They are very creative in how they approach this hot topic issue, in that they engage in service oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights to foster thought and change for LGBT equality. A friend of mine told me about it and I thought it was a great, positive approach to the issue. We had so much fun at the last event and it was great to give back to the community. Plus it was great to converse with others on the other side of the table in a way that wasn't confrontational. Anyway, this can be such a heated issue and I thought this was a unique approach.

About 50 of us were there with chants, signs, flags, candles, and cameras. I'll see if I can get some photos from friends.
