Come Out in Purple Today for the Vigil

By Rob Cohen, October 20, 2010, 8:39am, Qmmunity

Just a quickie reminder and update on today's Vigil in Purple event at City Hall.

The event starts at 6:30pm in front of Austin City Hall with a very special announcement. Wear purple as a sign of solidarity! Virtually every LGBT organization will be present.

The event will feature speakers from all walks of life. Teachers, students, and even politicians such as Representative Mark Strama.

The event will conclude with a moment of silence in honor of all recently lost.

Check out my piece for the ACC newspaper, The Accent, and our Crush Of The Week piece for more about event organizer and emcee, Omar Lopez.

The Gay Place krewe, Dandy, and I encourage you to attend. We will see you there!
