GLBTA Potluck at the First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist in Bridgewater
We've all been invited to attend a dinner hosted by the First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist in Bridgewater (near the Art building) for the 6th year in a row. Our neighbors have given unwavering support for GLBTA equity and inclusion in many things they do. You may remember that their rainbow flag was vandalized twice two years ago and the BSU community rose up in solidarity and spoke out against those hateful criminal acts. This annual dinner in October is only one of the many gestures of support and outreach they have extended to us. The members of the congregation will host a potluck for us (including vegan and vegetarian options), followed by a discussion about all of our respective experiences advocating for GLBTA equity and inclusion in Bridgewater and beyond. Come hungry and ready to participate or listen in on the discussion. Please RSVP to Jen Coutu at jcoutu@bridgew.edu by Oct 14th. We hope to see you there!

The film is the first ever to uncover the harsh realities that GLBT seniors face due, in part, to a health care system that does not recognize their families. This powerful documentary follows the lives of six Boston area GLBT seniors who are abandoned by their children or the health care system and who oftentimes must retreat into the closet to avoid being bullied by the very people hired to take care of them.
