Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what's happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.

Diversionary Theatre’s Queer Theatre program will present a concert reading of four scenes of the new queer opera Sextet by Nicolas Reveles. This first public workshop of this intimate chamber opera explores the many facets of gay desire for community, for power, for acceptance, for family, for sex and for love. From Walt Whitman to The Rapture, a storybook tale to a look at love in the 21st Century, San Diego composer and librettist Nicolas Reveles seeks to find a common thread in the poetry, lore, myth and experience of gay men coming to terms with extraordinary circumstances.
Nicolas Reveles is currently The Geisel Director of Education and Outreach for the San Diego Opera and the host of OperaTalk on UCSD-TV. He composed, in collaboration with librettist J. Sherwood Montgomery, an operatic setting of The Sleeping Beauty which toured schools and theatre venues in a production by the San Diego Opera Ensemble in the fall of 2005. His latest opera, Rumpelstiltskin was toured by the Ensemble from 2007-2009 and produced by Lyric Opera San Diego in February 2009. J. Sherwood Montgomery is artistic director of Lyric Opera San Diego.

We know that we have hundreds of thousands of minds to change to build more support for marriage for same-sex couples. To change the hearts and minds of our neighbors here in San Diego, we're going door-to-door talking with people about their stance on marriage. About 20% of the people we talk to become more supportive of marriage for same-sex couples, especially after we share personal stories with them of real people that were hurt by Prop 8. We just need more people to join our canvassing team to share more stories! Join us at 2pm for a great training to prepare you to have great, persuasive conversations, get paired up with a buddy, and come back for some dinner! Help us change the hearts and minds of our neighbors before the opposition closes their minds.
