Stonewall Dems of Pinellas Honor LGBT Veterans Back
The Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County will host an event to celebrate the official repeal of the discriminatory Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy on September 20, 2011 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM at Queenshead Eurobar & Restaurant.
“As the LGBT-arm of the Pinellas Democratic Party, and a leader in the LGBT community, we felt it was important to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment,” said Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County President Rick Boylan “this is a giant step toward full equality.”
According to the Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County website, this is just one of many accomplishments the LGBT Community can celebrate under the Obama Administration, but to thousands of American Heroes, it’s one of the most important.
“Our members felt it was important to use this as an opportunity to honor local LGBT Veterans who bravely served their country while suppressing such an important part of who they are” said Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County Vice President Susan McGrath “after all, we have the right to celebrate this milestone because they fought for that right.”
The event will be held at the Queenshead Eurobar & Restaurant at 2501 Central Avenuein DowntownSt. Petersburg. Local elected officials and Party leaders are invited to attend, along with other members and friends of the community, to help the Stonewall Democrats honor LGBT Veterans.
The Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County is a not-for-profit political committee that is organized as an affiliated Chapter of the National Stonewall Democrats (NSD) and as chartered Chapter of the Florida Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Democratic Caucus.
