my little club which i serve on the board and as newsletter editor is having a big week here in san francisco. the alice b. toklas lgbt democratic club is hosting its annual pride breakfast tomorrow morning as it does every year with local elected officials. last year we had a first in hosting a gubernatorial candidate at our breakfast. this year, we have a major national first as Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, joins us for breakfast. there's a good article here about the significance of this. for most years in the past, even our friendly presidential candidates distanced themselves from actual gay pride events, but the times-they-are-a-changin' and shows that we are becoming more accepted and sought after. and shows a great deal of courage and strength from the Edwards campaign.

as an aside, i'm actually going to miss it. as i am in charge of putting together my boss's pride parade contingent and want to make sure everything goes smoothly, i'm going to be preparing that all morning and won't have time to stop by the breakfast as i usually do. but, it's ok, i'm excited for the club, and our community, as a whole.
