Community Town Hall Meeting to discuss Prop. 8 this Sunday...

With all sorts of emotions flowing since the passage of Prop. 8 nearly a month ago, Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA)'S Los Angeles chapter is sponsoring a community meeting.on Sunday in West Hollywood.

Robin Tyler (pictured with wife Diane Olson), is on the advisory board of MEUSA and one of the co-organizers of this meeting. Also present will be Torie Osborn and Jehan F. Agrama, commissioners on the City Human Relations Committee along with other community leaders will be there.

The email I got about the event had a tone that not-so-subtly took a few swipes at the "Virtual Town Hall Meeting" that took place last week and had its critics.

It reads in part:

Wouldn't it be great to have a Town Hall where you don't have to submit questions in advance?

Wouldn't it be great to have a Town Hall meeting that is not virtual, where you can actually see the people you are talking to? PC and Mac users both welcome, because there will be no logging in online, it is live and unscripted. You actually get to stand up and talk on an open mike, rather then be lectured to!

For the first hour, we want to hear what our community has to say about Prop 8, to share your feelings, whether positive or negative. For the second hour, we want to hear where you think we should go from here.

And by 'we' we mean all of us.

Everyone is welcome, including those who led,loved and lost the campaign, and those who felt left-out and did not, which includes community leaders, grassroots activists, young and old, LGBTQ and their allies, and people of color.
