The day began with the Opening Welcome and plenary speakers. I will say that just to be in a room full of engaged, passionate, queer activists was a moving experience. As the opening ceremony began, you could feel the atmosphere of determination and motivation. Attendees ranged the full spectrum of our community- every age, race, religion, gender, and identity you can imagine was represented with smart and vocal participants.
