(APN) ATLANTA – The Atlanta Stonewall Democrats (ASD) held a launch celebration this evening for its new Atlanta chapter, which is meant to replace
a former Georgia-wide group.
About 70 people packed the Red Chair Club at Amsterdam Walk in Midtown Atlanta for the gala from 6-9pm. Appetizers such as really good spinach artichoke dip were served and mingling commenced.
Nationally, the Stonewall Democrats are a political coalition for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (glbt) Democrats and Democratic activists who support glbt issues.
"Face it, the gay community is a big clique. When will our community come together as one? It sounds so cliche, but really, as one solid firm voice?" Dave Fauntleroy-Harris, 2nd Vice Chair and Board Member of ASD, asked Atlanta Progressive News (APN).
One former member of the Georgia Stonewall Democrats (GSD) was in attendance and told APN the group used to have 500 members but has been in decline. The transition to the new organization, the ASD, appears to be going smoothly.
