An activist angry with how the city has handled the aftermath of the unconstitutional Atlanta Eagle raid urges the bar's patrons and supporters to attend the Atlanta Police Department LGBT Advisory Board meeting tonight to show “strength in numbers.”

Laura Gentle is a straight ally who helped organize one of the first rallies to support the Eagle, days after the Atlanta Police Department raided the gay Midtown bar on Sept. 10, 2009. Gentle is using Facebook to urge more people to attend the meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse.

On Monday, May 17th at 5pm team members from the Shirt Off My Back Campaign (SOMB) will join together with local community members at 10th St. and Piedmont Ave. to march for International Day Against Homophobia. We're asking supporters of SOMB to "Take the Shirt Off Your Back to STOP Homophobia." I know what you're thinking, what good is taking off a few shirts going to do in the epic battle against discrimination? That's a good question and I've got a great answer.
