Join CWT4R next Wednesday October 2nd as we talk with activist Lisa Gilmore and DiVine Gardley (survivor) about Domestic Violence in the LGBTQ Community and hear what effect it has on a child from Divine who is an alley. Listen in and hear her story. If you have a story you would like to share please inbox us. On March 7th 2013, President Obama signed into law the re-authorized Violence against Women Act that provides for more services for victims of Domestic Violence. This law will give agencies the ability to apply for grants and obtain money to help educate about the prevention of sexual abuse and have the ability to care for Domestic Violence victims. Rape victims also had a victory because now the testing for DAN should be shorter providing for a quicker resolution to finding rapist that are in the system quicker, helping to get them off the street. The reauthorized VWA also includes greater support for LGBTQ victims, immigrants and Native American women who have been traditionally undeserved. Talk to u

Femme is a term used by many feminine-identified queer people from diverse and equally valuable backgrounds including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other queer folks. Femmes are fierce and use their voices to make themselves visible. Nevertheless, as femme women, they are often invisible to other queer people. They are often seen as heteronormative, apolitical, less radical and less queer in a community where being visible depends on being masculine or androgynous. This femmephobia in queer communities – this devaluation and stigmatization of queer femininity – is a form of misogyny that is rooted in dominant patriarchal culture   Keisha Watkins and Nkenge Jazz Burkhead are the co-founders of SMEARED LIPSTICK. The group is for lesbians of color who identify as femme (lipstick)! Their goal is to increase visibility and sisterhood within the femme community. Femme and Proud – we want to hear from you! How do you express your femme power in a patriarchal world? Do you feel invisible, disempowered? I

"MARRIAGE...Who Comes First Your Spouse Family Or Church" is a heated but necessary discussion. Too many marriages are falling apart because our priorities are not in place. People will take their bill money and give to their family and church. People will miss out on birthday celebrations, anniversaries and other family functions all in the name of attending a church function. Many have put the needs of their family before their spouse and household needs. Others will sacrifice their time to take care of someone and their spouse or child is sick and need attention. Do we really understand our role in marriage? Could it be our lack of concern or appreciation is driving our spouse to the arms of others? Thursday night at 7:30 lets gain clarity understanding in a direct and open environment. Call 347-215-8985 press 1 to speak and your area code and last 4 digits of your number will be called.

Just because you have sex doesn't automatically mean you are in a relationship. There are to many people involving themselves in sexual relationships when there true heart desire is a committed relationship and ultimately marriage.Everyone can't handle just having sex. In most cases men and women are stating upfront they are just "kicking it" or "they are not ready". However, many feel having sex will change their mind.

At what point does the relationship begin?Thursday night @ 7:30 call 347-215-8985 join this discussion press 1 and your area code and last 4 of your number will be called.
