Last night, at the KTOO studio with the panel and the Mayor, audience turnout was more than hoped for. We’d hoped for at least 20, but more than 30 turned out. It was a very moving experience. Our panel did a great job, and about a half dozen in the audience participated too. We were well represented by our city government: in addition to the Mayor, our Deputy City Manager was there, as was Jonathan Anderson – our elected Assembly member and current chair of PFLAG Juneau. Friends, family, parents, and allies all were there with us who are of the GLBT community. It was the first production KTOO has ever done with their new digital equipment – so we were part of history in that 21^st century shift. KTOO’s staff, in particular Terry Tavel the producer – who also wrote the grant for this [presentation of] Anyone and Everyone – made us all feel very comfortable and welcomed. The studio was full of energy, rapt attention, and a lot of love.

 

I believe the final product from last night’s taping will make us all proud.

 

I’m just so grateful to everyone who is being involved and making this all possible!
