Happy Pride! We are gearing up for SCOTUS's big decisions this week or next. For me, and perhaps many of us, waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions on DOMA and Prop 8 has been akin to patiently waiting to learn if I passed the Bar exam. The future is uncertain and all possibilities must be considered. At BALIF, we are preparing for every scenario with a keen eye on the future of the LGBT movement. Whatever SCOTUS's decision, this year's Pride will be one for the history books!

Please join BALIF and Jones Day on June 30th for our 5th Annual Pride Breakfast Celebration. Come and enjoy great food, drinks, and fun before you head out to watch the Pride Parade. Also, don't miss the Real T-Party, a Trans March Fundraiser at Asia SF this Thursday, June 20th. We look forward to seeing you all out and about for Pride and the upcoming Day of Decision events!
