Two Community Forums on the Marriage Equality Fight
November 16th, 2008
Maybe, like me, you’ve spent the last several days marching for your damned rights in more than one city, and your feet are a little tired. Maybe you don’t want to end up like the one guy at 18th and Castro last night at 11:30 pm, hours after everyone else had gone home, banging a drum, chanting, and striding around the intersection hoping to get one more march on. Maybe you’re wondering what comes after the demonstrations. Well, this is the part where the real work begins.
Two Local Community Forums coming up this week:
“Prop 8 and Race: What’s Next (a community forum)”
“How can we build better bridges between the LGBT community and communities of color?
How can LGBT people of all races work with straight folks to better communicate our relationships?
What can we do as individuals to further unity in our community?
Join us for a panel discussion and community forum on this pressing topic.
Panelists include: Supervisor Bevan Dufty, Rev. Amos Brown, Third Baptist Church, Andrea Shorter, and Marriage for All

SF LBGT Community Center, 2nd Floor, 1800 Market at Octavio
7:00 – 9:00 pm
(flyer distributed by Stop Aids Project) “
AND
“Marriage Equality Town Hall“:
“As people have taken to the streets in response to the passage of Prop 8, we must seize this opportunity to bring our community together. Let’s heal together and constructively examine the Prop 8 campaign and determine where we go from here at a grassroots level in order to advance our marriage equality movement within California and nationwide.
Just imagine if we can convert the frustration exhibited with the passage of Prop 8 into a positive force to build support for marriage equality in California and to press our national leaders and President Elect Obama to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act.
Event is free and sponsored by: Marriage Equality USA, ACLU of Northern California, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and the Bayard Rustin Coalition
