Tasmanian LGBTI federal election forums

You are invited to our forums in Hobart and Launceston and the National Day of Action rally in Hobart.

The Tasmanian Gay and Lesbian Rights Group is conducting two candidate forums for the 2010 federal election.

Candidates from a range of political parties will be present to offer their views on GLBTI issues and to take questions from GLBTI community members.

It would be wonderful if you could come. Please also pass on the details to others. Full details are below.

Also below, please find details for the rally in Hobart on Saturday August 14th to mark the National Day of Action of Marriage Equality.

Please call me if you have any questions.

All the best,
Rodney Croome.
