Los Angeles: National, Local Organizations to Host Huge LGBT Election Night Party at The Music Box, Nov. 4
LOS ANGELES, October 21, 2008—Hundreds of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community members and their friends will gather in Hollywood on election night to watch election results and celebrate the historic campaign to defeat Proposition 8. The event, which will take place at the Music Box @ Fonda Theater, is sponsored by more than 15 national and regional organizations and figures to be the largest LGBT election night party in L.A. history.
Guests will enjoy a hosted bar and food, while watching the election results on a huge on-stage projection or on any of 8 giant, flat screen monitors throughout the theater and lounge.
“The campaign against Proposition 8 has brought together an extraordinary alliance of groups and individuals to fight for equality and human dignity,” said Alan Acosta, director of strategic initiatives at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. “We want this party to serve as the festive capstone of an epic battle, a celebration that reflects the historic scope and exuberance of the campaign itself.”
The party will feature live updates from community and political leaders, free prizes and giveaways, and music from D.J. Steve Cunningham (Akbar, MJ’s). There is a suggested donation of $10—free to No on 8 campaign volunteers.
