It's interesting that he's never met with gay group before -- this sounds like it could be a step towards reaching some kind of understanding. It's particularly encouraging that Andrea Shorter was present; she's quite good at bringing communities together.
Ultimately, I'm hoping that we'll hear an apology from him. But we're probably quite a few emotional meetings away from that happening.

It was an peculiar protest at the Rockit Room, with some heated but non-violent gay vs. rasta debate on the sidewalk. Seems like the winner was the Rockit Room, with a sizable crowd going in to see the show.

As far as I know, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center has an open invitation out to him and his people, which has been ignored.
