Court Says No Hate Crime
Police said he was joined by another man
in making anti-gay slurs at two men hold-
ing hands in downtown Portland in March.
Martinson has insisted he is not anti-gay
and has gay friends, one of whom appeared
on local television news defending Martin-
son. The other man involved in the case has
never been found.

PNW Launches Campaign
THANK you
ReAdeRS!
victoria mayhue,
profiled in Just out's
July 2012 edition
(A daughter's
love), received a
phone call after
a reader learned
of her impending
homelessness. The
recently "out" reader
has offered mayhue
a place to live.
Another reader sent
gift certificates for
mayhue's dog food
needs (she has two
pooches)
Pride Northwest has launched an online donor campaign designed to
support a variety of programs, including the annual Portland Pride Fes-
tival and Parade and ongoing community safety efforts.
The “$5 Web Drive” is Pride Northwest’s first online giving campaign
and is designed to allow everyone in the community to contribute “as
much as they can in these tough economic times,” according to Cory
Murphy, Pride Northwest’s Festival Coordinator.
In addition to the Portland Pride Festival and Parade — one of the larg-
est such celebrations on the west coast, bringing thousands of visitors
to Portland each year — Pride Northwest continues to innovate and
develop ways to support and celebrate the Pacific Northwest’s LGBTQ
community and its allies. The goal is to raise $5,000 by September 15th.
