This year's Brighton Equality Walk, on 1st May 2011, in aid of Stonewall promises to be bigger and better than ever. A 10k walk supporting equality at home, at school and at work. For more than 20 years Stonewall has worked for equality for lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Britain at home, at school and at work, winning an equal age of consent and repealing Section 28 as well as securing Civil Partnership. Stonewall's current major campaigns include challenging homophobia in schools and colleges and underachievement by lesbian, gay and bisexual pupils; promoting fair treatment of lesbian gay and bisexual people at work; and putting equality into practice by promoting fair treatment of Britain's 3.6 million lesbian gay in the public domain. Stonewall is working to make sure that every lesbian, gay and bisexual person has the opportunity to fulfil their potential, to live without regret and love without fear. Donations can be made up to 1st August 2011.

The mission of the San Francisco LGBT Community Center is 'to provide space and programs that welcome the LGBT community and its allies; unite the San Francisco LGBT community across lines of age, race, gender and economics; give visibility to the history, culture, and diversity of our LGBT community; organize and plan the political and cultural future for our LGBT community; and nurture new organizations and programs to meet emerging community needs'. The Center's critical safety net programs serve the most vulnerable members of the community -- people of color, transgender, lesbian, and bisexual women, differently-abled people, youth, elders, immigrants, and low-income individuals -- who often experience additional, intersecting forms of discrimination. Their shared goal is to ensure that no one in the LGBT community is left behind on the road to equality.
