Hello everyone :D
Last week's meeting:
* We discussed Ally Week and what it is [It's this week!! Oct.18-22]
* Those that wanted to signed the Ally-pledge forms :)
If you haven't already signed up but now wish to do so, tell Evan, Naomi, or me
* Last week, I sent out an article on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

To summarize, the government is going to have 60 days to appeal the law - otherwise, it's done for :D WOOT :)
* We discussed Prop 8 in CA and what a huge issue this is becoming. I mean, Prop 8 is unconstitutional and discriminatory!! >.< The GLBT / Alphabet community is making progress to obtain its rightful rights and have gay marriage legalized in the whole country :)
* We did the gender stereotypes activity and held a small discussion
* Evan read the trans-gender article out loud
* There was a somewhat heated discussion about the question "what would we do if someone said they don't like gays?"
* Evan asked everyone to check out the site http://www.thinkb4youspeak.com/ and REALLY think before you speak!!
