TOPIC OF MY TALK: What the GLTB Movement Teaches the Atheist Movement
SUMMARY: The atheist movement is already modeling itself on the LGBT movement in many ways — most obviously with its focus on coming out of the closet. What else can the atheist movement learn from the LGBT movement… both from its successes and its failures?
PLUS: I’ll be doing a live podcast interview with the Godless Bitches!

Looks like a great time. If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there!
I live in Denver, and you will!
I hope this “GLTB” is not more divisiveness. 🙂
