The Kroger Rewards Program allows Kroger shoppers to donate money to EqualityToledo just by swiping their Kroger card each time they shop.

EqualityToledo, Rainbow Area Youth (RAY) and AIDS Resource Center Ohio have teamed up and want to help you!Did you know... • 9 out of 10 students hear homophobic remarks regularly in their schools? • Nearly two out of three students feel unsafe in schools because of their sexual orientation, and one out of three feel unsafe because of their gender expression? • Schools with GSAs reported less homophobic remarks, and less victimization related to sexual orientation and/or gender identity (GLSEN, 2010) Gay Straight Alliances are student-initiated and student-run clubs in public and private schools. GSAs seek to provide safe and affirming environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and ally youth to meet and discuss sexual orientation and gender identity issues. For more information on starting a GSA, contact Gay Straight Alliance Toledo at 419-241-9444 ext 406. |

elder population and train providers working with our elders to be fair
and competent.According
to Outing Age 2010:
•
Four
out of five LGBT elders
say they don't trust the
healthcare system.
•
Fifty
percent of nursing
home workers said their
fellow workers would be
intolerant
of LGBT people.
•
Fifty
percent of LGBT elders
live alone, compared to
33% of the general
population.
