Looking for a change of pace, an interesting night out? This Monday, May 21, 6:30 pm at the State House:
"The full membership of the Massachusetts Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth will meet on Monday, May 21st, 2007, in the Gardner Auditorium at the MA State House, Boston, at 6:30 PM. This meeting is open to the public. Please use the entrance on Beacon Street behind the horse and rider statue, at the corner of Park & Beacon Streets."
Not only is the Commission unconstitutional (as an independent fourth branch of government!), but it's unilaterally adding the terms "bisexual and transgender" to its name. Even the wacky legislation creating it last year did not include these terms.
If you come to the meeting, you'll see members who use these terms to describe themselves. Here's the official list of the members:
