Yes, very cool

*rimshot*

But seriously, this is nice.

After all, it's pretty much common knowledge that she is herself a lesbian.

The special reception?

Can we afford this?

When Skinner did the DU survey the results indicated that the median income of DU members was higher than the nat'l median so I would have to say yes.

It also indicated that DU was older, more educated, and much less minority than the rest of the nation.

Anecdotally I have seen more than one member speak of his or her seven plus figure net worth.

"U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939 in 2013 versus $51,759 in 2012, statistically unchanged." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States

That is for the household even assuming, say, $75,000, after taxes, housing, expenses, etc., I cannot image anyone having that kind of money.

Seeing as "Nearly half of households in U.S. couldn’t handle an unexpected $400 expense" - http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150607/PC05/150609735/1177/nearly-half-of-households-in-us-couldn-x2019-t-handle-an-unexpected-400-expense

This is really out of touch.

Can anyone on DU actually accomplish that, in order to attend the important event?

It seems out of reach and out of touch.

BTW, $2700 is really stretching it if $400 is unattainable to most.

Speaking of the "A gays" I am sure the Human Rights Campaign will come out in support of Hillary as well. I know they were quite fond of Lieberman and Giuliani!

I don't know how Lieberman and Giuliani entered into this conversation but I do know the former was one of the leaders in the Senate to repeal DADT and the latter signed on to an amicus brief with other Republicans asking SCOTUS to repeal the same sex marriage ban.
