Saturday, June 28th, 2008 in the Friends Room at the Columbia Public Library:
Two workshops with Dr. Robert Minor.

“New Strategies for Combating Homophobia During Difficult Times” (from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.)
Lunch will be provided by the Columbia Chapter of PFLAG.
These workshops and lunch are FREE, thanks to a generous grant from the City of Columbia Human Rights Commission and support from The Mid-Missouri LGBT Coalition and PFLAG-Mid-Missouri - Columbia. Dr. Minor's books will be available thanks to Peace Works
Dr Robert Minor is a religious studies professor at KU, author, and founder of The Fairness Project.
The Fairness Project founded in 2001, grew out of over ten years of workshops Dr. Minor has led for religious, civic, business, and community
groups regionally and nationwide.
"Bob" leads workshops on gender roles, homophobia, and racism for universities, colleges, churches, businesses, government organizations, and community and religious groups throughout the US as well as workshops for non-heterosexuals on personal growth beyond "coming out" and how to be a healthy activist.
He is a regular conference presenter for the NGLTF's "Creating Change " Conference, and for PFLAG, locally, regionally, and nationally. He worked closely with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation in its Kansas City "Communities of Faith" projects. In 1999 GLAAD awarded him its Leadership Award for Education.
His first popularly written book, Scared Straight: Why It's So Hard to Accept Gay People and Why It's So Hard to Be Human which received laudatory reviews around the country since and has been a finalist for a number of literary awards.
The mission of The Fairness Project is simple and multi-faceted: to promote fair and positive understanding of all human beings regardless of sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, nationality, race, ethnicity, age, or abilities, by educating and advocating for fundamental structural change and personal healing. We are convinced that all issues of fairness are related, that all oppressions are connected, and that all discrimination must end so that every human being can live and flourish as a full human being.
