Another question for the mayorWhat can the D.C. government due to help support the establishment of a permanent home for the glbt community center, the DC Center? Other major cities, have well-established, permanent homes for their glbt community centers (New York, Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, etc.) that offer a large number of programs and services for many groups (offten, disadvantaged groups) and provide a center for area residents, a space for visitors to come and meet and get information on the area’s glbt resources. The DC Center does so many wonderful things for so many individuals and groups — it’s the public face of the glbt community in the Washington, D.C. – metro area. Why can’t Washington, D.C. have a first-class glbt community center with a permanent home?

Thank you,
Scott Shaughnessy

Please comment on the need to improve business relations between Jack Evans’ 2nd Ward and Dupont Circle mostly white gay community and D.C. Dept. of Employment Services: a mostly black DOES staff made me wait for 99 weeks after my unemployment insurance was exhausted to start worker retraining in Arlington,Virginia: assignment was not related to my 20-08 fundrasing for Obama and I have only $119 in the bank with no income and no job. I also hope to tell Blade about my Supreme court case when pro-Bush National Labor Relations Board agent John O’Donnell hung up the phone on me when I complained of contract violations : probably due to my past residency in Chicago ;s pro-gay 44th Ward: I had obstacles to returning to Roosevelt University there, a desired topic with Kevin Jennings of Dept. of Education.
