Dear friend,

On Monday, October 12th, the Greenbrier Valley Theatre in Lewisburg will join with more than 100 theatres around the world in a reading of The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, an epilogue to the powerful play about the murder of Matthew Shepard. The tickets are free - but reservations are required. Call the box office today at 304-645-3838. There is a reception at 6 p.m. sponsored by Fairness WV followed by a reading of the show at 7:30.

Matthew Shepard should not have died on that fence in Wyoming. Being gay should not be an invitation to harassment, discrimination, and violence. We founded Fairness WV to change the hearts of minds of West Virginians and to make the state a better place for LGBT people. To do that, though, we need your help.

Please consider making a donation to Fairness WV today.

We need your help to put the pressure on lawmakers in Charleston and in Washington, D.C. to push for hate crimes legislation, laws banning employment discrimination, and much more. With your help, we can achieve our goals.

Please considering donating to Fairness WV today. With your help, we can honor Matthew Shepard's legacy and create a state that treats all its citizens with fairness and respect.

I hope to see you in Lewisburg on Monday, October 12th for the Laramie Project.

Please join me at the reception before the show for an open discussion on issues affecting the LGBT community in WV. Your thoughts, ideas, participation, and donations are all essentail parts of moving West Virginia forward as a state that respects the value of all of her citizens.

Best,
Coy Flowers
Board of Directors
Fairness West Virginia
