Night OUT at the Nationals
Hello Nats Fans! This year’s Team DC Night OUT at the Nationals takes place on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, when the Washington Nationals take on the Chicago White Sox at Nationals Park. Pre-game activities will begin at 5 PM, and game time is 7:10 PM. This will be the 15th Anniversary game and we will definitely have some special events as a result.
We’d love for your group to join us this year either as an “All Star Partner” (ASP), or as one our smaller groups, so we can help promote your brand/organization at the event you’ve helped us build as one of the largest LGBTQ events in professional sports.
Attached is a sheet explaining the benefits of being an ASP. Cost savings, convenience, the chance to go on to the field for pre-game activities, etc. Something new this year is that everyone who purchases a ticket to the Night OUT at the Nationals through Team DC or through our special online link will receive a 2019 Night OUT shirt featuring the Washington Nationals official logo.
Don’t worry though if you aren’t a 50+ group. We will still work with you and make sure we take care of your group as best we can with regard to ticket pricing, seating, etc.
If interested, please email Lambda PTO for more information. Go Nats!

Tango Mercurio Offering ‘Queer Tango’ Classes in DC
Queering Tango: An Exploration
This course for advanced, beginner or intermediate students will combine instruction on fundamental tango vocabulary and technique with discussion and exploration of the assumptions we make about gender, masculinity, and femininity–and how that might affect our dancing and our interactions with others. Students will be invited to experiment with both roles and reflect on their experiences.

A Vigil Against Violence, hosted by Jerry Blackmon
On Sunday, April 14, 2018, a cowardly act of violence struck deep into the heart of our community. Two gay men were viciously attacked in full view of cameras, witnesses and passers-by who felt posting to Twitter was more important than stopping an assault that left one of them lying in U Street unconscious, and the other bloodied nearby with a busted nose. I’m sure everyone has seen that horrific video.
It is 2018. We will not stand for this. We have had enough.
This candlelit Vigil Against Violence is a visible expression of solidarity with the two members of our community who were viciously attacked near Dirty Goose this weekend, the two others who were similarly assaulted two weeks ago outside Town.
We will assemble at Stead Park Thursday night at 8:30 and the event will begin as soon as the final game has ended, around 9 p.m.
This is the first of a series of events that will, in fact, be what I’m calling a “Muscular Response” to end this violence once and for all. Tonight we’re solemn. Tomorrow, we march.
Candles and ASL interpretation, of course, will be provided.
