SOCIAL: I'm publishing a book! Please spread the word!

[Sunny Angulo]

Dear Friends:

I know that you all have tons going on this holiday season, and probably a
million requests to turn out for such-and-such an event.  I just wanted to
let you know about something that I've been working very hard for awhile
now, that I'm finally getting to see published.

It's a book called *Such A Bittersweet Day: Marriage Equality in the Wake of
Prop 8*, and I've poured a lot of myself into ensuring it sees the light of
day over the past year and a half.

It's a collection of beautiful black and white photos by local civil rights
photographer Geoffrey King, and oral histories based off interviews I did
with various people in the queer community over the past year and a half.
Part of the goal was to showcase the many different voices, perspectives and
backgrounds of the LGBT community, ones that were perhaps not shown during
the NO on 8 campaign.  The project has been important to me for a lot of
reasons, but that was definitely huge for me.

Also, neither Geoff nor I are making any money off the sale of the book.
100% of net proceeds are going to LGBT civil rights groups, starting with
the Transgender Law Center and AIDS Legal Services, in an attempt to show an
expanded vision of the struggle for LGBT civil rights, one in which marriage
equality is only a piece of the larger fight.

I hope you can join me this Thursday evening, 6:00-9:00pm at Trigger in San
Francisco's Castro District for the launch of the book.  You can now
purchase the book online at : http://suchabittersweetday.com/

The book is being published locally by Blurb, and we are proud to support a
local business in San Francisco.

Hope to see you out this Thursday, and please forward to anyone you think
might be interested in the book project.  I will only say this once, because
it sounds grody, but: it makes a great holiday gift! (: It does!

Also grody, but necessary: Facebook invite and Fan Page:

Become a fan, save a fairy.

Paz,
Sunny

PS: I'll be on KPFA's Morning Show with Aimee Alison on Wednesday morning,
if anyone wants to call in and keep us company on the air.
