LGBT Journos To Meet In DC

This weekend I’ll be in DC where the National Gay & Lesbian Journalists Association will host the 2014 meeting of LGBT media folks. The event is sponsored by the Haas Jr. Fund, a social welfare group founded 51 years ago by the then-chairman of Levi Strauss and his wife. This is the fifth annual Haas event for LGBT media, which has previously been held in NYC, San Francisco, Houston, and Philadelphia. MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell will be the keynote speaker on Friday night. We’ve got quite a full day on Saturday – a very early White House visit then all day meetings – but we’ll be doing a meetup at the Green Lantern at 9:30PM.  As always, I invite the JMG community to come and sip delicate cocktails with us. Yeah. There may have been some rampant reader-on-reader hookups at past events (ahem, Houston), but I make no promises.  Check out the attendees at the meetup Facebook page. We will be live-tweeting the meeting topics and presenters’ words at #LGBTmedia14.
