BREWHAHA! My Big Fat Gay Wedding (07/21)

Big Fat Gay Wedding

Mawwiage. It’s what brings some of us together and what keeps a lot of us apart. Despite years of pushin’, teachin’ and learnin’, LBGTQ folks still can’t get married in Oregon. Up until this year you had to go to Massachusets if you were a lady longing to marry a lass or a lad wanting to wed a feller.

But then – like a big, rainbow-colored wave – six states offered marriage for same-sex couples. From Maine to Iowa, hitchin’s are happ’nin’.

So why is Oregon stuck in this Equal Rights dry spell? How can we break it and get busy gettin’ wed?

All your questions shall be answered. Fabulously.

On Tuesday, July 21st, the Bus is (domestic) partnering with Basic Rights Oregon, the Portland Mercury, Lippman’s Party Co., Saint Cupcake and New Deal Vodka for the most flamboyant BrewHaHa at least since the last one.

My Big Fat Gay Wedding will serve up cold microbrew, delicious democracy cake, the past and future of marriage equity (where we’ve been and how we get to where we wanna be) and a possible appearance from a particularly visible member of the LGBTQ community in Portland politics.

Where: Backspace at 115 NW 5th Ave.

When: 7pm

Who: All ages

What is costs: Nothing! (And Bus Drivers get discounts on beer).
