TONIGHT: A Blinding Flash of the Obvious
Following the successful 2004 campaign to encourage Cincinnati voters to overturn an anti-gay city charter provision approved a decade earlier, People For the American Way Foundation Director of Interfaith Outreach Rev.Steven Baines had a vision of educating people about the lessons learned in Cincinnati. He wanted to develop a means for fairness advocates across the country to replicate the success of Cincinnati.
