Gay and Lesbian Mormons to Hold Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Suicide during National Suicide Prevention Week

URL: www.affirmation.orgLake Oswego OR - On September 7th, 2005, from 6 to 8 PM in front of the Mormon temple in Lake Oswego, a candlelight vigil will be held in memory of those we have lost to suicide when they could not reconcile the messages from their religious communities with their sexuality. Entitled "No More Deaths! No More Silence!", the event will focus on the harmful effects on sexual minorities when powerful forces within a culture send damaging messages by their actions and words. The vigil will highlight the value of love and education to overcome the resulting problems and strengthen the families affected.
This event is open to all families of every faith. It is being sponsored by Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons, with Community of Welcoming Congregations, Love Makes a Family, Oregon Safe Schools and Communities Coalition, and The GLBT Concerns and the Church Committee of the United Church of Christ (Central Pacific Conference).
In March 2000, while leaders of the LDS Church were engaged in a costly anti-gay crusade in California, four gay Mormons killed themselves within four weeks. For members of Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons, this was a horrific wake-up call. Since 1965, more than 35 gay Mormons have committed suicide as confirmed by public records. (Because suicide is such a taboo subject and often a source of shame for victims’ families, death by suicide is difficult to confirm - the actual number is probably much higher). We have organized memorial services and candlelight vigils to remember our dead and raise awareness about this health crisis in our midst. We do this in the hope of helping prevent more suicides.
