OkEq In-Person Focus Group: Voting Bylaws Change Proposal
Monday, April 5, 6:00 p.m.
Dennis R. Neill Equality Center
621 E. 4th St., Pride Street
Tulsa, OK 74120
You are invited to an In-Person meeting to provide needed and necessary membership feedback regarding a proposed amendment to the OkEq bylaws regarding how the organization currently elects the OkEq Board of Directors. You must be a member in good standing with your $50 membership fee current. This is an OKEQ membership meeting only.
Presently, OkEq bylaws require that the Board of Directors be elected by popular vote of its members in good standing. OkEq is seeking to implement current best practices for an LGBTQ+ community organization of its size, based on feedback from national and local LGBTQ+ leadership organizations, with guidance from Oklahoma nonprofits and other local leaders and fundraising organizations, and move the OkEq Board of Directors to a succession board. This would mean that the OkEq Board of Directors would, annually, with the advice and recommendations from our constituency, self-nominate the successor Directors to fulfill all the terms and conditions of a Director for the organization.
This is a major change in organizational policy, and OkEq needs membership feedback before voting on this issue. Please join us and make your voice heard. You must be a member in good standing with your $50 membership fee current.
You may also join this meeting remotely by Zoom. You must be a member in good standing with your $50 membership fee current.
You must RSVP to get a zoom link to participate. Please RSVP by contacting us below by Monday, April 5th by 3:00 p.m. to register and receive the Zoom link.

Josh New “Confronting the Male Nude:
A Figure Study of the Male Form."
Artist Reception On Thursday, April 8, at 6:00 p.m.
Dennis R. Neill Equality Center
621 E. 4th St., Pride Street
Tulsa, OK 74120
Josh New is a commercial freelance photographer from Oklahoma specializing in portraiture and conceptual art. He received his MFA in Photography from the University of Tulsa in 2011, focusing on a thesis critically exploring modern American masculinity in both gay and straight cultures. He continues to create work showcasing the male form in hopes that one-day nudity, both male and female, will cease to be feared and brutally censored.
This show is a celebration of male beauty and figure photography that is currently banned from most social media platforms because it goes against “community standards.” Even when not sexualized, the human body continues to be censored and excluded from discussion in modern American society. My hope is to present beautiful, emotional, and thought-provoking work and show that these “community standards” are actually an archaic barrier to healthy reflection and comfort with our own bodies. The show will feature giant prints of male nudes that I hope viewers will feel comfortable looking at, analyzing, and discussing in the hopes that confronting the fears and misconceptions of nude figure photography, particularly of the male body, can foster a change into what our community accepts.
The show opens Thursday, April 1st, at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center located at 621 E. 4th Street Tulsa, OK 74120. On Thursday, April 8th, there will be a special artist reception with Josh New, and Covid measures will be in place. The show continues throughout the month.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), LGBTQ+ people experience sexual violence at higher rates than straight and cisgender people.
Research suggests half of transgender people and bisexual/pansexual women will experience sexual violence at some point in their lifetimes. Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes can often take the form of sexual violence. Transgender women of color are the most vulnerable. LGBTQ+ individuals are less likely to report sexual assault than straight and cisgender individuals.
Oklahomans for Equality wishes to open a dialog between the LGBTQ+ community and the agencies that support victims, investigate sex crimes, and prosecute offenders. Please join us on Tuesday, April 13th at 7 pm on Facebook Live to talk about sexual assault and the impact on the LGBTQ+ community. Oklahomans for Equality supports and believes survivors. If you or someone you know is dealing with the aftermath of sexual violence, GET HELP NOW at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
