BEVERLY HILLS HILTON
9876 WILSHIRE BLVD (CORNER OF SANTA MONICA BLVD)
WED MAY 27TH
6PM - Meet to rally
7PM - Program begins
President Barack Obama, the most LGBT-friendly president in history, will be at the Beverly Hilton the evening of Wednesday, May 27th, for a DNC fundraiser. Let's take this opportunity, just one day after the CA Supreme Court makes its decision on Proposition 8, to show our President our support for his daring promise to our community and to highlight the growing movement towards FULL FEDERAL EQUALITY.
Join us at a rally at 6PM in front of the Beverly Hilton on Wednesday, May 27th.
At 7PM we will be joined by Lt. Dan Choi and other LGBT servicemen & women in opposition to Don't Ask Don't Tell. They will ask for response from President Obama to the letter signed by 136,000 people asking the president not to fire Lt. Choi by ending DADT.
Regardless of what decision comes down regarding Prop 8 it is time for us all to demand equality on all fronts for all people!

Rally For Full Federal Equality with Obama
Barack Obama is in town today. LGBT activists intend to make their displeasure at the lack of progress on LGBT equality at the federal level.
I hope to be there
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I feel like showing President Obama my support. He may not have room on his plate to support a single gay rights issue at this time, but considering how much taking he does, he at least could voice his support.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I have decided not to contribute to any Democrat until he does.
