Flint Hills Human Rights Project works to build Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer (LGBTQ) inclusive communities in a service area including Riley, Geary, Clay, Washington, western Pottawatomie, Marshall, Morris, and western Wabaunsee Counties. We work to ensure that no one is discriminated against based on sexual orientation or gender identity/expression at work, in housing, or in public accommodations in any community in our region. We work to ensure that sexual orientation and gender identity and expression become part of the non-discrimination clauses of local city and county governments.

FHHRP has joint educational programs with Flint Hills PFLAG at 7 p.m. on the third Tuesday of most month at First Congregational Church in Manhattan.

LGBT Film Festival.

Movies will start at 5 PM on each night. We will follow each with a cookout at 7 PM. If you can't make the movie, you are welcome to join us for dinner or vice versa.

PLEASE RSVP by e-mail to stevemull@aol.com for the location of the showings! The showings are free, but we will pass the hat to cover costs.

The June, 2008 Gay Film Festival Movies are:

Sunday, June 8, 2008- STONEWALL

It's the spring of 1969. A handsome, gay young man named Matty moves to New York City for the freedom he cannot find in his small town. But even in 1969 freedom is relative. It is illegal to serve alcohol to gays. Gay bars are regularly raided by the police and all the patrons are arrested.

Sunday, June 15, 2008 - SMALL TOWN GAY BARS

This documentary is about the community that forms around the gay bars in rural Mississippi.
