Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Activists from throughout Snohomish County (where Lynnwood is) and King County (where Seattle is) have come together to stage an alternative to the violently anti-gay Watchmen conference scheduled for the Lynnwood Convention Center this weekend. [Click for all of our Watchmen coverage, or here for Hutcherson coverage.]

The Sunday afternoon even will feature a gathering of speakers, including members of the clergy, and a special free screening of Inlaws & Outlaws, a local-produced documentary featuring the real-life stories of Washington LGBT people.

Everyone is welcome to participate.

Love and Pride: Lynnwood Responds to Hate

Sunday, October 21, at 3pm
Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church, 8109 224th Street, Edmonds, Washington [get directions]

Equal Rights Washington had this to say today in a press release about the Watchmen gathering:

We're concerned about this group's activities. They have a radical agenda that seeks to roll back rights for members of the LGBT community and a record of violence is associated with the watchmen. Activists from Lynnwood along with many groups are hosting an alternative event to show support and concern for the LGBT community.
