"It's A Black Thang! The Black LGBT Vote '08 (Part Five)

On Wednesday, January 23, 2008 the Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community will came together from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to hold a Presidential Election forum. The two-hour event will be held in Los Angeles before an audience in the historic African-American community of Leimert Park at the Lucy Florence Coffee House and Cultural Center located at 3351 West 43rd Place in Los Angeles.

Entitled "It's A Black Thang! The Black LGBT Vote '08," the Forum was the first of its kind that featured the voices and opinions of African-American LGBT persons, a community whose voice often goes unheard in both the mainstream gay community and African-American community. At the conclusion of the Forum audience members participated in a mock vote to determine if the primary election were today, which Presidential candidate would have the Black LGBT vote.

The organizers of the Forum invited the leading Democratic and Republican candidates to participate in the Forum.

Part Five features Beatrice Coleman-Sweet, editor of TreazureMag.com.
