Jenny Block: True Colors experience shows why concert is needed

Over at The Huffington Post, Dallas Voice contributor Jenny Block (pictured above) talks about her encounter with some homophobic kids at the True Colors concert on Sunday in Dallas. In more upbeat True Colors news, Jeff Strater reports that volunteers for the Human Rights Campaign signed up hundreds of people during the event for HRC’s “Pledge to Vote.” You can sign the pledge yourself online by going here. Also, Strater has joined the blogosphere. You can read Strater’s “Denver Bound Blog” here. (Strater, vice president of the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance, will be a national delegate to the Democratic Convention in Denver in August.)
