"Out
on
The
Dance
Floor"!....
as LGBT and same-gender couples
Join Lambda DanceSport
DC and the Chevy Chase Ballroom & DanceSport Center this Saturday
in the art and sport of DanceSport for same-gender couples. A sport
which could well become one of the most effective forms of grass-roots
LGBT activism available to us today, not only in the courts or at
the end of a picket sign (though those are important, as well),
but rather Out
On
The Dance Floor!!
It is definitely time to STOP WATCHING
all the fun....and START HAVING IT!!
