well as organizing equality assemblies where
LGBT Latinos gave personal testimony on
discriminatory experiences. CAUSA has
also partnered with Basic Rights Oregon to
build support for the freedom to marry in
Oregon.
“We have a long-standing relationship
with LGBT organizations such as Basic
Rights Oregon and [the] Rural Organizing
Project, because it made sense strategically
and politically,” says Aeryca Steinbauer,
special projects coordinator for CAU
SA. “Immigrant and LGBT communities
have both faced attacks on our basic rights
at the ballot in Oregon, and we needed to
come together to protect our communities.”
The party will include live music by
Xavier y Su Banda Clasica, as well as jazz
and Broadway tunes from David Hastings.
Emcees are El Hispanic News publisher
Melanie Davis, and Star Empress 34 Fabu-
Lanzaa. Wine, beer, non-alcoholic beverages
and hors d’ouevres will also be served.
Steinbauer is positive that the event will
serve as a testament to CAUSA’s committed
work ethic, and the reinforcement of bridges
built with the LGBTQ_community.
“Even though we’ve taken action in sup
port of LGBT equality for years, we feel
this year was our ‘Coming O ut’year because
we started our work for LGBT equality in a
more integrated, public way,” says Stein
bauer. “The Coming Out Party will be a fun
