The Ann Arbor OutFest has a Beer Tent

I guess I didn't know gay people were in to beer. The Ann Arbor News covers the OutFest, held (you guessed it) on the site of the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market.

"Music, speakers, theater, dancing, a beer tent and a silent auction were all part of the 11th annual OutFest celebration Saturday evening for Washtenaw County's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Most festival activities took place at the Farmer's Market, where for at least part of the evening people had to take cover under the market canopy to avoid the on-and-off rain.

The dominant theme for many who attended was the opportunity to be open and unafraid of their sexual identity."

Perhaps the biggest news of the day was that one Christine Cook, who we are told just moved to Michigan, "had recently seen an antigay bumper sticker." Shock! Ms. Cook wants us to know, though, that gay people are "just like everybody else."

OK. And by the way, don't forget to get your tickets for the theater presentation of "'Vampire Lesbians of Sodom' at the Kerrytown Concert House as part of the festival."
