Gay Talk Radio and Queer Public Radio announce Pledge Drive Week

Starting Monday May 17, 2010 Gay Talk Radio and our sister site Queer Public Radio will be asking for your help. Our pledge drive will start around 10 AM PT/1 PM ET and last approximately 4 to 6 hours Monday through Friday.Pledge Drive

Since November 2, 2008 Gay Talk Radio has strived to inform, entertain, empower and make a difference in our community. We are proud to announce we have achieved all of these goals. Of course we have no way of knowing all the lives we have affected. But we do know of several we have affected in very positive ways.

During pledge week you will hear some of these stories. You will hear the actual phone calls. Phone calls that made a difference for that person. In fact, sometimes it had nothing to do with the phone call. Sometimes it was the simple fact that Gay Talk Radio does exist. That there was someone talking about gay issues on an internet radio station specifically devoted to that purpose.

Imagine being a young gay man, feeling alone and isolated in the world. After you tell you parents you’re gay, they throw you out of the house. You go to your priest. The priest finds you a place to stay and tells you about Gay Talk Radio. You don’t believe there is such a thing and when you find out there is, it is an epiphany. A epiphany which saves your life!

That is a true story and you will hear about it this week during our pledge drive. These are serious times and this is a very important week for Gay Talk Radio. One which quite possibly may be the deciding factor to Gay Talk Radio’s continued existence.

We know we have done so much good and wish to continue doing so. Unfortunately that won’t be possible without your help. The bad economy has hit us very hard and while we will fight tooth and nail, good intentions won’t pay the bills.

So we are asking for your help during or pledge week.
