In the mode as a credentialed new media reporter for Pam's House Blend, I'll be heading up to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning to cover the Equality Summit. It's billed as follows:

    The Equality Summit is a gathering of community leaders committed to winning back marriage equality in California to network, share information and resources, and plan next steps.

You can read about the goals of the Equality Summit here.

Personally, I'm extremely pleased to see in the schedule that I there is a transgender interest/constituency group listed for the 11:30 AM breakout session. About to the same level that I'm pleased seeing the transgender specific breakout session, I'm concerned that I don't see the phrase lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender used anywhere in the description, goals, or anywhere else on the webpage for the summit.
