I'm flying to San Francisco today to do a panel discussion Tuesday afternoon for Michelangelo Signorile's radio show. The discussion will be taped live and then broadcast on his show a bit later. It should be fun, and it's open to the public - live audience - and free, so consider coming by. Details are below.
CONVERSATIONS IN QUEER AMERICA:
Combating the War on Freedom
Taped in front of a live audience at the Koret Auditorium for exclusive broadcast on SIRIUS Satellite Radio
San Francisco Public Library
Tuesday, October 17, 2006 @ 5:30 pm PT
Doors open at 5:00pm; limited seating: first come, first served; admission free
Sponsored by the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center of The San Francisco Public Library
The event will take place Tuesday, October 17, 2006 at 5:30 pm PT at The Koret Auditorium at the San Francisco Public Library. It will be taped in front of a live audience for broadcast on Signorile’s show on SIRIUS OutQ on Friday, October 20.
Three weeks before important mid-term elections, Signorile’s guests - GLBT activists on the front line of queer activism - will strategize to take America back. Where is the movement for marriage equality headed? Should gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people be more focused on the larger assault on civil liberties and the government’s military actions? What is the future of GLBT rights? This thought-provoking discussion will address these questions and many more.
