The most popular instructors of the Institute of Gay and Lesbian Education will be offering mini-courses in West Hollywood this Sept. 19-21. The Weekend College will also mark the inauguration of School's Out! -- a new program of community education at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. Under the theme "Queer 2000: Where Do We Go From Here?" we will examine gay and lesbian psychology, film, communication, politics, and culture from the perspectives of the past, the present, and the future. In addition, there will be a keynote speech, a historical exhibition (presented by ONE/International Gay and Lesbian Archives), a game of Queer Jeopardy 2000, and a concluding Town Meeting devoted to setting an agenda for the lesbian and gay future.

 

Everyone welcome! Members of the community from all backgrounds are invited to participate.

 

Keynote Speaker: Tom Rielly is co-founder of Digital Queers and CEO of PlanetOut, the largest internet service for gay, lesbian, bi and trans people. Rielly's address is on "The Digitally Queer Future: Peril and Promise."
