Marriage Talks in Raleigh this Month

UPDATE: This meeting was set up by the NC State University GLBT Center, Kate is just an invite speaker, since NC folk can't even speak about our marriage issue, that we need to heard the issue from some from CA, Just like we didn't read or follow Prop8 for months and years while it was going through the courts..

Call you believe this one..

Join NCLR Executive Director Kate Kendell in Raleigh, NC this Saturday, January 22nd for a discussion on how Proposition 8—the 2008 ballot measure that stripped the freedom to marry from same-sex couples in California—impacts everyone. What if a similar marriage amendment is proposed in North Carolina? We all need to strategize and talk about the future of marriage for the LGBT community in North Carolina and beyond.

Kate will be joined by event organizers from North Carolina State University’s GLBT Center.

The discussion will begin at 7 p.m.

For more information, please contact GLBT Center Director Justine Hollingshead at jholli99@gmail.com.

Well I just have to wonder just how many will show up for this event. Which I'm sure will be more Lesbians then gay men..

Kate wants to talk about Prop8 of CA, and what it would look like here..

Well unless NOM is involve most of the lgbt folks won't care. However If NOM comes to Town then the local Bloggers (phb) and LGBT newspaper (qnotes) and our only Equality group will sound the horn for the attack..

This is a loaded topic here in NC. Its would seem that many of our groups haven't really done much on this issue lately, and this year could be the battle year. Since they rather attend the HRC GALA and kiss a bunch of fatCats asses. Suck up to Joe ass. Then after the GALA the guys will go down to Hargett St. for the clubs and the Adult bookstore, to get their rocks off.

In the pass two years there has been two Marriage Rallies, NC4Marriage and NOM. The community only attended the NOM rally because GayInc only approve that one.. Rally was set up by Get Equal and NC Equality, since GayInc claim that only a national Groups can set these type of Rallies up, that local LGBT folk don't have the skills to set one up.

I wish Kate the best...
