This message is to ask when the Mayor plans to announce the launch of his LGBT Advisory Committee and release the names of his appointees.
Thank you.

So I guess we'll see more details forthcoming.

OK this is progress. You are probably right that they want to announce it at Pridefest. The most important thing will be who sits on the committee.
The proof is in the pudding. Let's see who is appointed before we throw a parade.
Bang up job getting this response, Sue. I enjoy your tweets. Keep up the good work.
Its seems like it is going to be a good committee. I know of 2 Trans folk that have been contacted!
They were told the Mayor is going to make a formal announcement at the end of May or 1st week in June.
We might just have something here.
Sue, thank you for keeping this issue alive. It is important and no one else has been paying attention. You are one tenacious lesbian. Keep up the good work.
That is interesting news. Did they accept?
