Goodbye Facebook. I really unlike you! (Learn why PromoHomo.TV® is no longer broadcasting on Facebook)

The NEXT episode will take viewers inside a GAY SEX CLUB, but you’ll only find that at www.YouTube.com/PromoHomoTVNetwork/Streams so like, subscribe, and use the “Notify Me” feature. Watch now to learn why this is the final live episode of PromoHomo.TV® you may ever see broadcast into Facebook.
Yes, you read that right. This is the last live episode of PromoHomo.TV ®programming that will be broadcast into to Facebook.
Like many of you, Producer/Host Nicholas Snow is fed up with the changes made by Meta to Facebook and the huge obstacles that exist within their environment for content creators. The platform simply wants our money, and they discount that we, all of us posting to Facebook, are the reason everyone goes there.
Snow has discovered that when he broadcasts episodes into his Facebook page, with over 8,500 likes and follows, the social media platform does NOT, for the most part, let ANYONE know the broadcast is happening. Then, when Snow shares the broadcast into up to 40 or 50 Facebook groups, even those group members do not see the post (and those who may be tired of seeing them).
So, in this “goodbye” episode, Snow let’s you know why and how he’s leaving, the extent to which he will still be engaged with Facebook, and he will let viewers know how to stay connected.
Quite simply, Snow is now producing his broadcasts for those people who really want them, support them, and seek them out.
For anyone who sees this and who may not watch the actual episode, if interested, please take these steps:

"Jury finds Trump must pay $83.8million to E. Jean Carroll" ...CNN.com

“Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least 25 women since the 1970s,” as recounted by Wikipedia, continuing, “On May 9, 2023, a New York jury in civil case found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against E. Jean Carroll…They awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.”
Today, January 26, 2024, as the world now knows, and as a CNN.com website echoes, “Jury finds Trump must pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll.” CNN.com continues, “A jury said that Donald Trump should pay $83.3 million in damages Friday, an eye-popping sum that marks the sharpest legal setback for a former president now entangled in multiple criminal and civil cases while he campaigns for the White House.”

Award recipients were celebrated at a ceremony on Monday, October 16, 2023, at the Hilton Palm Springs. The awards announcement marked the approach of Pride Week in the region under the theme of “Drag Now. Drag Forever!”
Each year, the awards recognize the tireless efforts individuals and an organization who have advanced the cause of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals, shaping a more inclusive world for all.

“The awards ceremony promises to be a night of inspiration and celebration, bringing together LGBTQ+ activists, allies, and supporters from all walks of life. Recipients embody the spirit of Pride, and their work has created positive change. We are proud to honor these champions of diversity, unity, and love,” added deHarte.
Spirit of Stonewall Lifetime Achievement Award – Donald Beck
At a time when healthcare and social service providers were slow in responding to the HIV epidemic, Donald was one of eight staunch supporters who took the bold first steps to establish an AIDS support and educational organization that would become known as the Desert AIDS Project. The vision Donald and the other founders had to create a place where people could find emotional support in a society that was essentially fearful of AIDS and scornful of those who had it continues today as DAP Health.
Spirit of Stonewall Organization of the Year – Brothers of the Desert
Established in 2017 by a group of Black gay men in response to shared feelings of isolation and disconnection, the Brothers of the Desert has thrived in their mission to nurture and support Black gay men and allies through education, advocacy, social networking, volunteerism, philanthropy, and mentorship.
Community engagement includes an annual Wellness Summit, Brothers Got Talent, a quarterly social event; publishing Drumbeat, a monthly newsletter; and hosting a speaker series. They also host events for Martin Luther King Day, Black History Month, and Juneteenth. They have also dedicated more than $10,000 to support four scholarship programs for Black and LGBTQ+ student success and created a member support fund, and a discussion group series for Black gay men over 50.
The 75-member organization includes Black men who identify as gay, queer, bisexual, or same-gender loving and allies of any race, gender, or sexual orientation who support or contribute to the well-being of Black gay men.
Spirit of Stonewall Community Service Award – Miss Patsi
Since the early 1980s, Miss Patsi, an illusion of Patsy Cline, was created by Thommy Kocan to raise funds for charity. Patsi has won multiple royalty titles within Gay Rodeo Circuits, and funds she raised supported rodeo events for the LGBTQ+ Communities.
Having retired, Patsi now invites hundreds of guests for dinner at various restaurants for Dinner with Patsi. By collecting “spare change” from attendees, Miss Patsi has raised $100,000 for local charities. This year, the official Cathedral City choir asked Miss Patsi to help lead the effort to raise funds needed to send the high school choir to Ireland. Patsi rallied the community and raised the $80,000 the choir needed.
Spirit of Stonewall Volunteer of the Year – Beverly Sweigart
As a teenager, lacking strong family relationships and raising herself, she learned even small acts of kindness could change a person’s life. Her passion has always been volunteering to help those in need. Beverly’s first charity fundraiser was in 1984 for the family of a gay friend who passed away from AIDS. She’s organized and hosted a variety of events, to raise funds for animal shelters, the homeless, senior centers, youth organizations, community theater, and muscular dystrophy, HIV/AIDS, and cancer-related organizations.
Even after Beverly was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, she never wavered from her quest to help others. For the last seven years she has supported local charities through her organization Palm Springs Crave. Beneficiaries include L-Fund, Well in The Desert, Palm Springs Sanctuary, Palm Springs Women’s Jazz Festival, HRC, DAP Health, and Palm Springs Pride.
Stonewall Spirit of Pride Award – Jase Nagaia
Jase Nagaia is a native Californian whose passion for fitness, dedication to serving the community, and inclusivity are helping to change the landscape of wellness in Palm Springs.
Jase, a recognized fitness instructor, saw the need for an inclusive fitness environment and created “Endeavor with Jase,” a unique and free low-impact cardio class. His experience overcoming hurdles in the fitness industry profoundly influenced the development of his classes. He created a haven where individuals from all walks of life could embark on their wellness journey without inhibitions and feel seen, heard, and valued.
As a person of color and a member of the LGBTQ community, he uses the wisdom of overcoming adversity to foster a fitness environment that empowers participants to focus without the hindrance of self-doubt or exclusion.
Spirit of Stonewall Friend of Pride – Greg and Dee Dee Barton
Greg Barton and Dee Dee Wilson Barton, co-founders of Barton, CPA, opened their Palm Springs accounting firm in 2007 to bring their expertise in registered domestic partnerships to the LGBTQ community and to serve clients across the United States.

An historic survey of mid-live and older (50+) LGBTQIA+ citizens is underway in California

At a time when so many states are attacking the LGBTQIA+ citizens who live within their borders, news of “Survey of LGBTQIA+ Older Adults in California: From Challenges to Resilience” is not only healing and restorative at its core, but also historic.
The Snowstorm is the new, live, nightly, interactive, online, hot topics panel discussion television show from Nicholas Snow, creator, producer and host of PromoHomo.TV®, the online television network.
Joining The Snowstorm is award-winning LGBTQIA+ community leader and advocate Jax Kelly, JD, MPH MBA, President of Let’s Kick ASS Palm Springs, an inclusive social group seeking to reduce the stresses of AIDS Survivor Syndrome. (Visit www.lkaps.org)
The California Department of Aging (CDA) is supporting research partners and a statewide coalition of LGBTQIA+ community-based organizations to design and launch California’s first statewide survey documenting the needs, hopes and priorities of mid-life and older LGBTQIA+ residents across the state.
ABOUT THE SURVEY:
Mid-life and older LGBTQIA+ Californians are part of a generation that faced extreme levels of stigma during their lifetimes as well as pride in a movement that asserted civil rights for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages. Despite the central role that LGBTQIA+ Californians play in California’s history and in communities across the state, no baseline data are available that describe their aging experiences. Some studies, such as a COVID-19 study of LGBTQIA+ older adults in San Francisco, suggest higher rates of isolation, depression and suicide ideation, all of which could be addressed with more responsive and accessible services. As CDA and others seek to learn more about the aging experience of all Californians in support of the California Master Plan on Aging (MPA) goals for equity and inclusion, it is crucial that the unique life experiences within LGBTQIA+ communities are visible and honored.
California’s survey of mid-life and older LGBTQIA+ residents will paint an up-to-date and comprehensive statewide portrait. To offer insights about the experiences of marginalized and underserved LGBTQIA+ communities, the survey team will oversample Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), Hispanic/Latinx, and Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities, as well as rural and frontier communities. The survey data will form a first-ever baseline data set, which will be available to other researchers in an open-source format to encourage additional research and policy attention to the needs of mid-life and older LGBTQIA+ Californians.

GLAAD is mad at Zuckerberg and Facebook (and rightfully so!)

GLAAD CALLS ON MARK ZUCKERBERG TO MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENT AFTER OVERSIGHT BOARD RULING IN FACEBOOK ANTI-TRANS HATE CONTENT CASE
Oversight Board overturns Meta’s original decision to leave up a Facebook post targeting transgender people with violent speech saying: “the company is not living up to the ideals it has articulated on LGBTQIA+ safety.”
GLAAD President and CEO calls on Mark Zuckerberg to make public statement against anti-trans hate and to publicly share plan of action for addressing “epidemic of anti-trans hate” on Meta platforms
GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization responded to a new ruling announced by the Oversight Board (the body that makes consequential precedent-setting content moderation decisions on the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram) in the important anti-transgender hate content case “Post in Polish Targeting Trans People” — full details on the ruling are here.
The Oversight Board overturned Meta’s original decision to leave up a Facebook post targeting transgender people with violent speech. The post, an egregious example of anti-trans hate advocating for transgender people to commit suicide, featured an image of a striped curtain in the blue, pink and white colors of the transgender flag with a text overlay in Polish saying: ‘New technology. Curtains that hang themselves.’
“I personally want to hear Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tell the world, today, that his company cares about the safety, rights, and dignity of transgender people,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “This dangerous hate on his platforms is causing devastating real-world harm and it must stop. As GLAAD, HRC and 250+ LGBTQ celebrities and allies vehemently urged Meta back in July 2023, the company must urgently create and share an action plan for addressing the epidemic of anti-trans hate that runs rampant across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads — in violation of their own policies.”
In its decision issued on Tuesday January 16th, the Oversight Board ruled that the post violated both the Hate Speech and Suicide and Self-Injury Community Standards of Meta. The Board ruling echoes and affirms GLAAD’s longstanding guidance to Meta. The ruling states that: “the fundamental issue in this case is not with the policies, but their enforcement. Meta’s repeated failure to take the correct enforcement action, despite multiple signals about the post’s harmful content, leads the Board to conclude the company is not living up to the ideals it has articulated on LGBTQIA+ safety. The Board urges Meta to close enforcement gaps, including by improving internal guidance to reviewers [content moderators].”
The July 2023 open letter to social media platforms from 250+ LGBTQ and ally celebrities and influencers — including Elliot Page, Laverne Cox, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, and Alyssa Milano — was facilitated by GLAAD and HRC, and demands that major social media companies, including Meta, create and publicly share a plan of action for steps they will be taking to stop the pervasive presence of anti-trans hate across their platforms, especially as such content violates their own hate speech policies. To date there has been no public response to the letter from any of the companies.
“This new Oversight Board ruling presents a vitally important opportunity for Meta,” Ellis continued. “The company must address this urgent and terrifying phenomenon of violent anti-trans hate content. The weaponization of lies targeting historically marginalized groups has a long and terrible history and the spread of such disgusting bigotry should be vehemently and immediately denounced by Meta as not in alignment with their company values.”
Jenni Olson, Senior Director of GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Program said of the ruling: “This is a powerful ruling from the Oversight Board that calls upon Meta to address failures we have been articulating for many years in the annual GLAAD Social Media Safety Index. Meta must urgently improve development and enforcement of their policies to better serve the safety, privacy, and expression of all of their users across all of their platforms.”
GLAAD’s September 2023 Public Comment to the Oversight Board for their adjudication of the case noted that: “Meta’s content moderators should have accurately enforced its policies in the first place. It is a serious problem that the post was only removed after the Oversight Board alerted Meta. This case powerfully illuminates highly consequential systemic failures with the company’s moderation practices that have broad implications for all anti-LGBTQ hate content, as well as for content that targets all historically marginalized groups. Such moderation may be more complex than recognizing basic slurs, but this is why the company must provide adequate training and guidance to its moderators on recognizing anti-trans hate. Meta is fully capable of implementing such training yet continues to fail to prioritize it, resulting in epidemic levels of anti-LGBTQ hate across its platforms.” Read GLAAD’s full public comment here.
One of the most glaring aspects of the case is that in response to multiple requests from users, Facebook’s human content moderators had repeatedly determined that the anti-trans content was not in violation of their policies. It was only after the Oversight Board told Meta that they had chosen the case for review, that Meta finally removed the post. Meta’s hate speech policy prohibits content that targets people on the basis of protected characteristics, including sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Board took public comments on the case through September 2023 before adjudicating and issuing this recommendation. While Oversight Board recommendations are not binding, Meta must respond to them within 60 days.
As highlighted in GLAAD’s 2023 Social Media Safety Index (SMSI) report, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram are largely failing to mitigate dangerous anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ hate and disinformation, despite such content conflicting with their own policies. The June 2023 SMSI also made the specific recommendation to Meta and others that they better train moderators on the needs of LGBTQ users, and enforce policies around anti-LGBTQ content across all languages, cultural contexts, and regions.

MLK Day festivities focused on justice for Section 14 survivors

Multiple organizations and individuals from throughout Southern California (and perhaps further) gathered in Palm Springs, California, January 15, 2024 (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s actual birthday) for MLK Day honoring the the Life, Work and Legacy of the civil rights icon.
The focus of the day was centered on achieving just for survivors and ancestors of Section 14.
PromoHomo.TV® Producer/Host Nicholas Snow captured the bulk of the days activities in two Facebook live broadcast, including the rally earlier in the day at Frances Stevens Park, and the interfaith service at the United Methodist Church (participants particpated in a one-mile walk between the two, symbolic of marches in Selma, Alabama.” Both live broadcasts are included in this comprehensive episode of The Snowstorm, which may very well be the single most historic capturing of the inspirational day.
All sponsors and speakers are identified and acknowledged in the broadcast. Everyone was called to sign the petition at www.knowbeforeyougopalmsprings.comwhich states:
As efforts to unearth the truth and seek reparative justice have gained traction in America, exhaustive research has placed Palm Springs squarely in the pantheon of the country’s history of racially terrorizing African Americans by taking property and destroying political power.
Join us in demanding that Palm Springs recognize its true history and fulfill its commitment to make the Survivors and Descendants of Section 14 whole again. Sign the petition today. The website continues:
“In July 1966, the California State Attorney General’s Office initiated a criminal investigation into the actions of Palm Springs officials in the use of force and terror to drive Black and brown residents of Section 14 out of their homes and community. The subsequent 1968 report concluded that Palm Springs officials had burned and bulldozed the homes and property of thousands of Black and brown people in the 1950s and 1960s in a “city-engineered holocaust.”
Nearly 60 years passed before the City of Palm Springs conducted its own investigation. The City’s Human Rights Commission issued a jaw-dropping 400-page report of its findings and recommendations on April 28, 2021. Written by Ron deHarte (then chair of the Human Rights Commission and now an elected member of the city council), the report is the first time the City’s actions were uncovered in their entirety.”

Ban on Trans Youth Healthcare in South Carolina Advances

Earlier this week (January 9th), SC United for Justice & Equality alerted a media with news of the passage through subcommittee of H.4624, the ban on medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth. The organization reports, “There was some inspiring and powerful testimony against the bill. Fifty people testived and all but one supported the bill.” A rally at the SC Statehouse was planned for the next day. Representatives from the organization have been invited to appear on a future edition of The Snowstorm.
KEY PARTS OF THE MEDIA ADVISORY:
The South Carolina House Medical and Health Affairs Subcommittee voted to advance H.4624 favorably to the full Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee. The bill would ban medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth under the age of 18 in South Carolina, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery. Further, it prevents public funds from being used to cover the cost of transition-related healthcare for youth and adults. A surge of anti-transgender legislation like this has passed all over the country in the past two years; until 2021, no state had laws that banned transgender youth from accessing this healthcare.
The vote on H.4624 came after 50 people testified on the bill – 49 people from all across South Carolina spoke against the bill, and only 1 person, representing the far-right group Alliance Defending Freedom (which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center), testified in favor.
The subcommittee did vote in favor of two amendments that mitigate a small fraction of the damage of the bill. One amendment removes language prohibiting providers from “aiding and abetting” youth in accessing gender-affirming care and clarifies that the bill should not be construed to blockade any affirming mental health care (the original bill as written was so broad that it could be read as a way to block even talk therapy). Another amendment removes a clause requiring teachers and school staff to notify parents if they suspect a student of being transgender.
Jace Woodrum, a leader in the SC United for Justice & Equality coalition who also serves as Executive Director of the ACLU of South Carolina, was one of the people who testified today. He said in response to the vote:
“I am so grateful for every transgender person and ally to transgender people who came out today to speak against this shameful and dangerous legislation. We heard from parents concerned about the health and safety of their children, a sister who saw the joy and independence that gender-affirming care brought to her brother, medical providers who know the science, and community members who spoke powerfully about their experiences as transgender South Carolinians. It is heart-breaking that even after such powerful testimony, lawmakers still voted to advance such a divisive bill that cruelly targets children.”
“Let’s be clear: Extreme lawmakers are moving so quickly with this discriminatory bill because they want us to be complacent, stay quiet, and think this fight is hopeless. But together, we will be there every step of the way to speak out and force them to look us in the eye while they harm our community. We will never stop sending a message of love, support, and solidarity to transgender young people in South Carolina.”
Advocates from the SC United for Justice & Equality coalition are available to speak with media about the legislation and its damaging impact on transgender youth.
SC United for Justice and Equality envisions a South Carolina where everyone can thrive, with a focus on the lived and legal equality of LGBTQ people. The coalition advocates for the passage of legislation to protect LGBTQ community members and opposes anti-LGBTQ legislation. The coalition also works on intersecting issues of social justice, including racial justice, reproductive justice, voting rights, and health care access. www.southcarolinaunited.org
