Gay Activist Geoff Robinson Speaks at Meet in the Middle

Geoff Robinson: "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Dorothy".  Has been in civil rights for years, "re-enlist in the modern civil rights movement today."

Fresno 5th largest city in CA, 6th largest LGBT film festival in nation.  In 2007 Fresno hs nominated trans prom king, pther hs nominated trans prom queen.  Next week, Fresno Pride reaches 19 years... "a political statement of defiance in this hostile environment."

At start of Fresno Pride, KKK showed up for 4 years.  Have not seen them since.

Fresno is the Bible Belt of CA... but last year, "we stood up for our rights."  "We did it here. Imagine what we could have done if the No on 8 campaign had not ignored the central valley."

"Obama: Sign ENDA, Repeal DOMA and DADT!"

"We will not leave trans brothers and sisters behind"
