That looks like it's going to be a great conference. I love the opportunities that are presenting themselves these days. Fights, griping, whining and idiots aside - some REAL national conversations are taking place on many levels. Our country won't ever be flowers and rainbows (heh, no pun intended), but - I think these conversations are worth having.

However... MBLGTACC? really - needs a shorter name. How about EDL: Equality for Different Lifestyles. Covers everything (and will fit on the flyers)!! ^_^
