Hillary Clinton
is launching a national effort to encourage her LGBT
supporters to organize forum viewing parties nationwide on
August 9, the date of the LGBT-specific presidential
forum that is being sponsored by gay cable
channel Logo and the Human Rights Campaign.
The Advocate will be live-blogging the
entire Los Angeles event.
Clinton's
campaign Web site states: "We are
encouraging Hillary's LGBT supporters from across the
country, and their families and friends to host an
'LGBT Americans for Hillary Forum Watch Party'. This
is a great way for you to get involved and to help us grow
our LGBT Americans for Hillary network."
The campaign
expects the largest "watch" party to take place
at the Abbey Food & Bar in West Hollywood, which will
provide a live telecast of the event. After the forum,
Senator Clinton is scheduled to stop by
the Abbey to address the crowd.
"I look
forward to sharing my views on issues important to LGBT
Americans at the Logo/HRC presidential forum,"
Clinton said in a press release. "I hope people
take this opportunity to gather at forum watch parties and
learn how we can work together to move our nation closer to
the promise of fairness and equality that all
Americans deserve." (The Advocate)
