For Anthony Collao:
A Vigil to Remember and End Violence
Hosted by Family, Friends and Community Allies
THURSDAY, MARCH 24TH 2011 FROM 7-9PM
At 88-20 90th Street (between Jamaica and 88th Avenues)
In Woodhaven, Queens (J/Z to Woodhaven Blvd.)
Anthony Collao died on Monday, March 14th due to an alleged anti-gay attack. Collao was at a party given by two openly-gay individuals, but did not identify as gay.
His death reminds us that homophobia affects everyone, not just those in LGBTQH (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and HIV-affected) communities.
This Thursday, March 24th, Anthony's family, friends and community allies will honor his memory. We stand in solidarity with all affected by hate, and also know that we must shift the culture that creates this.
Join us as we keep Anthony in our hearts and move forward to end Violence.
