They should be so lucky.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Should be able to attend the meeting next Tuesday.

Ok, I'm going to next Tuesday's meeting.


They need straight women, so it's a good thing EH1812 will be there. Now, we just need some people of color, hopefully some straight Latino men or something like that.

Why, are you trying to recreate the Village People?

Awesome, Tuesday is my normal "program" meeting, but I will bugger out on it next week so that I can do the marriage meeting. There is also a June 29 Pool Party fundraiser if any LoT folks would like to attend.



FYI for other folks who want to get involved, there are other activities/groups that are doing things like phonebanking and stuff -- here's a forward of an email I got:

Members of Love Honor Cherish –



Here are some things you can do between meetings:



TONIGHT – Thursday, June 12 – there is a Town Hall meeting on gay marriage at the Gay & Lesbian Center (Village, 1125 McCadden, just north of Santa Monica Blvd). All of the movement people will be attending.



EVERY THURSDAY – there is Voter ID phone banking in Silverlake, by Equality for All (calling people and asking them if they support us.) Time: 630 to 915pm. Email Hannah at hannah@eqca.org in advance and tell her your FULL NAME, PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL, and the date you want to phone bank. They will respond to confirm.



SUNDAY, JUNE 29 – the film Mike Roth and I made about same-sex marriage in Massachusetts will be shown for FREE at All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena. Reception 5:30, Screening at 6:30, panel discussion to follow (which I am on!) It’s a great motivator and this is a rare chance to see it (no, it’s not on DVD).

Meeting details?

It's a hike from the OC, so I'm not sure if I can make it.

Another email:

As part of our fight against California’s anti-marriage constitutional amendment, LHC is looking for singles and couples (gay, lesbian, and straight) to appear in a series of Public Service Announcements. These will be posted to the lovehonorcherish.org website, Youtube, FaceBook and MyspaceTV.com. We welcome all ages, ethnicities, races, etc.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in voicing your opinion (in your own words) on this very important issue, please contact Andrew Klayman (arklayman@yahoo.com) or Ted Williams (cmgsoon@hotmail.com) for further details.

We'll be shooting on Sunday, June 22, 2008 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

P.S. We have one scripted PSA that requires a 5-year-old with the ability to learn and sing a few lines. If you know anyone, please let us know.

BTD I will PM you with meeting details since it is at someone's house and I don't know if I should put that up or not on the web?

[BarTopDancer]

Thanks Cherny! I replied.

I am going to see if they have MySpace and Facebook groups yet.

Newsom expressed surprise that the cities of Bakersfield and Oroville were worried about not having enough staff to marry gay couples. Newsom said he would dispatch volunteers, if the clerks there are intersted [sic] in having the help.
