Gay activists gather for ‘Equality Summit’
Hundreds of gay activists gathered Saturday at the Los Angeles Convention Center to make plans for repealing Proposition 8, the November ballot measure that banned gay marriage in California.
The “Equality Summit” began with invocations from a rabbi and a minister, followed by strategy sessions about how to reach out to different ethnic groups and religious communities.
In the afternoon, attendees were invited to a session about religion and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement. There also were sessions broken out by regions around the state.
