Passion
Respect Knowledge Cooperation
Commitment to Change
Stonewall Speakers, a program of Connecticut Stonewall Foundation,
Inc., is a speaker's bureau comprised of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and their allies, who give their hearts,
time and travel expenses to help eliminate hate. Speaking engagements generally include two or more panelists
and combine personal life stories with a question and answer session. We speak to thousands of youth and
adults annually.
OUR HISTORY - The organization was founded in 1988 after the brutal murder of a Wethersfield
man, by two high school boys, because the man was gay. The needless loss of life motivated our founders
to create a program with the intention of reducing violence and bias against lesbians and gays. WHO WE'VE ADDRESSED - High Schools & Junior Highs,
Colleges & Universities, Teachers' Groups, Religious Groups, Police Departments, Medical Professionals, Mental Health
Professionals, Peer Counselors, Civic Groups and Radio
and Television Audiences
Mission Statement
The Connecticut
Stonewall Foundation, Inc. increases understanding, acceptance and respect for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people
through educational outreach.
