Darn, Day 4 got here pretty quickly and in 24 hours I'll be headed back to the Lone Star State.  But as the old saying goes, time flies when you're having fun and around some amazing Black LGBT leaders.

While the CBCF-ALC is having their prayer breakfast from 7:30-10:30 AM, those who didn't want to (or couldn't get) tickets to that event have 8:00 AM-1:00 PM workshops and sessions to attend,

Meanwhile up the Metro line on our side of town in NW DC we' ll start a packed Saturday of OOTH events.  It starts from 9:00-10:00 AM with another OOTH 2o12 General Session which will be entitled The Future of the National Black Justice Coalition.

As you've probably noticed as you perused the posts I've been putting up over the last few days I'm back inside I-495 and in full effect at the National Black Justice Coalition's third annual OUT on the Hill.

I'm up here with my Black LGBT peeps sending the message that LGBT people includes Black LGBT people as well.  And since this event also is being held during the same time as the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's-Annual Legislative Conference, the same event that gets C-SPAN coverage, we also get to send the message to them that Black LGBT issues are also Black community issues.

Speaking of issues, let's segue into my usual Friday 'bidness' in terms of determining what fool, fools or group of fools will emerge with the coveted TransGriot Shut Up Fool Award.this week
