its nice to see bands take a stand for what is right and fight the injustices that our diminishing society so deeply allows. the stench of discrimination and rascism is putrid, we are not moving ahead, we are movin backwards....its incredably horrifying to know that with each generation it will get worse.

OI POLLOI
"When Two Men Kiss"

When two men kiss
Walk hand in hand
The fear of what
You don't understand
Explodes into violence
Screams break the silence
"The guy was a poof"
"The guy was queer"
Dehumanised
And living in fear
No, you're not thick
And you say they're sick
But the only sickness
I can see
Is the cancer of
What kind of society do we live in where the simple act of showing love and affection towards another human being results in this kind of sickening murderous violence? Intolerance, bigotry and hate - I say it's time to stop.
From nazi boneheads to Bad Brains - Warped attitiudes that we must change and it's not just homofobia - Rampant sexism, macho dancing, beating of woman - All this is rife within the "scene" - often closer to home than we care to acknowledge. It's time to stop sweeping things under the carped - Confront the problems - And act.

Brian Deneke:
Brian Deneke was murdered
on December 12, 1997
-He was 19 years old-

Brian did not die because he deserved to. Brian did not die because he asked to. Brian died because he was different. He was a nonconformist. He was an Individualist. He was a free spirit. Brian was also a thoughtful and caring young man, a good son, a good friend. His life was full of promise. His murder deprived this community of someone who had already begun to make a difference to it and no doubt would have made an even greater difference in the future. Brian Deneke is gone. His death has left a divided city, a shocked city, a hurt city in its wake. It has also left us a memory of who Brian was and what he stood for. That memory can serve either a negative purpose or a positive one.

We want to let our memory of Brian and what he stood for serve a positive purpose. To that end, we have organized the Brian Deneke Memorial Committee. We believe that his memory, and this committee, can serve the following goals:

-To encourage tolerance, dialog, and civilized respect for different lifestyles and perspectives in this community

-To see that justice is done through the legal system

-To discourage violence and prevent acts of retaliation

-To actually support the victims of this crime

please show love and support so hate crimes like this can finally be stopped.
