TOWSON – On Tuesday January 17, 2012 the Baltimore County Council meeting came to order at 6pm, shortly after learning that Councilman Kenneth Oliver added his name to bill 3-12 as a cosponsor.  The bill now has four cosponsors including Tom Quirk, Cathy Bevans and Council Chair Vicki Almond.

A look at how Creating Change 2012 has been a personal catalyst for one activist.

Late last spring I attended a Host Committee meeting of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s Creating Change conference. Little did I realize how much that would create a series of ripple effects in my life and the goals I would have for much of 2011 and moving on into 2012. At this meeting, there was a call for volunteers to help steer the event and in particular for a couple more folks to take on the role of Host Committee Co-chair, joining Matt Thorn and Rev. Sam Offer who had already committed. At the urging of another, I decided to toss my name in for consideration. Little did I know what impact that would have on me in coming months.
