Happy Friday!
So… there might be a rapture tomorrow evening. But just in case, many Fresno-ians (Fesnites?) are planning on taking part in this local event that looks like fun. (Beware the street closures and parking mess on Fulton over the weekend.)
Here’s some news worth noting from around the LGBT community…

Tonight ABC affiliates broadcast their show “What Would You Do?” with a gay family twist. A waitress is openly rude to actors portraying gay parents in a crowded Texas restaurant. The responses of the other patrons is resounding as they put the bigoted waitress in her place.

And lastly something meaningful to tickle your funny bone from Goerge Takei, who promises us, “It’s okay to be Takei!”
That’s all for me… have a fun, and safe, weekend!
