My special invitation to people with queer/LGBT/gay parent(s) to join me and a bunch of other queerspawn for a really cool gathering in Dallas. Please: I want to meet you.
The Task Force has set up an online system that makes it really easy for you to spread the word about horribly discriminatory amendments that will be on the ballot in various states in 2006. Here’s the email that came from Matt Foreman, Executive Director of The Task Force:

This just in from queerspawn comedian Kaitlin Colombo:
I know, I know…You’re probably thinking…
There are already 100’s, if not 1000’s of BLONDE, 20 YEAR OLD, FEMALE COMICS wearing CORSETS & MINI-SKIRTS doing POLITICAL AND POP CULTURE COMEDY while lovingly skewering their Big Gay Dads…
