Artist and show organizer John Gascot says, “It’s exciting to be a part of change in motion. My partner and I have been together for over 15 years. We have 2 dogs and keep house just like any typical married couple. There is nothing indecent about that. Our partnership deserves the same protections under the law as anyone else’s.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The artists of Studio 4 believe that art is a vehicle for social change and are devoted to making our community a better place. They have committed to donating a portion of all proceeds raised via art sales to Fairfax Pride. An extraordinary evening that includes live entertainment is in the works for the exhibit’s mid-month “Pride Party” reception, taking place on Saturday, June 15, from 6 until 9 pm in building W-4. It is free and open to the public.<br/><br/>The exhibition will be on display for the entire month of June at the Workhouse Arts Center, Building Four, 9601 Ox Road, Lorton VA, 22079. Gallery Hours: Wed-Sat 11:00am-7:00pm and Sun 12:00pm-5:00pm.

Its primary purpose is to execute a yearly Pride Festival in Fairfax, promoting a positive image and enhanced visibility within Northern VA for the LGBT community. This organization also donates time to outreach efforts like serving the needy, anti-bullying campaigns, and especially the fight for equality.</p> <p><span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/fairfaxpride" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/fairfaxpride" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/fairfaxpride</a></a></span></p>http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/47646499989http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/47646499989Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:31:56 -0400LGBTPrideequalityGaycommunitysocial changesame sex marriageWashington DCVADMV<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/31515742df549d533d4ad603f87f9259/tumblr_mknfyqga3T1ql7edno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pink & yellow shorts, oh yes M’am! #SpringIsHere</p>http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/46969776127http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/46969776127Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:32:50 -0400fashionstylemenspring<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d87ce9943cf1f1d237152798ad6f1bcf/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5a34ecfbb747a30e56bb155c7f90385f/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d7da7778e87ab106ae895d7b874b1024/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/509ff7c968ccd88f2322adf0d57e04ed/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/498005408783a3f66f4848544c32ec67/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e9453d3b872a472c16c69c917ea8784b/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7f32a945bf596a1af444a349f9f120f7/tumblr_mkfutlqomi1qgngwxo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://unicornfromhell.tumblr.com/post/46617678259/happy-easter" target="_blank">unicornfromhell</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>happy easter </p> </blockquote>http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/46778019983http://latinpop.tumblr.com/post/46778019983Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:02:14 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/009e61c7c2a5b5e2b50ad7d416fbff32/tumblr_mh3la7iNx91ql7edno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Heart linocuts on vintage sheet music.
