D.C. voting begins, but you can do more
washingtonblade.comOn Oct. 3, every D.C. registered voter will begin receiving their ballot in the mail. We are fortunate that voting in D.C. is both easy and safe.
Not everyone in the nation has that opportunity. I urge everyone to look in your mail for your ballot and VOTE! If you are not yet registered, you can still do so by contacting the D.C.
Board of Elections. We are fortunate in D.C. to live in a place where the rights of members of the LGBTQ community are protected by law, and our legislators support us.
As a community we have worked hard to ensure that. But there is still more to do. I moved to D.C. in October 1978 and Marion Barry was about to be elected mayor.
