New Year’s Eve at Hamburger Mary’s (map), for their famous Bingo FUNdraiser! Tickets on sale soon! Play bingo, watch Go-Go boys, and help Equality Network raise money for our National Equality Action Campaign!
Many thanks to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who made this happen for us.
This Sunday, starting at 5pm, at the Hollywood Lutheran Church (map), Arts for Equality will be holding a benefit for Equality Network, to help raise money for the repeal of Proposition 8. Called “A Wedding for All,” this music variety show will infuse world beats with local artists and a little comedy flavor. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at aweddingforall.com.
Tickets pre-sale or at the door are $10, but if you bring a package of baby diapers (any size), you’ll receive free entry to the show!
That’s because the Equality Network is launching the Equality Network Foundation, the first project of which is the Los Angeles Diaper Bank.
Did you know that children’s diapers are not covered under any government relief programs, and that babies and toddlers, if changed regularly, can go through over $100 worth of diapers a month? For families living in poverty, this is an unbearable burden, and some children are forced to live in soiled diapers for days a time, leaving them at risk for not only deadly infections, but also abuse from constant crying.
This is a huge problem in poverty-stricken households, and one that has almost no attention. Equality Network Foundation is taking a stand to remind everyone that All Families Matter – from gay to straight, poor to wealthy, we all deserve the dignity of marriage, and the most basic of all needs covered.
Please join us for wedding cake, a champagne toast, and an evening of music and charity.
People lately have been telling us how excited they are to get out on the streets and just “do something!” As opinion leaders like David Mixner have begun calling for civil disobedience and direct action, Equality Network has been forming a plan to launch a National Equality Action Campaign to remind the people of the United States that equal rights are not a convenience, they’re a requirement.
The time is now, and you can help us to launch our effort by joining us for a night of fun and fund-raising, on Tuesday, December 8th at 8pm! We’ve assembled a star-studded list of entertainers for our second “Family Values: Babes in Toyland” event, at Eleven Nightclub & Restaurant in West Hollywood (map), including: Selene Luna (The Chow Show), The Bouffant Sisters, Ongina (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Frangela (I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here!), Ian Harvie (Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed on ABC), Nadya Ginsburg (Comedienne), Tammie Brown (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Barbie Q, Detox, and special guest appearances by your favorite celebrities!
But that’s not all! We’re holding the season’s best silent auction for holiday shoppers in Los Angeles! Check out all these items!
Items in our silent auction at our first Family Values event sometimes went for as low as $25!
Entry to the event is just $8 if you buy your tickets online before arriving, or $12 donation at the door. Arrive with an unwrapped present for a child with HIV/AIDS, and you’ll receive free entry!

News coverage of these brutal murders:
Join us on Thursday, November 19th at 7:30pm for LAvender Los Angeles’ “LGBT Political Power Discussion” with former Senator Sheila Kuehl and veteran activist Torie Osborn. This is the final night of their exhibit before closing masquerade ball, and Equality Network is attending to be a part of a pivotal conversation about politics in Los Angeles.
LAvender Los Angeles is a visually engaging exhibit that has been running for two weeks, with the mission of uncovering our city’s unsung LGBT history; to connect the experiences of the past to the aspirations of the future; and to highlight those who pioneered our progress.
The exhibit itself is open 4:30-9:30pm. For information on location, parking, and public transportation, head to the Roots of Equality website.
