Portland has a large
sexual minority population
and is seeing a large number of
new queer folk moving to the
neighborhood. The church’s
council members want to do
everything they can to welcome
and encourage queers to come to
North Portland. They are hoping that
by playing host to the event at a church, they
can send a message to queers that faith commu
nities are also about them while sending a mes
sage to other faith communities that queers are
welcome, encouraged, included and sought after
by some communities of faith.
The event will take place from noon to
4 p.m. June 12 and will feature a barbecue and
music. The church is located at 4775 N. Lom
bard St. Darcy’s Restaurant & Bar across the
street will play host to some after-party specials,
as alcohol is not allowed on church property.
To get involved, contact Scott Jensen at
503-345-0160 or scott@scottjensen.net.

PFLAG will screen Jour
ney to a Hate Free Millenni
um, an award-winning
documentary by Brent
Scarpo
and
Martin
Bedogne that seeks solutions
to ending hate and the terrible
hate crimes that have become
frequent events in our daily lives.
The film addresses the subject of hate by
searching out the origins of how it is “taught and
learned” and rhe scope of its danger, from child
hood taunting to murder. Viewers are invited to
take a stand against hate and create their own
vision of a world free of hate, where senseless
acts of violence are a thing of the past.
