Sunday from 2-4 PM at Monte Cello's on Babcock Boulevard, come out to support Allegheny County Council candidate Tom Michalow.  This event, sponsored by the Steel City Stonewall Democrats, gives you a chance to meet Tom and learn about his qualifications as well as the reasons LGBT persons from around the region are coalescing around his candidacy. 

Here's the Facebook invitation.

I personally think you should try to stop by because this is our community's chance to actually unseat an anti-gay elected official.  This is a race where your $20 donation might make all the difference.  The northern suburbs may seem miles away, but replacing a Republican opponent with a Democratic ally should be right up your alley. 

Tuesday night, another ally, Franco Dok Harris is holding an LGBT fundraiser at 5801 in Shadyside fro 7 - 9 PM.   Here's the Facebook invitation.

Dok is a strong supporter of LGBT rights and, as you may know, an Independent Mayoral candidate.  Swing by 5801 to say hello and support pro-LGBT candidates.  Plus, enjoy what should be a lovely evening on the back deck with friends and acquaintances. 

Dok is a great guy.  I know it is a work night, but we gottta get ourselves out there to make these relationships early so it doesn't take the next Mayor over a year to get an Advisory Committee up and running.
