This event is sponsored by BloomingOUT in conjunction with Rachel’s Cafe. BloomingOUT exists to educate, entertain and stimulate listeners to engage in dialogue about real issues and events relevant to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) population of south central Indiana. bloomingOUT reaches thousands of people within the regional area through the WFHB radio broadcast, as well as millions more nationally and internationally via the web through podcasting and web download. bloomingOUT strives to maintain an upbeat, informative and entertaining show that can be enjoyed by both the queer and straight communities, and provides a space to facilitate communication within the LGBTIQ community.

Proceeds from this benefit will support WFHB, a local non-profit community radio station which depends on direct local financial support to pay for its’ broadcast operations.

Songs for Lesbopalooza


Hey, this is happening Saturday at noon. We will meet at 11:45 for a quick practice inside the central entry at Collins-LLC. 10th and Woodlawn – SW corner.

Tune: When the Saints go Marching In

When everyone has equal rights
When everyone has equal rights
Oh how I want to be in that number
When everyone has equal rights

When health care is a right for all……

When we make peace instead of war……

When taxes go for schools not jails…..

When corporate rule is history……

When gays are free to live their lives…….

When old growth trees, are left to stand…..



Would any of you have an interest in gathering and raging in DC for the Inauguration on Jan. 20?


FYI: The granny e-vine has sent a message to all USA raging grannies asking if there is interest in an effort to show our faces at the Presidential inauguration on January 20th. This is something to be discussed at the next meeting, and a response can be made to the evine after that point. Granny Vicki (an evine coordinator) is offering to do the organizing if there are enough U.S. raging grannies wanting to participate.
